McLays Guest House Reviews

Twin room with private bathroom.

The room was very plain but functional and pretty clean, but the bed I was on had a distinct lean - although that might have been the floors which were all over the shop. The breakfast was nice and the staff were helpful. I wouldn't recommend stopping here for a romantic weekend, but if you want somewhere basic, relatively cheap and close to the centre which you leave in the morning and return to at night, this is a good choice.

Great location. Nice staff but is not like a youth hostel were you'll find lots of people having fun. They serve full scotish breakfast and its included!! The best breakfast so far!!!!!We were in a private room and it had a really nice bathroom and tea/coffee facilities. Good price value.

Thought I was supposed to be checked in at 1000 but not until 1300

I booked the hostel at very short notice for a trip with two friends to Glasgow. I found the staff to be very friendly and were willing to assist you in whatever way they could. The rooms were adequate and comfortable and quite large. We left the next morning after eating a cooked breakfast. I would definitely stay there again in the future. All in all a budget B&B but well equipped and cosy.

It is more like a hotel than a hostel with private rooms costing about the same as many hostels would in popular cities. Note that the bathroom was shared however. Overall a nice, quiet place, with friendly staff and a great breakfast included. It's well positioned too with easy access to either the west end or city centre. Not having free wi-fi places these guys a bit behind the others. Those people looking for more of a party atmosphere should look elsewhere as it is non-existent here.

Breakfast was great!

Room was musty and didn't feel all that clean... there was also a draft due to the very large windows Shower was great and shower room was nice and clean. Welcome could have been warmer but it was ok and she knew what she was doing. Breakfast was weird, we were not asked what we wanted, just handed a plate of bacon, eggs, tomato, beans, potato scone... which might be ok if you eat meat or like everything (which wasn't the case with us). But for the price, it was pretty good...

The free cooked breakfast was amazing! we were also upgraded for free from a double with shared bathroom to one with an ensuite. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was good. the wifi did not work at all anywhere for us and the staff helped but also could not get it to work for us. The place is old but comfortable - the lift is pretty scary though! over all as cheap accommodation goes it was pretty decent.
