Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel & Spa

Absolutely worth every penny! We stayed here during a business trip with our kids for a long weekend, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and always thinking ahead. They even helped keep the kids entertained when we were swamped with work, which felt like having a personal concierge. The spa is a real highlight: spacious, beautifully renovated a few years ago, and free for guests twice daily—perfect for unwinding. Breakfast was outstanding—huge variety, generous portions, and if you asked for something off-menu (within reason), they’d happily cook it fresh. Dinner was also impressive, with elegant plating and a Michelin-inspired touch, though the portion sizes were on the larger side—left us full but not quite satisfied in terms of hunger. Still, the quality and experience were top-notch. Whether you're traveling for work or family fun, this hotel delivers an unforgettable stay.

Virgin Hotels Glasgow

I'm a big fan of Virgin Hotels and have stayed at both the Glasgow and Edinburgh locations. While Glasgow's property feels more modern in terms of structure, the room design still stands out as uniquely clever—some of the smartest layouts I've seen in any hotel right now. The entire stay was enjoyable from start to finish, with great attention to detail and a welcoming atmosphere. I truly hope Virgin continues expanding across Europe—London would be an obvious next step, and even warmer destinations like Barcelona could be a fantastic fit. I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant in Glasgow this time, but I did enjoy the Commons Club in Edinburgh—it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re there.

DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central

The service was excellent—friendly and helpful staff from check-in onward. I asked about the pool location near my room, and a staff member kindly walked me downstairs to show me where it was. It’s actually tucked away and not easy to find without guidance! The parking entrance is at the back of the main building, with plenty of space—no stress finding a spot. Best of all, the hotel’s location is unbeatable: everything—from top attractions and restaurants to shopping centers—is just a short walk away. No need for taxis or public transit. Perfect for travelers who want convenience and comfort in one place. Highly recommend!

Staying at Crowne Plaza Glasgow was an excellent experience from start to finish. The breakfast spread was impressive—fresh, well-prepared, and offered a great variety of options. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, especially the lake-view rooms with their expansive windows offering serene views across the water. It’s also just a 20-minute walk to the University of Glasgow, and even easier if you take the subway—convenient for exploring the city. The location is peaceful yet well-connected, and being across from the BBC adds a bit of cultural charm. I’m already planning my next trip to Glasgow just so I can stay here again. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travelers.

The breakfast was fresh and delicious, adding a perfect touch to the overall experience. From check-in to checkout, everything felt seamless and thoughtful.

voco Grand Central Glasgow

This hotel completely exceeded my expectations! The building has a timeless charm with a touch of vintage elegance, but the interior design is modern and beautifully crafted—especially the staircase area, which makes for an amazing photo spot. Located right next to Central Station, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around Glasgow, yet the rooms are so quiet when the windows are closed that you’d never know you’re in the middle of a busy transit hub. It’s peaceful, stylish, and offers incredible value—definitely one of the best stays I’ve had in the city. Would book again without hesitation.

Hotel Indigo Glasgow

Staying at Hotel Indigo Glasgow was an absolute delight, especially given how convenient the location is. Just a 2-minute walk from the airport bus stop made my arrival stress-free—perfect for early departures or late-night arrivals. I was assigned a vibrant red-themed room, which stood out with its bold and creative design—definitely one of the most memorable stays I’ve had. The only minor hiccup was with the lighting in the room, but staff responded incredibly quickly, replacing it within ten minutes. That kind of prompt service really shows their commitment to guest comfort. Since I was rushing to catch my bus, they offered me a takeaway box without hesitation and even prepared my breakfast in advance—such a thoughtful touch. The breakfast itself was simple but satisfying: fresh bread, jams, and basic staples that kept me going. Overall, the hotel delivered on every front—great location, stylish rooms, and exceptional service. It’s a fantastic choice for travelers who value convenience and a unique vibe. I’ll definitely be back.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow

Staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow was an excellent experience overall. The hotel is immaculately clean and well-maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Its location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the train station, making it ideal for travelers like me attending a charity ball and needing an overnight stay. The dinner served at the event was delicious, and the staff were attentive and professional. However, the ballroom remained quite cold throughout the evening, even after dancing started, which made it uncomfortable despite the lively atmosphere. That said, the rooms were outstanding—very comfortable, quiet, and perfect for relaxing after a long day in the city center. I especially appreciated the peaceful ambiance despite being right in the heart of Glasgow. The breakfast buffet was a highlight too, offering a great variety and high-quality food. Overall, this hotel delivers on comfort, cleanliness, and convenience, and I’d definitely recommend it.
