Guest Reviews
- Stephen (10/5): Five stars for staff and comfort - Stayed at this hotel as was attending a wedding across the road at the citation venue found the Brunswick be excellent value and right in the centre of town very clean and very accommodating
- BRIAN (8/5): - Very clean. Excellent large television! Compact room was a bit small, but you get what you pay for!
- Lynne (10/5): - Was a nice clean room
- Glenda (8/5): - This accommodation is located in a central area of Glasgow with walking access to all sites. The room was large easily accommodating two people. Service was excellent from reception.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Room condition was not great and the smell in the hallway was awful. Window looked out onto a brick wall and dirty glass panel. I understand the rooms are getting improved but no apology for the condition or smell.
- Kristen (6/5): - So so hotel.
- Glenn (6/5): - .
- Irene (6/5): Functional - Functional! Room and bathroom were small, but comfortable and clean. Not much staff interaction. Bag storage facility was poor - just a corner in a corridor. Check in time is 3pm, with no concessions made. We arrived at 2pm, and understood our bags would be taken to our room when it was ready but they were still in tbe corridor when we returned at 11.30pm.
- Nicholas (10/5): - Excellent location close to main shopping and dining area. A very short walk away from George Square and St. Enoch Centre. Very close and within walking distance from train and bus stations.
- Irene (6/5): - Hotel itself was fine. However, I booked it specifically because it said it has accessible parking and it does not. ALL parking is in a Q-parking place 5 mins walk away and needs to be paid for. My husband had to make multiple trips to the car because of needing to push me in the chair. Staff were not apologetic, blaming Expedia for the confusion rather than accepting any responsibility. Very disappointing.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Sometimes you get what you pay for. This was a small room without temperature controls so the window needed to be open. However the room was located over a bar so it was quite noisy until late. The receptionist was very nice and helpful.
- Kelly (10/5): - Friendly staff, very welcoming. Clean bright room
- kristina (8/5): - Clean but small room. Staff was super friendly, great walking distance to everything! Loved how the amsterdam bar was attached downstairs. Only downfall is that you can hear the pub from our room window. Would classify this hotel for a younger crowd.
- Alexander (8/5): - Friendly staff. Great location fantastic price
- Antoinette (8/5): - Convenient to where I needed to be
- scott (10/5): Excellent - Clean and tidy.
- Audrey (8/5): - Basic accommodation - good value for the price and beds were spotlessly clean
- Jesse acheampong (10/5): - Great hotel, stayed 2 days it was lovely. Deffo recommend
- Kathleen (10/5): Night away - Staff where absolutely brilliant very friendly room was small but just what you need for one night
- Tina (6/5): - The property had a fold out couch, but no linen to use it. There was a hair dryer in our room, but it didn’t work and they didn’t have any extras.
- Pamela (8/5): - Hotel was in great location. Exceptionally clean..beds comfortable. A bit noisy out front at night but it was big football final!!!! Would not put us off returning... Impressed
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good stay - Centrally placed and perfect for a short trip to Glasgow without any special need for luxiurous accomodation.
- Kristina (6/5): - The bar and bar service were very good room was to small tv was to small no fridge or even a microwave bed very uncomfortable but over all it was alright
- Bruce (10/5): Good located and clean hotel - Very good location and hotel, our room was compact but had everything you needed. Only really used it to sleep and ideal to enjoy Glasgow for a night or 2
- Verified traveler (6/5): Mange your expectations and it’ll be ok - We made the best of it as it was only a place to sleep after a wedding across the road at Citation. The staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. We had a compact room (all that was available at time of booking) which would not be suitable for anyone on the larger side as you had to side step round the bed and duck under the tv on the wall to get to the other side of the bed. The shower cubicle was tight and there was more water spraying out the sides of the shower head than where it should have meaning the whole bathroom got soaked. A new shower bread would solve this but it looks like they tried to fix it unsuccessfully. The walls could do with a fresh coat of paint/deep clean and the bedding was bobbled.
- Sergio Perez (2/5): - Didn’t like anything about this place
- Kirsten (6/5): - Room was clean and service good but very noisy.
- Christina (8/5): - Whilst my son enjoyed his stay it was slightly marred by some not so considerate guests, who had clearly been drinking and were knocking on other guests doors and making a lot of noise .
- Lewis (10/5): Stylish hotel in a trendy location - I visited this hotel during Celtic Connections and was very impressed. Staff were super friendly and helpful, despite not being super expensive the rooms are far nicer than your average hotel and the adjoining Amsterdam Bar/Restaurant is very stylish with an excellent selection of normal and craft lagers. Also the location is perfect if you are planning to go out in the Merchant City in Glasgow. Would highly recommend!
- M (10/5): Great location, clean and friendly hotel - Staff extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is quite tight in layout but has everything you need and you really can't ask for more for the price! The bathroom was brand new and the room was very clean. Would definitely recommend, the location is great. Parking is either NCP or street parking which is limited but you can get lucky, then you don't pay for overnight after 8pm
- Susan (8/5): - As a basic overnight stay hotel, this ticks all the boxes. Staff are very friendly and it is a good base for shopping or city centre.
- Marie (10/5): will stay again - Quick overnight stay. Liz at reception couldn't do enough for us. Happy with double room booked. Small issue with T.V remote missing and we were very surprised but happy to have our room upgraded. Have never used this hotel before but very handy for the areaof town we were visiting.
