Carlton George Hotel Glasgow

Reviews

1. DeWayne Loudermilk ★★★★★

   This was the perfect stay for our first time in Scotland. A very nice property located in a great part of Glasgow, and the staff were so friendly and helpful! The room had a very comfortable bed and offered plenty of space for a couple traveling with multiple suitcases. The view from The Windows Restauraunt was amazing, we even got to step out onto the balcony after breakfast into the crisp morning air and hear a bagpiper playing! Only one small issue during checkout, but it was handled quickly and professionally. We would love to visit again!

   This hotel has many pros and cons, but misses the benchmark for a 4-star hotel in several categories. The location could not be better, as the hotel is located in central Glasgow and is a convenient walk away from any sites, as well as two train stations. The hotel also provides a free mini bar, which is a thoughtful gesture. The experience we had with staff was mixed. Several of the front desk staff were attentive and helpful. Others were completely disengaged and did the bare minimum to respond to our queiries. A young woman who was working on the morning of October 21st was incredibly welcoming; we also spoke with some of the cleaning staff and found them very helpful. The rooms themselves were not in line with our expectations for a four-star hotel. There were no bathrobes or slippers offered and unfortunately we found that sections of our room had not been properly cleaned or serviced, as they still had prior guests' rubbish in them. The shower was impossible to adjust to a normal temperature, as it would range between freezing and suddenly scalding. The toilet sink was clogged. It was very dark both in the room and toilet; as we were attending a wedding it was incredibly difficult to get ready - we could barely see our faces, let alone shave or apply makeup. In short, the hotel stay was fine and at the correct price point, we would stay here again in the future. I hope that the management can take this review as guidance for aspects which can be improved, as I feel all of these points can be easily fixed.

   The location is unmatched for this hotel. It's feet from the train station, around the corner from a metro station and a 3 minute walk from the express bus to the airport I ended my trip here and what a great way to end it. I was able to almost immediately drop off my luggage and start exploring Glasgow thanks to the location. My room was spacious, with a free mini bar. The bathroom included a bath mat to make the shower safer (the first one I've seen all trip). The hotel itself is also within walking distance of many popular attractions including the modern art museum and there were plenty of good restaurants in the area as well. The staff were all super helpful (offering assistance with my bags since I was traveling alone) as well as with restaurant recommendations etc 11/10 would stay again

   We stayed from July 31 to August 3 in an Executive Double Room with Lounge Access and couldn’t have chosen a better base. The location is unbeatable — right next to Queen Street Station and around the corner from Buchanan Street, perfect for exploring Glasgow on foot. The Executive Lounge was a real treat, with snacks, refreshments, and extra drinks — a great place to meet like-minded travellers enjoying Glasgow’s hospitality. Our minibar was replenished daily (thank you, Mary!) and the personal touches really stood out. Special thanks to Patrick at reception and Mary for making us feel so welcome — People Make Glasgow is especially true here. We didn’t take breakfast, but the rooftop terrace offers fantastic views over the city, George Square (closed for renovations in August), and beyond. Around the hotel you’ll also notice touches inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, from the artwork to the furniture — a delight for art lovers. Our room had a classic style but was spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed, coffee machine, desk, chairs, and everything we could have needed. We liked it so much we even considered extending our stay by two days — the rate offered was excellent, and we genuinely felt wanted there. No doubt we’d happily stay again.

   Room and amenities were fantastic. Our room was upgraded when we arrived and gave us access to the executive lounge which provided even more complimentary food and drink than the complimentary minibar and spirits provided in the room. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel even had a laundry service which was greatly needed at that point in the trip. The rooftop restaurant has decent food, great drinks, and an incredible view. Wish I stayed longer and would come again.

   Great location. The hotel entrance was beautiful with an open fire in the lobby. Service was friendly . Rooms need a bit of an update but good prices as included in a fully stocked mini bar. The pub next door connects to the hotel and looks like it belongs on the harry potter set.

   Great wee hotel. Location is spot on. We were in a quiet room which it was. Only issue I had was even with air con on, it was still absolutely roasting and unable to open window. Other than that it was fab. Bed so comfy. Very traditional decor.

   Review of Carlton George Hotel Pending reviewvia mobile Chose this hotel because close to railway station. Great location also in centre of town great view at breakfast in restaurant which had one lady serving the tables. She was electric nothing a problem she made breakfast service look easy. Great choice also. Our room was quiet and comfortable window facing a pedestrian side street. Bed very comfy. Two pillows one thankfully slim enough for my needs. We had lounge access which was great it had an ice machine so I visited a few times on our one night stay. Check in was super quick and was able to get a late check out. Highly recommend this hotel the extras make it, the efficient staff and the location.

   An amazing downtown hotel to stay in Glasgow. It’s a pretty old property however well maintained. The hotel staff are so sweet and welcoming. Right next to the underground you can access anywhere in the city from here. Lot of shopping options near by and yes a perfect tourist stay. With a lot of eateries near by this is a complete value for the money. I loved the bar cabinet and they had a premium whisky vodka gin and wine free for you. Since we checked out early they packed breakfast for us which was compact and filling. I will definitely visit and stay here again.

   Just wonderful! Really comfortable hotel, nicely designed- stylish, welcoming, and traditional. Lovely welcoming staff. Really impressed with the extra touches that this room came with too. Quick visit so we only stayed for one night but will make a note to come back if I ever return to the area .
