Maldron Hotel Glasgow City

8/10 Good
"The building is beautiful and well maintained, very centrally located. The staff who checked me in were extremely helpful and pleasant, quickly resolving a minor problem with my room. I must say, the very unhelpful desk clerk at checkout marred that impression. There is a nice bar lounge area, but no table service. Despite these few minor inconveniences, I would definitely stay here again."

"Leonardo Royal was in a perfect location for me, a first time visitor to Glasgow. The staff was friendly and helpful especially the manager day at breakfast, Stephen. . The breakfast buffet was fabulous. The accommodations in the room were very comfortable. My only comment is there are no drawers to put clothes into if you unpack your bags. I think more hotels are leaning towards that, but when I stay more than two days, I like to unpack, and I was there for five. Also, I wish more hotels would have magnifying mirrors in the bathroom, but I would definitely stay there again on any return trip to Glasgow"

The hotel is not located next to the train station but it’s only about 4/5 blocks away. Not a far walk 7-9 minute walk."

"This is a beautiful hotel! Me and my girlfriend stayed here for 7 nights for our trip to Scotland and it was splendid! Location was great, within walking distance to Argyle Street with shops and restaurants, right next door to the OVO Hydro and by the river. The rooms were a tad bit small, unfortunately there was no fridge or microwave, but it was really clean and housekeeping every day. The bar had some great drinks and food, and they were open all night which was perfect for us trying to adjust to the jet lag. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!"
