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.”

Stunning total with amazing staff, would happily stay here again.
The staff were absolutely wonderful, so kind and caring. I was sick and they sent me toast and tea both days as well as gave us a later check out so I could sleep longer. Mark, especially, was a standout. All staff we encountered though were terrific. We also woke up Christmas morning to a stocking filled with goodies outside our door. Such a lovely gesture! The hotel is beautiful and was decorated so stunningly for Christmas. Great location as well.
Parking is a bit far but manageable.

Lovely Hotel
The location & pet friendly.
Two black door men stood & watched as I struggled with my bags & how to figure out how to open main entrance door. Most Hotels, the door man holds the door open for customer with a smile & gives a warm welcome inside. This isn't the case in the Grand Central Hotel.

Great central location
Lovely rooms and comfortable beds right in the centre of the city. Breakfast was outstanding!
TVs in rooms were too small and too far away from the bed.

Perfect luxury treat for a Christmas shopping trip
Great central location for shopping and Glasgow amenities. Beautiful wide sweeping staircase preserved from Station Hotel days. Friendly and helpful staff.
Would have preferred a sofa rather than upright chairs in the suite lounge area.

12:00 check out was brilliant, beats feeling rushed in the morning.

Lovely old hotel. Perfect location. Reasonable value apart from excessive early check in charge

20 pounds for ‘early’ check in (an hour) was a ripoff when the room was clearly ready.

Fantastic staff, excellent location, great facilities
Building is located right inside the station, so no need to travel, from the train. The rooms are clean and modernised, despite the hotel being an older one (not in a bad way). The food is excellent and the staff are about as good as it gets. We will always stay here when in Glasgow

Great stay at voco Grand Central Glasgow
The ambience of the hotel was great - especially th pictures of previous guests on Floor 2. We loved walking up and down the impressive staircase.
The only negative was that the coffee machine in the breakfast room made very indifferent coffee, almost undrinkable!

Excellent stay and will definitely return .
Good size comfortable room with everything you need for an overnight stay . We opted to have the breakfast and weren’t disappointed it was excellent .All the staff were professional with a genuine warmth .
Both lifts had broken down and it was a long climb to the fifth floor !

Lovely hotel!
I liked the big bedroom and the comfy bed.

Great in-city location with a clean, large room with a comfortable bed.
Greeting by staff, room was large and clean, felt secure. Location was central and easily walkable.
It was quite busy with holiday parties, so getting through the hallways and into the elevators was a bit challenging. I would have liked having the option of the handheld shower to be the main showerhead (so attached via hook to the wall or vertical pipe higher up). I'm not a fan of rain shower heads.
