We had superior twin rooms, they were very good , clean , cosy with excellent en-suites. ”

We were able to park right outside the entrance. Located in the city centre so close to sights, restaurants and bars. The staff were very friendly and allowed us to put our bags inside before check in. Loads of choice at breakfast, a fast efficient service although they were busy. Would definitely stay again.

We only stayed for one night as were breaking up a long journey. The room we stayed in was spacious and had its own sink which was great with little ones. The beds were comfortable but there were some stains on the sheets. Breakfast in the morning was continental which was absolutely fine for us. The carpets however were very dirty throughout the hotel so that would be my only complain otherwise a pleasant stay. I wouldn’t choose to stay there for longer than 2 nights

Good value”

McLays is somewhere I stayed many years ago and so this was a bit of a nostalgia trip for me. The room was spacious and clean and the beds were really comfortable. The only downside was the draughtiness from the single glazing. The breakfast was lovely with really quick service. Ideally placed for the centre of the city and only a 10-15 min walk from the bus and train stations.

Superior room wasn't superior in any way. It was comfortable yes but not superior. The hotel needs a good lick of paint in corridors and hallways. Doesn't do a cooked breakfast either. Only cereals and toast etc. At £30 per night I guess this has to be expected.

This is my second time at Mclays Guest house. The previous time I had a newly refurbished room and it was amazing for the price paid. This time I had an old room but still very good in terms of ratio quality price. For the price of an hostel (about 20-25 Pounds) I get a private room with a shared bathroom. The bathroom is very new and super clean. The position is excellent, near centre and underground.

The lady who was on the desk was very helpful in the fact she explained clearly about parking and showed us the best option. The fact you can get vouchers is much cheaper to park for 2 days. The room was lovely clean comfy and very warm. I definitely would go back. Lots of places in Glasgow just don't care because people will pay and stay any way but this place was 100% better than some I've seen in the area. Well done mclays and staff
