Great but room too hot

Well placed hotel, looks good and service was great. The only downside was the temperature in the room as it was far too hot, there wasn't any air-conditioning and the one window wasn't sufficient to cool it down.

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!

Okay!

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!

Disliked: Amenities
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.
