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.”

Loved it!

Love the whole experience…free breakfast, quiet, great location, comfy room, helpful staff. The chandelier in the stairwell was amazing,. Will be going again.

If anything, the bathroom could use an update and better cleaning around the tub tiles.

Perfect place for a stop over in central Glasgow

Lovely room and a perfect nights sleep. Surprisingly quiet for a city centre location. Great value and helpful staff. We choose it because we wanted to bring our dog along - will definitely come again!

Parking is £15 for 24 hours - we just used the street overnight but had to remember to pay from 8am.

Fabulous

Mostly all of it

One of the lifts wasn’t working and the other was unpredictable. Sometimes working, sometimes not. Breakfast was served WAY downstairs which was unexpected as there is a dining room off the bar. Otherwise we had a very comfortable stay and we will definitely return.

Great comfy hotel in a perfect location

Location excellent and perfect for us as we had a party in the hotel. The next day we got a train back to London direct from underneath the hotel which was perfect. Rooms were nice - we had stayed before so knew this. Bar is very nice but can be very busy. I would stay here again as location great. Breakfast on second day was lovely and fresh

Room was very dark - would have been nice to have a brighter light for makeup/hair. Breakfast on first day was dry - I think it depends on what time you turn up.

Great place to stay for a weekend in Glasgow.

Fantastic breakfast, spacious room, great decor in the public areas. Loved the Champagne Bar!

The lighting in the room was very dim so it made it really hard to read in bed. Also it would have made it difficult for anyone with poor vision.

Comfortable stay in a nice hotel and great location

Nice helpful staff. They were very responsive when contacted. Comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Excellent location. Beautiful building. Spacious corridors.

There was only one lift functioning for the whole hotel ( which is large) so long waits sometimes. Our room was very cold when we arrived but the staff were helpful and brought heaters so it was fine.

Lovely characterful hotel, great location, friendly staff, good value.

The hotel had loads of character, really unique, loved the Champagne bar over looking the station. The room was big and comfortable.

The decor in bedroom and bathroom was a little bit tired, but nothing major.

Lovely old hotel

Great location, lovely breakfast, friendly staff

The lifts - one was out of order the whole time and the 2nd was so slow it was quicker to walk and we were on the 3rd floor ! Champagne bar (hotel bar) was ridiculously busy on Saturday evening - had to queue for ages to get served. A lot quieter on Sunday. Perhaps more staff needed for the busy times.

Worth the money.

Very friendly and professional staff at check in, I was offered an upgrade for a very reasonable price. My room was in a good position away from the main hallway, so it was very quiet and I had a great night's sleep. Very clean and a good shower.

One of the lifts was broken so it was quicker to walk up the stairs rather than wait in the queue for the only working lift. I was on the fourth floor so it was a bit of a trek to get to my room!

Defo would come back and maybe upgrade for a bigger room. Loved it despite the slight negative above

The room was gorgeous though a tad small Also a bit of a journey to the room but was worth the walk. Staff particularly Daniel in concierge wells so helpful

Only one elevator in operation. Wait time was a bit crazy. Being on the fifth floor didn’t help Also breakfast area a bit of a trek. However breakfast was gorgeous and staff very accommodating

My stay at this stunning hotel was so good I'll return again.

The room was fabulous and had all the facilities needed and more. The wee extras like the fizz, dressing gown and slippers were so welcome. The glass of prosecco in Champagne Central before going out was also a lovely courtesy extended to us as guests. I had asked that our room look out over the concourse and the position of the room was amazing, looking over the beautiful old station. There was no noise despite the concourse below being busy. The location in Glasgow and for travel was ideal. Utterly buzzing city!

Nothing really.
