My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was a bit cold even after requesting heating adjustments, and the noise from the lively taxi queue outside made it hard to rest. However, the service was outstanding, especially from the concierge and the gentleman serving breakfast. The location was perfect for shopping, dining, and transportation, although the view of the train station wasn't ideal. The dining options left something to be desired with limited choices and high prices for basic items.

The room I stayed in was a bit cold and faced the train station roof, which wasn't the most pleasant view. Despite requesting heating adjustments, it didn't make much of a difference. Also, the noise from the taxi queue opposite the room was disruptive, especially late into the night.

When I stayed at the hotel, I found that the location was excellent for my weekend plans, perfect for exploring Glasgow and conveniently located inside the train station. The rooms were noise-free and met my expectations, although they lacked some amenities. The service was a bit invasive at times but overall extremely helpful and friendly. The dining experience was a bit overpriced but offered good choices, while the facilities were adequate for my needs.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were lovely and very clean, and the breakfast was a good start to the day. However, there were some issues like a small room, a toilet that wouldn't flush, and a smelly bathroom. The lack of chilled water and cleanliness in the bar area were also noticeable drawbacks, making it feel like it wasn't quite worth the money.

Rooms
5.0
The room was very small, and we encountered issues like a non-flushing toilet and a smelly bathroom. Amenities were lacking, with only one towel and one bottle of shower gel provided. The tea making facilities had limited options, and there was a surprising request to lower the TV volume late at night. Additionally, there was a mix-up with our bag at reception, causing us to miss our train due to the delay in finding it, leading to a disappointing end to what was supposed to be a special occasion on our 10-year wedding anniversary. The room overlooked the street.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location is unbeatable for train travelers and provides easy access to Glasgow's nightlife and restaurants, but rooms facing the train station fell short of expectations. The service was friendly and welcoming, though some staff members seemed disinterested. The dining options were good, but distance to food could be a drawback. Overall, it is a convenient place to stay in Glasgow.

The hotel had a huge room with a table and chairs, the biggest bed ever, and a fabulous bathroom. It was very warm, but a bit of a distance from the lift. The service was outstanding, particularly the cocktail makers in the bar and Sean who provided great local knowledge. The location was convenient for train arrivals and dining options, despite some noise from a late-night party. The dining experience offered plenty of choices but was out of cheese at breakfast. The facilities were well-equipped and enjoyable.

The hotel is located in a grand old building, perfect for exploring Glasgow city center. The rooms were a bit small and old, with some broken furniture, but the cleanliness was up to high standards. Service was modern and clean throughout, with a special touch of an anniversary chocolate and champagne in the room. The dining experience was decent, with a normal buffet style, although it felt a bit overwhelming during busy times. The location is fantastic, especially if arriving by train, but parts of it look a bit dated.

I encountered some room issues during my stay, including a leak that required a middle-of-the-night relocation and a lack of hot water in room 407. However, upgrading to a superior room for an extra $30 was worth it. The room's location at the end of a long corridor was a downside.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a good size and very comfortable, but unfortunately, it was far too hot even with the radiator off. On the bright side, I was pleasantly surprised that the TV was cleverly hidden in the mirror. The service from the front door to the room cleaners was exceptional, going above and beyond for my friends who were on their honeymoon. The location was great, especially for anyone arriving by train as it's right by the station and convenient for exploring the city. The dining experience had its ups and downs; while the breakfast was excellent with a great selection, the wait time was quite long. Overall, my experience was memorable, with some room for improvement.

Upon arrival, the room had been cordoned off for years but opened up last minute, leaving us with just a bed to sleep in.
