This is really an update. This was once The premier hotel of Glasgow, but fell on hard times and it showed.
It is being renovated at a pace maybe called a bit slow, but quality is improving.
Usually has rooms ready if you come early and call ahead- a real pleasure after an 8 hour flight. Its site claims irport pickup and drop off-does not occur and they should remove this from site.
When you check in if room is not to liking go immediately to desk and ask for another-some rooms are still very poor . Last trip we were sent down a long corridor, and I mean long with steps that made it hard with luggage and corridor was narrow-very. This was on floor five; despite window no real ventilation and very noisy. Got room changed and got a very nice one instead-just be polite at desk as they know there are problems. Walking along corridor rooms looked like a bomb went off on 5th floor or Jack Nicholson took an axe to doors-wife was ready to take an axe to me. But other room was very good.
It is a grand old place and sometime will be again so
I like to support it. Buffet breakfast is superb for any buffet at any hotel, but get it in room price as alone it is $25 itself -way too high. Staff getting much better-this trip was top notch. If you check out planning to come back they will hold excess baggage- a real plus!
If you have history at heart this is a great place-ignore older reviews-this is acceptable to all but anal retentive people and location is best in city-train station for central and south of city is part of hotel itself-no need to go outside and station has a big array of shops. Gregg's bakery next door is world's best! Trains to Edinburgh and north of city are at Queen Street Sttaion - a good 15 minute wlak, but taxi runs $4.25, or if you purchase ticket at Scot Rail section of station here, there is a free bus every 15 minutes to Queen Street.
A good place to stay and even on Frodays which seem to be Weelky Get Drunk dy especially for very noisy teenagers at most hotels this place stay quiet-nyone who has been in Glasgow can tell you yhis is a huge plus as even best of some hotels are horridly npiy weith drunks.
