Dissapointing.
Pros:

The location is very central, and the staff very friendly.

Cons:

The room was very dated/tired, with worn surfaces and split padding on the armchair. We paid for the 'best' package in terms of services, but this felt 'cheap'. Dissapointing

1st night in Scotland after a long fight and the warm distant hum of bagpipes

Lovely hotel with outstanding staff
Pros:

Great location in central Glasgow, next door to Queen St. Rail Station and a short walk to bus station. Spacious. comfortable, well-appointed room with stocked mini-bar. Lovely breakfast room overlooking city rooftops. Staff were were knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. I did have an issue getting hot water for my shower. Housekeeping showed up immediately and when they couldn't make it work either, they opened a neighboring room so I could use that shower. They even comped me breakfast for my inconvenience.

Loved it
Pros:

Just back from our 4th stay this year at this hotel. We were in an explore room with great views for people watching. Room itself was spotless and having stayed previously in the older style rooms the refurbishment is lovely.

All staff are very friendly, professional and nothings too much hassle.

The location of the hotels ideal for the main shopping area.

Elegant hotel in a great location in Glasgow
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel in Glasgow, close to the Buchanon bus station, the Glasgow train station, and many pubs and restaurants. Our room, which was a “snug king with complementary minibar” was large, nicely furnished, and with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was modern and roomy. We enjoyed a walk over to the Mackintosh Tea Rooms for a late-afternoon tea. My wife and I stayed only one night, but would certainly stay here again.

Stuff are amazing a fantastic hotel
Pros:

The rooms are beautiful and stunning. The new showers were amazing however in our room we had an issue with the rain shower, we bought it to the hotel attention and they offered to move us room but we were comfortable and they cleared up all the water than came out of shower area onto the bathroom floor.

The staff were so friendly and chatty, they were always around and on hand to help, the cleaner on floor 3 was fantastic the room was so clean and tidy and such a friendly member of staff.

I would like to give Stacey a special mention she was so lovely to speak with during our stay and she was on hand to help with the overflow of water problem we had on the first night, she did offer us to move rooms however we were happy and comfortable in that room, we understand that teething issue appear to new rooms, we never used the rain shower the remainder of our stay as we didn’t want it to happen again.

Can’t wait to come back once all renovations are all complete to see the difference. The area where this hotel is perfect for everything.

Cons:

There was nothing that we didn’t like
