This hotel truly is a hidden gem!

The rooms are lovely and comfortable with lots of little charming touches like the tartan tiles in the bathroom.

We booked a club room which was spacious and had a balcony that was great to sit on for a late evening drink or to have breakfast in the morning. Also with the club room we got access to the executive lounge on the 7th floor were they served complementary drinks between 4pm and 11pm. This was a great bonus as the lounge is a perfect setting in which to relax in after a long day of shopping.

The hotel is also perfectly located in the centre of Glasgow between Central and Queen St. station and a stone's throw away from George Square and the main shopping streets and arcades.

The restaurant on the 7th floor offers beautiful views of Glasgow's rooftops. The chef's prepare the food in front of you thanks to an open kitchen and i must admit although Im not a michellin star cook I was fascinated by their work which just enhanced our dining experience.
To my surprise the wine list is one of the best I have ever seen and yes I do like my wine!

The service in the whole hotel is just superb from the restaurant to the housekeeping girls, the staff are lovely, helpful, charming and nothing is ever too much for them.

Would go back in an instant.

I have stayed in many many hotels in the UK and abroad and have always reviewed my experiences in Trip Advisor. As such, I always have a look at the reviews of the hotels I'm considering booking. We all must remember that not all of us accept the same standards in accommodation and eating out, but I feel my expectations are of a high standard and this hotel ticked all my boxes. I booked a Club room on the 5th floor with balcony which was a fantastic choice as the weather was fab and we sat out for afternoon drinks and also breakfast which was served in the room.
The extra touches, i.e. the filled decanters, free mini bar, snacks and refreshments were a lovely touch, one which I've never seen in any other hotel. If that wasn't enough, free drinks were available in the Executive Lounge until 23.00 hrs.
The room was spacious and immaculate with bathrobes and slippers supplied. The staff were also helpful and pleasant.
Don't read the negative reviews, or if you do, don't be put off. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this hotel to anyone and will be back.
If you're looking for a health club and spa facilities then it is not the hotel for you. I was too busy on this visit to have time to enjoy these facilities, hence the reason I chose the Carlton George.
My only question to Duncan, the Manager would be that when I booked I was quoted £140 for Club Room with balcony. On departure I was charged £155. Jamie at reception couldn't offer an explanation as to the cost differential. He and the other female receptionist understood it to be £140 for all the Club Rooms whether they had a balcony or not.
Thanks to everyone who made my special occasion special.

I booked a one night stay at this hotel through a third party booking site and then regretted it! I then read so many bad reviews about the booking agent and then couldn't contact them by phone. I rang the hotel and spoke to Fiona, who was the most helpful hotel employee I have come across. She too tried calling the booking agent, with no luck, however she told me not to worry and she would try to check things out for me. True to her word, I received a call from the hotel saying everything was OK and I did have a room reserved.

On arrival at the hotel, we were checked in speedily and given our room key. Our room was on the first floor with a view on to side alleyway - no traffic noise. The room itself was spacious and decorated well. Everything you need for a short break was there - tea/cofee facilities, trouser-press, iron and ironing board, bathrobes and slippers and to top it all off, a complimentary mini bar.

We didn't have time to eat in the restaurant in the evening but did have breakfast. This was much he same as breakfasts in most hotels but we had views overlooking Glasgow's rooftops.

Given we didn't book directly with the Carlton George, we were so surprised to receive such great service when things seemed to be going wrong. Our experience in the hotel was very good and we will definitely be returning soon.

Well done Carlton George.

I arrived by train from London, the hotel is an easy walk from Central station. I returned via Edinburgh to London using Queen Street station which is nearly next door to the hotel (Laura Ashley is the shop next door!). I had the impression that the hotel was directly on George Square but it is a block or two away. (It’s closer to Buchanan Street.) The Hop-on-Hop-off sightseeing bus and the Tourist Information Center are at George Square - very handy. The hotel is in the middle of the shopping districts. I was in Glasgow two days, so took the Hop-on/off tour one day and walked/shopped the next.

My room was large with double bed, tv armoire (liquor cabinet), large desk, desk chair and comfortable reading chair. It was very clean. Also there was a large cupboard/closet near the bathroom. The tartan tile and shower curtain in the bathroom made it special I thought. Don’t often see that! In fact the lamp base and pillows had thistle designs which meant although not brand new, at least there was a decorator’s touch and not just generic hotel decor. My view was of the inner building. I had meals in the city, with the exception of breakfast at the hotel. It was a typical full Scottish breakfast at the restaurant on the 7th floor with a view of the city rooftops.

The staff was very polite. I was only a little disappointed at their lack of knowledge regarding the general hours of the shops along Buchanan Street. I had a pleasant stay and would return to the Carlton George.
