A characterful historic hotel beside Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis, offering a distinctive stay on the eastern edge of Glasgow city centre.

Cathedral House Hotel

We booked three rooms together for getting ready on my wedding day with friends etc. It included breakfast, which was supposed to be brought to the room. At 09.30 we were all starving so I had to run downstairs and bring some of breakfast, up all the winding stairs myself. Also breakfast wasn't great. We had stale soda bread, sour berries and yoghurt and muesli, which was not particularly nice. I also assumed we'd be provided with a few mors glasses for the family and friends who arrived but that didn't happen.

The rooms are lovely, really nice but service was not great, and on the stairs you could hear staff shouting, swearing and arguing.

On our return at night after getting married, we arrived back at the room, expecting a congragulations card or message but thers was nothing. Whereas when our mini-break honeymoon hotel in Oban found out we were just married, they gave us a cars and glasses and prosecco etc.

On our checkout we didn't see anybody and the whole stay actually felt quite impersonal and disappointing.

Not Central but fine for the East area of the city. Nice rooms. Very clean. Lovely restaurant and beautiful food. A quirky but enjoyable place to stay.

The room was cute and comfortable, with incredible views and an amazing bathroom. The design of everything is top notch. Breakfast was simple, but incredible and impeccably executed. I'm still thinking about the toast. And the bar downstairs is perfect. The owner was accommodating and just generally lovely. Highly recommend.

What a lovely hotel. Stayed for 1 night as we were going to a gig at the barony hall as part of the Celtic connections festival which was literally on the opposite side of the cathedral square. The room was immaculate and very beautiful. Had great views of the cathedral and over huge parts of Glasgow from the bedroom windows.
We had breakfast in the restaurant (celentanos)  wise was excellent. All ingredients were fresh and so delicious. My partner had forgotten to bring the charger for her iPhone and the phone    was running low on charge but Laura came to the rescue by giving us( borrow) her phone charger to allow the phone to get a decent charge to last the rest of our trip.
Highly recommend staying here, great location and will stay again.

We’re local to the area and went to try out the beautiful looking beer garden which had been newly refurbished and decorated. Although it has a lovely atmosphere the service could definitely be improved. They have implemented a one way system and also provide table service which is good, however, the table we were sat at clearly hadn’t been wiped and had rings and spills on it. We had one drink and would have had more if anyone had come round to the beer garden at any point (which I would have expected especially since it wasn’t busy). I feel this is a shame as it is a lovely place and we would be there regularly if the service was more attentive.

Number 10 Hotel

We just got married at Number 10 and it was perfect in every way! Heather was so accommodating, professional and easy to work with, making sure our day ran smoothly. We also want to thank the servers and bar staff as they were so friendly and welcoming to us and all our guests. The garden suite is beautiful for a summer ceremony, and there is plenty of room for guests to wander and mingle. I would highly recommend number 10 to anyone looking for an intimate but luxurious wedding venue in Glasgow - all our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how gorgeous it was!

This is a well appointed  hotel on Queens Drive Glasgow close to South sides  beautiful  Queens  park. Unfortunately my latest visit was for an after funeral gathering where the usual sausage rolls, sandwiches scones etc were served with tea and coffee. These occasions  are never more than  serviceable . I have been before for happier reasons like Whisky  tasting  evenings which can be fun as long as they dont become over indulgent
The hotel decor is very nice and food menu has all the expected  classics. One low point for myself  was that hotel  management  could not organise a taxi home for me. which i  needed cos i am partially disabled due to Arthritis.🥺 The hotel is very popular for various functions.

I stayed here in November 2025. Although it's a little away from the city centre, it was definitely worth it. After long and tiring days at the conference, coming back to the hotel in the evening and getting ready here every morning made it feel like home. It also reminded me of the student house I lived in while studying in Cardiff, which made my stay even more special.
I had only spent a short time in Glasgow during my trip to Scotland in 2013, so I didn't really get to know the city back then. This time, I really fell in love with Glasgow, and I think staying here was one of the reasons why.

