Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“One of Europe’s great Victorian hotels built when train travel was a luxury, this hotel located within Glasgow’s historic train station deserves its name, as everything about it, from the magnificent marble-floor Champagne bar to the ballroom fully restored to its original glory, is grand.”

Lonely Planet review:

“This handsome Victorian hotel is part of the Central station: some rooms overlook the platforms. High ceilings, vast corridors stretching into the distance and a fabulous ballroom are highlights of this throwback to rail’s golden age.”

Telegraph review:

“A generally stylish hotel with direct access to Glasgow Central Station, making it a great base for short stays in this culturally rich city. The lobby is great for people-watching; sink into a deep, comfy armchair and watch guests going to and from the station, just next door.”

Would like to thank Ellie for giving us the best stay in a hotel we have ever had and just to say we will definitely be

Place was beautiful clean and staff were amazing!! I was staying for our first Valentine’s Day with my partner and it was also his first time in Scotland as he stays in Dublin, I emailed the hotel to make them aware of this and was upgraded room and they put petals on the bed and towel swans on the bed also a valentines quiz for us and drinks vouchers, honestly the best hotel I have stayed in Glasgow and I have stayed in a lot can’t recommend this anymore

A first class Hotel, with large bedrooms, clean and lots of ambience.

The close proximity to the main railway station and the city centre local buses and shopping centre. The room was huge with large beds and large windows to look out over the sky line. Breakfast was a vast choice of local dishes as well as continental on a help yourself basis, plenty to choose from.

The breakfast room was downstairs, and was rather cold, sitting near the entrance was very cold and only at the far end of the room was a source of heat which was limited in getting the room warm, Being downstairs felt a long way from the floors where the bedrooms where situated.

Love the location, staff and food and how handy it is.

The location and breakfast are fab and everything you could want to do is within easy reach.

The last 2 times we have stayed we’ve had to change rooms, first one was at the back of beyond and tiny so we paid another £40 to upgrade 😔 and the last time we upgraded at booking and still got a room at the very end of the cooridor and asked to change again but at least thuu it a time we had already paid for the upgrade! Feels like if u book through booking.com they give you their least attractive rooms ?

Generally good, but a couple of improvements are called for.

It's a comfortable hotel, right within the Station complex so that everything is on the doorstep. It is a beautiful building, lifts to all floors. Considering it's in the heart of Glasgow, you wouldn't really know it from how quiet the wide corridors are.

The Dining Room was extremely cold, the rooms themselves were just about warm and the hot water was not hot enough. There was noise from outside until around 12.30 am, I wasn't sure whether this was from inside or outside of the Hotel (it was a Friday night).

Beautiful building. Clean . Central. Totally recommend

Our room (218) was lovely . Looked out over the train station. Bed was super comfy . Very clean. Good room service. Great hot 🔥 shower . Right in the heart of the city for easy walking .

Obviously no parking , and the nearest parking is a bit of a walk lugging your suitcases. Obviously they can’t do anything about that . You get a discount on your parking though.

Nice room within a fantastic period building hotel within Glasgow's main train station

Nice, room, nice historical building, located in Central train station

I thought the breakfast was included in the price. Breakfast was pricey, could have wslked 200 meters & got breakfast for half the price. I'll know better next time.

Such a lovely room - so much space!

Super big room and a very comfy bed. Slept really well.

Not crazy about the shower set-up; it felt cramped, which was weird, given the generous proportions of the room.

Lovely hotel in the city centre all spruced up for Xmas

A lovely hotel in the city centre. Handy location for transport and shops. It was a little busy during my stay given that it was the Xmas season, but didn't really bother me much. The grand staircase was all spruced up and festive looking.

There was an issue that needed fixing and the staff were very slow to respond - but this was nothing major.

The area at night can be busy or not so busy. But it's what you can expect from a train station neighborhood.
