Hotels near Cowcaddens Fire Station in Glasgow

My wife and I planned a night out in Glasgow for our friends 40th birthday and booked this hotel for the night. I must say this hotel wasn't what I was expecting the front of house staff were really friendly and professional however that manager needs to learn she is in her position because of the customers and she should learn to speak to the customer in a more professional manner. In the space of 10 minutes while we were checking in we both saw her being disrespectful to 4 different customers. THE BAR and RESTAURANT The choice of drinks were ok however there was no draft beer available. They also had cocktails in the fridge however the barman refused to sell any to us due to the management not allowing him to do so. We paid for morning breakfast and they had a choice of continental or hot breakfast. The breakfast was the best part of the stay. THE ROOM The room was very simple. It had a small TV with standard free channels. The issue I had with the room was the staff only put 1 towel in the bathroom. If there are 2 people staying it should be policy that you get 2 towels. I cannot recommend this hotel until these issues are fixed and I will not be returning.

Just to be clear, this isn't a fine star establishment but it does deserve a fine star review for what it provides at the price or charges. City centre location. Lots of shopping and food options around the venue. Staff were very pleasant although more knowledge about bus routes would have been helpful given the number of out of towners that will be staying here. I chose a double room without a window sunder I was literally just sleeping here rather than spending time in the room. It is very clean, nice white bedding. The double bed took up the whole of the Room bar the entrance part but that was absolutely not an issue because I didn't need any more space. There was a toilet and shower wet room, TV, mirror, hanging area (not a full wardrobe but it absolutely sure what I needed). I appreciated the interesting extra touches which had clearly been considered for a compact space such as storage under the bed for luggage, free wi-fi, plug points and light switches by the bed and only having room cleaning and bedding changed on request and for an additional charge, rather than being included in three cost of the Room when it really wasn't necessary or environmentally aware given that I only had a two night stay. I would definitely use this service again. I paid £25 per night through booking.com which for a city centre location is outstanding.

Going to the Royal Concert Hall so booked this hotel, from the outside lt looks pretty grotty, rubbish at entrance, a bit concerned. But on entry found the staff especially Antonia very helpful The room was basic but adequate with a view of the back lane, plenty of hot water and quiet. The breakie included in price was good, obviously not the Kimpton but you get what you pay for. As we had. Travelled by bus it was minutes. From the station, also minutes from the Concert Hall Next time we have a concert there we'll choose this HIE

From the moment we arrived in Glasgow the staff were extremely helpful and checked our bags early and helped us through the check in process so we would only need to provide a name when checking in at 3pm. Our room was ready on time and Caitlin at reception took our booking for breakfast and provided us with great information on different things we could do in Glasgow. We visited Pollochshaw Park and the Burrell collection o her recommendation and spent nearly 4 hours there petting the cows and walking around the fantastic woodlands. The breakfast was fantastic and the servers i the bar were friendly and professional. The room was clean and small touches such as air con in room on a hot week and the choice of firm or soft pillows really made our experience in Glasgow better than we ever imagined it could be.

Perfect location surrounded by a lot of restaurants and pubs. A nearby bus stop to go to the airport. The room was not 100% clean and the furniture looked a bit old. Sometimes it was a bit noisy as you can hear clearly when others walked and talked in the hallway but I didn’t mind so much as the prices were very reasonable! I didn’t try the breakfast but the area looked very comfy!

The hotel is situated in the centre of the town which makes you easy to go anywhere. Don’t forget to park your car in their car park which is more cheaper than you put your car in somewhere.

We were really excited to book this hotel looking at reviews and based on fact it was new and modern But soon we came down to Earth Over priced , location not easily accessible, room small, no shower mat in shower. Rooms are on same standard of modern travelodge or premier inns which you can accept for the price you pay , 156£ for a twin room for one night is not a fair price if you deliver same standard of travelodge in main queen street selling the same rooms with same amenities at 68£ or premier inn at glasgow airport at 89£ and trust me their price was justified by location first of all than amenities and rich selection of breakfast and freshly baked items Breakfast at chops was a disgrace and overpriced , breakfast items like brioches and muffins dry and old , stale food we went down on morning around 9 am there were just 4 tables eating so can't say it was a busy morning , staff seems annoyed to see guests and there was no choice of vegetarian breakfast available , we had to ask for some vegetarian items and the vegetarian sausages were horrendous , they presented us with a square tile sausage of morrisons which was extremely dry and smelly ,literally leather piece , i was disappointed to leave it to the bin as i am against the food wastage and had to left on table dry muffins dry croissants and dry sausages , had to ask for an omelette with tomatoes and they refused to make it tomatoes than asked for a simple and waiter came out with tomatoes one ,i assume waiter added tomatoes Chunk om top coz chef refused to make it and when chef refused to add items on a dish we all know in hospitality it comes as premade dish so they dnt want to take responsability . On leaving the chops no bye or interaction from staff, On bar bed and breakfast rate in a 4 star hotels at least a water bottle is provided in room and on booking we were told there was a fridge in room as minibar , reading other reviews of guests confirming they were provided with minibar items on arrival we booked this as extra and found fridge empty . Not fitt for health and safety as the main pillars of the building in main public areas are uncovered and concrete is falling in chunks from corners coz the pillars are not covered , same is on the ceiling of main entrance and reception area which is uncovered , was playing pool in reception area and got scratches from the rough corners of the pillar next to pool . Absolutely not a 4 star and not a full English breakfast, maybe can be a 1/4 of English breakfast if we want to be honest .

Firstly, there was a mix-up with the rooms on the first night. However, this was dealt with impeccably by the management. When we did get into our room (701), we found it to be perfect for our purposes. A perfectly proportioned, well-kitted top floor apartment with outstanding terrace views towards the south-side and over the city. Overall, the whole venue is a modernized, well-appointed building, which is perfect if you were wanting to treat your partner to a romantic stay. The presence of the Atlantic restaurant in the basement of the building is a further attraction. Scott and his team were very helpful and welcoming, and full marks to them for sorting out the initial hiccup with the booking. Mistakes occur in every aspect of life - it's how you address them which counts. Suffice to say, we would return.

We stayed one night. Hotel is lovely and very well maintained. Reception staff friendly. Our room was good with amazingly comfy bed. The bathroom however let it down as grout was a bit mouldy and bath matt dirty. Also room didn't appear to have a hairdryer. The Champagne Central bar was great but our cocktails were such a rip off: £10.50 each and had ice to the brim of tall glasses so hardly anything in the glass to drink - shocking and disappointing. Breakfast very good but wouldn't expect to get my own tea or coffee from a machine or make my own toast at a 4 star hotel.

The location is really nice, it’s near the Winterfest Market (Christmas Market). Only for 5 minutes walk. The bed is clean and private. Shower room is also very clean. The only disadvantage is the pub next to the hostel, it played the music loud until midnight. For me it was fine, but for someone who need absolutely quiet space will be the problem.
