The only down side might be the cleaners tried to walk in in the morning and the sound proof isn't that good so you hear people talking in the hallway in the morning but since we were awake, it wasn't a big deal.

Form - Function = Fail…read more What I didn't realise when I booked in to the Lorne Hotel was that it was only opening 2 days before. Unsurprisingly, it has a lot of teething problems, but I'll ignore those for this review. That still leaves me with adequate niggles to bitch about. The good: - The beds are very comfy, the décor's pretty swish, assuming you go for that ultra-modern style. - The staff were pretty friendly, if somewhat flumoxed by all the new procedures. The bad: - The rooms are pretty cramped. While they've gone to the trouble and expense of installing ultra-wide doors throughout the hotel, there's no way you're getting wheelchair in the bedrooms without hauling the bed out first. I believe the internet term for this is "FAIL" - You can't turn the A/C off. The vent is right above the headboard. But you like a constant breeze on your face while you try to sleep, right? - The showers are very futuristic. Unfortunately, this means super-angled taps, which are both over sensitive and difficult to grip. You will alternately scald and freeze your naked self. There's also no soap shelf, and the curved shower doors leave no room to actually manoeuvre or bend down, so I hope you're adept at picking things up with your feet. - I have a PhD in Space Physics. I say this not to try and impress. I say this not to elicit sympathy at my tendency to utterly kill small talk at parties. I say this to put the following into context: I couldn't figure out how to empty my wash basin. In the end I completely unscrewed the whole plug mechanism just so I could brush my teeth. Seriously, who thought the sink needed redesigning to the point of making its operation completely unintuitive? FAIL. - The breakfast is £12.50. This is Glasgow, not Tokyo. I'm sure some people will love the Lorne. They'll probably love sitting in the bar, trying to write a screenplay on their iPad.

The guest house was quaint and provided a great breakfast. It is across the street from Kelvingrove…read morePark and a short walk from the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. It is also well-situated for accessing downtown Glascow. Unfortunately the toilet did not work well in our room (#4). The owner admitted that the toilet had been malfunctioning for some time and said that it could not be fixed during our stay; consequently, it was suggested that I use the public bathroom across the hall. The guest house manager offered to reduce the cost of the room to make up for the inconvenience of having to leave the privacy of my room for the hallway bathroom. Unfortunately, the inn's owner, at the time of our stay, did not honor the concession. When I contacted him about the matter, via email, he offered gibberish. I understand that the inn was sold after our stay and is under new management.

The bathrooms are shared, but there are enough of them that it was never an issue where I had to wait. All in all, an excellent value. Utterly adorable breakfast room overlooking Kelvingrove park tennis courts. Nice breakfast spread with bacon, eggs, croissants, fruit, yoghurt, toast, juice, and more. In addition to a DVD collection that you can borrow and enjoy in your private rooms, there is a laptop for free email/internet that you can use during the day. A fat, happy kitty cat welcomes your pets when you come in from your day in Glasgow. That makes me feel at home! A huge thank you to Steve, who went out of his way to help us with a variety of needs. He really goes above and beyond to make sure his guests are happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Glasgow.

The Good: - Super cheap hotel right in the centre of…read moreGlasgow. - Decent breakfasts served from 7-9am. The Less-than-Good: - A shower that had a) barely found lukewarm (let alone hot), and b) was about as powerful as a sloth taking a piss. - Wi-fi only available in the breakfast room. - Wi-fi seemingly not available at all on laptops. - No TV remote. - A fire alarm that goes off at 5am 3 out of 6 nights (50% of the time, it works everytime!) - Need to leave your key at reception whenever you leave, meaning a lenghty wait for it back if the receptionist has taken a walk or there are other folk checking in. - 30% of plug sockets out of order. A decent price for anyone spending a night in the city, but for stays any longer than a couple of nights, invest a little more. Not really worth paying for everything that was wrong with it.

HOWEVER, the room-maximum rule is STRICTLY enforced. We were trying to fit 7 people into the 5-person suite and through the whole process with getting the key from reception each time we were found out (even though it was a different person at reception, so they must keep note of who the guests are when they check in). We were told the extra people could not stay so we had to find extra accommodations on a weekend in Glasgow where literally every hostel was booked. This is forgivable, because I'm sure they have lots of people trying to fit as many people into the cheap rooms in order to save money. In all other aspects, they were extremely hospitable: they allowed us to check in early and keep our luggage in the building after we checked out. It would have just been nice to know how strict they are on the room occupancy beforehand.

The room also had a kitchenette, ironing board, hot towel rack, sitting area, a fan, a desk etc. This is a hotel which is perfect for longer stays. In the basement there's a laundry room with three washers and three dryers for the guests to use. No coins needed. You just need to get soap. Of course it could have been hardwood floors, air con and a pool - however this is Britain, so we didn't expect that. We did not try the hotel breakfast, however we ate at both The Spoon Cafe and Rose & Grants a cross the street. The food at the Spoon Cafe was very disappointing and Rose and Grants food was excellent, so we kept going to the latter.

(have that towel down so you don't trip) -no towel holder by shower (unless you put towel on toilet :/ -little to no room in bathroom to store toiletries -dirty grout in shower ( I'm here to get clean :/ ) -tv kept cutting out, had to mute it every time -no conditioner or lotion provided ( shampoo/conditioner/shower gel in one dispenser) Overall we got good sleep at this hotel.
