    Very over priced for whats on offer. Room was dated, lacked attention to detail cleanliness wise and just did not live up to expectations of the price tag. Public areas lacked lustre especially the entrance and what should be a focal point the old lift, was extremely dusty.

    Absolutely perfect for us. The bed was very comfortable, the couch made into a bed for our son. Everything was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

    I don’t like to write bad reviews but this time is an exception as the stay in the hotel was so bad. I usually like hotels in old buildings but this one really needs to be renovated. Very old rooms: bed smell, weak windows, no wifi connection, old carpet floor, broken walls…. When I told the reception guy (during late evening) that my room had a really strange smell, his only comment was “oh really”. We had to ask 5 (!!) times if we could get a new key card to enter the room, as the card was never working. This can’t happen in a 4 star hotel. Really bad value for money: we spent 250£ per night!! For this price I expect a much better construction and service. The only good part was the breakfast. I would not recommend this hotel, for us it was a waste of money.

    Hotel is run down, way overpriced, run down bathroom, rooms with no view - at a cost of 400/night. We wanted to leave our luggage at 10:30 because we needed to leave at 13:00 and they refused to take the luggage, because „we don’t guarantee to hold your luggage“ - they didn’t offer another solution like store it anywhere else - after heavy protest they took it and addrd „it might result in damage of your property“ - unfriendly, not customer centric, don’t go there

    More like 3* than 4. Bed uncomfortable but otherwise fine. Friendly staff. Breakfast not inc in room price and 20£ per person seems extortionate for bacon and eggs. One night was fine.

    Nice clean hotel in a great central location in the heart of Glasgow. Room was small but very comfortable and had everything we needed. Beautiful old building with vintage lift from the early 19 hundreds. Only thing that our stay down a little was the air conditioning wasn’t great, very stuffy night .

    I stayed 20-22/Sep, 2023. for business trip. 1. Service : Staff is very kind, impressive supporting 2. Place : Good (5-7minute to Buchan Station on walk) 3. Room : Comfortable, no noisy 4. Breakfast : Non buffet type, so a little takes time. If you do not have enough time in the morning, plz consider your schedule more. 5. Security : Excellent (receiption -> 1st security door --> 2nd security door, inside room safe box) 6. Overall : 4/5

    Very good hotel, clean, lots of history to the building especially the stairwell. All the rooms beyond the main stairwell require two doors to be unlocked before you're in the room so it felt very secure. Staff are all excellent, talkative and very personable, room was spotless as were the corridors. Breakfast was excellent and if it wasn't included I would have felt it was value for money. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel if you're going to Kelvingrove or the museums. It was a really nice, quiet trip and I'd recommend anyone stay here. If I was to nitpick, I think in a twin room the bathroom should have a lock.

    Stayed here on Saturday night with my partner and had an amazing experience. The hotel is in a prime city centre location with a car park literally across the road, the building itself is beautiful with an authentic Victorian feel to it, complete with lift with a manually operated cage. The staff at check in were friendly, polite, helpful and quick, the room was immaculate with an extremely comfortable bed, plenty of storage and very spacious. Didn't hear a sound all night so we both had a very restful sleep. Checkout was quick and smooth and were given the option to leave our bags at reception if we had to do any shopping or get lunch which I thought was a great touch. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be back in the future.

    Lovely stay at ABode with my family for my graduation. Great location, excellent service and super comfy beds! The breakfast was absolutely delicious and better than any breakfast I have experienced at a hotel.

  • 3/5 donovan p. 1 year ago on Google
    Our stay at the ABode was pleasant for the most part. The room wasn’t bad, freshly cleaned and a moderate size. The bathroom is quite small with a pretty narrow tub. You’ll hear the fire doors slamming throughout your stay. The hotel has a cute old school lift in the middle of it which is really unique to see. The breakfast was quite delicious and reasonably priced. I had to make a noise complaint to the front desk about people in our hallway being really loud all night and they came up and somewhat handled it.

    Great location and staff were pleasant. Room was comfortable, albeit small. Disappointed with the bathroom where the bath had rust and a mouldy bathmat, not what you expect from a 4 star hotel.

  • 5/5 Robert L. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice small hotel near the city center in Glasgow. Nice small restaurant that serves breakfast only. They have a lift so those with physical difficulties can maneuver. Rooms were small like most hotel rooms in Europe but clean and comfortable.

  • 4/5 Ruby S. 1 year ago on Google
    Strange set up in room. You have to do weird contortions to use bathroom, open wardrobe, use coffee maker, etc. Staff were friendly but the hotel is waaay understaffed. Our fan was out, which meant our loo was very swampy after showers, and unpleasant after ablutions. First, we were told no one from maintenance was working until the next day. The next day we were told they were trying to hire someone for maintenance. Beautiful building, lift, and stairs, but it's quirky and not in the best way.

    This hotel is shocking. The room was so small I struggled to put the iron board up, air con doesn’t work, open the window and you get all the road traffic noise. The bathroom is compact (Very compact). The bar has very little range, then we asked for a Gin and Tonic to be informed the ice machine is broken (no ice). At breakfast I asked for poached egg on toast to be informed it’s not on the menu, after a long wait. No staff on reception this morning… It’s so bad.

    The hotel is a bit quirky, some parts of the architecture are stunning and some of the more recent additions are showing signs of wear They are clearly trying to do things the correct way. Parking garage across the road is very handy, it's payable but the hotel offer a discount at reception. Nice room (Superior) , huge high ceilings, the air con was best just turned off, but it was October. A slightly dated bathroom probably the only part that needs updating but everything functional and clean. Breakfast in the morning was superb and is what leaves the lasting impression that I'd recommend the Abode to anyone needing to stay in Central Glasgow.

    Very nice hotel with a massive room and a neat 30s style gated elevator. The bar could have had a less corporate selection and the room smelled a bit of smoke but other than that it was a good night!

  • 4/5 Alison S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent staff on reception and very helpful. We made a complaint about the lack of provision of a proper breakfast and they were very understanding and professional. Lovely and comfortable big room. Bathroom not the best and the sloping bath could be a little dangerous. A walk-in shower would probably be better. No mineral water in the room which was surprising and disappointing. The old lift is delightful. Overall, highly recommended although the bar could offer more Scottish whiskies! We are in Scotland after all!!

  • 5/5 john s. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent and courteous staff rooms are spotless and spacious. Do not understand the bad reviews will definitely be back and a carpark opposite with a discount from the hotel.

  • 5/5 Paul C. 1 year ago on Google
    This hotel has a central location. Lots of friendly staff the bedrooms are good size and the hotel bar was also lively Patrick the bar man and Struan & Margarita who where always around and available with great advice and knowledge of where to go around Glasgow and this part of town.

  • 5/5 Chris K. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely rooms although the bathrooms are a bit basic and could do with being updated to match the styling of everything else. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

  • 3/5 M. O. 1 year ago on Google
    The hotel was nice but disappointed for the priced paid. The room was big because it was the disability one. The lights weren't working, the shower wasn't draining the water and the hotel didn't provide us closed rooms. We are a family and one room was on the ground floor and the other one in the 2nd floor.

    Very good experience in the hotel, service and location. It was very hot on the hallway room, i couldn't sleep at all.. AC was not working, one small window facing back of the building didn't help and the Dyson also didn't help. Couldn't rest at all, hopefully they fix the AC next time other than that it would've been a perfect experience.
