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.”

Exceptional and extremely memorable. Can’t wait to return.

Everything. This is our new favourite hotel. We loved the decor, the room facilities, the bedding the bathroom, and the wonderful concourse view of the station. The staff were exceptional.. Very friendly and all very good at their jobs, we were made to feel super welcome. We honestly didn’t want to leave.

Would book again, fair price, great building!!

Nice building and rooms, staff were very helpful!

Had a King Suite, which was situated above the function hall, had to change rooms due to the noise! Staff were helpful, and received compensation, just check for any events going on!!

Wel’ll be back. So convenient and a great meeting place. Cannot speak highly enough.

Friendliness and welcoming staff. Especially Stephen in the champagne bar. An asset to the hotel. Goes above and beyond. Very pleasant young man. The Polish waitress at breakfast was super friendly and just a treat to speak to. Great personality. Breakfast was delicious and great choice.

Can’t think of anything!!!

Great Christmas stay at the Voco

I've stayed at the Voco in Glasgow a few times and always found it to be a great place to stay. It's right a Central Station, easy walking distance to all the great shops and restaurants. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfasts are great too. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing hotel and staff

Wow. I’m a bit late to review this one but all I can say are good things! We were here for a special occasion and the team at this hotel really came through with it! We felt so special the whole time and it really is one of those hotels you dread leaving at the end of your trip. And a special shout-out to the woman who checked us in and set our room up for us; Ashlyn, which is so funny because it’s my name too! She was so lovely and attentive and really helped make that stay that extra bit special, even going the extra mile to give us recommendations of places to go out to whilst we were there!

Room made it a very comfortable stay

Room was clean and well equipped. Unfortunately there was no literature to tell us about dining times or tv channels as remote didn’t work properly.

Lukewarm welcome when checking in. Ordered a Bloody Mary in Champagne Bar and they didn’t have some of the ingredients - middle of a city-REALLY?

Nice hotel in a great location. The room was spacious and catered for every need. Excellent buffet breakfast with a choice to suit practically anyone.

Only a minor point but the room was slightly cold and it was difficult to adjust the heating. This didn't spoil our stay though, as the bed was very comfortable.

Hotel bar street was excellent parking convient

Easy to park, easy to get out around Glasgow, friendly staff exceptional bedrooms for size privacy, cleanliness

Not like the process of parking, hotel should have own sign in to hotel The public outside we’re a little worrying as saw drunks, people taking injected drugs and vomiting in front of street access if hotel

Make sure staff are all trained to the same level

Location. Room.

Booked with Booking.com and as payment is either taken before or at Registration so therefore found it very embarrassing to be phoned several weeks later asking for payment. I had to check with bank for confirmation.

Overall, with a few tweaks, it would have been excellent

Very comfortable bed and lots of storage space.

There was a table with a mirror in a very dark corner and a table lamp to assist doing make-up would have been very much appreciated. There was nowhere in the bathroom to hang a towel to save laundering. The shower screen swung away from the bath, which meant the floor was constantly getting wet.

Very good

The whole look and feel of the hotel was great. Felt like stepping back in time a little bit.

THE PARKING SITUATION. I mean, I’m not surprised with any of the hotels in the big cities. But this one you have to park and walk through the train station. Not bad, just inconvenient.

Ideal situation, friendly staff, good food.

Last twice stays, problems with heating, the first time the instructions on the thermostat was so small, plus it wasn't explained properly, didn't realise how it worked until I was leaving. The last time, I couldn't get the heating above 16 degrees.

With all the staff being very professioal and helpful, we had very enjoyable stay.

The room was extremely spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was really good with an excellent selection offered. The location over Central Station could not have been better with all amenities being within easy walking distance.

nothing to dislike.

Fabulous hotel with incredible location and lovely staff. Will definitely stay here again.

Location was amazing as I got off train and hotel entrance was right there in the station! Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was great. Loved the champagne bar!

The only small thing was that there was no fridge in the room although they did bring one when I asked.

A grand old hotel fully modernised. Perfect location.

The staff at the Breakfast Room are exceptional. A great asset to the hotel

A small twin seater sofa in the room would be nice. The current seating is upright chairs.
