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.”

The champagne bar
The chair in my room was too low to be able to comfortably watch out of the window. This was disappointing because I booked a room with a concourse view especially to sit and watch

We can do screen mirroring to the TV, which is sooo relaxing to lay on the bed and watch TV with the lights off.

Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you.
Everything was absolutely beautiful and the breakfast was superb. Fascinating history.
Trying to sort out the parking was a bit of a fiasco but mostly because of a closed road and a one way system.

it was a pleasant stay, but please improve of hospitality friendliness for the security guy at night
During our stay everything was so pleasant. the room and cleanliness and amenities too. The bed was so comfy and the front desk staff are helpful. What we love most is the perfect location in the centre of the city and located exactly the central station. Transportation is so easy.
One of the evening late night security bit upsetting when we ring the outside bell because we need to ring to get the front door open on late evening for security reason, but we need to wait for some time around 5 mins no one is opening the door, but then a security guy came and looked at us suspiciously and asked what you need? as if we are not a guest, i felt so offended, and we showed our keyroom and asked him to open the door because it was cold outside and we need to enter the building. But the way he looked at us less friendly made me felt offended, and one more guest who also waited with me had the same experience too the way the security guy seems watching in suspicious way like we weren't a respected guests of the hotel.

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.
