This hotel was a delight throughout. We stayed here for four nights' midweek, on a trip to enjoy the city's galleries and museums. After a long and tiring train journey we were greeted by an offer of an upgrade and a 'dram' whilst we waited a few minutes for our room.

The hotel has grown out of a short terrace of large Victorian family houses that have gradually been internally connected to make the present beautifully decorated and well laid out hotel. Our room was large, comfortably furnished, with a large bathroom in luxurious 'modern victorian' style. The room was at the top of the part of the hotel that had been the residence of Sir William Burrell (of the Burrell Collection fame). The hotel has recently reinstalled the striking stained glass window originally commissioned by him for the main staircase on the way to our room.

We had specified a rear room as one of us had stayed in the hotel before and been woken by emergency vehicle sirens from the Great Western Road at the front. This time we were on the top floor at the rear with a view over a quiet part of the city.

The next day, the breakfast was as excellent and pleasantly served as you would expect. We did not have a car but the buses to the city centre from outside are very frequent indeed. And it was easy to get a taxi back.

The hotel is also within walking distance, through pleasant streets, of the university and Kelvinside galleries.

We dined two nights in the hotel. It was a good menu with some unusual taste combinations that worked. One night we were rather let down by a seemingly untrained member of staff introduced to us as the sommelier. But on the second night, the sommelier on duty was a very helpful and professional Canadian with an excellent knowledge of the wines he was serving and what would fit the tastes we wanted.

A place thoroughly worth a stay.

I have just had a wonderful few days the Hotel Du Vin. I am a female business traveler and often away from home all around Europe. I look for hotels where I can relax and get peace to do some work in the evenings. This is also definitely hotel I would bring my Husband for a romantic getaway
I normally like the Hotel Du vin chain but this one seems to retain some of its old charm.
Some very nice touches, candles in the bathroom, lovely toiletries and fresh milk in the mini bar.

Great friendly service and free internet access in the rooms, I didn’t feel homesick at all.

If you like anonymous big hotel chains this probably isn't for you. But for a more Human touch you won’t be disappointed.
Only drawback was the lack of aircon ( not such a problem in Glasgow) But still my favorite hotel in Glasgow.

  • Liked — Lovely large Individual Bedrooms
  • Disliked — No aircon in room

My partner and myself have recently returned from a weekend stay at One Devonshire Gardens, we had read the reviews and where interested to discover if was in fact as good as it reputation, and the answer to that question is Yes without a doubt!

The room was spacious and beautifully decorated and it was easy to see that the hotel has recently had a lot of money spent on it. We paid £280 for the 2 nights, and while this may seem expensive, we thought it was worth every penny.

The staff could not have been nicer and catered to every request without fuss and with a smile, and the hotel has an atmosphere which instantly makes you feel at home.

We where so impressed by the hotel that we plan to marry their in summer 2009.

My wife and I have stayed fairly regularly at 1 devonshire over the past year. As our children are now at University in Glasgow, we had various weekends away. I need somewhere where I can unwind and we need a hotel that will take the dog. Over the winter, there had been major reconstruction work in progress with the building obscured by tarpaulin and scaffolding. We were quite concerned when the staff described what was happening to the new rooms, and at that time felt that what was being created would not fit the image. I am happy to relate that the new rooms are quirky, but really fit the hotel. The staff are really entheusiastic, and the quality of the accomodation remarkable. I feel they have taken a good idea and made it better. Despite my misgivings they have made this one work. Well done!