Location is fantastic and loads of on street parking. My family had a section booked yesterday for my dad's wake. We arrived after the funeral for the booking at 2pm. Area wasnt ready and bar wasnt set up for us arriving. 30 of us were all sitting around waiting. The staff were running around like headless chickens trying to get the food out, bar set up and table water and glasses on the table. Felt that we were constantly hassling the young boy working there for glasses, table water and warm coffee. Didn't even get a coffee or even water. Got water from my car from earlier in the day.  Food was okay certainly not value for money though and service was extremely poor. Not a lot of food to go around everyone for the price paid.

Didn’t get much change from £400 for one night so was expecting something special. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case. We were put in a small attic room with a tiny shower room and the smallest tv we’ve seen in years.

The room was clean enough but in need of a bit of attention - paint touch ups, wardrobe door that didn’t shut. Kettle in room but no water unless you tried to fill up in small sink in bathroom. A bottle of water would’ve been preferable.

Noisy corridor and fire exit doors at top of the stairs. Could hear it swinging loudly whenever someone used it. Cleaner was knocking on doors at 0830 so we had to get up even though checkout wasn’t until 1100. Had thought breakfast was included in the price but told that would be extra.

All in all was left feeling as if the stay was not good value for money. Have stayed in a lot posher places for less than this hotel charged.

A stylish boutique stay in Glasgow’s Merchant City, with private rooms, apartments and social spaces designed for city breaks, couples, friends and so

Revolver Glasgow

I stayed in a private room with shared facilities. The room was modern, clean, and had everything I needed.

They provide earplugs, which you'll want, the proximity to the dance clubs is real! That's also what makes the location so good though. You're close to plenty of restaurants, clothing stores, and tourist attractions, all walkable.

The shared facilities were spotless and smelt good and I always had a hot shower, which I really appreciated.

But it's the service after my stay that I want to rave about. I left my AirPods in the bed (I'd been using them instead of the earplugs) and only realised once I'd reached my next destination. The staff found them, kept them safe, and even posted them on to me so I could get them back. Nothing was damaged or missing.

I'm so grateful and genuinely amazed at how they went above and beyond to help. Thank you!

Perfect hostel setup. Has lift, extra washrooms and shower at each floor. The dorm rooms have a small pantry  with cooking facility and drinking water. Unfortunately the bed I got wasn’t very clean (not fresh blanket and bedsheet)  hence reduced 1 star. There’s a small pool table and great sitting area.  Staff is great. Very welcoming and they treat everyone with respect. I wish I had booked this place for long instead of Safestay.

Staff was friendly and always around to help out. I can only speak for the second floor, as that’s where I stayed during my visit.

I stayed in a shared dorm which felt too small for the number of people accommodated. There was no ventilation in either the room or the bathroom, which made the stay quite uncomfortable. I can only imagine how unpleasant it must be during the summer months.

The mattresses could use replacing, as it felt like I was sleeping directly on the springs. The showers also need attention since there was no way to adjust the water temperature.

While there was some obvious noise coming from the nightclub, it was actually less disturbing than the constant noise from the hostel doors. Overall, I feel the hostel should invest in some improvements considering the price charged per night.

Useful for a one night stand as every hostel are. The hotel is modern, well équipes (plug on the cabin, lockers..), service is very good and it's clean.
But there is not enough toilet for each room (2 toilets for like 40 persons ?!), the hostel is next to a dancing bar with music not bad isolated but you hear it as well and the doors are like very loud which quite sad in a place where people sleep and come and go.

Otherwise and as every hostel, it's quite depending of the person you will be with in the room. For the price you may find some private room in hotels places evem at the city centre (Point A for example). It's really depend what you are looking for as it isn't a bad hostel and big up for the queer safe place it's important to mention.

Excellent location if you want to be in the center of Glasgow. Loud music vibe though until pretty late at night. Didn’t bother me.

Staff very friendly. Feels a bit more corporate than other hostels I’ve stayed at. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Could use more bathrooms but it was okay.

