Has all the basics, perfect for a solo traveller. Small compact room with double bed. Great location in the heart of Glasgow, perfect for walking around and near to train stations to visit other places. No wardrobe, limited hanging space on the wall, so not great for long stays.

The hotel is very close to SEC and right next to Exhibition Station, making it super convenient to take the train to Edinburgh and Ayr. The breakfast selection is great, with a good variety of vegetables and fruits (which is rare to find), many types of coffee, delicious juices, and a wide assortment of bread. The room was cleaned daily and kept very neat and tidy. You can even see the University of Glasgow right outside the window.

While I can’t say I fully enjoyed my stay at DoubleTree by Hilton, that may partly be because we had just come from a really lovely hotel in Aberdeen, so my expectations were quite high, particularly regarding the housekeeping standards, given the hotel’s reputation and heritage. Unfortunately, the cleaning service and general room upkeep felt somewhat lacking during our stay. That said, it was still a good stay overall. The reception staff were fantastic, very professional, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The breakfast was decent as well, although we were unable to try many of the buffet options due to personal preferences and faith-based dietary restrictions. Overall, we enjoyed our time in Glasgow.

Staff were friendly, helpful and always went the extra mile. We particularly appreciated the Purple Goes Green offer, where because opted out of daily housekeeping, we were given a voucher for free drinks at the lovely Vega bar on the top floor! As for the drinks, the mocktails were superb! Thank you YOTEL Glasgow

Traveled from Edinburgh to Glasgow by car and chose this chain hotel based on many positive reviews. It was a short walk from the station. The environment, cleanliness, service – everything was excellent. Definitely worth a good review.

Didnt quote understand the idea of not giving two keys to a couple and then having it back whenever leaving. They even took my card details on arrival, which is fine. There was no label to hang on the door to prevent them from cleaning. The next morning when we came back from a quick tour, toilets towels looked changed. That felt kind of sneaky. We should have been told what to expect. And the mirrors position were quite odd in the toilet and the room. The staff was lovely and the location was useful tho. I loved the fried egg breakfast! Ohh and the kettle needed cleaning!

The room is quite basic, typical of an economy hotel. However, the surrounding area has a lot to offer, including supermarkets, various restaurants, a cinema, and even a bowling alley. It's about a 1-1.5 kilometer walk to the city center, and there are also buses available.

Exactly what my friend and I were looking for, we were only in the city for 1 night for a concert so for what we needed it done us grand. Rooms are on the smaller side but if it's cheap and cheerful you're after then it does the job, was clean and tidy and no issues whatsoever and if you happen to be heading to the Hydro and taxi's/ubers are an issue at end of the night then, its about a 25min walk back to the hotel.
