Hardgate Gardens

The owner replied to my first revue saying my comments were untrue. This review lays down the facts that are absolutely true and I would like to see corrected for future tenants. The flats main selling point is that it is close to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. My wife spent a month there seriously ill and I was able to walk to see her within 10 minutes. I found the flat suitable for isolating and not mixing with anyone. The flat is basic and the heating and washing machine work. There is good parking.

The flat was not cleaned properly. I had asked specifically for this to be done as I spoke to a previous tenant who said the grill was dirty and still had bacon on it. On arrival the microwave contained old food had not been cleaned. The smell of this remained throughout my stay. The kitchen rubbish bin was dirty and full. Kitchen cupboard was dirty and had a bag of sugar welded to the shelf. The dish cloths were dirty. The hoover was full and had not been emptied Kitchen generally: Cutlery is limited and the cutlery drawer was grubby until I cleaned it. There is a limited amount of crockery eg only one cereal dish. The hot water tap is sticky and difficult to turn Fridge was very grubby until I cleaned it and the freezer compartment has no door. It was full of overflowing with dirty ice and took considerable time for me to defrost and clean. I show a photo of the ice building up again after a few weeks. When I arrived the ice box was completely full and overflowing so must have built up over months. The main oven was dirty and produced smoke when first used and until I cleaned it. The grill shelves are broken. There are no recycling instructions or bins. There were only a couple of bin bags and one toilet roll. The dishwashing liquid was almost empty and no soap powder. Under the sink cupboard was an untidy mess with limited cleaning materials. General Décor: Some room doors don’t close properly due to multi layers of paint. Floors are grubby, and have slashes of dried paint and thick black tape is used as room dividers, Cleaning cupboard is messy and even had a dirty old sock lieng on the floor. Towels are old. Sheets are old and thin Tv remote didn’t work and no spare batteries were left. WiFi was not easy to access so I didnt bother Dining room table cheap and chipped. Toilet seat is wonky A hair dryer was broken. Garden: Rotting wooden pallets, broken glass and cigarette butts, Rotting fence and broken gate. Old cleaning rags littering the area.

Location as convenient for hospital. Quiet

Poor quality and expensive

Location was great. Perfect small house for me and my two dogs for a 3 night stay to visit family and friends in Glasgow. I have seem some negative reviews on here for this property and I have to say I completely disagree. Yes this is not the 5* Ritz. But what it is, is a nice little one bedroom property with a secure garden (for dogs or children) that is clean and basic. I bring my dogs up to Glasgow every few months to visit family and friends and most places are much more expensive and much further out (Inverclyde, Loch Lomond etc) - which is also perfect for us when we come as a couple with our dogs. But this property was perfect for what I required and I do not understand the negative reviews. I will certainly book this again.

I am trying to think of something as I suppose I should. Well, maybe I would not have been so fond of a 10am check-out if I had a few beers the night before, but I didn't and 10am check-out was fine. Maybe clearer instructions on where to park the car would be appreciated, although I did work it out very quickly. But honestly there was nothing that I didn't like.

In the bathroom and kitchen items not working

LOCATION GREAT, QUIET AND GOOD PRICE

NOTHING, ALL GOOD

It was close to the motorway and was in a quiet residential area
