We stayed for 2 nights at the Menzies in Glasgow, taking the plunge in Glasgow instead of Edinburgh an occasional weekend retreat. Having followed the advice of an earlier review we found the cheapest rate was with flybe.com
The hotel is about 5 minutes walk along a wide and fairly busy road to the Central station and start of the city shopping and nightlife/restaurants. This area was ok but we much prefered the Merchants City where we found everything quite laid back yet busy, approx £4 in a taxi (excellent Russian restaurant). We have really warmed to Glasgow!
Anyway, back to Menzies the room was a good size and had a nice king size bed as well as a table and 2 armchairs. The leisure facilities are top notch and were not busy at all the whole weekend. There is also the opportunity to receive beauty/massage treatments which was our only BIG let down of a great weekend, we planned our day around both receiving a treatment later in the afternoon and when we returned to the hotel we were told there had been a double booking! A big disappointment but don't let this put you off a great hotel.

This week I stayed at this hotel for what should have been the whole week but due to the unforeseen nature of my business unfortunately my stay lasted only three nights.

I must say that I was very impressed indeed at the overall standards I found at this hotel . Everyone from the reception staff to the cleaners who cleaned my room (to an immaculate standard) were very friendly and welcoming.

The rooms were large, comfortable and well furnished. The en suite facilities were spacious with a good large bath and overhead power shower with water pressure such that it gave an excellent shower. Towels and a bathrobe were also supplied together with a selection of shampoos etc.

The beds were extremely comfortable with a good selection of pillows and cushions supplied. There was plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, and an iron & coffee and tea making facilities as well as a mini bar (£50 deposit to stock) are to be found in the room.

The television had a good range of channels although some of the satellite channels were not working during my stay. Add to this internet access available from the keyboard supplied and attached to the TV or via wi-fi on your own laptop and there's plenty to keep you entertained.

Breakfast was taken in the downstairs restaurant where you are shown to a table on arrival & your choice of coffee or tea and toast is brought to your table very quickly and efficiently. Thereafter it's help yourself buffet style with a good selection of fruit, cereals, juices etc on offer together with the usual cooked options. The restaurant is, as the rest of the hotel, immaculate and the service first class ! I didn't sample dinner but I have no doubt the food and service would be of a similar high standard. I'm booked to be back at this hotel next week for two weeks (work permitting) and may sample and report on dinner then.

Similarly, I didn't have a chance to try out the leisure facilities during my brief stay but hope to do so on my return.

I was originally going to stay at Jury's Hotel where my colleague was staying but I needed a hotel with car parking facilities and so chose this one. I am very glad that I did and found this gem of a hotel & whilst there's nothing at all wrong with Jury's, in comparing the two it's clear I made the right decision.

I had a quick drink with my colleague at one point in the hotel bar which is a great place to relax & he readily agreed that it was a very nice place to be !

I have no hesitation at all in recommending this hotel to anyone looking for somewhere pleasant to stay whether on business or for pleasure & I look forward to returning again next week for what will hopefully be a longer stay !

Booked an overnight for me and my wife as we were attending a party in town and got the kids watched for the night :-)

Service/Price/Breakfast/Cleanliness were all 10/10.

Would most certainly stay here again.

The only gripe would be the location isn't the best being in Anderston but the HiltonMarriot are in the same boat with the area. This area is 10 times better than it was years ago so it's a tiny gripe oh and £3.70ish for a bottle of Miller is a tad expensive but hey ho your not in Glasgow to have a night out in the hotel.

Overall 11/10

This is my second stay in a few months...and i will keep coming back!.Why? Because the management run a very efficient and welcoming hotel and so this becomes exceptionally great value for money. Staff are always helpful and have time to talk to you. The reception area draws you in with plenty of seating which extends into a ittle bar area which has a great 'buzz'. The rooms are always clean and well presented (ok, the courtesy bathrobes are tiny!). The pool and steam/sauna rooms are a real treat at the end of a day and again kept very clean. The highlight of a weekend here has to be the breakfast!! Excellent choice and great quality food (although it helps to get down there before the rush), served in a really well appointed eating area. The staff almost glide round serving guests,taking orders and keeping the tables free from debris.
Having stayed in several of the other 4/5 star hotels in town this is the one I come back to . It may not have the prettiest views but this area of Glasgow continues to gentrify. Menzies is really easy to drive to, the car park is secure and it's close enough to the town centre without all the late night noise! 'A wee treat!'

We visit Glasgow every January for the Celtic Connections festival and have stayed in several hotels in the city. This was the best - good value, efficient and friendly staff, great leisure centre, excellent clean quiet room. Didn't eat in the restaurant this time.
