What can I say! We have just returned from a weekend stay at the Hilton and was very apprehensive after reading all the negative reviews on here, all I can say is - Wonderful! A large room , big comfy bed, absolutely spotless, best shower ever! . There was nothing I could fault. Our 2 night stay included our dinner on the first night in Minsky's - this was a real treat - large choice of starters, carvery (could have maybe done with roast chicken/turkey as a choice) and desserts to tempt anyone! Staff are all polite and helpful and any queries were answered promptly. Well worth the money we paid and we will definetly be visiting again in the very near future. If you are expecting the Ritz or Savoy type hotel then you will be disappointed but it is a very elegant, clean and well kept hotel and us, personally, would give it a definite 5 star rating!

Booked dinner bed and breakfast through the hilton website, arrived to room overlooking a roof. was told to choose from either minksys or camerons for dinner. As dinner was already incuded in price choose cameron resturant to my mistake as my partner and i waited ages for each course to arrive and there was only us and another couple! each course did not satisfy tried hard to enjoy but couldnt.No price was shown next to champagne thought this was part of the 'Valentine' menu later discovered each glass cost me £15 each. If i'd known that I would have enjoyed it more! My partner also recieved the wrong dish. After meal was told about a £20 allowance each that we had to pay which nobody told us about if i had known about this would have went to minskys which was £9.95 allowance even if we had'nt known about that at least there would have been a better chance of enjoying the meal. Was most annoyed went to speak to staff at reception who said they would sort it out but upon checking out recieved an £64 bill! Still paid for drinks at the end £31. The lesiure facilties was the best part of the experience.

Stayed in the Glasgow Hilton for two nights in February, to attend my daughter's wedding in the House for an Art lover.

On arrival the hotel is very welcoming, with a huge seating area in the foyer and with the added bonus of a bar. The reception staff were extremely pleasant and checked us in very promptly. We had a queen room, which consisted of a super king sized bed and a sofa bed for my 7 year old daughter. The room was very clean and more importantly (for me), the bathroom was spotless.

So many times, we have stayed in nice hotels and the bathrooms have let them down. Not this time. SPOTLESS.

The only complaint, although it maybe minor to some, was pretty huge to us, was the bed. SUPER SOFT. For those of you who are used to a very firm bed, as we are, this proved very uncomfortable and lead to two sleepless nights.

However, everything else was perfect. The restaurant was lovely and had a buffet style selection. We had a huge choice and there was something for everyone. Breakfast was along the same lines.

I must mention the in house hairdresser, who usually is closed on Mondays. However my daughter was getting married on the Monday and due to prior arrangement, the hairdresser very kindly opened up especially to do the bride's and bridesmaids hair. Thank you very much.

All in all, the Hilton Glasgow is a top class hotel and I would certainly recommend it to anyone. Had a wonderful time.

  • Liked — The large welcoming foyer with the added bonus of the Raffles bar

My husband and I stayed here for one Saturday night as a short break. I was really looking forward to staying in what is billed as a 5 star hotel. Compared to other 5 star hotels we've stayed in around the world I think this is probably a good 4 star. The room, although comfortable and clean, was average and had no wow factor. The one thing that is 5 * is the price of drink!
My husband used the leisure club and found the pool area to be a disappointment and the changing rooms small.
However, all the staff were pleasant and professional and the food package that we were on was above average albeit dinner was a buffet. The roast beef was superb and the breakfast was the best I've had in a while.
Basically, if you get a good rate this is a good base for a stay in Glasgow.

My wife and I stayed at the Glasgow Hilton in mid January. This is our second stay here. The hotel didn'y disappoint,

Our room was lovely, new, clean and generally very smart with a lovely marble bathroom and a good view of the City. The bed was very large and comfortable, although the tv set was rather tired. We tend to ask for a high floor as we are aware that the hotel is refurbished from the top down. Both times weve stayed on the seventeenth floor.

We ate at the buffet / Carvery as part of our package on the first night and the food was excellent, so much so that we tipped the chef. Portions are as large as you want them to be so you have to have a strong sense of will-power.

We also enjoyed the room service and thought it was reasonable value, although if you intend to eat in the evening be aware that the prices rise and the choice drops after 22.45hrs.

The staff were all reasonable but having just come from its sister hotel in Edinburgh (The Caledonian) they didnt seem as happy to see you as in Edinburgh. The concierge was anonymous and that disappointed a little.

All in all though its located well for the City centre and we think its a good quality hotel at affordable prices.
