voco Grand Central, Glasgow
Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

I always enjoy staying here.
Central and comfortable.
The last time I stayed and booked for two beds it was actually 2 seperate beds, away from each other, now it's basically one big bed with 2 seperate mattresses.

There wasn't a great deal of choice of dinner food in the evening.

Enjoyed our stay and certainly would consider staying again
A great location, particularly if arriving or departing Glasgow by train. Fantastic breakfast with plenty of variety including vegetarian options. The room was great.
The bath was very difficult to climber into, as the shower was above the bath. This would not have suited a person with mobility challenges.

Staff at the hotel were exceptional. Beautiful building. Good food and wine! My original booking upgraded by the hotel and 2 free glasses of a drink of your choice offered too. Nothing was too much trouble

Iconic Glasgow setting
It's our go to place to stay in Glasgow. Perfect location, large rooms, friendly staff, wonderful cocktails and breakfast. It's iconic and we wouldn't want it to change.
Tiny details in our rooms on 4th floor that just needed attention but just minor maintenance and we let them know.

Fabulous
The staff were very friendly and the room was lovely and the central location for the city was perfect especially if you arrive by train, we didn't but the car park is also attached to the station and once you master the doors it's a short walk through the platforms to the hotel lobby. The breakfast is well stocked of everything you would expect and very nice .
This is very picky but one of the rooms next to us got up early and the noise from their shower was so loud it woke me and kept me awake, but did get me up early for breakfast 😁

Very well located, comfortable bed and friendly staff.

Good location, staff super friendly, excellent service. Loved that it was pet friendly at no extra cost and they very helpfully provided a dog bed, very close to all the local amenities. Very grand architecture inside, champagne bar has views over the station and the breakfast in the morning (buffet) was very good. Huge selection and all tasty. Made use of the room service also, fast delivery!

Can't think of anything!

Luxurious hotel in the very center of Glasgow
- central location - clean - safe - big room and a huge bathroom - access to meeting rooms when needed
- the parking garage is not directly at the hotel, which makes it a little less convenient, but the closest QPark is only 300m away

Beautiful hotel with excellent breakfast and convenient to public transportation
The breakfast was excellent, and the location at the train station was extremely convenient for me. My room was bigger, cleaner, and brighter than expected because I booked a single room and bed.
The wall in the bathroom was a little sonically thin and I could hear a neighboring conversation in the morning, but it did not bother me at all in my main bedroom. I had a quiet and restful night.
