This is an interesting concoction. The hotel was, seemingly, renovated not too long ago and felt appropriately fresh. The décor has been described elsewhere as modern and even a major draw. For me it was as if someone had tried to recreate a psychedelic sixties Carnaby Street flavour and had chickened out halfway through. The somewhat lukewarm approach was nowhere more apparent than in the rooms. Cool and hip colour schemes mixed awkwardly with the left-over furnishings from the previous incarnation as an ordinary business hotel. Purples and whites clashed with dreary, standard-issue pine furniture that sadly survived the renovation.
However, as should have become clear, these points of negative criticism are all a matter of personal taste. What this should not do is prevent you from coming here. Admittedly, there are better places to stay at in Glasgow but you can do also much worse. Once again the star-rating of hotels showed its randomness and lack of meaning. Where Marks Hotel got its four-star rating from was difficult to see.
What is quite easy to find is that this establishment is five-star plus where staff are concerned. Friendly without being too relaxed, professional without being stuffy everyone will do their utmost to make one’s stay enjoyable – from reception through to bar and restaurant. The latter (One Ten Bar & Grill), by the way, is worth a visit even if you are not staying at the hotel. My steak was perfect, the creamy mash a silky-smooth affair and the before-mentioned service excellent. Wash that down with a Tempranillo and the world looks that important touch lovelier.
Conclusion: Glasgow is always a good place to be – and so is this. Look beyond the wallpaper (if it is not your thing) and you’ll find a hotel that makes people want to return. Alternatives might be the Carlton George for something cosier or the Hotel du Vin for sheer class. Otherwise you’ll have to try hard to go wrong here.

Have just returned from an overnight stay with 8 girlfriends at Mark's Hotel. The hotel had been recommended to me by a colleague and we were not disappointed. The reception area, bedrooms and all public areas are very clean with modern decor. All staff were pleasant and helpful. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant (One Ten Bar & Grill) and it was a lovely meal with great service. The hotel also has a nice, 'cosy' feeling yet modern bar serving great cocktails. The location is ideal for shopping, attractions and nightlife. I stay in Glasgow very regularly and have probably stayed in most of the city's hotels. Mark's Hotel is my favourite in terms of service, location, look and value for money - keep up the good work!

What a gorgeous hotel and reasonably priced! Stayed in December for a spot of xmas shopping, and the location of the hotel couldn't have been any better - 2 minutes walk to Sauchiehall St "The Oxford St. of Glasgow". The room was clean, contemporary and comfortable. The bar and restaurant were cosy, tasty food with a good selection to choose from in a relaxing ambience. Friendly service from both the reception and bar staff.

I would highly recommend this hotel, and I will be staying again in the future.

My husband & I stayed here for one night - to break our journey on the way to Skye for Christmas.

The main draw of this hotel for us was the modern interior design as depicted on their website.

The girl on reception was helpful & friendly.

Check in & check out were quick & easy.

The room was as it appears in the pics on the hotel website - spacious enough & warm.

The bathroom was fine - but didn't seem to as high standard as the room or communal areas. There was mould round the bath & the fixtures seemed cheap.

The bar was nice - good decor & lighting- we had a drink there before we went to bed.

Parked at the local shopping mall - which offers a special rate for Marks Hotel visitors (£8 per 24 hours). It's about ten minutes (gentle uphill) walk away.

Would recommend this hotel for a short city centre stay in a very central location. There are three beds in each room - so good for a weekend away with friends.

I would have like to spend more time exploring Glasgow - as it was my first visit - but on the surface, it is one of the dirtiest UK destinations I have ever been to.

The Marks Hotel has to have been one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were only ever treated as first rate clients who really mattered. The service was of the highest personal level and it was strikingly obvious that the greatest attention to detail was paid to everything about the place from the wallpaper to the restaurant and bar.

The room itself was very comfortable; the beds were fantastic; the phone bill was incredibly cheap; and the shower great.

The restaurant menu was exquisite with its excellent French influence, and I would certainly recommend the Ginger beer jelly with lager and lime sorbet dessert avidly - well, it's a culinary adventure not worth missing!

Even more exciting was the bar on New Year's day and the spontaneous cocktail-making skills of the very talented bartenders who rose to the challenge of a Suzie Surprise.

What I mean to say is that at this hotel, ask, and they shall deliver.
