Nice hotel in central location of Glasgow

Great central location and staff were friendly - doorman David was particularly helpful and kind. The hotel is nicely designed though only minor downside was felt spa area could have been a bit better maintained e.g. cleanliness (tissue in pool) and corridors were a bit flooded and though hotels fault per se, people kept mixing up robes. The rooms are nice and spacious and the stocked complimentary mini bar was a nice touch. Although we never got the chance for the hotels drinks offer we heard about it plenty from other guests who enjoyed it. We did use the gym which is ok but one machine (stair stepper) did not work and worth noting there is no treadmill. Overall a comfortable stay

Checkout the check in!

The stay was marred by the room air conditioning not working properly and the room being too hot , and a check in experience that was the worst I had ever experienced. There was a mix up between the hotel and Hotel.com over payment and the hotel asked me to pay again! I supplied them, as asked with the receipt from hotel.com and my bank statement showing the payment to Hotel.com. But 4 hours later they had not been in contact to say it had been resolved so I contacted Hotel.com on the app and they were brilliant and managed to clear it up with the hotel after my enquiry was escalated when the hotel didn’t answer the phone. I tried to contact reception myself and the phone rang without being answered for 5 mins. On going down to reception they apologised and said they were busy. The agent for hotel.com phoned me to confirm all had been resolved, great service! The Kimpton were all smiles and said sorry but did nothing for 4 hours , poor service from a supposedly top Glasgow hotel. The spa was lovely and service at the bar and breakfast slightly made up for the terrible experience.

Overnight couples stay

Booked the blythswood hotel as a treat for my partner and have been looking forward to it for months. Staff were very accommodating, the room was stunning and the spa was excellent. Service could have been slightly better. Ordered room service - they forgot items from our order. For breakfast the food wasn’t great - ordered poached eggs which when arrived were hard boiled. They then offered fresh eggs which took around 15 minutes to arrive. Ordered toast with our breakfast which arrived more than 3/4 of the way through our meal. It seemed as though there were issues at most tables which is a shame.

For the price its fairly overpriced to be fair. The cleanliness of the spa itself is poor the steam room is dirty most people walked back out. The headboard in the room looks like its never been dusted 🙄 The staff were exceptional top service.

Staff are always very good but it’s lost a little of its charm and maybe isn’t quite as relaxed as it used to be. Leisure suite can only be used at strict times otherwise it’s £70 to use it per person.

5 Star Luxury in Glasgow City Centre

Absolute perfect hotel for a 2 night break in Glasgow. It was 5 minutes down the hill to the city centre so no need for taxis. The breakfast was lovely, staff were attentive and the jacuzzi bath looking into the bedroom was fab! Residents can use the spa early in the morning and between 5-8pm at night. It was good just putting on the dressing robe in the bedroom and heading to the spa without taking changing bags. Spa area was lovely and warm. Only minor negative was that a couple of the experience rooms in the spa area were out of order. All in all definitely a 5 star stay.

Weekend in Glasgow.

Beautiful hotel in great location. Lovely staff, especially the concierges/doormen. Super spa. Bikes to borrow, too. Quiet bedroom. All excellent. One minor problem - bedroom doors shut with a bang which might be a nuisance to some.
