"I think that this would be a great hotel for a weekend getaway if you happen to live somewhere in the UK or even Europe. I was quite jetlagged upon arrival (9am) after 24 hours in transit over several time zones. I had asked in advance if I could check in early. I did not receive a response. Check in was officially 3pm. Upon arrival, they suggested that for 20 pounds I could check in at 2pm instead of 3pm. I was able to leave my luggage but was absolutely exhausted and had to wander around...

Top Riverside Museum Hotel Reviews

Best Western Glasgow Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a couple of issues with the bathroom which I reported on leaving as I was only staying 1 night. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Breakfast is great. Location is also central"

The Social Hub Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"I was surprised finding out that this hotel is also used by students long term, as it is really nice and well looked after! Unlike typical dorms! The staff there are absolutely amazing. Most of them I have contact with made me feel special and valued as a customer. A couple of them were especially nice, remembering me from previous days (I stayed there for 3 nights) and commented on our previous encounters. Food is delicious and affordable, so I didn't even think of eating outside of the hotel. A huge choice of breakfast food, and dinner menu was interesting too. Room was very clean and looked after, bed very comfortable and the pillows - I'd love to have them at home! Communal areas there are welcoming and friendly. Also, I like their open support for LGBTQ+ The only one minus to the highest score is the fact that most rooms don't have fridges. It was quite hot during my stay in Glasgow and the option of having a cold drink from the fridge was not there. So instead of 10/10, I'm giving this place 9.5/10."

Sandyford Hotel

8/10 Good

"Booked a twin room at the Sandyford very last minute (10 minutes before I checked in) and all I can say is the staff were very helpful and welcoming, and the location is excellent if you wanting to explore the West End as it's located just outside the south entrance of Kelvingrove Park, and in the middle of Finneston which has plenty of unique bars and restaurants to explore on a night out. I also thought the price of the room was very reasonable considering it was such a late booking, with it only being £60 on a Thursday night. Only thing resembling a complaint I have is that the shower had no median temperature: it was either scorching hot or freezing cold so you have to fluctuate between them constantly using the dial to get something close to a normal temperature (and considering I was out the previous night into the early hours of the morning, it did wake me from my hangover lol)"

Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This hotel was a disappointment. Despite having a rule that the service elevators cannot be used after 6pm, we heard it being used repeatedly between 6-11pm every night. I called reception repeatedly and they were (mostly) apologetic, but didn't seem to be able to do anything about it and the information received by the different receptionists was never the same. Management and the night porters were claiming that the elevators were not being used, which was a complete lie, especially as the receptionist at checkout specifically said that a lot of people were complaining about the noise. A bit of customer gaslighting there. Really not impressed with this hotel and wouldn't recommend it if you want a good night sleep."
