The building has a timeless charm with a touch of vintage elegance, but the interior design is modern and beautifully crafted—especially the staircase area, which makes for an amazing photo spot. Located right next to Central Station, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around Glasgow, yet the rooms are so quiet when the windows are closed that you’d never know you’re in the middle of a busy transit hub. It’s peaceful, stylish, and offers incredible value—definitely one of the best stays I’ve had in the city. Would book again without hesitation.
