    It can be really difficult when you are not familiar with an area to try and pick a centrally located hotel. We went back and forth a few times switching where we were going to stay, but Novotel seemed to be the best fit for the few sights and less than 24 hour time frame we had to see stuff. After traveling for about 14 hours straight and no sleep, when we finally arrived in Glasgow the only thing we wanted was a nap! We prayed that when we got to the hotel a room would be ready to check into since we were exhausted. It was only 12:30 pm so I wasn't sure if that would be possible. When we arrived, the gentleman who greeted us was very nice. They did have a room available which made me want to jump with glee. They have a few lifts to take you up to your room, but keep in mind nothing in Europe is as big as things in the states so the spaces are more limited. When checking out in the morning at the hotels, everyone is trying to go down with their luggage and the space is limited in the elevator. When we got to our room, we noticed housekeeping was on the same floor cleaning. There were about three people. We tried to get comfy to lay down for our nap we so desperately needed, but the housekeeping team were yelling back and forth to each other and being extremely loud on the floor. It was pretty ridiculous actually. They were speaking in another language very loudly. My anxiety shot right through the roof, because there is nothing worse than having no sleep and being desperate to get some. We didn't last long in the room as I was about to have a melt down. We got up and had to get out of there so we ended up doing a little sight seeing. The fresh air helped wake us up, but we were in rare form. I've never witnessed anything like that from housekeeping before. Normally, there are several people cleaning, but they have their own carts and clean independently. The noise continued even from guests on the floor obnoxiously knocking and yelling down the hall. It was plain rude. The bed and pillow in the room were also awful. They were extremely hard and uncomfortable which for me is a huge problem as I have a neck injury I suffer from. When we had arrived the day before, the man who checked up in told us we could add breakfast to our room for 10 pounds each, otherwise, the next day it would be 39.95. That sounded a little high and crazy. We did add it, but the next day in the dining room we saw the price was 19 pounds and change. I'm not sure if we heard him wrong, or he said it wrong but my husband heard what I heard too. The breakfast was decent. Different pastries/bread, cereals and milk, eggs, sausage, bacon, beans, tomatoes, and some other items. We didn't really have the energy to get up and walk around looking for somewhere to eat so this worked for us. The ladies in the dining room were very kind and helpful. I saw one in particular make a little girls day. It was very sweet. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.

    during my trip to scotland this was my second time staying at a novotel hotel. my first novotel hotel was in edinburgh and i have to say, between the two this location is my favorite. Staff are super nice. very accommodating. i loved that there is a small play area for the kids to play in the lobby area. everything was very clean. the room was spacious and maid was super thoughtful. brought extra blankets for the sofa bed. if they know that you will need a sofa bed they will prepare it with linens and pillows. no complaints about my stay. tips: *Free breakfast. *Free stuff animals for the small kiddos. *Free WiFi. *They got sofa bed. *Do charge for parking. *15 mins Walking distance shopping/dining areas. *Premium rooms have a fridge. *provides an electric water kettle *restroom in lobby area. *mailbox is located at the corner. *you'll need a adapter/converter to charge your electronics if you are from the states.

    It was actually a relative who is a wheelchair user that stayed here at the weekend. Unbelievably he told me this was the first hotel he had ever stayed in who discussed escape route in the event of a fire or if the lift were to break. As per many modern hotels the accessible rooms are located on 1st or 5th floor and there is the choice between a low sided bath or wet room. We have had previous with lifts breaking/power going off in other hotels and being stranded upstairs for hours (plus said person is smoker!) and so this was really reassuring as you can imagine. The plan was that a member of staff would meet them at top of stairs to assist in event of emergency. Access into the hotel is on the flat and it is possible to park right outside with a blue badge. There is also an underground car park. See my tip for a couple of other great things about this hotel.

    Nice sized room which is great because the rates are expensive. Right smack in the center of town which is fun for people who want to get in for a meal and/ or a few pints. The theatre is right down the way too. The breakfast is £13 extra which seems like it should be included. Nonetheless very clean and very helpful staff. I would stay again.

    CitizenM prides itself on offering consistent service and features, so it's no surprise to me that…read moremy experience at the Glasgow location was much the same as other cities. The room itself was exactly the same. Overall, the layout and king bed are always enjoyable, but the hard floor makes for a difficult experience if you're trying to do some in-room stretching/yoga/exercising. A couple things unique to my visit in Glasgow: -During check-in, it asked me what type of room I'd like (meaning, the level/view). I chose a lower room, as it said it was a city view. This was more like a view of the building across the street on the west side of the building. But the lower room was good because... -One of the elevators wasn't working when I checked in, so being able to take stairs up to my room was something I took advantage of. -The actual spot in Glasgow I found very convenient for my purposes. I was able to walk to the university area in about 25 min, as well as over to my favorite spot (Mono/Monorail) in the same amount of time. It was also very close to the Glasgow Queen St station. So all in all, a good experience and I would definitely stay here again.

    I stayed here for a night with my sister for my birthday and I would highly recommend. It is pricey…read morebut the decor is fabulous, the drinks and atmosphere is fun, the rooms are small but the bed is huge and so so comfortable and I love how your able to operate the tv and blinds using a tablet, the tv is big at the end of the bed so a comfortable way to relax and watch a movie. The shower area is frosted glass so your silhouette is on full show so be aware of this. The staff here are so lovely and welcoming and helpful and we had such a wonderful stay and would 100% stay again.

    My thanks and appreciation to the team at the Radisson Blu Hotel Glasgow for patience and diligence…read morein helping me get our Spring Team Meeting sorted after the devastating fire on 8 March at the historic Forsyth Building which caused the voco Grand Central to rebook (within 48 hours of suggesting it) our meeting at the Radisson Blu! It's wonderful to see how business competitors can work together when a disaster occurs; the voco Grand Central and Radisson are shining examples of that cooperation and teamwork. The Radisson Blu managed to re-create our meeting within 30 days (our start date was 14 April), and everything worked seamlessly. Even with numerous changes, the hotel staff took care to ensure everything ran smoothly. Transportation from the airport to the hotel was easy (about GBP38 by Taxi). Our Team thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. The guest rooms were very nice and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly, professional, responsive, and dedicated to ensure our meeting ran smoothly. The Meeting Room was spacious, A/V was plug/play, and the daily food/beverage were of very good quality with a great selection. They diligently took the (shellfish) food allergies and (Halal, Kosher) dietary restrictions into consideration providing meals that could be enjoyed by all. It's a terrific location with Glasgow Central Station (train) just steps away and numerous pubs, restaurants, and the Argyle Street shopping district just down the street in any direction. I definitely recommend this property for both groups and leisure travelers.

    I would probably have rated this hotel with two stars if it hadn't been for Michele, who helped us…read morewith our room key fiasco. The first time we arrived at our room, the room key didn't work. We went back down to get another one. That didn't work either. Michele came up with us and her keys didn't work either. Engineering came to fix the door. They assured us that we would no longer have any problems. A couple of hours later, we went back to our room. Our key didn't work again. Eventually, we were moved to another room with some complimentary breakfast. The hotel is no doubt dated in comparison to other locations. However, it does have amenities we enjoyed: a pool, which was a little circuitous to get to, a gym, and an ice machine. As Michele mentioned, the hotel doesn't have great views. Our first room had a view of other hotel room windows. Our second room had a partial view of Glasgow Central Station and Hope Street. Our room was fairly spacious. The breakfast buffet had many options, even a la carte items. Grahamston was terrible. The service was slow and inattentive. City Sightseeing bus stopped right in front of the hotel. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.
