“Above and Beyond!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

My family and I stayed here for two days in early November 2012. The hotel was clean, the fitness center was great and the pool was enjoyed by my two year old. What really made this was the fact that we left our passports in the room safe and the staff were so accommodating in helping us retrieve them that they've won our business forever. Thanks Thistle!

“Conference weekend at the Thistle Glasgow”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Stayed for two nights while attending a conference held in the hotel. Can't say enough about the staff and how helpful and friendly they were throughout our stay. There was no table for our group at dinner on Saturday night but they set two tables very quickly and with no fuss. Great food, amazing breakfasts, very comfortable room. A very good hotel in a superb position just off Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow.

“Great Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We stayed here for 3 nights, as a base to explore the city. In a great location for shopping and eating etc. The room was lovely, very comfortable beds, took me a while to work out how to open the window and when I did got a huge daddy long-legs to the face. View wasn't great, but it was clean, comfortable, everything you'd expect from a hotel. The staff were friendly and the pool and steam room were brilliant!! The only thing I would say, is that the pool is part of the health club so is not only used by hotel guests, meaning sometimes it can get a bit busy. Through the day though we usually had the place to ourselves. Lovely hotel.

“Would stay again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Stayed for one night with my boyfriend in October, had a brilliant time.

Room was a bargain, bed massive and nice decor. Only thing was the shower curtain in the bathroom wasn't the cleanest! Used the swimming pool and sauna etc, perfect! Bar was quiet but reasonable and staff were very attentive.

Lifts are a bit slow in coming, they seem to forget the order but using the stairs was not a problem!

Location spot on! Wouldn't hesitate to book up again!

Dear Reviewer,

I am so pleased you had a brilliant time at the Thistle Glasgow, and you had the opportunity to enjoy the swimming pool and the sauna. The shower curtains are changed very regularly, sometimes even daily, and I am sorry you were disappointed with the appearance of yours. The hotel has a Guest Relations Manager available 24 hours a day, and I am sorry they were
not aware of your dissatisfaction and given the opportunity to ensure you were completely happy with your visit to our hotel. thank you for posting your review, and I hope to welcome you back soon! Kind Regards, Ewing Stewart, General Manager
