The thing that made my stay so excellent, aside from the facility itself, was the staff. In particular, Amy and Gavin were exceptionally helpful and kind. Thank you so much for all your help and kindness. Truly appreciated.

Got a good deal on this but did not know access to VIP lounge restricted and was at time when we were at theatre. No flexibility on check in unless you pay. Staff friendly and helpful, clean and restaurant looked nice although we didn’t get to use it.

Really enjoyed this property, other than the lack of parking. We found the closest place to park was at Buchanan Galleries at over £20/night. This is a 2 block walk to the hotel. Not a big deal dragging your luggage down the hill if you are able bodied, but the walk back up was a little more daunting. The hotel itself is worth it. The staff at check-in were friendly and kind. The hotel and room decor is authentic Scottish style, we found the free mini bar and spirits cabinet very quaint, and the hotel is within easy walking distance of fantastic shopping, culture and dining options. The breakfast is a can’t miss at this hotel! Not only is the food and wait staff amazing, but the view from the rooftop balcony at Windows Restaurant might make some of your favourite photos from your trip!

excellent staff

Went in early to drop our bags off and got offered an early check in for £10. Nice and clean but not a great view from the executive rooms. Apparently the club rooms have a. better view. Made use of the lounge for a wee snack and some soft drinks before heading out into Glasgow. We'd booked drinks in the lounge from 1700-1930 so headed back for then. There was an assortment of drinks and snacks available and you just help yourself to whatever you want. Breakfast was excellent, and check out was simple with them offerimng to keep our bags until we were heading to the station to go home again. We will no doubt be back.

The Carlton George exceeded our expectations. My husband said it reminded him of old Las Vegas, but in a good way. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed, the location is fantastic (in the City Centre, 2 minutes from the Queen Street Station), and the staff was excellent - particularly Amy, Gavin, Patrick, and Connor (?) in the evening.

One star for location and one star for the delightful Amy on reception but unfortunately that is it. Room was tired with worn/damaged furniture, dark/dingy, overpowering smell of bleach in bathroom which in fact seemed to hide the somewhat funky smell which appeared once the bleach died down, peeling wallpaper in places and wardrobe door hanging off. Pillows on bed where so flat they were not fit for purpose and it took 3 requests and 24 hours for additional pillows to be sourced, thanks to Amy for saving my neck from more pain. I really wanted to like this hotel but the price point of a 4 star was totally out of line with what we received so we left disappointed. It's understandable that eventually rooms need to be refurbished but until that happens then the price should reflect the below par accommodation.
