Solid Stay

handy locationtasty breakfastsound insulation
I had a four-night stay. The location is handy for walking to Kelvingrove Park, the university area, and the city center. Comprehensive written information about local facilities was available. The breakfast was large and tasty. It sustained me for a day of sightseeing.
My room needed better soundproofing. I could easily hear other guests through the wall! This meant I was woken up by snoring through the night. Sound insulation between rooms would help.

The location was convenient for exploring. The staff was friendly and helpful during check-in.
The room I stayed in was smaller than I expected. Soundproofing was not good. I could easily hear other guests through the walls at night, quite disturbing.
