The staff were so nice to us, we brought our dog last minute and that was seamless, jus paid £10 and she was welcomed and fussed over. When I arrived to check in I explained I had come down with the cold and asked if the room had a bath, they moved us around to a different room to make sure I could have a soak in the tub, were super friendly and thoughtful. The room was lovely and location excellent for us going to see a show at the Kings Theatre along the road.

Great city centre location, easy walking distance to main shopping areas & queens square train station. Could walk to OVO & SEC on a decent day, but due to heavy rain we didn’t and got taxi. Ordered via hotel waited no longer than 5 mins and was £10. Room was spacious 2 double beds, toilet separate from Bathroom, great idea! Room was warm in night. Never had breakfast but did order pizza one night, delicious if a bit expensive. Front desk staff all very very friendly, welcoming and helped us with lots of questions. Would definitely stay again if In Glasgow

Staff were welcoming and helpful and a nice bar area. However the rooms are very dated, chipped furniture, grubby carpets and the toilet 'cupboard'. My husband couldn't even close the door when using the toilet. Lovely shower but added to a dated bathroom.

Terrible drain smell in reception. Lifts weren’t working all the time. Room was neglected, stayed there for 2 nights, had to prompt them to clean the room and all they did was put clean towels, nothing else.
Room was freezing too, had to get a heater out!?
Also the hotel is hosting AS, whilst that’s great, it should be mentioned to guests before booking.

It was all quite basic and dated. Both the shower and the sink didn’t drain, a few lights didn’t work. Limited plug sockets. We could hear the person next door snoring all night and then playing very loud music from 6am due to a door in the room, which presumably if unlocked would join the rooms together. However, the location was good, it was clean and the staff were nice.

Close to Theatre, friendly staff, ok room

Although they have notices up to warn clients there are renovation works in progress, I wasn’t expecting a workman to just let himself into my room! (thankfully I was fully clothed!) I didn’t request 3 beds in the room & it was a bit tight to squeeze past the wall to get into the double, (room is not big enough for double & twin combo). Bed was ok, not the most comfortable. Toilet separate to washroom/shower, very old, scruffy and in need of this upgrade. Car park in the basement was really useful (£8)
Staff were lovely & helpful.
Overall for one night, 5min walking distance to The Kings Theatre, I would stay here again, but ask for a more suitable room (hopefully a renovated one!)

Room was spotless. Staff were very friendly. Great location for shops and the theatre. Lovely family room. Great breakfast. If we had one complaint it would be the price of the alcohol. £11 for a glass of wine is a bit excessive. We get that it's city prices and the hotel is of a high standard but that's just too pricey. We decided to go out rather than pay that price. We also spent the rest of the time in our room having bought a bottle of wine for a lot less money. We would've preferred to drink in the hotel but not at that price. Such a shame. None the less we enjoyed our stay.

Room was very good, bathroom was nice (though the partition seemed like it should be longer to avoid splashing out). Beds were comfortable.
No air conditioning (we were there during a heat wave), though the window does open slightly.

Reception staff were fantastic at answering my many questions, specifically about parking. Street parking is free from 6pm to 8am. There are a few spaces in the hotel garage - only about 15 though (8 GBP for 24 hours), and a nearby city parking garage they can provide a discount for (we were parking in it for about 26 hours for about 15 GBP) was a 5 minute walk.

Recommend the Slouch Bar around the corner for some late-night food or drinks too!

Staff friendly, check in was slow with computer fault, room was bit dated, not many power points. Did not eat in hotel, but bar staff were very nice and efficient. On morning we were leaving I came back to room to find it being cleaned and had to ask for towel to shower, not fault of cleaner who was working hard but to no avail as it would need to be cleaned again! Last time I stayed(9 years) I was wowed, but unfortunately just an ok this time!

Standard Novotel. Needs a refresh. No A/C in the rooms; there was a small desk fan but very cheap quality that made really loud noise because of the cheap mechanism / age. No fridge or ice machines … very rough for a summer in Scotland. Breakfast spread was pretty good though.

Expected better from a four star hotel. The room was dated in many ways and had one plug point we could use. There was no air-conditioning and it was too hot on a not particularly warm day. The windows opened but then you'd have the noise of Glasgow city centre, so you had to make a decision if you were going to be kept awake by noise or the heat.

We have stayed at the Novotel Glasgow numerous times. Breakfast - has gone downhill, items only luke warm, coffee m/c is a nightmare to use. Defo not worth the cost. Parking - now taken over by an independent company, so charged per day & per exit, previously only be per exit. Bus party arrived when we arrived back to go & get ready for dinner, had to wait 30mins to use the lifts.

Hotel is nice, perfectly situated for the city centre, only 5 minutes from The Kings Theatre. The underground carpark is a massive bonus and at only £8 a day is a bargain.
The room was large but a bit basic and no sockets beside the beds which is a bit annoying, also the room was very warm and only a fan to cool it but because the sockets are one the other side of the room, it renders it pretty pointless.
Other than that the room was fine.
The bar area is nice, with a decent selection.

A modern reasonably priced hotel

The hotel was difficult to get to with the many one way streets surrounding it. An accident and road closure made it impossible. A fabulous HR lady really helped us and directed us through an alternative narrow lane. The room was spacious and clean. It was a pity the kitchen closed very early and so only pizzas were available to us when we wanted to eat.

It took 40 min to check in because they said my Expedia reservation is not in the system. Then all of a sudden it was. The colleague traveling with me was given a card key for a room already occupied by another person.

The hotel was within walking distance to the main shopping atras in Buchannon street and St Georges square. Plenty of choice og restaurants nearby. I wouldnt recommend it if you have trouble walking ad yhe area id very hilly. Our family was ok but didnt have any sockets behind or near the beds so wr haf to request an extension lead for my daughter's Cpap machine. The toilet is separate to the bathroom but doesnt have a wash hand basin. Our tea/ coffee and milk wasn't \"topped up\" so we had to go to reception to ask for more , we stayed 3 nights. Breakfast was good with adequate choices, staff need to check more frequently though when food was running low e.g eggs. Overall, we had a lovely weekend and would stay here again.

The roadworks on the student flats are annoying and can be loud in the morning but this is a really good budget hotel in glasgow. We will be back in a couple of weeks for the partners graduation stay, se you again soon Novotel
