The Social Hub Glasgow
"Room was spotlessly clean. Would have preferred the sink in the shower room instead of in the bedroom! Really comfy bed and excellent soundproof. Had great sleep both nights. Wine was a bit pricey but never ate in restaurant. Used the gym and couldn't see cleaning materials for equipment. Would stay ..."

DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central
"The hotel was nice overall. It was used as an event venue so it was very busy. The room was spacious and clean. However the shower had no door and the rain shower head was located o the open side of the glass door. I made the show unusable as it would have completely flooded the room."
