It is nice now, but must have used to be a dump. When we arrived in Glasgow the taxi driver asked where we were going and when we told him, he looked at our kids and said we should find another place. Apparantly it used to be city overflow housing for transients. We were pretty concerned, but when we got... more

Seems as the years has made it's marks but it was clean and nice. Had to leave early so we could not enjoy the breakfast. Personel was friendly and service minded. The elevator seemed to need a service though. Overall it was worth the cost. more

Dear Guest, You are right, the property is old, infact over a 100 years old and does come with its own challanges. We are just trying to do our best to keep our Guest's happy in every way we can. Your valuable comments are much appreciated. Regards, Management

Me and 7 other friends had a weekend away and after reading some of the reviews I was a bit worried about having already booked into here. I should not have however ! The rooms were clean and tidy and bathroom was spotless. The buffet breakfast was wonderful and had a really good variety of stuff even my vegetarian friend... more

Have just returned from sixth or seventh stay at this hotel and as always found it to be perfectly comfortable and clean! I do not know what people find to complain about this hotel. Lets face it you pay less than £50 (internet prices) for two people bed and a very acceptable breakfast what the hell do people expect the... more

Well i arrived at the hotel with quite high expectations as i have worked in glasgow in the past and it is such a brilliant city. The location of this hotel is amazing...... however........ that is the best thing about it.... every thing else is not nice. It is more of a European Youth hostel, they were refurbishing some of... more

We stayed a couple of nights at the Alexander Thomson, specifically to attend a Coldplay cencert at Hampden Park. Reception and breakfast staff were pleasant and efficient. The room was large and comfortable with a huge bathroom. Yes, the shower did take a while to heat up but we were on the 5th floor. Great city centre hotel and at... more

We stayed at this hotel when running the Glasgow Half Marathon. I only read the reviews on my return - and I was very surprised at all the very bad reviews. I couldn't find major fault. Our room was very large, with a separate entrance room containing a large leather sofa and plasma tv. The bathroom was nice, although the... more

Having read many poor reviews before our visit we were rather apprehensive but our experience exceeded our expectations! Its amazing how many reviewers expect 5* service at 2* prices. The main tip here is to ensure that you get a refurbished room. Ours was on the 4th floor and our very adequate double room was clean and well serviced daily.... more
