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.”

Very good

Great location adjacent /in the central train station. This is a large, stately, old world feel hotel in remarkably good condition.

At check in we confirmed the exact room type we had booked. Staff agreed. Unfortunately, as we entered the room, we realized we’d not been given the upgraded room booked and paid for. To their credit they immediately provide us with the correct room type.

Very good in general. I would definitely stay again.

Very convenient, clean and very comfortable bed and bedding.

Loved the location of the hotel, near to a wide variety of beer, gin and whisky bars

Excellent location, right at Waverley station. Windows are thick that one doesn’t hear the trains.

Super long corridor to the rooms.

Fabulous

Location is perfect right next to station. The room felt comfortable and provided everything I needed and expected.

The bathroom could use a towel rail you can reach from the shower over bath or even a table next to the tub. As if I was any shorter I would have been able to reach it.

Fabulous

Great location at the heart of glasgow and direct access to train station.

Extending our stay for one more night was not possible and staff claimed there was not enough rooms and huge price difference. Went ton booking and there were plenty of rooms available and for same price. Staff should help and not complicate things.
