My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The room was lovely, filled with complimentary items, and impeccably clean. The air conditioning was perfect, and the location was excellent. The services exceeded my expectations, including a free mini bar and access to the executive lounge. However, there were some minor issues with the pricing. The service I received from the reception to dining and cleaning was top-notch, with friendly staff willing to solve any hiccups quickly. The location was ideal for my needs, close to everything I required without the necessity of a car. It was perfect for shopping and dining out in Glasgow City Center. The dining experience was delightful, with high-quality meals delivered to the room if ordered the night before. The facilities were great, offering everything one could need during a stay. Despite minor pricing concerns, the overall value for money was decent.

I was impressed by the large and comfortable room with beautiful crystal glasses and decanters of whiskey and vodka. The hotel was ready for check-in just after 12 noon, offering a free mini bar and luxurious cut glass glasses. The staff were all lovely and helpful, leaving a lasting impression, especially after the wonderful meal at the Windows Restaurant. The location was fantastic for exploring the city and convenient for travel, though the room didn't match the modern exterior. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with freshly cooked eggs but disappointing oats made with water instead of milk. I would rate the rooms a solid 8/10 for the great size despite needing an update. The service easily deserves a 9/10 for the extremly friendly and helpful staff. Location gets a 7/10 for reflecting the online pictures but not meeting expectations internally. Dining receives a 6/10 due to inconsistencies in quality. The facilities were adequate, with a Clubroom available. Positive aspects included the friendly staff and the convenient location, while negatives were the outdated rooms and disappointing dining.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location was superb, right by Queen Street station, George Square, and Buchanan Street, making it perfect for exploring the city. The rooms were clean, comfy, and well-stocked, although being next to the air conditioner funnel was a bit noisy. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant and secure stay in the city center. However, the dining experience was a letdown, the food was not up to standard. Overall, a great value for the money.

The hotel is in a prime location, just steps away from Queen St Station and surrounded by cafes and pubs. The rooms, although spacious with plenty of storage, could use some modernization for better lighting and amenities. The service was exceptional, offering a variety of breakfast choices and complimentary drinks. The dining experience was delightful with friendly service and a great view from the restaurant. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is ideally located right next to Buchanan Street in the heart of Glasgow, offering a great base to explore the city. The service was outstandingly helpful and efficient. However, the room fell short of expectations, lacking proper mini-bar replenishment and facing a noisy generator view. The dining experience was delightful with an excellent choice of options but slightly pricey.

Rooms

The room we booked, a double executive room, was disappointing and not as expected. The lack of mini-bar replenishment and the noisy generator view impacted the experience. The lounge with free drinks and snacks was a nice touch but the room itself was not as comfortable as hoped.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were in dire need of a refurbishment but did come with a free mini bar, snacks, and other amenities like tea, candy, slippers, and a robe. The huge bathtub offered a relaxing soak, although the room was far too hot for my liking. I enjoyed the range of drinks and snacks available.