Overall good not great, but best option I found in Glasgow

YOTEL Glasgow

Stayed for 10 nights. The location of the hotel was very ideal as it was right near central station; making public transport more easier, all shops are near by and they’re popular as well. A nearby mall, St Enoch, with great shop choices there as well, and restaurants which are close by. The rooms we booked were 2 rooms, both basic ones. The bed is adjustable which was convinent for sitting and sleeping, the bed itself was comfortable. The room had a hair dryer, as well as an iron and iron board. The downside of the room is mainly the shower/washroom area, the toilet is separated from the shower, which is good. However, the shower itself doesn’t have a lock on it, and it’s not that spacious, making changing clothes an issue due to lack of space and privacy. The rooms air conditioning works very well, and I am very pleased with the lighting, there are lights behind the TV, and the restroom. I used the TV using chrome cast. The room has lots of storage space for suitcases, underneath the bed, 2 drawers for regular use, and a safe, overhead suitcase space, anywhere in the room, etc. The hotel breakfast was good, yet it could be improved with wider food choices. A few foods included in the breakfast were: cereal, fruits, croissants, spreads, coffee machine, yoghurt, etc. Overall, the hotel was great.

We stayed at this hotel for four nights in July and booked a family room with one king-size bed and a sofa bed. The room was much larger than I had expected. I loved the large TV and the tall windows, while my wife and daughter especially liked the huge mirrors. We all enjoyed the shower, which was clean and spacious.

The price was very reasonable, considering the hotel is just a five-minute walk from Glasgow Central Station. To be honest, you can occasionally hear some street noise at night because there are a few pubs nearby, but it wasn't a big issue for us.

The staff were all very polite and friendly. The hotel also offers a convenient self-service check-in and check-out system.

If I could suggest a couple of improvements, I would recommend providing more seating in the room and installing automatic curtains, which would make the stay even more comfortable.

It's also worth noting that there aren't many hotels in the area that offer family rooms, so this hotel really stands out. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would happily recommend it.

Nice clean room. Shower/toilet is pretty much see through and can hear everything. Hope you and your partner are close. Iron and hairdryer very handy. Comfy bed and adjustable for all those positions.

I paid £245 for a single night stay, a price clearly inflated due to a local concert. While I understand hotels adjust their rates during busy periods, I was disappointed by the lack of consideration shown for guest comfort and reassurance.

As a solo female traveller, I was allocated a room directly opposite a group of adult male refugees, with many more housed along the same corridor. While I appreciate that everyone needs somewhere to stay and the government probably paid the hotel to house them but placement and caution to your paying guests is also appreciated.

Given the premium price being charged, I would have expected the hotel to consider room allocation more carefully and to show greater awareness of how such arrangements might affect guests travelling alone. For a hotel willing to charge such high rates, I expected a much higher standard of customer care.

Very central location and easy to find. Has a bar called Vega on the top floor which has lovely food and cocktails too. The room we got had a very sad looking carpet covered in stains but the bed was very comfy, and the shower had two options to choose from a rain style and a regular hose type too. The shower is in view of the bedroom but it’s frosted glass that you can’t see through thankfully. The tv has a pretty purple/pink backlight. I didn’t see any streaming options on the tv so it was just tv channels and radio. There was a mini fridge but it felt kind of warm. The staff were lovely and the check in and out process is quick.

Yotel Glasgow

A bold, design-led hotel in Finnieston, bringing colourful rooms, rooftop drinks and a vibrant stay beside the SEC, OVO Hydro and River Clyde.

Radisson RED Glasgow

The hotel was centrally located. It had parking and luggage storage option. The breakfast menu was very good and the kitchen staff were refilling and very actively serving the guests. They all had smiles and it made a huge difference.
The hotel decore could have been better and the colour red incorporated softly in the theme.. The lift seemed too loud. Maybe it was designed for a younger generation.
Overall the hotel gets full marks for cleanliness and friendly staff. My room had a beautiful view on the 7th floor.

The bar has an amazing atmosphere—stylish, lively, and welcoming without ever feeling overwhelming. Love the ambience, the music and vibe here made my evening memorable and enjoyable.

Special mention to Eric who was very welcoming and professional. He was one of the highlights of my visit. I also liked his ear studs. He has good sense of style.

I would happily return and highly recommend both Eric and the bar to anyone looking for exceptional drinks, outstanding service and an enjoyable experience.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Radisson RED for an overnight date night, and it was our first time visiting. From the moment we booked, the experience was excellent. The website was easy to navigate, making the booking process quick and straightforward.

Our room was incredibly spacious, featuring a very comfortable king-size bed and stunning views overlooking the Rotunda, the OVO Hydro, and as far as the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The window seat was a particular highlight – I could have happily sat there for hours watching the world go by.

The room itself was beautifully decorated, with a modern and stylish feel throughout. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep.

