This was my first stay in the '5*' Hilton in Glasgow. For this rating i was expecting first class standards and excellent facilities.
Hmmm, obviously i was expecting too much!
Lovely lobby area, however the welcome from the Front Desk left a lot to be desired, no eye contact, no friendliness at all. Although the lifts are adjacent to check in desk, in a new hotel its nice to have these little things pointed out.
The room was also very average, i can imagine the rates get very pricey here at times and id really grudge paying a lot for a room of this standard.
Room Service menu had been written on by previous occupants, minibar wasnt exactly clean and there was a strange sticky residue on top of the kettle (!?!)

One good point was the friendliness of the breakfast staff, they were all very nice and very helpful. Although it would be nice for them to bring toast to your table as well. You have to go to the machine and wait for it yourself.

Its not the best location either, you really need to get a taxi into town, unless you fancy walking around the back of the hotel, where its not exactly well lit and not a great sense of security!!

My stay was okay, but for the rating of this hotel i expected far more.

I stayed on business here a couple of times in 2003 (but it has now unfortunately been removed from the rosta for cheaper accomodation. ----!) The hotel is well appointed and decorated, but is admittedly very hard to find as others have mentioned (much wandering of dingy back streets searching in vain for the entrance in the dark - not good). The rooms are very nice and the room service is of a good standard. I never managed to get a good view - unless you find the M8 an area of outstanding natural beauty. To that end be warned - the hotel is pretty much surrounded by motorway and can be a bit noisy in the morning rush hour (and is essentially a tower block).
The lobby is very nice and the restaurants are fine but nothing special really. Overall recommended, especially for business travellers, but if you have the choice I'd go for something more authentically Scottish with a bit more character (and a bit more central).

Excellent Hotel! lovely to visit, plenty to do within the hotel! Fantastic City! busy but a place to go to! Fantastic Shops! Restaurant was great in the hotel and the service was very good! I left feeling relax and refreshed! thank you! :) We will visit more often!!!

I have stayed several times at the Glasgow Hilton and although naturally it is pricey, it is well worth the cost. The rooms are spacious, clean with a great big bathroom. Whatever you do though, don't touch the minibar, it'll end up costing more than the room!

Ask for a high storey and you'll get tremendous views right across Glasgow.
