This is a pretty big branch of Debenhams that I always seem to get lost in. I'm not sure where all the lifts, escalators and stairs are but I'm sure they move every time I go in. I also think that there are at least two entrances and exits but there could easily be many more hidden away. Across the floors they have cosmetics and gifts, men and women's fashion and homewear, as well as a cafe, services for weddings, bra fittings and alterations, a travel money centre, a Clarins skin spa and, most importantly to me, a personal shopper service. This is why I go to Debenhams. I'm not good at shopping but they have a free personal shopping service. The personal shoppers aren't on comission, so there's no pressure to buy. You just tell them what you're shopping for (for example a general wardrobe update or a special occasion), and your sizes and colour preferences. They make you a cup of coffee and then wander out into the store to find things for you to try. You try them in your own private changing room and, if you decide you do want to buy something at the end of your session then you skip the queue when you go to pay for it. Sure, the rest is good too (except when you get lost) but this service alone makes Debenhams worth a visit for me. read more

I'm not much of a department store shopper - I tend to know what I want when I'm shopping, and browsing a huge store isn't really my style - all that walking and trying to navigate stress me out more than I'd like to admit. That being said, I actually really enjoyed having a relaxed wander around Debenhams this week. They were having an exclusive shopping night on Monday so the store was a lot quieter than it would normally be (and they were dishing out the complimentary fizz which is always nice). I think this store must have been done up a bit since last time I visited as it was a lot brighter and more slick than I remember. The beauty and perfume areas are particularly lovely. Some areas of the store seemed understocked or had less of a range than I'd expect - in children's toys there wasn't loads for kids under 1, and there was only one shelf of thick winter tights. On the other hand, there was a massive area for Baker by Ted Baker (kids clothing range) and loads of sheer tights. I'm not quite sure for the reasons behind these decisions, but just keep in mind that you might not be able to find everything you want here. Staff were happy and friendly, even while being subjected to hours of Christmas music. We did nearly get overcharged in one transaction but that's because their sale didn't technically start until the next day, and the sales assistant happily fixed it up without any fuss. Tip: With the 5p bag charge it might be worthwhile asking for their largest bag if you're buying a few items, rather than getting multiple smaller bags. Or bring your own! read more

I love Debenhams. I'm not the most fashionable dude walking the streets, but I am a big fan of John Rocha, Red Herring, Jasper Conran and Thomas Nash, all of which have a good selection in the mens department in here. They do have a lot of other stuff as well, but I consider it a clothes store first and foremost as opposed to John Lewis which has alot of homeware and stationary. It can be impossible to find the toilets in here and it's just as easy to get lost completely. When there is a sale on in Debenhams it's bedlam. read more

There are acres of this store that I've never seen. And never will. Like most other department stores, the greens are is crushed into one toty wee corner. With a little outpost in the a aftershave department. Some of the other reviews talk about being able to wander around here for hours, due to it being spread over 5/6 floors - the guys but can be casually perused within 10mins. Disappointing. Saying that, I'm a total ho for ties, and Debenhams has an awesome selection. And they do great sales. read more

Debenhams - Totally getting this tie soon! - Department Stores Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

I only ever seem to visit Debenhams around Christmas time. It's a one stop shop, with floors and floors of shopping, before dropping at the cafe situated on the first floor. This modest looking little cafe is actually quite impressive, serving up generous slices of cake and jam packed paninis, along with the usual offerings of soup, sandwiches, tea and coffee. What I found most odd was that I wasn't given a table number, but rather a big plastic square thing that buzzed when my order was ready - like a pager! Very fancy indeed. Now, on to the shopping. This is somewhere to make a day of it. Don't make the mistake of making it your last stop, as you'll never make it all the way through. Set out early, head here first and if you're Christmas shopping you're sure to find something for everyone on the many floors of fun, fashion and fabulousness. read more