Although we didn't make use of the restaurant for dinner or visit the Sky Bar, we did enjoy breakfast the following morning, and it was absolutely worth every penny. It was one of the best breakfast selections we've had in a very long time, with plenty of choice and high-quality food.

From start to finish, our stay was a 10/10 experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Radisson RED and would love to return again in the future.

Young woman at check in was really helpful, didn’t catch her name, very efficient and checked us in really quickly. Room was really clean and spacious & airy.  Tea & coffee making facilities in room.  Great size table and bench seating in room which is great if you want to sit and have a drink & chat.

Sky Bar was lovely with great views over the Clyde. Great cocktails from Lisa who was really friendly and helped out when I dropped a glass in the foyer. Gave us an ice bucket and a couple of champagne glasses for our room.  Thanks again Lisa,  you were great.

Really enjoyed our stay again in this fab hotel 😊

I had an excellent experience at the Radisson RED Sky Bar, and a big part of that was thanks to Eric. From the moment we arrived, he was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit.

Eric’s customer service was outstanding—he was knowledgeable, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. His positive attitude and genuine care for guests really stood out and made the experience even more enjoyable.

The Sky Bar itself was fantastic, but Eric’s service is what truly made the visit memorable. He’s a real credit to the Radisson RED team, and I would highly recommend the venue based on the service we received from him.

Ambassador Hotel

We stayed at the embassy apartments portion of the hotel, and it was such a lovely stay! The room was beautiful with big beautiful windows overlooking the botanical garden across the way. The bathroom was clean and updated, and the kitchen had all the amenities you would need for a short or longer stay. Location was perfect, situated in a quiet, walkable part of Glasgow with the city center only a short car ride away. The front office staff was so friendly and accommodating, and the morning breakfast had a great selection. Would highly recommend!

When we lived in town closeby we went past this hotel pretty much every single day, and as we wanted to go back to Glasgow for a visit we decided to try it out.

Neil at the reception was fantastic when we realised our arrival would be delayed and made sure we could get the key after check-in closed.

Room is very nice, clean and spacious. The service has been wonderful and with the wonderful glasgow-warmth we adore.

If there would be anything we would've liked to add it's a mini-fridge in the room and maybe a larger safe. Otherwise everything has been perfect for our wee trio.

Visited the Ambassador for 2 nights in May 2026 after staying here once for a short visit in Sept 2019. The access to the river walk and botanical gardens is ideal. The car park is, as mentioned in other reviews, quite small and first-come, first-served, but we got a spot and were appreciative of free parking in Glasgow. Neil and the other staff members were helpful, and the price is very reasonable for what you're getting. We did not eat breakfast here, so I cannot speak to that. The double room we were in (#13) was small, quiet, and clean enough on the surface; not to my preference, but tolerable for a short stay. The space was showing obvious signs of aging/wear; the carpet seemed grungy and needs replacing, the bathroom hand soap dispenser was broken, the walls were scuffed, window sill was dirty (it was warmer during our stay, so windows were open due to no A/C), and the curtains had some dirt/moldy spots on them, particularly near the bottom along the window sill where dampness may leak in. There is free Wi-Fi that can be used to find restaurants or get directions, but it is very slow/not strong enough for streaming or loading anything on social media. Our stay was short, so I didn't worry about communicating any concerns to management. Overall, for a quick stay in the West End near public transport and with free parking, this is a perfectly adequate and affordable option.

Perfect location for Glasgow’s West End & Botanical Gardens. Great transport links to the city & countryside, namely Ballough.
Staff extremely friendly and helpful.
I had a single room which was perfect for my 4-night stay, however more detail to cleaning, the skirting boards and bin, would have gained 5* from me.
Would I stay there again, most definitely.

Great hotel - clean, tidy rooms, friendly and helpful staff all makes for a lovely calm vibe. Great, quiet location, close to local amenities and doorstep access to beautiful path that runs alongside the River Kelvin further into the city. Can't fault it, will definietly be back :)

Royal West End Hotel

I had a really enjoyable stay here during my recent trip to Glasgow’s West End. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed for a relaxed stay—nothing over the top, but clean, cosy, and perfect for unwinding after a day exploring.

