Not your usual corporate hotel, it seems to be aimed at the younger market, of which I'm definitely not. Rather than a 'normal' reception area and desk you check in at the bar area which is a large space featuring a pool table, a games console which didn’t seem to be working and a number of different spaces with comfortable chairs and tables.
The hotel blurb suggests you'll get a welcome drink upon check in, neither mysef nor my colleague were offered anything other than our room keys.
The room was okay, Premier Inn standard I'd suggest, though smaller with a correspondingly smaller bathroom.
A big gripe for me is that the rooms are set to a specific temperature which you can't control to your personal preference despite there being air-con controls in the room. The hotel has a policy of 'If you're too hot/cold open the window' which is a ridiculous notion for a city centre hotel, the traffic noise barely stopped alll night and definitely reduced the amount of sleep I got. I checked at reception who confirmed the hotel and room temperatures are set to either warm or cold by management and that's that. This negatively affected the score I've given the hotel.
Breakfast was okay, a reasonable choice of warm/cold food on a help yourself buffet style. Frosties were an option though which earns any hotel bonus points.
The hotel is in a great location for The OVO Arena and SEC Armadillo and easily reached from Queen Street and Glasgow Central Stations.