They should really post a map in the centre of this gigantic Debenhams to prevent innocent souls from getting lost in the bowels of the huge labyrinth building. Once I was lost in here for hours and it was not a pleasant experience. For some reason, there is no ground floor and you have to come up an escalator from Argyle Street. This could be a bit inconvenient for people with prams and wheelchairs because the lift going up to the main shop is often out of order. On the first floor, there is the cosmetics which takes up the entire stretch of the central balcony. The clerks at the perfume counters are very eager to make a sale, so try and avoid this area when possible. The other room on this floor has women's clothing and an exit to the St Enoch centre. The second, third and fourth floors are all clothing floors, two allocated for womenswear and one for menswear. I only ever seem to use Debenhams for clothes if I am in a play, going to a school dance or going out for a fancy dinner because the clothes are quite pricey here. And they don't really stock sportswear, just endless rails of suits and trousers. The fifth floor has the kids clothing which always seems quite popular as there are often parents up on this floor thrusting t shirts and dresses and shorts upon their screaming kids that get dangerously close to the edge of the balcony. It is slightly inconvenient having kidswear on the top floor as the lifts get quite crowded with strollers at peak times. There is also the home department up on 5 which is a bit of a mixed bag. One half of the department seems to be cheap tatty junk that you will buy but never use and the other half is useful everyday items. The restaurant is located on the fifth floor too, and by the length of the queues it often has, it must be quite good. Some areas of the store look better than others, with the upper floors looking a bit more run down and tired compared to the gleaming perfume department down below. The toilets are also pretty yucky and are not in a convenient location. (Up on the top floor at the back) It takes up a huge chunk of Argyle Street and the St Enoch Centre and I'm surprised that I've actually found the end of the store because of how massive it really is! read more

I only ever really visit Debenhams, or other department stores for that matter, around this time of year. While some people hate the whole Christmas shopping thing, I actually find it quite good fun, and huge shops like this that sell everything under the sun are the most fun of all. Debenhams is a department store much in the same vein as Frasers amd John Lewis. It doesn't feel quite as posh as the other two but is still hardly cheap. It really comes into it's own about Christmas time as the toy section really goes to town. They also have a massive department selling the tat that's specifically bought as gifts, such as an alarm clock shaped like a football for your annoying brother in-law, or some bath salts for your gran that she won't use but will at least keep you on track for the inheritance. The above department is an absolute lifesaver at this time of year, providing good quality gifts that require little or no imagination on your part. One word of warning though, it can be very difficult to find your way back onto the street from in here, as there seems to be very few exit signs. Be prepared for a long and baffling trawl. read more

Debenhams - from official website - Department Stores Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

The breakfast as priced ok, and it filled the gap. £6.25 is not too much. My only moan is this, and coming from myself who is a chef. Their eggs. Was told must always be turned and cooked both sides. Resulting in no juicy eggs. I was told this was for safety. While in Scotland the minimum hot holding temperature is 63 degrees. I can assure you that the haggis I got was way below 63, and considering what haggis is made from, it makes that a high risk food too. So my advice to the manager who made these rules. Relax. Give us juicy eggs. As after all when you put eggs under the hot lamp they continue cooking, so if you over cook them, then the egg will be dead and dry. From a chef who knows what I'm talking about, and 24 years cooking, and it's friendly advice. read more

Debenhams is insanely hot. They should do something about that. I'm surprised there's not people fainting left right and centre all over the shop (see what I did there?) However, Debenhams is also quite handy, as it houses some ranges and companies that other places in Glasgow don't. Their make-up department is particularly good, as they carry Too Faced (vegan lipsticks ahoy!), and also Illamasqua (over 300 vegan products according to their website, hmm, but I get the Skin Base foundation which IS vegan). On approach, the Illamasqua ladies are truly terrifying. Their make up is... well, quite the niche look, they are walking works of art really, visually amazing, as well as being hugely intimidating. When you speak with them though, they are lovely and really helpful. Although once when I asked for a list of all their vegan products, the lady emailed me a list of all the non-vegan products, otherwise known as 'here's a list of all the things you can't have'. I also really appreciate that the Illamasqua people are really down to earth. On buying foundation recently, I asked how I should be applying it, as I typically just put it on with my fingers and hope for the best. Normally at this point, make-up artists try to sell you a fancy brush for muchos money. Not so here. The make-up artist said that I could use a brush if I wanted to, and showed me which one, but on agreeing with my opinion that when you do that, you seem to lose an awful lot of make up to the brush, she said 'yes that's true, you're really just better putting it on with your fingers'. Hallelujah! A store-based make-up artist who tells the truth! So off I swanned, quite happy with my foundation and knowledge that fingers are the bees knees when it comes to make-up application. Aside from make-up, occasionally I go to the women's wear department, as they have the usual high street brands in close proximity, which is handy when you're in a hurry and it's bucketing down outside. This normally is my place of last resort though, because the lighting is far too harsh, and the place is too hot. Did I mention it was too hot? The homeware department is also good for a browse at sale time, and I bought my lovely cutlery from Debenhams. So overall, Debenhams is a good all-rounder, with some nice things you can't get elsewhere. Just don't be wearing your big coat when you go. read more

