"I had stayed here a couple years back when I had to have emergency surgery at Garnavel hospital and found it to be very comfortable and quiet. We needed to catch an early morning bus to Skye and the bus stops right by the hotel so it was perfect. The restaurant is also very good and there’s a nice little pond to walk around right by the hotel."
"I stayed in room 210 . Excellent inexpensive hotel for a short stay. Rooms clean, bathroom clean and modern. Shower temperature and power excellent. Mattress firm. No minibar or fridge. Ideal for Scottish exhibition centre. 30 minute walk to centre of city and No 500 bus to Airport."
"The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. It's a bit tired though. Just little stuff like the door sticking, gaps in the laminate floor, cheap shower head with low pressure. No Aircon although they supplied a small desk fan. Worst pillows I've had in a hotel in an age. Breakfast was fine. Nod to being Scottish with potato scones instead of hash browns. About half an hour to walk into the city centre. On good bus route. It was alright. We'd stay again as it was one of the cheapest city centre hotels we could find. Suited us as we were only there for 2 nights."
"The room is quite basic, typical of an economy hotel. However, the surrounding area has a lot to offer, including supermarkets, various restaurants, a cinema, and even a bowling alley. It's about a 1-1.5 kilometer walk to the city center, and there are also buses available."
"Traveled from Edinburgh to Glasgow by car and chose this chain hotel based on many positive reviews. It was a short walk from the station. The environment, cleanliness, service – everything was excellent. Definitely worth a good review."
"The hotel is very close to SEC and right next to Exhibition Station, making it super convenient to take the train to Edinburgh and Ayr. The breakfast selection is great, with a good variety of vegetables and fruits (which is rare to find), many types of coffee, delicious juices, and a wide assortment of bread. The room was cleaned daily and kept very neat and tidy. You can even see the University of Glasgow right outside the window."
"You don't need to step outside: great food, great restaurant, great bar, and wonderful and friendly service. But should you decide to do so, you'll find yourself in the best corner of Scotland best city. (I'd say Britain's, but am still tossing up between Glasgow and Leeds!)
Cafes, independent shops, bars and restaurants, walks, parks, and museums a cynical 15 year old had to be dragged out of. Fantastic time. We booked an extra night. Don't expect the Shangri la. But authentic and homely. I will be back."
"Great location, straightforward checkin, excellent price for twin room apartment. Good kitchen facilities - microwave, hob, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, dishwasher- and reasonable quantities of crockery, cutlery, tumblers, wine glasses, washing up liquid etc.
Good to have separate area with sofa and tv. WiFi perfectly fine.
Slept fairly well but beds and especially pillows were very firm, I usually have 3 pillows but often 1 here was adequate.
The main niggle was that we had an accessible room even though not requested. We understand it is hotel policy to allocate these when necessary and heard someone else who was disappointed as well. The problem is that if you’re 6 foot tall the low height of bathroom mirror, sink and fixtures makes things difficult to manage easily."
"Didnt quote understand the idea of not giving two keys to a couple and then having it back whenever leaving. They even took my card details on arrival, which is fine. There was no label to hang on the door to prevent them from cleaning.
The next morning when we came back from a quick tour, toilets towels looked changed. That felt kind of sneaky. We should have been told what to expect. And the mirrors position were quite odd in the toilet and the room. The staff was lovely and the location was useful tho. I loved the fried egg breakfast!
Ohh and the kettle needed cleaning!"
Very Good

Amazing
GGuest UserLovely studio apartment with kitchenette.
Comfortable bed and decent night's sleep considering we were right in the city centre. One of our studios was at tye front of tye building with a better view. The studio at the back was not such a good view.
Easy to get to lots of places with the Subway nearby . We also got a taxi to Pollock Park and the Burrell Collection.
Enjoy this wonderful city with all it's amenities and vibrant night life.
GGuest UserThe hotel was perfect from the friendly reception staff on arrival to the breakfast the following morning.
The room was immaculate, not new and sparkly, but tastefully decorated with quality well maintained equipment, fittings and furnishings.
