The Argyll Guest House is often praised for its convenient location, about 15-20 minutes walk from both the city center and the Hydro.

Just adequate. Not my favorite

small room flickering lights

The breakfast buffet was acceptable, nothing special. Though it did the trick for a quick bite.

The room was quite small. There was no space to properly open my suitcase. Talk about inconvenient. Plus. The flickering lights were annoying, every time someone walked above, they went crazy.

varied options good location friendly staff worn common area dated decor limited parking

The breakfast was super great, i loved all the options! the location was also really good. It was close to everything. the staff were very friendly and helpful.

the common areas looked a little worn, i noticed! my room seemed a bit dated too, especially the decor. finding parking was difficult as the hotel only had a few spots available.

a haven of warmth

convenient location good bars easy access

the location proved supremely convenient as it allowed easy access to the ovo hydro. i found good bars and cafes nearby. the subway was within walking distance, a convenient feature for exploring the city centre.

i noticed a faint aroma lingered in the hallway, a minor detail.

small room musty smell

The room I got was not what I expected. It was quite small and located downstairs (I really didn't like that). The bed felt a bit too soft for my liking. There was also a faint musty smell when I first entered the room, which wasn't very inviting.
