There are disadvantages staying in one of the oldest hotels in a city centre, the facilities can be old. If you want to use the gym and pool you do have to go down a passage that is uninviting to say the least. However the equipement is all there.
The hotel is slowly modernising the rooms, and I hope they do not do more than redecorate and put in new fittings. The rooms and we were on the 3rd floor were huge. In the corridor the carpet was not worn but was tired, however this hotel is history. The great victorians stayed here and you could see the past eligance that they enjoyed.
It was mid January the staff were freindly the restaurant provided good meals and an excellant house wine.
We stepped off the train and fell into the hotel it was that close. The famous Glasgow shopping streets were minutes away. So heavy packages could be brought back to the room rather than carry them with you.
A wonderful place to relax. Just a pity like all major hotel groups they do not sell real ale!! One day they will learn what a good beer is!

carbon copy branding here! The hotel has updated to keep up with the times whilst remaining sympathetic to its original Victorian features which are still visible ...
