Spent bank holiday weekend in Glasgow staying at this hotel. At first glance, I wasnt impressed by the huge fronted architecture of this hotel, however my stay here really grew on me. Staff were welcoming and efficent. My husband and I had booked a business room and was excellent. Decor was Nordic very minimal, clean lines and modern. Excellent room facilities and very quiet in the evening. In fact I was looking forward to relaxing in the room after our daily exploration of the city! As mentioned by many reviewers, the breakfast was excellent. Perfect variety buffet for those who want a light breakfast to full on cooked breakfast. I was impressed by the fact that breakfast time was extended on Sundays for people to have a lie-in instead of having to dash in for breakfast ending at 11am they extended it to 1pm! Nice one. All in all, I would stay here again, it made my weekend very enjoyable.

Thanks for the feedback!

I agree, the architectural statement can be a bit of a shock at first but the developers' brief to Glaswegian architects Murray + Dunlop was to create something that will stand out, not just another box of the hotel. They've certainly done that and have been recognised with a host of awards for the project including Best New Hotel at the European Hotel Design Awards.

We'll continuing doing the late breakfast on Sundays. Our approach is we all like a lie-in so why take that away from you just because you want some breakfast? You make the rules, not us ...

Regards

Locating the hotel using Mapquest from the airport we discovered 2 Argyle streets in Glasgow as we searched in vain for the hotel on the wrong Argyle street.Safer to get directions using route planners to Central station which is across the road from the hotel. This is a modern hotel in design but has fabulously comfortable rooms that are bright and airy with excellent airconditioning which was very necessary on the weekend we were there. Although located at a busy intersection with floor to ceiling windows in the rooms, they were nonetheless quiet. Car parking is available across the street in the NCP 24 hour car park. Hotel reception will code your ticket so you can get parking for just £5 a day a big saving on the listed prices. The reception staff were excellent, naturally friendly and willing to help - thank you Lesley. A casual enquiry at reception about church times resulted in an answer that was unsure. We left it at that and couldn,t believe a phone call the next morning giving precise details and location.That was customer service at it's best. The buffet breakfast would set anyone up for the rest of the day with no need to eat until evening in our case.Overall the hotel and particularly the reception staff were excellent.

Many thanks for the very kind comments - Lesley's absolutely delighted!

To address a couple of these points, we do have a location map available at the hotel which we will be happy to e-mail or fax as some map finding services can be a bit erratic for us. I also find [--] to be a good route finder but, failing that, give us a call and we'll guide you in.

As well as the NCP car park, we also operate a valet parking service. Just follow the brown tourism signs for the hotel, pull in at the front door and let us have the keys.

Just give me a shout if you need any more specific information about the hotel.

I stayed in the hotel for the final three nights of my vacation that had begun in the Scottish Highlands for a walking tour. I booked with the Radisson on-line opting for the internet rate that included all taxes, service and breakfast. Although these special rates can be good on the pocket, you never know about the room you might get, or what constitutes breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the hotel, and the room. I wanted a small bit of luxury following my walking tour and I got it. The room was well-fitted and very comfortable and generally quiet (and you've got to love the heated bathroom floors). The breakfast buffet was excellent and I remarked on this each morning. The location is superb. I had arrived from the Highlands into Glasgow via the Queen Street Station and there is a bus (one pound twenty vs. a much more expensive, though very short, taxi ride) to Central Station, which is across from the hotel. Walking and exploring the area is easy and safe (although I wouldn't know about late in the evening). Finally, the quality of room service, for dinner, is also excellent and it is refreshing to find that there are no added fees to the menu prices and you're simply required to tip the person who delivers it. With all the glory I'm bestowing on this hotel, I will also note two detractors: If there is a wedding or celebration being held in the ballroom, beware, since I could hear the music thumping in room 522 and evidently some of the party's guests were in rooms near mine. These were small interruptions and only one night - it was otherwise very quiet. The second is that huge bus tours book this hotel (e.g. Trafalgar, Globus) and probably because the hotel is big and similar to U.S. quality. I'm extremely proud of being American, but I don't go abroad to vacation in the midst of throngs of my countrymen. I was aware this might happen in a Radisson and was mildly amused while people watching from the lobby bar. So, with all this said, I cannot compare the hotel to other Glasgow hotels, but don't think I'd need to book elsewhere if I returned again for a visit. Cheers!

We flew to Scotland from the US in July 2005. The Glasgow SAS was our first hotel and we could not have made a better choice. This is definately the hotel-of-choice for Glasgow. The room was very quiet and extremely clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable (we woke up at 11 am- I haven't slept that many hours in years!!!) The hotel staff was exceptional. I wish I had written down the name of the bellman so I could specifically thank him. He was unbelievably helpful and kind. Everyone we came in contact with bent-over-backwards to make sure our stay perfect. We walked all over Glasgow that night to find a restaurant and ended up back at the hotel. "Thank Goodness" because our meal was fantastic! The dishes were extremely tasty. The menu was a perfect mix of tried-and- true favorites combined with some new tastes we had yet explore. The presentation of every course was fabulous. It was a quiet, relaxing and smoke-free environment that was just exactly what we needed. In the future we will definately stay our first 1-2 nights at the Glasgow SAS to rest and get over the jet-lag before we venture into the rest of the country. It was the perfect way for 2 very road-weary travelers to start their vacation. Prior to embarking on our trip we had rcd many warnings about the quality of the hotels in this part of the country. Our experience at this hotel could not have been more perfect. My husband and I are both Platinum status with Marriott and Diamond status with Hilton. In other words, we sleep in hotels more often than we do our own bed! This hotel surpassed all of our expectations. To all of the staff, Thank you very, very much. You are a gem!!! Kelly & Mike

It's not often I would give anything 5/5 but the Radisson Glasgow is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at.
From arriving at the hotel, which is close to shopping areas and also Glasgow Central (p.s. trains to Edinburgh go from Queen St. Station) I was impressed.
The hotel lobby looks very impressive, with a glass frontage and glass elevators. The receptionist at check in was very friendly, and showed me pictures of the types of room on offer, there are three themes to choose from, Nordic, Modern and City. This set the scene for a great stay. The room was very modern and generally excellent. I got a double room on the top floor with a view over the city through the glass window which extended from wall to wall.
The room itself was very clean, well air conditioned and excellently designed. It had everything I needed, and when I realised I'd forgotten my toothbrush one was brought up within minutes.
I had a great stay at the Radisson Glasgow, if only all hotels could be this good!
