4-Star Hotels in Glasgow

I had a truly exceptional stay at Hotel Indigo Glasgow and felt compelled to share my experience because the level of service genuinely exceeded my expectations in ways I could hardly imagine. My check-in experience was incredibly seamless thanks to Erin. Having previously worked in a five-star hotel in St Andrews, I am very familiar with hospitality standards and how hotels usually operate. In many luxury properties, early check-in is rarely guaranteed. Guests are often asked to wait until the official check-in time, sometimes even until 4 pm depending on availability. I arrived at the hotel around 8 am after a long journey and thought I would simply ask, just in case. I had absolutely no expectation that a room would be available that early. To my surprise, Erin managed to arrange a room for me immediately, and there was no additional charge. I was sincerely grateful, as I had meetings to attend and it would have been very inconvenient to go into the office carrying a suitcase and backpack with my laptop and work materials. What stood out even more was Erin’s attentiveness. When I mentioned that I required a pet-free room due to allergies, she took the time to acknowledge this and explain how the hotel manages rooms for guests with allergies. I genuinely felt listened to, understood, and supported — never judged or dismissed. The cleanliness of the room was also excellent. Everything was immaculate, from the bathroom to the bedding and surfaces. As someone who pays close attention to hotel standards due to my own hospitality background, I could immediately see that the housekeeping team maintains a very high level of care — something that even some luxury five-star hotels occasionally fall short on. The room felt fresh, comfortable, and extremely well prepared. Later that evening when I returned to the hotel, I was assisted by Mark. Again, based on my previous experience in hospitality, I know that late check-outs in many hotels typically come with additional fees — often £24 for 1 pm, £48 for 2 pm, and sometimes up to £60–£100 for a 4 pm checkout. I asked for a late checkout expecting that, if I was lucky, it might be extended to 1 pm. However, Mark was very helpful and kindly extended it to 2 pm, which gave me plenty of time and was something I truly appreciated. Mark also assisted me in signing up for the rewards programme, and shortly afterwards I received the confirmation email. It really showed how organised, helpful, and considerate the front office team is. Another moment that really impressed me happened the following day. I briefly left the hotel before checkout and accidentally left my ID and wallet in the room. When I returned, Erin immediately recognised me from the day before. She confirmed my full name and email address and then extended my key card until 2 pm so I could access my room. Erin explained that normally the policy requires ID for that type of request, but on this occasion she used verbal confirmation because she remembered me from check-in the day before. 🩷 That level of attentiveness and professionalism is rare. It showed that the service was not simply about following procedures or ticking boxes, but about creating a genuine sense of comfort for guests and leaving a lasting impression. In all my interactions with Erin, she was enthusiastic, friendly, and supportive. The entire experience made the hotel feel welcoming and almost like a home rather than just a place to stay. Erin and Mark are a real credit to the team, and the service I experienced here honestly exceeded what I have seen in many luxury hotels. I would absolutely recommend Hotel Indigo Glasgow and will gladly stay again, especially as I will be travelling to Glasgow frequently over the next eight months.

My stay started very well but ended up being quite disappointing. On the first day, we were assigned an excellent room. The layout was well designed, with the kitchen located near the entrance, while the bedroom and bathroom were separated further inside. The room also featured a large floor-to-ceiling window facing outside, providing plenty of natural light. At first glance, everything seemed perfect. Unfortunately, when we tried to take a shower, we discovered that the water pressure in the bathroom was extremely low. It was so poor that even the toilet could not flush properly. We waited for maintenance staff for more than 30 minutes, but the issue was not resolved. A room change was only arranged after we repeatedly requested it. The replacement room was a major downgrade. Unlike the original room, it had no outward-facing window and instead overlooked an internal courtyard. For privacy reasons, we had to keep the curtains closed most of the time. Even on sunny days, very little natural light entered the room, making the space feel dark and depressing. The apartment is located close to the railway line, and being on a lower floor made the situation worse. Train vibrations and noise were clearly noticeable, while constant water-flow noise from upper floors could be heard throughout the day and night. The overall experience became quite uncomfortable. The location itself is convenient, with easy access to the city centre and shopping streets. However, there were frequently groups of unemployed or suspicious-looking individuals around the building entrance. On several occasions, we also noticed people wearing face coverings and individuals who appeared to be targeting passers-by, which raised concerns about personal safety. Overall, the first room showed that the property has the potential to provide an excellent stay. However, the severe plumbing issue, the poor replacement room, the noise problems, and the surrounding security concerns significantly affected our experience.

I stayed for 1 night, The room was spacious and clean, and the shower was great. We wouldn't recommend the breakfast as it was buffet style so we didn't know how long it was sitting out for. Also quite tasteless. The hotel is lovely and quite central, staff friendly.

The room is nice, clean and cozy. Good for solo traveler cuz I’m afraid of staying in massive room just by myself. Breakfast is alright continental breakfast you can expect. Gym you cannot expect too much. But being able to watch live football in the lobby is a vibe during World Cup period.

What a warm welcome we always receive at this hotel hundred percent welcome and excellent members of staff . Good food.set up is very accommodating. Pool facilities so relaxing.

Excellent location, superbly clean, delicious breakfast, friendly staff, all amenities one could think of. What else is required. I travell a lot and this one is one of my favourite.😊😊😃😃

The Marriott Hotel has updated the rooms to a good standard. However the bathroom has not been updated and was very poor with various areas dirty. (See photos). Also the shower screen did not close meaning lots of water was spilled onto the floor when taking a shower. One of the bath towels in the room had a hole in it. Other small things were that there is only one chair in the room meaning my wife had to sit on the bed. Also only one tea spoon in the room. This is not what I would expect from a Marriott Hotel!

This was the best value-for-money hotel we've stayed at in the UK. The room had ceilings over 4 meters high, was spacious, and featured a super king-size bed with a perfectly balanced mattress and high-thread-count, comfortable bedding. The blackout curtains were excellent, much better than many other hotels. The service was also very good. Highly recommended! Our only minor hiccup was when we drove onto the street and saw a sign saying 'authorised vehicles only,' which made us a bit nervous. We didn't dare unload our luggage right away and had to drive around the block, which was a bit of a hassle. Otherwise, everything was great, and it was lovely to take a stroll nearby after dinner. The breakfast was significantly better than what you'd typically find at a standard budget chain. However, a friend in another room I booked did complain about low water pressure in the shower.

Excellent location, right across Glasgow Central train station. We arrived in the evening and due to overbooked situation for our room category that we booked, we were allocated a smaller room for 1st night. However, Rachel at the reception was very friendly and apologetic and on goodwill, extended 2 breakfast for us. The next day we moved into the room type we booked which was much much more spacious than the we stayed earlier.

We stayed during Christmas season and there was a Xmas market next door. The hotel is spacious and all the necessary facilities, including kitchen and washing machine are provided.
