“An Invitation not to be missed!!”

We haven't actually stayed or dined there however back in 1999 when our daughter was in Glasgow University's Halls of Residence on nearby Bellhaven Terrace she met a fellow, student resident who was the son of Meryl Steep, and studying Music for 6 months at Glasgow Uni.

We haven't actually stayed or dined there however back in 1999 when our daughter was in Glasgow University's Halls of Residence on nearby Bellhaven Terrace she met a fellow, student resident who was the son of Meryl Steep, and studying Music for 6 months at Glasgow Uni. Meryly stayed at One Devonshire Gardens when she came across and wined and dined her son there. She invited one of her son's Scottish pals to visit her at her family home in the USA but he [stupidly] didn't take her up on the offer.

“Oksy’s Brilliant Bar is a Highlight!”

My husband and I regularly stay at this hotel when we visit Glasgow. We had a five night stay at the end of August and everything was exemplary, as always. Our room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable and so brilliantly looked after by the incredible housekeeping team. I had a wonderful massage from Susan in the lovely treatment room which was an extra special treat! Danny is always a brilliant help, and the entire reception and bar teams are great and responsive to any requests. A special shout out though to Oksy who runs a beautiful and efficient bar. She is always so warm and welcoming, has great advice about drinks options, brings our drinks and other treats so quickly, and even remembered my husband’s allergies in between visits! It’s such a joy to sit in the bar, lovely atmosphere, and this is largely down to Oksy and her exceptional service. Thank you so much. We will be back!

“5 star prices for a 2 star room”

We first stayed at the One Devonshire Gardens by Hotel du Vin in August 2021. At that time, I gave them a 4* as I thought the service was very good but the rooms looked tired. We visited again in Sept. 24. The service was equally good, the staff very friendly and professional, the breakfast was ex… more

We first stayed at the One Devonshire Gardens by Hotel du Vin in August 2021. At that time, I gave them a 4* as I thought the service was very good but the rooms looked tired. We visited again in Sept. 24. The service was equally good, the staff very friendly and professional, the breakfast was excellent but the rooms looked very tired, not having been refurbished for a number of years. This was a big let down for an hotel of that class (and of that price). I understand that this this an old building and this is part of its charm, but it is now in desperate need of maintenance. The windows were very drafty (and only single glazed), the woodwork has not been maintained, and there is mould building up in various places. The bedding is also very tired, as well as the carpets and decoration. We tried to put the radiators on as it was getting cold but both valves were turned off probably to save some money. It is a shame as the hotel has a lot of potential but it has definitely lost its lustre and now needs a major refurb to keep up with the competition. On a different note, I tried to book the hotel directly as hoteliers usually prefer not to pay an hefty commission to comparison websites but the Hotel Du Vin website was down. When I spoke to the reservation team over the phone, they were not remotely interested to match the price I got from a travel website (they were about 10% more expensive). This also makes me think that they have lost touch with the market and live on their reputation. This lemon squeezing strategy can only last so long…

“Don’t plan for a drink in the bar”

Staying one night for a special occasion. Room was lovely with an amazing bathroom. However, before going elsewhere for dinner we wanted a drink in the bar. An exceptionally officious member of staff told us there was no space in the bar or the lounge. We could sit outside in the bothy (September,… more

Staying one night for a special occasion. Room was lovely with an amazing bathroom. However, before going elsewhere for dinner we wanted a drink in the bar. An exceptionally officious member of staff told us there was no space in the bar or the lounge. We could sit outside in the bothy (September, raining) but that was it. Lots of empty dinner tables, which we would have vacated within the hour, had we been permitted to sit at one. Really unimpressive for a hotel of this apparently quality (and price!)