This is a shop off the high street that always has inviting fashion windows making it very easy to walk in to check out the sales. I've been in this shop before and have always had amazing service. I was sent here from a competitor shop when searching for a dress. The last big purchase I made in fact, was for a black tie dress for new years eve and most recently my boyfriend and I were in search of some things for our flat. We didn't find anything this trip, but we'll be back because we're still in search of things. I love the styles this shop carries, and the various brands we are able to find. Its high end stuff but at reasonable prices. They have loads of great sales all the time and I love the over all feel of this shop. It has a magical feel, like its always the holidays. This place is laid out well with signs everywhere directing you where you're needing to go. They also have a travel agent area and a place where you can exchange money. My boyfriend had some leftover Euros from holiday that he wanted to switch back in to Pounds. Simple. Great department store with great things. read more

Oh dear god, this shouldn't even get a star rating at all!! All those who have seen trainspotting will remember the mankiest toilet in Scotland. Well it's actually on the 3rd floor in debenhams in Glasgow. These toilets always used to be spotless. There are a good few cubicles to chose from but I'd honestly say that only about 3 or 4 were actually clean enough to use. Used tissues littered the floor, toilets blocked, no toilet paper and utterly utterly filthy!! ( dry boak on the first 3 cubicles I looked in to ). I was with 3 other ladies so we just waited and used the one cubicle between us. Please please please, someone, anyone from debenhams, sort this out!!! No one wants to wander about this lovely store, look a lovely make up, try out new perfume samples maybe even shop for some lovely clothes then have a panic attack if they feel the need to use the loo. Disgusting!!!!! read more

The ladies at Debenhams have literally saved my life. I'm basing this review solely on the lingerie department, but they have. After years of going to Marks and Spencer for bra fittings, I got sick and tired of buying bras that don't really fit all that well, so I popped into Debenhams to get a fitting. What I was told has changed my life pretty much. I have been wearing completely the wrong bra size for years. The back was too big and the cup was too small, so thanks to Anne who finally found me a bra that fits me. Of course now, the only place I can go for bras is Debenhams because I have such a bizarre size. But they do cater brilliantly for ladies with a larger bust and it makes for a great alternative to Bravissimo where they are known to be rather sales driven and don't really care if your bra doesn't fit. Similarly it pointed out that Marks and Spencer do not train their fitting staff properly and it's no wonder so many women are wearing the wrong bra size. In addition, Debenhams is a wonderful place to wonder around. I got my S6 leavers dance dress in here, as well as a dress for a wedding. It's a great one-stop shop for EVERYTHING. read more

This review is based solely on the Lingerie Department. Since I discovered it a couple months ago, it has become my holy grail of bras. Yessir. My bra size is freakin hard to find, but in here they have a whole area dedicated to dd and above bras. And yes, with small back sizes. Yaaaay! They have my size. And in more than one style. Millions of styles in fact. Yes, they are pretty expensive, but what can you do? They have lovely brands like Freya, Panache and Ultimo. They also do fittings, which I havent had. (I was fitted in La Senza - go now and do it, ladies!) They have underwear for every occasion here so you can get everything you need under one roof. Amazing. read more

Given that it's only a few weeks until Christmas, most places are upping their prices rather than dropping them which is why I am so pleased with Debenhams this week - for three days they have up to 25% off in every department. Considering they stock so many of the high street stores as well as other more unusual boutiques, this is pretty good. It actually made me wish I had more girlies to buy for. I'm going back tomorrow to pick up some treats...for myself... read more

