Disappointing
Pros:

Arrived for a special birthday, room wasn’t ready and we had booked spa time for basically 10mins after check in, cleaning was still in progress apparently. 20mims later got access to the room and they moved our spa spot forward so we didn’t miss out on our time. The room itself
Was nice and had a lovely view overlooking the square, however cleaning wasn’t great, drinks rings along the bath ledge and rubbish in bin. Our spa slot which you have to pay for over and above the cost of your stay was so disappointing, steam room wasn’t working which I feel we should have been informed of upon entering and given some kind of gesture as an apology considering the cost of the use, it just went downhill from there on, the rust situation on the mouldings and taps look terrible, it doesn’t feel like a 5 star treat that it should be. Bathrooms were just as bad, rust everywhere, dirty towels lying around and it just didn’t give a bang for the buck. Evening meal was lovely no complaints at all and we used our little voucher for a free drink for our room not being ready. The following morning, I discovered the coffee machine wasn’t working and so ordered 2 coffees, they both arrived Luke warm at best. Really disappointed in our stay and unfortunately won’t go back. It needs some tlc if it wants to advertise as 5 star.

Combination of luxury and comfort
Pros:

The Spa . High quality restaurant food

Cons:

Despite having the most equiped Spa facilities, unfortunately there was a restriction on time accessing such great facilities for hotel guests . For example , we could only use the spa between 5-8 pm in the evening. It significantly limited my access to the facilities .

Confident and classy
Pros:

My husband and I stayed here for two-nights during a recent 3-week trip throughout the United Kingdom and it was one our favorite places. From the warm welcome, delightful gin & tonic set-up waiting for us in our room, friendly staff, gorgeous setting, and helpful advice - it was all fantastic! Also apologies...it was a long trip and there were too many names to remember, so just know everyone there May 26-28th was amazing. :)
After some stays in London that were far more "form over function" it was wonderful to be at a quietly confident establishment that felt like it knew what it was doing, including staff who had the time to interact with guests and seemed comfortable doing so. Indeed, staff at the Kimpton Blythswood displayed a delightful sense of humor, offered great suggestions (the concierge suggested Ben Nevis Pub for some traditional Scottish music, and we had the best time!), and made us want to return just to stay there again.
Thank you!

Excellent spa treatments, below average spa facilities
Pros:

My sister and I visited the hotel for a spa day and treatment and were excited after having looked on the website.

The hotel itself is beautiful and had a lovely atmosphere. The spa was OK, but a little disappointing considering the cost. The spa facilities were a bit unloved - messy with robes and towels and empty glasses everywhere so we couldn’t sit down on any beds. The pool water was also unclean around the steps. At one point a staff member came to check the temperature of the water, walked past the mess, and didn’t tidy or mind it. The spa facilities and water were also SO warm.

We had treatments, one was from Emma and we can’t remember the other therapists name, but both were exceptional (which is why we’ve rated 4 stars and not 3). Despite this, we wouldn’t return - it was overpriced and not a destination spa.

Was nice hotel but overrated and over priced
Pros:

It’s a lovely hotel

Cons:

Check in was at 3pm we got there at 3:15 and the room wasn’t ready had to wait till 3:45pm to get in. Went for breakfast in the morning they forgot my breakfast so my husband had ate all his by the time mines has came only after me asking where it was bit disappointing for a £53 breakfast no apologies or anything. Spa is lovely but could definitely do with a freshening up we paid just under £300 for one night stay wouldn’t say it’s worth that