The location is the real standout. It’s an ideal base for discovering the West End, which is easily one of the most vibrant and charming parts of the city. You’re just a short stroll from the beautiful Glasgow Botanic Gardens and the ever-lively Kelvingrove Park, both of which are well worth visiting, the latter especially if you’re a dog person!!

Another huge bonus is the proximity “the clockwork orange”, Glasgow’s famed subway system, making it incredibly easy to get around the city quickly and efficiently, just try get a seat or get ready to hold on while it rockets from stop to stop, and don’t plan on any serious thinking as you’ll defo experience what the Scottish call the “shoogle”, essentially your brain rattling along in concert with the subway 🤣
Still highly recommended as a means to get around!!

On top of all that, the staff were genuinely warm, welcoming, and very helpful throughout my stay, which really made a difference.

Overall, a great spot if you’re looking for a comfortable stay in a fantastic location. I’d happily stay here again.

Location was fantastic lovely little hotel. Staff were fabulous hotel was clean, breakfast was good and loads of choice for breakfast. 24 hour reception was great as we stayed out a little later than planned on 2 nights.

Needed a convenient location to go to a gig at Oran Mor. This hotel was perfect with it being less than a 5 min walk away. As a solo female I wanted to feel safe as had not visited this area before. This place was perfect and I would visit / stay there again.

The room I had is perfect for one person , maybe two, reasonably priced and close to many things. I really did enjoy my stay. The man on duty at night is super helpful and very knowledgeable about sites in the area. Give this place a try.

Friendly staff when checking in at night and for room service.

The room we were initially assigned to was below ground and didn't look that great. We were then assigned to another room on a higher floor which was great. Heater wasn't the best as the room got pretty cold. However, both rooms were very clean.

Toilet was big enough for us, although the shower area might feel a bit cramped. No bathtubs in our rooms.

Breakfast was excellent value. Simple English breakfast spread but we were able to fill up.

Just to note, the hotel feels fairly old and therefore doesn't have a lift. You're gonna have to lug your luggage up and down the stairs.

Arthouse Glasgow

Staff are excellent. Unfortunately this freshly renovated hotel….within the last week…is very disappointing. The refurb has been basic and cheap. To be honest I would never have guessed it had just been modernised.
However staff are great, the location is good and the price is reasonable.

We loved our stay at the newly opened Arthouse hotel in Glasgow city centre!

The hotel is really central, very close to Glasgow restaurants, bars, shopping & nightlife!

The hotel reception is beautiful, as is the bar area, very relaxed, cozy & modern!

We were welcomed by 2 lovely ladies on reception, who gave us some good information!

We stayed in a loft room which was very spacious & modern, 10/10 for the air con especially during a stay this week. I’d actually stay in the hotel for this alone, it was bliss. The room had everything we needed, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner etc, also has a hairdryer which I love as means saves bringing 1 with me! You can also request various other items from reception.

The room had a lovely feel to it where you could relax in the room before heading out. We requested an ice bucket & wine glasses which Stevie kindly got very quickly for us. Thank you.

Celentanos restaurant is within the hotel which is ideal if don’t want to head out. We didn’t this time but would love to try it next time we stay!

A special mention to the manager Tom who welcomed us and ensured we had everything we needed.

A fantastic stay, we will definitely return soon!

Very lucky to have had the opportunity to stay at the newly opened & renovated Arthouse Hotel.
A gem in the heart of the city, close to many bars, restaurants, night life and shopping!!
Beautifully appointed rooms and amazing original building features retained. Comfortable bed and pillows and air con that was needed on a rare sunny day in Glasgow!!
Can't wait to come back and next time try the food at Celentano's

Great design with a beautiful renovation of a historical building. Excellent value for money. Celentano's is a unique and delicious culinary experience. Can't recommend this hotel enough! A truly special place in central Glasgow!

What an amazing hotel, the rooms make you feel like you are living in luxurious history, huge comfortable bed and the windows and light are amazing. The staff were friendly from the moment you walk through the door, nothing too much and with a mix of traditional and art deco styling plenty to look at. Great location in the city five minutes from the main railway station and at the start of Bath street where you have a varied choice of places to have a great night out. The restaurant in the hotel has already got a great reputation from its previous location of cathedral house, Celantinos is a casual high standard dining experience set in classic surroundings. When in Glasgow this is one of the must stay hotels.