I do like Debenhams (I'm a sucker for beauty counters!) but this Debenhams - as much as I love it - drives me kind of insane. I don't know if it is just me (and I did get an A in Geography I'd like to add) but I forever get lost in this place! If someone stopped to ask my directions, I'd just mutter something and run away! Yep, that's how bad it is: I just can't seem to get to grips with this layout of this store! You can enter the store from a main entrance on Argyle Street or through St Enoch Shopping Centre which is handy depending on when you're coming from or want to go. At least I can manage that part/// What do I know? Well if you're looking for a good range of beauty and perfume counters you won;t be disappointed because this store has them in abundance! From Elemis, Clarins (they have their own facial spa treatment room), Benefit, Origins, Clinique...there are just too many to mention! And as I said: I do love a good beauty counter! Most are more willing to help and give you little samples to take away and try before you purchase. This is definitely my happy place. Perfume wise, I'm also a sucker for Debenhams. Although each time I get some random perfume shoved under my nose by a sales woman, I do think of that scene in Mr Bean where he's struggling to breathe and ends up on the floor with his tie over his nose, trying to escape the perfume counter! Haha! They have a great range of perfumes though and usually have some really good offers on. This isn't all this store has to offer. There are a variety of floors: Male Clothing, Female Clothing, Children's Clothing, Household & Electrical etc. Lifts and escalators are available. The female clothing floor offers a range of clothing from places like Topshop, Miss Selfridge etc. I don't come here often clothes shopping but now and again, it's not bad for a browse! There can be one or two coffee shops/cafes found inside but to be honest I've never tried them so can't really comment at the moment! Should this store come with a map? I definitely think I need one... read more

I do like Debanhams per se, but this store doesn't really do it for me. It always feels overcrowed, the building feels like it should be bigger and on more than a couple of occasions I've been unable to ask a sales assistant for advice/directions/a pair of shoes because they've been too busy gossiping. I did however see an advert today for Debanams advertising 25% of absolutely everything for a limited number of days. Yep- that'll entice me back. read more

I'm not a big fan of shopping so department stores that are based on early labyrinth designs are a complete no-no for me. An experienced shopper might find this to be a haven of quality goods found under one roof but, I guess it's all a bit confusing. In saying that, it's a brilliant place to come at Christmas for mum & dad gifts if you can somehow avoid the queues! read more

Debenhams - Department Stores Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

The shop is an absolute pain in the backside to get round, especially if when pushing a small person in a buggy. You need to go up stairs, or in a dodgy wee lift from Argyle Street to get to the ground floor of the shop. Then after walking round the ground floor it takes forever for the elevator to arrive to take you to the upper levels, so long last time I almost gave up except it had already taken me so long to get this far! The only part of the shop I go in for is the kitchen section, similar to other department stores, the usual flashy brands, however they often have some decent discounts. read more

Although the shop is pretty small and doesn't have the best layout if you are persistent then you will be able to find what you are looking for. As a girl who loves lingerie,and finds it difficult to find in her size,this shop as a massive selection and it is a reasonably priced and defo worth a visit whatever your size. read more

Really annoying to get around, too many escalators and you end up walking most of the shop to get anywhere. Saying that they do have a good choice of shops especially in the fashion section - includes Faith, Oasis, Topshop and Warehouse. They have a great underwear section with a good range for all sizes and occasions. If you are looking for something for a special occasion you can find loads of really nice dresses upstairs. They have toys and homeware too. read more

Possibly the most annoying department store to get around! Exhausted by the time you arrive at women's fashion! A huge maze of escalators which i always get electric shocks from! I wouldn't recommend for eating in either much better coffee shops in the area which don't have lots of people staring at you on the way up and downstairs! I would highly recommend this store for a dress for a special occasion because once you get round all the stairs you can usually find lovely dresses. Shoe dept is good also. read more

I like coming in here, you can shop in so many places without having to pay until the very end. What they need is more baskets everywhere so that you can do that! Like any department store, this shop has everything you need - clothes, shoes, make up, jewellery - everything! But there is also a cafe on the first level for a wee break if you need it. Unlike some other department store places like John Lewis and Debenhams, you don't feel like you're paying over the top for things either. I mean certainly they have expensive things, but they also have good price bits too. Its just a bit more affordable overall than other places. read more

