More than £6million of public cash has been dished out to a “hellhole” homeless hotel branded “disgusting” by council chiefs. Stomach-churning revelations over standards at the Copland Hotel in Glasgow’s Govan have been exposed by a homeless man once forced to live there.
Marius Samavicius, 31, shared his investigation with the Record after previously describing how he lost all hope during his grim, two-month stay at the B&B – sleeping in a dirty, bug-infested room on a soiled bed.
The artist laid bare the huge bill Glasgow City Council paid to house the city’s homeless in the Copland and highlighted 20 recent health and safety breaches.
Marius said: “I remember when I was living in the hotel how lonely I felt. I wanted to do something to try to help others still living there so I started looking at the facts.”
Marius, who grew up in Lithuania, became homeless during Covid after moving to Glasgow from England in 2021. He was given emergency accommodation at the Copland where he says he was allocated a room “full of flies”, taking photos of the mess.
Marius was furious at what his housing benefit of more than £800 a month was being used for so he began research using Freedom of Information laws. He discovered Glasgow City Council spent £6,439,377 on emergency accommodation at the Copland between April 2010 this April.
Bills have been considerably higher in recent years, with £846,186 handed to the Copland in the last year. The overall amount paid to the Copland is likely to be higher, as bosses say they have been working with the council for more than 20 years.
Marius obtained copies of the hotel’s most recent environmental health inspections. Among 20 issues raised, the report said contractors had noted “rat activity

Guy Lodge Film Critic You have to admire the moxie of authors and filmmakers who set their science-fiction spectaculars in the very near future, essentially confronting viewers with what may seem a pretty outlandish forecast for their own lives. Those that pull it off present us with possibilities resonant enough to ponder, even when they’re too far-fetched to actively fear: So it proves in “Restore Point,” a sharp, high-shine sci-fi outing from the Czech Republic, in which earthly life after death is routine, a cellular rather than spiritual matter. Set in an unspecified (though Czech-speaking) central Europe in the year 2041, director Robert Hloz’s whopper of a calling-card debut may offer a more credibly subdued, budget-constrained visual of the mid-21st century than the lavishly built “Blade Runner 2049” — unless we’re in for a drastic design (r)evolution over the course of the 2040s — but its ideas are sky-high in concept. Marrying glossy mainstream genre aesthetics to probing, elaborately conceived speculative storytelling, this is a notably ambitious and auspiciously well-realized first feature for Hloz: the kind that appears to be flaunting his capabilities for even bigger international and Hollywood assignments.
