Terrible hotel, its so worn and old. Not pleasant at all to stay in, the place felt dirty and i was uncomfortable getting into the bed. Mine and my partners worst fears were confirmed with the discovery of a used pair of mens underpants in the wardrobe. Didnt want to sit through the breakfast as i had a feeling that... more

This hotel has a brilliant location. However this hotel is very very dated. No hot water. You could see the grease off peoples heads who had been lying against the headboards. Would not be in a rush to go back. more

The buffet breakfast is simply delightful: full Scottish , continental and a lot of fresh fruit . The staff was very friendly: I stayed... more

On arrival we got our key from the receptionist who was very pleasant – in fact all the staff we encountered during our stay at the Buchanan Hotel were very... more

Without a doubt the worst hotel I have ever had the displeasure of enduring. This place is a real cesspit. There are bars on the windows, but prison is a bit more luxurious, has a better atmosphere, and the food is better. My girlfriend and I planned to meet in the hotel as I have been working on the outskirts... more

I was up in Glasgow for a conference - the hotel is in a perfect position, next to the main bus and train stations, one block away from all the shops. There is also a Sainsbury's Central opposite which is ideal for picking up drinks and snacks. Everything in the hotel was clean and worked. The breakfast was excellent I... more

The food was appauling, the same thing for each course only renamed! Did they think we would not notice? Steak and chips = how could they get thay so wrong. The breakfast the next day was slimey... more
