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.”

Great hotel in a great location!
Very well located, comfortable bed and friendly staff.
The instructions to get from the parkade to the hotel were very unclear and it is quite far from the hotel.

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!

Lovely hotel in a great location
Check in was smooth and efficient, room was clean, warm and comfortable. Very quiet, no external noise at all. Comfy bed, nice toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was great. Hotel is in a fabulous location, right on the station with any number of eating places around.
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.

Great location and staff
Always go to this hotel as I feel at home there and it is in the best location. Staff are awesome, beds are extra comfy. Got a smaller than usual room this time which wasn't quite as nice to hang out it.

Another excellent visit.
The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The addition of the capacity to cast from your phone is also a boon. The staff were excellent, and the fact that Champagne Central is in the hotel too is also a boon.
This is not applicable-I loved everything.

It is s beautiful, historic hotel in a great location. The service was wonderful and the room was spacious.

Excellent location in the heart of Glasgow.
Staff were lovely. It’s a beautiful old traditional hotel in the heart of Glasgow, with a modern twist, loved all the little details. Even though it is next to Central Station it is very quiet. The sweeping stairs are amazing, we were on the 5th floor so if you want to get those steps in use the stairs, there is of course a lift too.
Nothing at all.

Cannot fault the voco Grand Central.
voco Grand Central is always our first choice of hotel when we come to Glasgow. Straight off the train cross the concourse and you are there. A visit to the champagne bar is a must do!!

Lively stay
Brilliant central location at Glasgow Central Station. Friendly attentive staff. Rooms were modern and clean. Good hearty breakfast.
8 April 2025
A brilliant break for us, in a fantastic city, and an exemplary hotel. Thank you.
Very friendly, professional staff. Clean, bright and tastefully decorated room and fantastic choice at breakfast.
With regard to the bathroom in our room (339) the plugs in both bath and sink didn't house properly in their respective plug holes, so having a bath instead of a shower wasn't an option. While this wasn't really an issue for either of us, it might prove so for other guests. Having a shave, however, was a bit more annoying as turning the tap on and off in order to save water, just to rinse my blade got a bit repetitive. Just little things, I know, but it's often the little things that make a difference to a good day and a great one.

Would stay again, centrally located in the old section of Glasgow.
The room was great, clean and roomy. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. The biggest surprise was the breakfast, which is extra but worth every penny. The location is above the metro but you cannot hear any noise and even know that you are on top of the station.
The parking is in another garage and is discounted, but it is a short walk to the hotel. It's easy to get to, when you put in the location in GPS before you arrive.

Great hotel although slightly disappointed in room / decor, we weren't blown away as expected.
Hotel location and having wanted to stay at the hotel for some time.
I think beer selection could perhaps be more varied, otherwise was pretty decent during our stay.
