Wonderful
The location was excellent- quiet, but walking distance to shops, restaurants etc.
There was some water on the floor in the bathroom after rain several times.

Well-located rooms, very convenient for Glasgow's west end and university. The full kitchen in the studio apartment is a bonus. Both the shower and the comfortable bed were excellent. Reception staff were accessible and pleasant.
The TV didn't apparently work, and the bathroom could use a radiator to warm the room and dry towels. The room decor is perhaps little tired. Parking is free, but quite difficult to get to, and to get into, down a narrow cobbled alley.

Great hosts and very convenient apartment. It was really useful to have a kitchen to cook my own meals. Location directly behind botanical gardens was very quiet yet easy access to public transport with a bus stop just a few minutes walk and the nearest subway station about 10 minutes walk. I loved having the walking path along the river just outside the apartment. Lots of restaurants and stores nearby. Great value for money.
The apartment (on the ground floor) smelled really strongly of some cleaning chemical and the smell remained all week I was there. The apartment would definitely deserve some love as several bits and pieces were falling apart (broken chair leg, broken soap dispensers, holes in walls, etc.). Sound insulation between apartments not the best.

Disappointing
The location was great, near the botanical gardens, bus stop, ease of getting in an out, near grocery store, helpful people in the neighborhood, and a general sense of safety when I walked outside. The apartment was clean.
I felt deceived about the size of the apartment. The picture was very different than what I was given. When I reported this to the check in person, my complaint was dismissed. The space was a bit cramped. Apparently in Scotland, they do not provide wash cloths. The kitchen was sparse in that there were no paper towels, minimal cutlery, I would have preferred a hand held shower head, as the overhead one was difficult to use.

Pleasant
Location, building was nice, size was good.
The smell. Not sure what it was. Little things could have made it nicer. Maybe paper towels and salt and pepper considering there was a full kitchen. The fan was appreciated but it didn’t work properly.

Friendly, helpful staff. Great location.
Only had towel service and cleaning one time in eight days.
At least one more visit would be nice.

Our apartment was spacious, welcoming and wonderfully located. I met 2 cleaners, a chap on the welcome desk as we arrived and a woman as we handed in keys. All were friendly and pleasant. Our apartment was clean and well stocked, the bed was comfy, clean and warm.
There was nothing I didn't like!

I really liked the nice lady at reception in next door hotel. She was very kind and help with any questions we had (shopping, post office…) Thank you!

Very friendly staff, great value for the price. The kitchen and bathroom were clean and the bed comfortable.
We'd have like a couple more lids for the pans cause there was only one, and it took us a minute to realise the fridge was off. A notice for this would've been nice, but certainly wasn't a requirement.
Thank you for your information!
