The reception was friendly and welcoming and some parts of the hotel are being refurbished. we had one of the newly refurbished rooms on the second floor and whilst the bedroom complete with en-suite was nicely furnished and clean, the room complete with a 4ft bed was just about big enough for two. The breakfast at the weekend was a little chaotic with many people arriving near the end at 0930 hours. The breakfast was ample (help yourself) and attending staff were courteous and coped very well.
For a hotel near the SECC and city centre offering free car park and breakfast for two, for ?50 you can't really complain too much. No doubt rates will rise once refurbishment is completed.

The location of the hotel is good for public transport (the aiport bus stops outside the door) and accessibility to the city centre and surrounding tourist attractions (museums, art gallery etc) although the immediate surroundings are very run down.
The hotel reception and lounge areas are spacious but plain, the dining room cramped due to part of it undergoing refurbishment and the upper corridors drab. The little things like dirty doors in reception and shabby carpets in lift and hallways give the impression of neglect.
Our room, 126, was at the end of the first floor corridor and overlooked the front of the hotel and the main road. The room was spacious and had obviously been recently refurbished, the bed linen and bathroom clean and the bed comfortable. Tea/coffee facilities provided.
The two windows are not double-glazed so the traffic and outside noise could be a problem - it sounded like the window was open all night. The walls of the rooms are paper-thin - can hear every sound from the room next door and the hallway. Anything above a whisper can be heard. The doors have to be almost slammed to ensure they are locked properly which is very noisy, especially at 2am!
Breakfast was very busy - some people having to wait for free tables, but the staff were pleasant and helpful.
As with any hotel booking you get what you pay for. I would not choose to stay here for longer than a night and certainly not if I was on holiday but as a place to stay for a night it was ideal.
For ?40 per night, for room and breakfast for 2 in a large city I felt we had excellent value for money.

This is a dump, the reception and lobby are the best parts and they are awful, the rooms are dank, unkempt and in poor decor and very poor repair. The receptionist is as welcoming as a dose of the flu, avoid at all costs, I mean really bad!

never mind any of the previous reviews about this hotel i'll sort it out once and for all!!!!!! Myself, the wife and another couple arrived at the devoncove for a 2 night stay. got out of the taxi and went in through the front doors to be greeted by a lobby full of dust and dirt - not a good start. got the keys to the room and after 2 secs of entering the rooms(nothing to what they look like on their website) we had enough, went back to reception told the lad in charge what we thought of the hotel and demanded our money back. in fairness he was rather understanding and gave us our money back and we left in a hurry. Also just as we were leaving another lady was demanding her money back and was checking out also - she wasn't a happy camper at all!! to all those who have reviewed this hotel favourably before i would say that you are easily pleased or BLIND. the hotel is rundown and is falling apart and in my own opinion needs to be gutted and a complete overhual undertaken. was talking to the taxi driver on our way to our other hotel and he told us that it was a rundown dirty kip that the managment dont care about. You have been warned.

Booked a 2 day break with my wife to do some shopping in Glasgows wonderful shopping centre but the whole stay was spoilt by staying at this hotel. Our room was on the first floor and we found at 2am in the morning to be also occupied by a bunch of drunken yobo's. They continued to party until 6.30am despite several complaints to the hotel management. The yobs even decided to erect 2 ironing boards outside our room and do some ironing. The night manager apologised and promised a reduction in our bill but when we booked out the receptionist denied any knowledge of the trouble. Several other guests made similar complaints.
On the plus side the room was OK and the breakfast fine. We reported faults with the room hairdryer which was ignored.
My advice is don't book this hotel as there as many others in the area to pick from.
