Argyll Western Hotel
3.9/556 Reviews

Argyll Western Hotel

Glasgow|0.48km from West End
We checked into this hotel expecting the room to look like the photos advertised on their website. In reality, it did not. We were booked into Room 12 which is in the basement of the hotel. The room had a damp and musty smell. The bathroom door hit the edge of one of the beds when you opened and closed it. One of the teacups had tea stains in it. The window in the bathroom did not have a curtain and although there it was frosted, you could see the hotel workers sitting across the way when they were having their break. If you were taking a shower, they could probably see into the bathroom. There was mold in the bathroom shower stall. The worst thing in this room was the large emergency LED trouble light which was about 24 inches long and so bright it lit the room up like a neon sign when you were trying to sleep. To the hotel's credit, I talked to the owner and the maintenance person about how dissatisfied we were with the accommodation and the next morning we were switched to Room 103 on the main floor. They apologized for the inconvenience and the condition of Room 12. The room was much more spacious and the bathroom double the size. There was a large window in the room that opened on one side and the other side could be opened too but the handle to crank the window had broken and fallen onto the ground outside. The room looked out towards a lane and a row of garbage cans. There was still some mold in this shower stall but it was nowhere as bad as Room 12 in the basement. This hotel was booked fully the whole time we were there. I think the biggest draw for this hotel is the proximity to the Byres Road which is near the Botanic Gardens. It is located in the West End, which is lined with boutique shops, bakeries, pubs, and eateries. For the price we paid, it was definitely not worth it. I am shocked that it has had rave reviews but I guess the location trumps everything else. If you book this hotel, call them and try to avoid any rooms in the basement if you can. Also, this hotel does not have an elevator and if you have mobility issues, the stairs are quite steep.
The Belhaven Hotel

The Belhaven Hotel

Glasgow|0.58km from West End
Avoid room 10 at all costs!!! A very disappointing ‘hotel’ (I use that word loosely) with zero amenities and no staff anywhere to be found except for late at night. Even then, the single person working could not find any milk when I requested it and failed to leave some by my room in the morning as offered. I know that staff were reduced due to the pandemic, but all other hotels I have stayed in had at least someone to welcome you and see to it that questions and requests were dealt with. The front doors are locked 24/7 - yes, even during the day, This should be listed on airbnb, not as a hotel. The bar and restaurant were closed “due to COVID”, even though all COVID restrictions are now lifted. The room cost £80 per night which is extremely expensive for what was in fact just a tiny, noisy room with none of the expected benefits of being in a hotel. The bathroom was so tiny I couldn't bend down to wash my feet in the shower! I couldn't wash in the basin as the toiletry shelf was in the way. The plumbing must be as old as the house because the noise was horrendous. I booked this ‘hotel’ because it looked far more glamorous in the photos than it really is. I could have had a bigger, more comfortable, quiet room safe in the knowledge that there are staff on reception for half the price at a premier inn - and with a king size bed. If I had been alone in the room I would not have felt safe. This was like a low budget B&B with no access to anything other than the room itself. I will definitely not book again. At no point did I feel that the hotel was welcoming or that I was safe. I simply cannot understand why there were no reception staff at all and no bar or breakfast availability. I also paid a £50 deposit for what, I really do not know. I will be watching to see if that gets returned.

The room is very big, there is a record player, coffee machine, so much love Hygienic: conditions are very good Environment: Near the University of Glasgow, next to the Botanic Garden, natural oxygen bar Service: Very good, warm and thoughtful. Breakfast is English bread, milk, coffee, etc. Although it is monotonous, it is really delicious.
One Devonshire Gardens a Hotel du Vin
4.5/5104 Reviews
This hotel is beautiful. We booked a junior suite and we’re pleasantly surprised with the size of our ground-floor room. The decor is very nice, and we enjoyed the large tub in the bathroom. The hotel provides water, which was also appreciated, as well as tea and coffee. The price was reasonable, and it is just a 10 minute walk or so to the botanical gardens. If you go just a little further, you will hot many restaurants, pubs, and shops. The only negative was that it’s a bit far out from the center, so if you need to go back and forth, the cab fare may add up. I prefer the quiet of being away from the center.

Sandyford Lodge
4.1/560 Reviews
Excellent location, fantastic service, lovely modern rooms, very spacious, breakfast was good too. Highly recommend & would definitely visit again if in Glasgow. Small bus ride from city centre & only £8.40 in taxi. On a busy road so a little noisy at nighttime but too be expected.
Devoncove Hotel Glasgow City
3.3/5117 Reviews
We stayed at the Devencove as it was within walking distance to the Hydro. The hotel was OK for a 3 star and our room was clean and functional. We went to the restaurant in the hotel and ordered our meal..we initially asked for a starter of mutton, but was told this wasn't available. My husband requested a further pint of Menrbrea but he was told that that this had run out as well. I ordered fish snd chips which looked good but after tasting a bit I cut through the fish and it was uncooked and totally disgusting. When I pointed this out to the waitress she apologised and said that she would pass this on to the kitchen...no replacement meal or refund was offered. For two days I suffered with a stomach upset after eating some of the fish. Within a couple of days afterwards we were asked for feedback on our stay by the Devencove and we relayed what had happened regarding the meal..to date we have had no reply from them. Further to this, when we returned from the concert to the hotel the bar was closed..this was about 11pm but there were a fair few dodgy characters hanging about the reception area and a couple of girls were vomiting in the disabled toilet with the door open!!! This hotel is OK for a cheap overnight stay but definitely not for any longer!!!
Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel
4.2/514 Reviews
Overall is OK. The location is in the city center, convenient for shopping. After all, it is a big hotel brand, so basic things are fine. There are three bad experiences: 1. Service: Check-in in the UK is at 3 pm. I arrived at 1 o'clock, and a young guy received me. He refused to let me check in, saying that I must wait until 3 o'clock. I'll go, I've been on a plane for more than 30 hours. No way, I was too tired to wait. It turned out that other people came and checked in directly. I just try to find another person who looks like a supervisor and do it directly. In the end, they did it without asking anything. Make me mad. White let me spend nearly an hour. Too powerful. 2. The air from the air conditioner always smells of chemicals. Turn it off and it will be cold, but turn it on and it will smell bad. 3. There is a weighing scale in the gym. I went there and saw that there was no number. The waiter said that the battery was out. He said a few more words that I didn't understand. The next day, there was still no electricity. Another waiter said that there was no electricity. On the third day, I simply took the scale away. I am also speechless.
