Saw reviews but decided to give this hotel a go. We arrived at the hotel to find it RIGHT in the heart of the city centre, with shops, restaurants and pubs all a stones throw away. The hotel is dated but location makes up for this (i believe a full refurbishemnt planned in 2007) .staff were friendly, helpfull and had a goodknowledge of local area. Room was compact but clean and shower was excellent. If you are looking for a room in the centre of Glasgow this hotel offers value for money and excellent service

The location is excellent, our room was small but clean - after all we were just sleeping there!

Breakfast was good.

This hotel is fine if you just want a place to sleep while you visit vibrant Glasgow.

I stay in Glasgow frequently on business and have stayed in many hotels. My business paid £69 per night to stay in what I thought was a quality chain of hotels. I was very surprised to see that the Ramada Jarvis Glasgow was the worst hotel that I have ever stayed in. The duvet was dirty and the decor was terrible with stained curtains and cheap mahogany furniture. It reminded me of a dodgy Blackpool B&B!! I lasted 15 minutes in my room then demanded my money back. Fortunately I got every penny back. The hotel is in an excellent location close to George Square but location is not everything in this instance. My room had an excellent view of a wall and a flashing light. I got a room with 2 single beds. I sat on the bed and felt I would have got better nights sleep in my car. How this hotel got a 3* rating is beyond me. Maybe they forgot to put a minus sign in front of the *.

No matter how cheap you find this hotel do not book it. The hotel is dirty and needs a lot of updating. Knocking it down would probably be the best way to sort it out. Glasgow is a great city and I enjoy my visits there with work. I would recommend the Marrriott and the Azzuro Hotel. Both are excellent.

Stayed here for 3 nights on a business trip. The room was very small and hot and the quality of the furnishing was very poor. The curtains were stained and the blanket on the bed had seen better days. The bed was very uncomfortable and obviously old as the mattress was lumpy.The whole room felt dingy and dirty. I felt that the hotel offered very poor value for money.
