Glasgow West End

A characterful 3-star independent hotel in Glasgow’s West End, set within a historic listed building close to the Botanic Gardens and Great Western Ro

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.