I love this store and limit my visits because I have never come out empty handed! They have a great range of concessions & I particularly like the Designers at Debenhams range. I also like to wander up to the home department and usually manage to pick up another couple of bits & pieces. They also stock all the other things you would expect from a large department store such as menswear, kids, home, beauty. Can be a bit hectic at the weekend, I much prefer a mid week visit. read more

My (heavily pregnant) girlfriend and I ordered a table and chairs from this shambles of a company and were disgusted by the service so much so we had no choice but to cancel our order. First of all we were told the delivery would be made on Friday 29th April between 14:07-17:07 (fairly weird way to schedule a delivery) I took a day off work (unpaid) and sat waiting for the delivery to come. Around 1:30pm my girlfriend received a text saying they couldn't make it due to network issues and they would reschedule. We ordered these tables as we needed them for a family event that weekend!! Despite stating they would reschedule, my pregnant gf had to keep phoning (they wouldn't speak to me) only for Debenhams staff to pass the buck and just blame it on the delivery company. Who apparently still couldn't give us a new delivery time. The girl she spoke to said she would chase it up and get back to her. When my gf finally spoke to her she said "sorry the delivery company took a while to get back to me and then I had my lunch" I realise everyone needs a lunch break but cmon! My gf had said she was considering cancelling but we would wait to see if the delivery company could give us a time. The well fed employee just back refreshed from her lunch break came back and said "ive cancelled your order and will refund you" without us actually asking! Good business practice there guys! The lack of professionalism, customer service, urgency, common sense, manners and accountability shown by the member of staff she spoke to is a disgrace. You cannot just keep blaming the delivery company, they are contracted by Debenhams..the buck stops with you lot....glad you enjoyed your lunch though! We are now left with a couple of weeks to get a table sorted. This service has been terrible and I am sorry but a pregnant girl should be relaxing rather than having to deal with these absolute morons! read more

Debenhams is one of those places where you should be like "ooo", "ahh", "this is reassuring" and "I know him!", but too often it's "bah", "grr", "hmph" and "awh nawh, it's him!". I went in to the Argyle Street/ St Enoch centre (like, how many doors do you want? talk about confusing) branch recently to look for a very specific tie; not only was I unable to find any ties but when I did find what I thought was a customer service representative they barked at me! It was at that point I realised I was in pets at home and left promptly. read more

I finally found the fabulous pair of shoes I was looking for. unfortunately the zipper was broken so the marvellous lady called everywhere to find another pair of shoes . When the shoes were at the store she also gave me 10% discount!!! read more

A rather poorly laid out Debenhams without enough staff to keep the clothes well stocked or neatly arranged. Could be that Christmas time changes things, but I wasn't able to find anything I was looking for. read more

Marvellous range of clothing, accessories and homeware to suit all tastes and all budgets

Debenhams is probably the most age-friendly department store in Glasgow. That is to say, it doesn't discriminate between knickers for grannies, homewares for ladies, clothing for twenty-somethings, and the odd thing for teens. There are several areas in this Debenhams that serve their separate purposes. If you enter from inside the St Enoch centre, you'll come first to a section of shoes and accessories, most of which I find ignorable. But then - then - you come to the make-up stands! My qualms with this make-up concession area are two-fold: the layout, and the lighting. While there are plenty of great brands from which to choose (looking at you, Benefit, my darling), you might find you have to weave your way through, knocking over perfumes and scuttling around small children to make it to the other end of the gauntlet without being forced to buy something smelly. The lighting is that horrible strip artificial lighting - so I wouldn't recommend buying foundation here. The only place I can think of which doesn't have this problem is House of Fraser, which is a real shame. If you know what you're looking for, though, this is a good place to shop. The main middle section of the department store has all my favourite bits - the fashion concessions! These include shops like Topshop, Oasis, Warehouse, and so on. This is the area I tend to stick to. This Debenhams also has a great selection of dresses for prom-goers (or if you just feel like fancying yourself up!), and a behemoth lingerie section. Brilliant! read more

