Had a great stay here earlier in the year. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff were extremely friendly. Centrally located and being next to the Central Station and within 10 minute walk to Buchanan Street bus station, its ideal for traveling around Scotland. We would definitely stay here again. Also you do not hear any noise from the trains from Central. 15 Minute walk to the Merchant City and lots of restaurants nearby.

It’s a stunning historical hotel in a great location. But what makes Grand Central stand out is the staff! Viki at a reception was an absolute star, going well and beyond to make my group feel right at home. Christie the manager was super accommodating and nothing felt like a bother. Other hotels should learn from this one!

Great experience at this hotel, wished we booked it for our arrival into Glasgow but only booked it for our last night. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, clean and well maintained. We were particularly pleased with the wide corridors which was helpful for my mum who uses a wheelchair. Also they are dog friendly which was great for us too, and they didn't charge us extra. Would stay here again if we come back to Glasgow, super convenient to the station with a direct entrance.

Very convenient and clear instructions for parking , need walk a bit in station but still good. Room is clean just a bit dark , if can set up more light will be much better , breakfast if including no extra cost it is ok but if need to pay better drop it

The room was big, although a little strangely laid out, but nice and clean. Importantly, there was no minibar/empty mini fridge (we always put water or other drinks in the fridge so we missed this). The real issues were with service: we had many small issues that accumulated. Staff were usually really friendly, but were incredibly slow to answer on the phone (if they answered at all). The first 3 days we were there, we got breakfast to the room and all 3 times things were missing. We are diamond elite members of IHG and had the option to have breakfast included, which we chose. Despite this, we were repeatedly asked to pay for breakfast. We had to tell them to check that we had indeed had breakfast included each time, only after the first time this happened did we got an apology, none after. We called reception the last night (getting an answer very late) asking for some bowls and cutlery (specifically forks, knives and spoons). It took almost 20 minutes and a second call for anything to arrive, despite our room being near storage for housekeeping (which also meant a lot of noise especially quite early in the morning; something to consider if you’re a light sleeper). In the end, they forgot the spoons, but at that point, we felt it was too late to ask for some (fearing as well that we would have to wait another 20 minutes and perhaps have to give another call as well). The location is very central and very convenient especially if you come into central station and the rooms are comfortable, but the many small issues which had accumulated had a noticeable impact on the quality of our stay which unfortunately was also affected by repairs and technical malfunctions throughout: we weren’t sure if the AC was working properly (with constant flashing having to be covered up so that we could sleep), the lifts were often out of service and for half of our stay there were repairs/cleaning being done to chandeliers overlooking the stairwell which meant a large area being cordoned off, a tarp covering most of the chandelier, and a bit of a smell in that area. Overall, comfortable room, but the rest was lacking severely.