All the basics, bed, shower, toilet and basin worked and performed superbly.
Bedding, covers, sheets and pillows were pristine, crisp, and the mattress was exceedingly comfortable.
Plenty of hanging space, iron and board, hairdryer and fridge. Spotlessly clean.
Service for breakfast was unusually efficient for a large hotel. They knew exactly how to cope with a busy breakfast service. Buffet for drinks and cold items, service for Cooked. The full scottish breakfast kept me going all day.
Will definitely return to this hotel.
GGuest UserWhat a warm welcome we always receive at this hotel hundred percent welcome and excellent members of staff . Good food.set up is very accommodating. Pool facilities so relaxing.
GGuest UserHotel perfectly situated for all Glasgow has to offer,staff were very polite and checkin and out was so easy,room was lovely and cosy,Id definitley come back to stay again
KKazzam76Lovely hotel in a great location. The staff were friendly and car parking just down the road was no trouble for us at all. The room was spacious and modern. The breakfast was delicious and we would definitely stay here again.
GGuest UserThe room facilities were good and the service was okay. My main complaint is about the cleanliness – my room wasn't cleaned once during my 4-day stay. Also, there was no kettle in the room, although free drinking water was available in the lobby. It would be fine for a one-night stay, mainly because the location is excellent. It's a ten-minute walk to Queen Street Station and Central Station, and there are plenty of bus stops and an airport bus stop right outside.
GGuest UserBooked the ibis styles as a last minute getaway,check in was easy and staff were friendly,our room was a good size and very clean,nice sized shower with good power,bar area is relaxed and nice to sit have a drink in,would recommend this hotel and will go back again.
MMikethetravellingscouserHampton by Hilton, Glasgow Central is located on West Campbell Street and this truly is right in the heart of the city centre!
Located just around the corner from the bustling shopping street of Sauchiehall Street, you’ve got everything you need at your disposal within walking distance of this hotel! Even Glasgow’s Central station is just a short 10 minute walk away - ideal if you’re coming in from another such as Liverpool like I was!
A double room in this hotel is a fair size. To maximise on the space, Hampton by Hilton have removed wardrobes and cupboards and have replaced them with walk-in spaces. It works - the L shaped room can feel a little cosy at first, but once you’ve passed through the corridor, the main area where the bed and TV is feels quite spacious.
The breakfast provided - which is free for all guests - is to a great standard. Make sure you try out the fresh waffles which come as standard in Hampton by Hilton hotels. The breakfast area isn’t huge though, so if you come around 8.30/9am, space might be limited!
There’s also a fitness suite in the hotel which has a good range of equipment available. No windows in there though!
Some areas for improvement - the room could do with a bit of refurbishment as the furniture is looking quite tired in parts and there are a lot of scratches and dirty marks on the walls. The room is very functional rather than a luxurious stay. Having said that, Hampton by Hilton is not marketing itself as a luxury brand. It’s firmly in the budget hotel bracket, probably at a similar standard to Premier Inn - which certainly isn’t a bad thing!
Another thing to note - if you stay here during the weekend, it could be noisy. There are three nightclubs right near the hotel and on a Saturday night, the noise didn’t stop until 2.30am and this meant we didn’t get much sleep one night. However, the staff were very helpful when we flagged it with them the next morning and gave a credit for a free night’s stay at any Hampton by Hilton!
All in all, this hotel is a good base to stay whilst exploring Glasgow. It’s functional, it does the job and you’re going to be well fed during breakfast. True, there are areas for improvement, but this shouldn’t impact your overall experience too much!
BBee HoonWe stayed during Christmas season and there was a Xmas market next door. The hotel is spacious and all the necessary facilities, including kitchen and washing machine are provided.
GGuest Userit's really uncomfortable, the room is so small and also smells mariyuana around the corridor, The first room we got smelled stingy , The second we got small and still smelly even though it didn't smell like the first one, however this room good for backpacker not for the family, Not recommended, no amenities at all only towel we got
