“This tartan-themed building sits quietly away from the bustle, offering a distinctive Scottish experience; inside, you'll find an attentive staff and hearty breakfasts. Its location makes the University of Glasgow and West End attractions quite accessible, though some past guests have noted the beds could use an update. For those seeking culture and convenience, this could make a smart base.”
