ABode, Glasgow

The room was fine. The weather was exceptionally hot and the air conditioning worked well. Beds very comfortable. The staff we met were all pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was good.

No fridge in the room. The mirror was placed over the coffee/ kettle area rather than the desk/make up area. The lift. It is one of those two door jobs and if the last occupier failed to close the gate properly the lift won’t work. The lighting in the lift was virtually non existent so the inadequate notice was hard to read. In fairness to the receptionists they seemed quite willing to run up three flights of stairs to sort things out. They usually caught up with me just after the first floor! Coffee and tea were only restocked after requesting. The coat hangers are useless.

Very traditional Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent

Nothing

Comfortable and clean

Room too hot and ac very poor and noisy so sadly slept less well

Fabulous room, very spacious. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend this hotel.

Nothing to dislike.

Comfy bed, great breakfast options for someone with food intolerances.

The shower temperature couldn't be adjusted and was too hot, so I couldn't have a proper wash. The room is looking a bit shabby.

Location breakfast

Room

Location..Good size room..Old fashioned lift...

Was a bit noisy

Great location (except in Low Emission Zone). Fun lift. Reception staff were really lovely and helpful especially Harri and Michaela.

No mention in details that it is in Low emission zone. This is very expensive in Glasgow if you have a diesel car. Air conditioning woke us in middle of night….. staff didn’t re-programme after previous guest. Staff did not replenish room supplies, coffee etc for second night, cold water tap ran warm. Breakfast coffee very weak.

The hotel was excellent clean and beautiful decor was kept to a modern but blended well with the age of the building. Breakfast was great and the staff attended to us very well.definitly recommend to anyone, was excellent.

The bed, it was far too soft, left my back, shoulders and hips sore. Especially when you're not as fit as you used to be lol

Very helpful responsive staff. Good breakfast

First room was very stuffy (and dusty). Staff moved us immediately into a better 2nd room. Could have done with a thorough clean

The location. It very close to city centre. The beds comfortable and fresh to cook breakfast. The night porter was friendly and helpful.

Rooms in need of renovation, bathroom was very small and poky. While breakfast was cooked to order there was no cereals, breads or other options available before having a cooked breakfast. The tables was missing spoons, forks/cups etc you had to go looking for it. Waiter told us on the first day he was very tired thought was a bit unprofessional of him to say that as we were paying customers. All tables around us not being cleared of dirty dishes left sitting & it wasn’t that busy.

Check in was very quick and friendly. The location was great.

The hotel is looking tired, breakfast was ok not the best quality of food.

After a long day of travel, I was so appreciative of the two friendly gentlemen who were at reception when I arrived late at night. The room was clean and super comfortable.

The room smelled a tad musty and the window didn't open, but everything was otherwise excellent.

Excellent front desk staff.

Location was good Comfy and clean

A bit dated in decor ..

Liked the building , the lift and the staff were good

The breakfast - very poor choice and took ages to come - not good quality at all

Property could do with an update, no clean towels on arrival, staff okay. Probably wouldn’t stay here again and try other options . Not great but okay.

Location and general overall appearance on property.

Comfy beds, welcoming staff, nice hotel, very clean

The uphill walk 😂

Room was wonderful. Staff delightful and friendly

Staff was helpful and friendly. It was located close to great restaurants and the subway. Easy to get around. The lobby and elevator was beautiful and a neat historical detail.

The entry hallway was a bit stuffy and we couldn’t get the a/c cold enough…but maybe was just us not operating it correctly.

Beautiful building, characterful. Lovely staff and a good bar.

Facilities were tired. Noisy rattling air con, broken ironing board and hanging doors.

Nice hotel. Clean and comfortable

Good location

Clean room, good location

Pillow stunk of smoke from a previous occupant. Access to parking.

Location

Very limited drinks at the bar - no beer/ lager and no plain tonic for the flavoured gins. The code for the key safe changed (I am pretty sure that I was not sent the new code so had to call to check). The restaurant was not open in the evenings.

Good location

Room very dated. Basement room. Poor value.

Could do with a refresh

Great location

We were given a room on the 3rd floor at the front of the hotel . Very noisy - street noise . There was mould on the ceiling in the bathroom and around the window .

Good service, friendly staff, good and quick food

N/A

Location, decor, quiet and the receptionist Halle, was friendly, warm, welcoming and professional.

Receptionist was a bit grumpy when luggage collected. The reception and general decor a bit tired, however I understand a fully refurbishment planned to address this.

