07 February 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was really easy to find and was in a great location. It is right in one of the major shopping areas and also one of the major areas for night life. It is not too far from one of their underground stops which is convenient as well. The staff was very friendly while we were there. The room was quite nice and the bathroom was clean as well. We did not make it to breakfast because they stop serving at 9:30 but again, not hard to find a place to eat in the area. I highly recommend.

Disliked: The room was cold. The heater was on full blast but the room was still quite cold. There were enough blankets so that we were not cold while sleeping however.

Liked: The breakfast was great! However I believe that the best part of this hostel is the location. Mclays is very close to nightclubs, centre and shopping areas of Glasgow.

Disliked: The room was very cold. The heaters are very close positioned to the doors so the room does not heat very well. The windows are probably not properly sealed so the cold comes in the room.

Liked: It was pretty quiet and, at the same time, very convenient to the main thoroughfare and shopping area as well as many other places of interest.

Disliked: The hilly area that had to be negotiated to get to the Hotel is quite daunting, not for myself but my friend who experienced some difficulty.

Liked: The fact that I left at 0500, yet I could still have toast/tea/cereal.

Disliked: Certain parts of the guesthouse seemed unclean and there was a slight stale smell upon entering my room. Member of staff who served breakfast wasn't the chattiest of people and didn't seem to care very much.
