The New Waterfront Accommodation - Short Let Scotland

Greenock, United Kingdom Self-catering accommodation

Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. This is a detention center-esque like guesthouse, not a hotel. The is extremely cramped and furnished with what I would liken to an old springy RV mattress (short and extremely uncomfortable). The heater doesn't put out enough heat to warm the and it shuts off automatically every two hours. The "en-suite bathroom" is something similar to an institutional that floods onto the floor and doesn't dry (was still wet 14 hours later after my shower). This was particularly fun when I had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and step onto freezing cold water. The hot (read warm) water in the only ran for about 5 minutes before turning cold - which was problematic in my already cold room. I had to sleep in thermal gear and a sweatshirt due to the heater issue. I could hear almost everything happening around me, including other people banging loudly on doors and walls at all hours. I had to check out early and book another closer to Glasgow for peace of mind and rest. If you do choose to and don't have UK cell service find a way to alert them you are coming and when. Despite the office saying it was open I had to call someone to come down and check me in. Fantastic value. It's converted student accommodation, ideal for a short stay. Fresh clean with all amenities; ensuite shower, tea/coffee facilities, tv, wifi and even a kitchen along the corridor if required. Ideally located right on the quayside which is lovely to stroll along. Near to the town centre and a Wetherspoons pub. Cheap room. Private bathroom with shower, plenty hot water. Shared kitchen with rest of floor. Excellent location right on the waterfront, next to Beacon Art Centre. Very pleased with the Good budget place, not a fancy hotel, so dont keep your hopes high, But there is a splendid view of the Clyde river right behind the property Small basic with an even smaller bathroom but has everything you need for a short stay. Communal kitchen if needed, tea & coffee in room. Very friendly and helpful staff, short walk to Town and plenty of free parking. I stayed here recently whilst in the area on business. Overall it could have been better: standards of cleanliness in the weren't up to par and the staff I'd spoken to looked like they were having an off day. The manager in particular was extremely rude when I'd shared feedback. The great thing about the place is the location, but save your money and somewhere else where the customer service is better and your money is respected. I won't be recommending this place to others. Very, very simple accommodations. Don't expect anything luxurious by any means, (appears to be ex-dormatory) however, if you don't want to pay outrageous prices for a and honestly just want a place to sleep, this is for you! Superior location though! Right on the water in Greenock! Nice, helpful staff. Stayed here for three nights and for the price of £42 per night, if you just want somewhere to rest your head, in the morning and get going, then this place does the job perfectly nicely. The Waterfront is an ex-student accommodation building so it won’t win any interior design awards with its breeze block walls, but you can tell some love has gone into redecorating by the artworks on the walls in the communal areas. The rooms are small but perfectly adequate: clean, fresh and well-presented with a double bed, a TV, tea/coffee-making facilities and a basic but functional en-suite toilet and room. The is a small cubicle with a head jutting out of the tile work, so not “luxurious” but perfectly serviceable, and while it took a minute for me to figure out how to get it running as hot as I’d like, it wasn’t a big issue. Toiletries are not provided however this was not a problem for me as I brought my own. The location is excellent - The Waterfront is situated, as you’d expect, on the banks of the River Clyde: walking distance from Greenock town centre, the Ocean Terminal featuring Scott’s Bar and Restaurant and the Waterfront Cinema, as well as the A8/M8 and Greenock Central railway station providing connections to Glasgow. Free WiFi is available at the which is a nice, unexpected bonus for the budget price. Shared kitchens are available for use by guests - I cannot comment on these facilities as I did not use them during my stay. As their advertising blurb spells out (almost a bit too clearly), if you want The Hilton or The Ritz without the price tag, it’s not the for you. But it’s certainly no hostel either - your experience of it will be what you make of it, and my experience was a positive one. I would recommend The Waterfront to anyone looking for a cheap and cheerful place to stay, whether you have business Greenock itself, or the wider area. Booked as an overnight stop on way back from the NC500. Basic but warm & comfy. John, the caretaker very helpful & let me secure my bike out off site. Great view of the river. Plenty stuff close by. Very, very simple accommodations.

Superior location though! Right on the water in Greenock! Nice, helpful staff. We been there in August. What we got was terrible. Smell like mouldy room, looked like someone just used it. My wife lifted beds cover and found hairs. We declined this room, asked for another one, but didn't got. So, after we claimed for refund - didn't get it, because receptionist didn't find any issues. Wouldn't recommend. What an absolute hole! Ex student accommodation and you can tell!! Tiny couldn’t even fit past the foot of the bed had 2 settings scold or freeze and had the last occupants hair on the walls!
