    Some Noisy Guests, due to this being old student accommodation all the doors are fire doors which is a good thing but a lot of the guests who were in our block kept coming in and out and slamming the doors or standing out side in the parking area talking very loudly under guests windows. so struggled to settle the first night and sleep, second night wasnt as bad dont know if some left or were out for the night unsure. but to be honest everything else was fine! oh and was gutted i didnt get a waterfront view !! lol!! :(

    John who welcomed us and gave us our keys was lovely and very friendly!! I was very anxious about a few things and he put my mind at ease! , Thank you!! Location was ideal for what we needed it for loads of stuff was near by too! such as Morrison's, Lidl, Hungry horse (Fab food lovely staff) and 2 small retail parks! 1 was walking distance, one was a bit further out but still very local!, leisure center was also walking distance too!, nice waterfront location (cold but lovely), boat dock area too and lovely walking routes also local to bus routes and train station! <3 1 MAIN thing I was really happy to hear was it was a very secure place, locked rooms, password doors & CCTV for it being in such an open location that made me feel safer, also being super close to the police station! (be warned if your here at weekends it can be busy! lol! with sirens!) but just make sure you shut the door into the blocks firmly! this would be the main door i would only be firm with! as sometimes other guests forgot to do this and it would be left open.

    Hard to find on Google maps sent us passed it a couple of times before realising where it was no signage to say it was there ,needs a little TLC outside .

    It wasn't exactly the Ritz but it served it's purpose with a comfortable bed shower etc

    There were a few dodgy-looking characters hanging around outside when we arrived, and a bit of noise overnight from voices, and from doors opening and closing, although nothing too bad. The only real criticism I'd have is that the shower was stone cold: I don't know if it would eventually have heated up, but we were short of time in the morning so after running it for a good few minutes I gave up.

    The bedroom was a decent size, and the fact that it was right at the end of the corridor probably helped avoid any major noise issues. The bed was comfortable, and the view from the room, over the water, was pleasant. Having the use of the kitchen was helpful. The janitor guy who let us in was very pleasant and helpful.

    Shower was a bit temperamental regarding setting the temperature and turning it on and off, but it’s workable with a bit of patience. The hot tap was running extremely hot, I did report this as you couldn’t wash under it without filling the basin with cold water as well.

    Ideally situated for the riverside, railway station and shops including two large supermarkets. Very comfortable bed, room nice and warm with heater controlled by the occupants. Good facilities in the room including kettle, so you don’t need to use the communal kitchen (one on each floor), but it’s there if you want it. Fantastic views from the rooms that face the “waterfront”. Pleasant area to walk around, feels very safe. Office staff for the block very helpful and welcoming.

    It's a large complex and double locking doors gave the impression it could be unsafe. That seems a contradiction that having locks or needing locks made it seem unsafe,but it wasn't a problem.

    The view was fantastic and the cooking and dining space was more than I expected. Good parking and very central for the train and supermarket.

    It did say it was not 5 star but was very clean. The room had a kettle, coffee, tea, milk and some individually wrapped biscuits. There was a large kitchen but no crockery or utensils. The caretaker was very pleasant and helpful. I would stay again if in the area.

    For this price it was really ok. Friendly staff, lovely view over the Clyde from my room. Also just a 5 minute walk to the Wetherspoons and a Lidl just across the street. Would definately come over again.

    The bathroom was a wet room which meant water ended up everywhere within the bathroom. Although I don't mind this, this could irritate some people. Although the rooms were clean and tidy they looked a little outdated and could do with modernising.

    The room was basic but it had all the essentials for a nights or a couple of days stay. The bed was comfy and the room was tidy. The view from the room I stayed in was great. I had a view of the waterfront and the mountains in the background. The location was peaceful and so therefor I had a good nights rest. The town that it was located in had a bit of history to it so an evening walk around on a Sunday was enjoyable. The staff were very accommodating and I felt safe and secure in the building with several locking systems to get into the building and onto my floor.

    Could not switch the shower completely off. The door handle inside the toilet came off in my hand. I panicked incase I couldnt get out. I did report this on leaving my room.

    I liked the room it had tea/coffee making facilities and a TV . I liked the location great for walking the Greenock and Gourock esplanades fabulous views across the Clyde.

    The mattress was a bit cheap and thin, so much so that sitting down suddenly on the bed, I literally bumped my bottom on the hard bottom of the bed. Although it was fine when I lay down, and soft, although people who like a firm mattress won’t love it. Also while the side and outer walls are solid and quiet, the inner wall and door are so thin, you could easily hear every word spoken and footstep in the corridor through the door. Which isn’t best with people coming and going early and late. Particularly notable with a loud American group staying in the room opposite. The kitchen could use a few more plates and utensils, although there are also locked cupboards there but how this worked this wasn’t explained to me, although I was only there one night.

    It’s secure, with several code-doors and sturdy locks. The inauspicious building has a clean and tastefully decorated interior. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was warm, clean and tidy, and the kitchen space large and well kept. Generally it was a pretty nice place to stay for a quick overnight.
