Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow

Because of a train delay I got to the hotel much later than planned. After 2am in fact. Despite this I was quickly admitted to the hotel and warmly greeted despite the unsociable time. They explained a slightly complicated lift function to my tired brain and remained smiling. I was delighted with the room. It has a great view over the station and complimentary hot chocolate, as well as tea and coffee options. There was a great array of hot and cold choices at breakfast and perfectly prepared porridge.

The location was excellent — right in the city centre yet still quiet enough for a good night’s sleep. We were able to walk everywhere without needing public transport, which was very convenient. The lovely welcome card was a thoughtful touch. The Nespresso machine and tea pot were nice touches and much appreciated. The bed was comfortable, and the availability of different pillow types was a thoughtful detail. The breakfast spread was generous and a great way to start the day.

Radisson Blu is a large and modern hotel well located near Central Station in Glasgow. The immediate area exhibits pockets of homeless people yet conversely streets of luxury shopping. It is a safe location and close to several family related activities. The room was very large and comfortable with air conditioning and lifts. It is also very quiet. The ensuite is also quite large with an excellent walk in shower. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. The television is too small for this type of hotel and does not provide or support streaming services. The TV channels often pixelated which is unsatisfactory. The breakfast was plentiful and varied particularly with healthy fruit options. Staff were always friendly and helpful.

Family room with bunks. Perfect for 2 night stay. Staff were on it! We arrived late at night after midnight on train. Short walk to the hotel and the staff knew who we were and what we needed had the room ready to go. Very quick. We hadn’t booked breakfast but were advised cheaper (£12pp) to let them know the night before. Vs (£17) in the morning. Kids eat free. Breakfast was a small but solid selection and perfect for getting going.we were able to get GF toast and fried eggs off menu, porridge etc. fresh squeezed orange juice was a lovely touch as well as the smoothies. 9am on weekends seems to be peak time and rather busy but we always got a table and staff were able to keep refresh up. We had day trips planned to arran and Edinburgh so this made the start to the day easy. Honestly we felt very welcomed and small touches like room refresh and new water replaced daily made a world of difference. There js a fridge in the room - which these days isn’t a given and makes the world of difference when travelling with children. We have stayed in a lot of the hotels in Glasgow and can safely say this experience will have us coming back over other hotels that are nearby.

Decor was lovely and the whole hotel clean and welcoming. Comfy bed and good facilities in the rooms. Shower spacious and good power. The ice machine near the lifts was great to have. Breakfast was fantastic with so many options and great quality of food, the best breakfast I've had out of the many hotels I've stayed in glasgow.
