ABode, Glasgow

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

Nice location. Staff friendly & polite. Room very nice- stained glass window & high ceilings.

Bathroom let the room down a bit - shower screen wouldn’t stay in place we had to wedge a towel underneath to stop water spraying out. The shower head was very low I’m only 5ft 6 and had to bend my head to wash my hair underneath. High step into bath not great for those with mobility issues. Paid for booking via booking.com day before and when my friend who was catching a later train tried to check in she was charged for both rooms again by the hotel. Had to wait nearly a week on refund being processed by bank. Staff apologised for error but we had to cha up refund in morning as they had to await manager to approve- no communication from manager at all. One member of party had to leave to catch an early train at approx 7.45am and breakfast didn’t start til 8am so we asked on arrival if it was possible to have a grab bag for them to take with them as we had paid for breakfast. Differing opinions from staff one stated that yes no problem would be some fruit & croissant etc & coffee but ended up with a dry croissant only. Breakfast menu good but would have preferred buffet or being able to choose one item from fruit/cereal etc and a cooked item instead of just one item and toast/croissant. No brown sauce - in Scotland 🤦‍♀️.

Great staff location great

Mould on bathroom ceiling which we did not expect due to the price paid

Staff was very kind and helpful

Perfect location, walking distance to the train station and main attractions

The hotel is located very centrally with easy access to many areas. The room was very architectural and felt spacious, with high ceilings and three tall windows. The bedding was very comfortable. The hotel itself is a converted historical building with lovely architectural features. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and went out of their way to ensure a great stay.

The daily cleaning service was forgotten a couple of times, but they brought supplies.

Love the architecture and quirky decoration

Not sure

Clean and convenient. Lovely reception staff. Dealt with room problems quickly

Very small room. Cracked sink. Shower over bath that was hard to get in and out of due to placement of the toilet. Didn’t feel like 4star room.

Lovely charming hotel, great location, friendly staff.

It’s a beautiful building with lots of original features. The bed was very comfortable.

The bathroom was too small, the door wouldn’t close properly so no privacy while using the loo. The window didn’t open and although there was air conditioning it was very noisy and still stuffy. Very slow service at breakfast. It was as if they had never done it before

The rooms were clean and large with lovely high ceilings, the beds were so comfy. It was really quiet and we couldn't hear any traffic noise. The hotel is within walking distance of both Glasgow Central (20 mins) and Glasgow Queen St (15 mins) train stations. It is also close the plenty of bars and restaurants. Friendly staff and great breakfast. I would definitely stay here again

Was all ok until the staff member when we were checking out couldn’t work his computer and left us hanging at reception for a number of minutes knowing that we’d a taxi waiting outside.

Room and bed ecellent and very comfortable. Absolutely impressed with decor.

Expected Scottish breakfast.Requested Black pudding to be well done but not and eggs fried and soft but cooked well and were raw white. Could not eat breakfast like this.

Great location, fabulous choice for breakfast. Staff we're friendly & helpful.

Room could've been a bit more spacious.

Gorgeous building , perfectly located for all major city centre attractions, lovely breakfast. Staff are attentive and so accommodating. Beds were unbelievably comfortable. My daughter wants to know where to buy the mattress from.

Corridors had an overpowering smell of cigarette smoke, which filtered into bedroom and meant the room had a slight tinge of smoke that didn't leave even though the window was open the whole time. The outdoor window was open when we arrived and we had no one of closing this although we could close the sliding door. This meant the room was quite cool, and the shutters rattled in the night and there was some outdoor noise from the street in the early hours. Didn't mention these things as it was the middle of the night we we only stayed one night so not a huge issue for us.

Great staff, lovely old building

The bed was a bit uncomfortable.
