This was the last accommodation of our trip to Scotland, two nights in Glasgow. We chose it because it offered a kitchen and looked modern and comfortable in the photos. There was another option further from the center but without a kitchen, so we finally went with this one. Unfortunately, the experience was disastrous.
Arriving in Glasgow on a Saturday night was a total shock: streets full of drunk people, vomit on the sidewalks, and even a bleeding man after being beaten. That chaotic atmosphere already made us regret choosing this city as the last stop.
Although it was listed as floor 1, it looked like a basement, with high windows stuck to the ceiling that barely let in natural light. The smell was disgusting, dirty carpet mixed with accumulated dust. The walls were stained, and the skirting boards had a thick layer of dust.
The bathroom, though more modern than other places on the trip, also had poor finishes and dirt.
The kitchen and living room, accessed via internal stairs, were in deplorable condition: dirty kitchen with greasy walls, equally dirty and unusable sofa, and an overall constant feeling of neglect and disgust.
The Wi-Fi didn’t work, and the TV was obsolete, without streaming apps. To top it off, the street noise was unbearable: shouting, music, broken bottles, and cars. Even with earplugs it was impossible to rest. Inside the building there was no peace either, as every time someone walked upstairs, the floor creaked nonstop.
After complaining, the next day they moved us to another room on the third floor. The “feeling” was different: still dirty carpet and dust smell, but a bit cleaner than the previous one. At least the sofa seemed usable, and the TV had Netflix.
That partial improvement left us with the impression that the hotel first gives out the bad rooms, and only if the guest complains, they agree to change you to a better one. Even so, the level was still mediocre and far below what you’d expect for this type of aparthotel.
The first floor smells of curry, really strong. It's disgusting
