It is in the central business district. Another option is to be on the west side of town--more tourist attractions. But Uber works great and is reasonable. The spa area (water areas) were closed when we went there, which was a main reason we picked this hotel. And, the spa has a very limited time for guests of the hotel if you don't want to pay. The breakfast buffet was very good. It is an elegant hotel. Reserve for breakfast ahead of time--it gets busy. They have a nice wine reception in the afternoon for guests.

Their spa was the highlight for us. Social hour from 4-5p in the lobby was great as well to mingle with other travelers while drinking for free! :-) Room was comfy with an amazing tub! Can’t recommend this hotel enough. I stay here every time I’m in Glasgow.

Great central location and staff were friendly - doorman David was particularly helpful and kind. The hotel is nicely designed though only minor downside was felt spa area could have been a bit better maintained e.g. cleanliness (tissue in pool) and corridors were a bit flooded and though hotels fault per se, people kept mixing up robes. The rooms are nice and spacious and the stocked complimentary mini bar was a nice touch. Although we never got the chance for the hotels drinks offer we heard about it plenty from other guests who enjoyed it. We did use the gym which is ok but one machine (stair stepper) did not work and worth noting there is no treadmill. Overall a comfortable stay

Absolute perfect hotel for a 2 night break in Glasgow. It was 5 minutes down the hill to the city centre so no need for taxis. The breakfast was lovely, staff were attentive and the jacuzzi bath looking into the bedroom was fab! Residents can use the spa early in the morning and between 5-8pm at night. It was good just putting on the dressing robe in the bedroom and heading to the spa without taking changing bags. Spa area was lovely and warm. Only minor negative was that a couple of the experience rooms in the spa area were out of order. All in all definitely a 5 star stay.

Beautiful hotel in a good location. Great restaurant with tasty dinner and breakfast. There was a big wetspot in the carpet in our room so that you got your feet wet every time you stepped in it. As a result there was a damp and foul odor in the room. I complained just after check in but nothing was done about it. Bed is comfortable and staff was friendly.

Lovely hotel but room was slightly tired and not as clean as we would have expected with dirty spills and stains on table legs and skirting boards beside the bed. Chipped woodwork etc in bathroom. We booked specially to take our baby in the pool having called in advance to check prior to confirming the booking but on arrival were told it wasn’t possible. The lady was lovely and apologetic offering a free round of drinks but it was really quite disappointing and meant we couldn’t use the spa/pool facilities as planned together instead having to take turns within the select hours available to hotel residents - also not as expected. It was supposed to be a bit of a treat and it just didn’t quite work out as I had envisaged. I used my hotels.com reward voucher towards it but had I paid the full rate I would have been pretty unhappy. Wonderful breakfast, beautiful decor throughout. Parking available nearby at a discounted rate. Approx £20 per day. Reception quite busy, had to call numerous times before someone answered. I think the hotel may have been busier than usual though. Staff all very friendly and professional. I would come back but I do think for the money there shouldn’t be any snags and the cleanliness should be tip top.

Have stayed before and loved it. This time very disappointed. Our carpet had the biggest dirty mark on it beside the bed which looked like sick or kebab stains. The ironing board was covered in goodness knows what and the fridge was warm. The biggest disappointment was the spa was far too hot we only stayed for 20mins. The pool was hotter than the hot tub and the room temperature was unbareble. Had a cold shower then had to leave.

The units were all sticky from night before glasses spilled drink . Spa fab but mobbed , left our robes with room key to come back to and someone lifted them so we had no robes no room keys so ye again back to reception that’s not a good set up everyone wearing same stuff! This must happen all the time

Room was very small, dark and a bit grubby. Was very noisy -constant humming noise even with everything switched off. Would benefit from a good clean in the bathroom to remove previous occupant footprints etc. A few areas looking quite tired. Service very friendly. Location good and bar/food good. This was a premium king - I hate to think what a smaller room would be like. Won’t be back.

Arrived and discovered it was £27 in Q car park to park for the night, check in was easy enough, room was on the top floor 509, carpet along the way was badly stained upon entering the room it appeared clean and nice, we found clumps of hair in the shower upon further inspection although supposed easily missed as the shower is very dark, speaking of the shower it either dribbled out or came out full blast, the complementary mini bar was empty? Not even a can of pop, breakfast - was beautiful well served and plenty of choice, lovely waiting staff. Sadly wouldn’t return for the price it was we were expecting so much more.

For the price its fairly overpriced to be fair. The cleanliness of the spa itself is poor the steam room is dirty most people walked back out. The headboard in the room looks like its never been dusted 🙄 The staff were exceptional top service.

I think this is the most expensive and supposedly best hotel in Glasgow. Located on beautiful Blythswood Square. Maybe we expected more. • The sheer curtain in the room was torn and tattered and tied to the rail with string. • The door to the the minibar cabinet fell off it's hinges. • The AC in the room was not working. Our room was between 75 and 80 degrees. They gave us a fan. This was December. • The mattress was so soft it was like sleeping in a hammock. • Overall a disappointment. Would not stay again.

Although the hotel itself is beautiful and located centrally, we found the staff to be abit hostile and unapproachable. At times we were made to feel uncomfortable around them without any reason. Other than that, the hotel was nice, room was big with a nice bathroom. Just expected the staff to be friendlier.

We’ve been coming here for years, and if I’m honest, the place had lost its magic for a while. But this visit completely restored it. We stayed for my partner’s 45th birthday and everything from start to finish was exceptional. The staff absolutely made the stay. Night concierge, front desk, room service… every single person went above and beyond. It reminded me that it’s the people who make a hotel special, and they were outstanding throughout. We left feeling genuinely looked after and excited to return. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back.

Booked the blythswood hotel as a treat for my partner and have been looking forward to it for months. Staff were very accommodating, the room was stunning and the spa was excellent. Service could have been slightly better. Ordered room service - they forgot items from our order. For breakfast the food wasn’t great - ordered poached eggs which when arrived were hard boiled. They then offered fresh eggs which took around 15 minutes to arrive. Ordered toast with our breakfast which arrived more than 3/4 of the way through our meal. It seemed as though there were issues at most tables which is a shame.

Lovely hotel, great spa, friendly and accommodating staff. the only reason for 4 stars was the breakfast both days was disappointing.

Overall my room was excellent, the staff at the door and reception were also very good. Sadly the on-site restaurant was disappointing, staff were very young and poorly trained, knew nothing about the menu and the food was mediocre, I’d suggest eating out in another restaurant.