I like the information it told me about the history of the building, staff on check in was friendly and chatty helpful with suggestions for where we should go. Bed very soft

The cleanliness could have been improved as we did find hair in the bed. Breakfast was disappointing, overcooked eggs, no butter and when I asked for additanol sauce it never arrived

Location, room, cleanliness and staff attentiveness.

Breakfast was a little disorganised - seemed the kitchen and the restaurant was understaffed on the days we attended.

Good location. Comfy bed. Polite staff. Breakfast was plentiful but tasteless. Good coffee, lovely waiters.

Noisy extractor fan that wouldn’t turn off. Noisy air con I did have control over. Very small room. Window didn’t open. Hot room.

Central location, cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff

Nothing.

Good location

The breakfast wasn't very hot! Coffee was awful. The staff didn't bother to clear the plates so the table was very cluttered! Light didn't work in the bathroom!

The staff are super friendly and the room was comfortable.

I was disappointed with the breakfast selection and that a 4* hotel doesn’t offer early check in or late checkout (paid of course)

Gorgeous building and comfortable room. Really unique hotel.

Breakfast service was slow but there were a lot of people.

The decor and style of property - novelty of the lift - staff very friendly and helpful - bed very comfortable

Didn’t like bathroom - sticky taps - no walk in shower - had to ask for 2nd towel in room. - breakfast cold - self serving area / bainmarie’s sit too high

A nice old building with some character.

No notice in or by the lift to tell people to close the inner concertina gate. If not closed lift won’t respond to the button to call it. I have a bad knee and our room was on the 3rd floor.

Great spot. A nice atmosphere with the original lift fittings. Breakfast was plentiful and waiting staff pleasant.

The bar charges London theatre prices . Don't use it - support a local bar instead.

Lovely place with history

The breakfast was chaotic. Tables weren’t cleared so queue for tables. Had to ask for hot food, plates, juices to be replaced as ran out. No tea, coffee or toast offered & had to ask. Arrived 5 mins after I had my breakfast.

I had a very nice room with good high ceilings. Not huge but not tiny, and it did not feel cramped. Nice big bathroom. Big, comfortable bed with good pillows. Decent shower although the shower head was a bit low for my liking. It feels like the hotel was comprehensively redone a few years ago but not much has been done since; there were some bits of peeling paint in the bedroom and bathroom, cracked grout in the bathroom etc. It's not a big deal but it did feel a bit tired.

Wifi was poor, hotel condition was a bit tired.

Character, very clean and very friendly staff

The prices were higher due to a concert, although we were there for Work, but I do understand that

Central location, easy to find and parking nearby. Hotel offered discount with parking too. Staff were well presented and friendly.

The cups, teaspoons and kettle were dirty with previous tea and milk unwashed. There were large stains on the side of the bed and whatever that was was also on the carpet. The handtowel rail came off the wall when using the handtowel to dry my hands

The room was big and very comfortable.

It is a dated hotel and needs maintenance to bring it back up to a modern hotel.

We were able to leave our bags until check in and had a drink at the Italian restaurant next door. The elaborate lift was an impressive historic feature of the building. We booked an 'enviable' room that came with a pull-out couch. The windows were enormous with a big windowsill. The bathroom was roomy and the bed very comfortable. Nearby Ottoman Coffeehouse is a great stop on the way to the Art Gallery

The pull-out couch wasn't fully ready and we had a long wait before a blanket was sent up. It also had a bent rod so one end sagged a bit. Letting the hotel know you plan to use it would be a good idea (we weren't sure so hadn't asked for it to be made ready.)

fantastic hotel with original features in a great location

the rooms were fine if not a little tired but the main problem was that they were absolutely boiling - they did have AC but it was very noisy

It’s a very central location, I would consider again depending on cost. The breakfast was great, staff lovely, some nice art work in the rooms, old fashioned elevator, and it was quite despite having many rooms. You definitely feel in a historic building.

The elevator was cute, but annoying because if the last person did not close the inner door you can’t call it down and that means a long walk to your room. The was a heat pump in the room, but no dehumidifier or air conditioning. I did find a more than reasonable amount of hair in the bath, bathroom and in the plughole.

Location good Staff friendly

Expensive breakfast

Good location. Friendly staff

Bit tired and room quite small

Beautiful old building/house with quirky details. The lift is absolutely a blast from the past. Rooms clean and comfortable and within easy walking distance from the Royal Concert hall. The staff attentive and friendly and breakfast was excellent

Nothing
