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.”

This is a great hotel. Comfortable and well-located, particularly for anyone travelling by train.
The room was spacious and very comfortable. Great bathroom. The location was great - right in the railway station (although I never heard any trains) and very near to key areas I wanted to visit. I didn't eat much in the hotel but what I ate (breakfast) was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Unexpected modern grandeur
The style and grace of the hotel and staff enhances the old buildings character which provides a welcoming, comfortable, modern place to stay, right in the centre of Glasgow within the train station complex. It's very good!
We had a room overlooking the inside train departure area and the tannoy announcements can be heard when the room is quiet and you're ready for bed.

Huge, clean and confortable rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff, good selection at breakfast.
The pillows were a bit soft for my liking but thats a very small moan.

Such a lovely stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we even got a free room upgrade. Would definitely recommend!
The fire alarm went off around 12:30 a.m, so everyone had to go outside. It wasn’t the hotel’s fault, and the staff handled it very professionally and helped wherever they could.

Absolutely lovely, my 2nd stay and would stay again.
The authenticity of the inside to the outside.
Not much only thing I would say is the grout in the shower is getting a bit damp/mold.

Very enjoyable stay will definitely be back
This is our third time at the hotel, Dinner at night was very enjoyable and breakfast had a good selection, all the staff were very helpful
Could have done with a small handrail at side of shower for stepping out

Relaxing stay
Amazing stay at the Voco, we were looked after from check in abd cgeck out, room was amazing very grand.
24 October 2025
Very comfortable and an ideal location for central Glasgow and a quick visit to Edinburgh.
The common areas of the hotel - entrance, lobby, staircase - are all amazing. The room was good, although we had a view back onto the station (not much to look at, but quiet). The breakfast was very good.
The breakfast area itself is a little functional compared to the glamour of the entrance, staircase, etc. But look, the food was excellent, the staff were friendly, I'd only say that in next years budget planning put something in for tarting up the breakfast room.

It was a pleasant enough stay
Location room was certainly comfortable and had everything you needed … we were also given a free drink which was very lovely
The grouting in the shower was mouldy so it made the area feel grubby the staff we encountered were lovely but obviously busy so we felt a little rushed (particularly in reception)

The location is amazing, the Staff are friendly, knowledgable and helpful.
The decor really lets it down, such a stunning building is let down by the interior design.

Lovely, comfortable stay, would highly recommend for a stay in Glasgow as location is excellent.
Lovely hotel, always comfortable. Excellent location and great value for money.
The hairdryer was not great, could probably be doing with being replaced. Also some hooks to hang up jackets would be perfect instead of having to take up room in the wardrobe, which didn't have enough hangers anyway.

Great location and good sized rooms with comfy bed!
Location was great as we'd arrived by train and were hiring a car from nearby the next day. Our room on the 2nd floor looked down onto the station concourse which we found fascinating! The double glazing was great as we didn't hear a peep from the station. The mattress was so comfy my partner asked the receptionist if she knew the make (unfortunately she didn't). It was my birthday so we started our evening with a glass of fizz in the champagne bar.