This shop is such a pain to get around. There seems to be an endless amount of escalators, i do not recommend looking round with a pushchair! They sell a variety of items e.g, toys, homeware and clothes. The dresses they sell are great for many occasions, it is worth a look :) read more

Debenhams is part of the St Enoch centre but they also have an entrance on Argyll St,it's a huge department store with around 5 levels.It has pretty much everything your looking for in a store.They have 2 levels for Womenswear,one for modern fashion and another level for more formal wear ..maybe catering that floor a wee bit more for the older ladies.They do a great range of ball gowns and dresses if you have a special occassion.The underwear section is also very good and it's the only place I can get Ultimo bra's apart from online.It has a restaurant/cafe and a coffee shop,both of which are very good but can be quite expensive for what your getting.Overall though a really good store. read more

Debenhams in St Enoch Centre can be accessed from within the centre, on the first floor or also via two entrances on Argyle St. Once you're inside, you realise that in fact it takes up a large part of the centre itself, with five floors. Everything you could possibly need is catered for, though the emphasis is largely on clothing. Their stock in the sales is excellent, as is there formal menswear on the first floor (there is no ground floor - except the entrances on Argyle St which simply open out onto escalators). There is also a Game store on the fifth floor. The instore restaurant is on the first floor in an atrium that is open to all floors, giving the store quite a nice feel. read more

This store is very easy to find however when you get in the store it is a whole different ball game! It is very hard to find your way around with all the different departments spread over many floors. However, they do have a lot of nice designer clothing, shoes, etc. I really like how the items are set out through the store, i always find t easy to get what im looking for. read more

I quite like this Debenhams it is accessable from Argyle Street or inside the St Enochs centre. it has a range of clothing for men and women as well as children. There are various levels accessed by lift or esculator and split into different shops. There is also a wedding department where you can hold your wedding list and you can go round the different departments choosing bedding, furniture, pots and pans etc. They also sell some lights and a variety of glasses and gifts. read more

Debenhams is a large department store attached to the St Enoch Centre in the city centre of glasgow. It is not on par with House of Fraser, but has more affordable fashion for all the family. In saying that, my boyfriend would never shop there as he thinks the mens section is a bit naff, so would say it is best for young/mid fashion for women which there is a lot more of on two floors. There is a large ladies underwear section - large as in plenty of choice not specifically for large ladies! I never really think of the homeware floors of Debenhams when I need stuff, so cant really comment on that side of things, but all in all worth a visit - especially when they have their special discount days for great bargains. read more

Ordered Christmas gift from Debenhams got confirmation later got notice ordered was cancelled asked for explanation as I contacted my Bank who assured me no request was made for payment still no explanation from Debenhams.Still waiting................. read more

I used the personal shopper facility today after being given a V.I.P. giftcard. I can't thank Lynsay enough for all her help and patience, and she has LOTS of patience. My friend and I enjoyed a treat in the restaurant and service with a smile springs to mind! Afterwards I had a makeover at the Clarins counter. Again, the service was excellent and the manager gave me lots of tips that I intend to put into practise. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day thanks to the efforts of the staff at Debenhams and look forward to my next visit. read more

Amazing store, Lovely to walk about as its an amazing building, the staff are amazingly helpful and very kind. Its a great place to shop and they pretty much have everything! read more

Went for a Bride Personnel Shopper 2 hour slot and was the worst mistake of my life. Has a very LGBT unfriendly staff member who made me feel horrible. Brought me dresses in Blues and Blacks as that was apparently my colour and when asked for a white dress basically said it would make me look faded and washed out with my skin tone. I would love them to say that to a straight woman! Aired my grievances with a Manager and went back and forth with emails offering me a visit back to the store with the same person - I think not!!! and offered a shop at my local store which was pointless as they don't do Bridal wear which is why I travelled to the Glasgow store in the first place. They didn't recognise that they were basically being Homophobic and totally missed the point of my complaint. Feel sorely let down by Debenhams. You would have thought as a massive company they would have offered to even send some Bridal dresses to my local store for me to try on for all the hardship they caused me but no! I think I will be purchasing my Bridal outfit elsewhere!!! read more
