Glasgow Marriott Hotel

“Better and Better”

I am a titanium Bonvoy member who has stayed at this Marriott dozens of times. This time I was offered to stay in a newly refurbished junior suite. Maybe it is too new; there is still some smell of wet paint, which is not really good. However, it is good to see that the new room has good air condi… more

I am a titanium Bonvoy member who has stayed at this Marriott dozens of times. This time I was offered to stay in a newly refurbished junior suite. Maybe it is too new; there is still some smell of wet paint, which is not really good. However, it is good to see that the new room has good air conditioning, which is good since the last few times I found the room was too warm to stay in, particularly in summertime. The shower has also improved, particularly the faucet, which is very easy to operate. The lounge has also been refurbished, which is better, and a variety of snacks are being served too. One of the things I always feel disappointed about is that I always need to request extra slippers, even though I have requested it in their apps; apparently, no one reads that before I check in. Finally, one thing I observed that has been improved is that after I requested a late check out, my key will still work after 2pm, last few times, the key will always be unable to be used after noon time, and I have to go back to reception asking them to reset it.

“Good city centre venue”

The hotel is reasonably central. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Meals in the hotel were excellent - I had breakfast and a formal dinner at an event I was attending. Food was well prepared and presented. Breakfast, there was a lot of choice. Only downside was poor wi-fi. I was unable to get any work done from the room - reception had a go at getting me onto a better footing with it but that failed also. Apart from that, an excellent stay.

“Great Location”

We only spent one night but we enjoyed the location and the helpful staff. Yiannis handled our check in and did an excellent job orientating us to our new surroundings and giving us helpful suggestions. I wish we could have spent one more day exploring the city.

“Somewhat disappointing from a Global brand”

The Marriott hotel is a brand you should be able to rely on. Rather expensive for 2 nights bed and breakfast, for what we received. The room was clean, but on the small side. Little water pressure from the shower over the bath and would’ve at least expected a power shower! Had booked a king size … more

The Marriott hotel is a brand you should be able to rely on. Rather expensive for 2 nights bed and breakfast, for what we received. The room was clean, but on the small side. Little water pressure from the shower over the bath and would’ve at least expected a power shower! Had booked a king size room, but was given a room with 2 beds. The bed my husband slept in, the mattress was concave, leaving a less than comfortable sleep! Sitting having a drink and or meal, there was an apparent infestation of some type of fly, which was not pleasant when trying to enjoy this part of our trip, resulted in batting away the flies for the duration of sitting in the lounge/bar area. You would not expect this level of flies in Scotland in October! One of the hosts in the bar advised we would get complimentary drinks with our meal, as a gesture of goodwill, but checking out, we were actually charged for this too! When checking out, I shared my disappointment with the service desk, of the issues of our experience during our stay and will certainly not plan to return.

“Good hotel for short stay”

Solid hotel for business trips. The hotel has undergone refurbishment over the past year so the lobby and reception area looks very smart. There’s a comfortable bar with good staff and a restaurant on the ground floor. The restaurant doubled for breakfast which was an extremely average breakfast buffet but did the job. I hate queuing for coffee at breakfast and this seemed unavoidable while everyone waited at the two coffee machines, how about serving customers with coffee at the table? The room on the lower floor was a refurbished room that was very comfortable but a little on the small side. The bed was just right. There was a kettle with sachets of instant coffee which was a bit dated. The shower was pretty feeble and my head hit the ceiling when I stood in the bath. The view from the room was dismal (think skips and cityscape) Apart from a few minor niggles I thought this was a pretty decent hotel for a short stay.
