The Spires Glasgow

“Very well appointed apartments right in city centre”

We stayed at the Spires for 6 nights. It is a brilliant location. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need.

We stayed at the Spires for 6 nights. It is a brilliant location. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need. The self check in process was very easy and we were into our apartment in no time. Well withing walking distance of Central and Queen Street rail stations. Close to many restaurants and bars, especially in the Merchant City. I would definitely chose Spires again.

“Great location - but”

Apartments are clean and well located on Glassford Street just off of Ingram / Argyle Street so very close to lots of restaraunts, bars, subway, trains, busses, St Enochs.

Apartments are clean and well located on Glassford Street just off of Ingram / Argyle Street so very close to lots of restaraunts, bars, subway, trains, busses, St Enochs. There is everything you need for a couple of nights like us who were just in for two nights before a flight. Our bedrooms were located at the back of the apartment away from noisy Glassford Street so were not affected by the party goers outside. The floors and doors are very creaky in your own apartment - not great if light sleepers / different bed times. Hopefully you don't have a very active upstairs neighbour like we did who seemed to pace the floors / do exercise as it felt like you could feel every movement through the floors from your neighbours. We did open a window late in the afternoon and for 15 minutes but realised in that time that there was a very strong odour of BO or other substance coming in, so quickly shut and used the fan in the apartment. Staff were very accommodating of an early check in / late check out and provided travel cot as requested. I could understand how travelling on your own you could feel intimidated with the gated entrance, particularly late at night as there is a large amount of people (20ish) that congregate at a homelessness charity nearby. As we were travelling as a family the this wasn't an issue for us. Likely to stay again for price and location if we were travelling as a family.

“Perfect for family/tourist stay in central Glasgow.”

Husband and I had to sleep in the room without an ensuite as single beds were in that room - that was our main disappointment and only being provided with x2 teabags for our 2 night stay. Generally clean, especially linen and central location were pluses for us. Parking discount with NCP was perfec… more

Generally clean, especially linen and central location were pluses for us. Parking discount with NCP was perfect being so close too.

Large apartment in central Glasgow but a little awkward layout. The kitchen and living room area is large and nice furnished, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need including a washer/dryer combination. Unused by me but it was there. The bedroom though is very small, no room to open a medium size luggage. There are so may doors to go through, a main one from the main hallway into a Mai hall, then another one into the apartament in another hall, then 4 or 5 doors. I is the kitchen /living, one is the bedoorm and another 3 doors. Something that N Americans are not used with. You actually have to go through 2 doors to get from bedroom into the living room. Shower is heated by a local heater. Temperature wise is fine, not the same for volume, I guess the heater cannot handle lerge volume of water and for that reason they restricted to minimum. No not water pressure or volume. The apartament windows, especially the one in the bedroom needs some updating, it doesn't close properly, lots of noise overnight, it is on a busy street. Also the bedroom is cold comparing to the other rooms. The l thermostat, on the hallway, showed 24 where in the bedroom was only 15. I bumped it up to 25 but that didn't do anything to the temperature in the bedroom. Oh well, I was only there for a night. Location can't be better, parking across the street, you are in the middle of everything, shops, restaurants, grocery stores. People are great and very friendly.
