Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel & Spa by IHG

My husband and I stayed here for two-nights during a recent 3-week trip throughout the United Kingdom and it was one our favorite places. From the warm welcome, delightful gin & tonic set-up waiting for us in our room, friendly staff, gorgeous setting, and helpful advice - it was all fantastic! Also apologies...it was a long trip and there were too many names to remember, so just know everyone there May 26-28th was amazing. :) After some stays in London that were far more "form over function" it was wonderful to be at a quietly confident establishment that felt like it knew what it was doing, including staff who had the time to interact with guests and seemed comfortable doing so. Indeed, staff at the Kimpton Blythswood displayed a delightful sense of humor, offered great suggestions (the concierge suggested Ben Nevis Pub for some traditional Scottish music, and we had the best time!), and made us want to return just to stay there again. Thank you!

My sister and I visited the hotel for a spa day and treatment and were excited after having looked on the website. The hotel itself is beautiful and had a lovely atmosphere. The spa was OK, but a little disappointing considering the cost. The spa facilities were a bit unloved - messy with robes and towels and empty glasses everywhere so we couldn’t sit down on any beds. The pool water was also unclean around the steps. At one point a staff member came to check the temperature of the water, walked past the mess, and didn’t tidy or mind it. The spa facilities and water were also SO warm. We had treatments, one was from Emma and we can’t remember the other therapists name, but both were exceptional (which is why we’ve rated 4 stars and not 3). Despite this, we wouldn’t return - it was overpriced and not a destination spa.

The bed was uncomfy, some of the facilities were unavailable and I wasn’t told before arriving.

Heel vriendelijk Zeer goede bedden en mooie ruime kamer

It’s a lovely hotel

Check in was at 3pm we got there at 3:15 and the room wasn’t ready had to wait till 3:45pm to get in. Went for breakfast in the morning they forgot my breakfast so my husband had ate all his by the time mines has came only after me asking where it was bit disappointing for a £53 breakfast no apologies or anything. Spa is lovely but could definitely do with a freshening up we paid just under £300 for one night stay wouldn’t say it’s worth that