- Caroline (10/5): A wee Glesga gem!! - Fantastic stay. We were warmly welcomed and throughout our stay The hotel has signs that is undergoing refurb, however didn’t affect our stay or enjoyment!! Staff were friendly and knowledgeable We wil be back
- Simon (10/5): - Really nice little hotel. Perfect location in the City Centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bar next door had a great atmosphere. Would have no hesitation in recommending.
- Diane (8/5): Good - It served the purpose of that night
- Florence (10/5): - For what I paid for my stay this hotel was spot on clean fresh and very comfy would definitely stay here again
- John (10/5): Excellent all round stay. - Great hotel for a city visit, easy walking distance to Barrowlands. Great price, great room in a great area (Merchant City). Fantastic bar next door to hotel with excellent service and superb range of craft beers n spirits.
- Gary (10/5): Attended concert in glasgow - Good clean room good access to centre of glasgow..will use again
- Roseann (10/5): Fab place to stay in city centre - Stay here all the time, staff are fab and rooms are spotless. Great location in city centre.
- Mark Charles (10/5): - Staff were very helpful, room was slightly dated but the beds were extremely comfy and the location is fantastic! Would recommend this hotel for friends travelling for a weekend in Glasgow! :)
- Matt (8/5): Handy weekender - It is a decent hotel for a few days away. Clean and neat.
- Allen (10/5): - Very central with wide choice of restaurants nearby. Room clean and freshly decorated. Easy walk to city centre. Room was small but adequate, over warm and window opening restricted so no airflow. View of brick wall and slate roof. Staff friendly and obliging.
- Marie (10/5): Lush warm room - Great only thing was as a disabled person shower floor very slippy and had to use towels to stand on which weren't changed for us
- Kara (10/5): Great hotel and service - Great experience, hotel was clean and modern. Very central too.
- Jane (10/5): Good value - Need some air conditioning had to ask for a fan
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The shower head does not move so when you have a shower the spray doesn’t come over you bit disappointed. Apart from that hotel in a good place handy for bars and restaurants so next time am in Glasgow will book this hotel again
- martin (6/5): A few days - We were aware that improvements were underway. The bed was comfy and cleaning staff did their job well. The was smaller than expected for a standard double. Shower needs grab rail and place for toiletries. Hard to open the window. Noisey one night with loud guests and street life Wouldnt rush bsck. Rm 101
- Dale (10/5): - Very friendly staff - great room in the heart of a great city
- Mark (8/5): A comfortable city centre stay - The hotel is well situated and well run with comfortable basic clean rooms. My stay was marred in the first night by some very noisy residents. However the hotel reacted well to my complaint and offered a free night’s stay to compensate. I would stay again.
- RAYMOND (6/5): - Hotel was ok room clean bar staff not very friendly more interested in dancing than serving
- Stewart (8/5): - Good city centre location and on a pedestrian street
- Linda (10/5): Peace - Great break from kids lol
- Nicole (10/5): - Was a fun night.
- LM (4/5): - Room was small and compact, not as nice as in the pictures. Was not very clean, in the shower room there was a build up of dirt/dust/grime in the corners especially behind the door. The toilet and basin were clean though. My bedding had a stain on it. I was only there for one night and had originally booked as i was taking part in an event the followinf day so needed somewhere relatively cheap to stay the night before. I would not recommend this place for anything other than a cheap centrally located bed, which waa fine if you're not planning on spending any time in the room.
- Richard (8/5): Central location. Basic - In good location lots of bars and resturants around and near the city centre. Rooms where small. Could have been cleaner but was ok. Good for short stay.
- David (10/5): - Welcome and check-in fine. No problem. Room fine. All ok .
- Alisha (10/5): Great stay! - Fantastic trip - great bar next door (with 10% off during stay) but room still peaceful. Friendly and helpful staff and lovely room. Spacious with beautiful bathroom and they even upgraded our room for free :) will definitely be staying here again on our next trip - perfect central location, too.
- Laura (6/5): Pay the extra money for a better hotel - We ended up having to upgrade to the best room in the hotel which was average at best. Cheap and good location but wouldn’t stay again
- Linda (10/5): Covid break from kids - Quick break ..nice room
- Paul (8/5): - Nice wee hotel in a great location
- Anthony (8/5): Small room - Room was a bit cramped. Not much space to move or even walk around the bed.
- Craig (10/5): Nice night away - Very friendly staff, good central location, value for money and the fact its joined to a pub is a massive bonus. Hotel adhered well to social distancing rules, will be back
- p (4/5): Poor - Low quality, poor condition hotel
- Helvijs (6/5): Not great probably won’t stay again. - The place is very dirty! Walls are dirty, bathroom curtain is moldy. Noisy from bar and window doesn’t open.
- Thomas (10/5): - Great room and location at an excellent price!
- Scott (6/5): Okay but in need of some improvements - Pictures looked great when booking, but was disappointed with the standard of the room for what was paid. I understand at this time the hotel is being renovated. A few positives, the staff are really nice and the beds are comfortable. Also good to note that they had covid information cards in the rooms. There is also a bar downstairs which was very reasonable. Negatives are, bathroom was small and had a damp smell. Also the shower area had what looked like mould on some tiles. The room window was also awkward to open and looked like tape had been used at somepoint to hold it. I was offered a room swap but as I was only there one night and already out for dinner I didn't take up this offer.
- marie (8/5): - Room was very clean, but small. Staff very helpful and made us feel very welcome
- Chloe (10/5): - Room was spotless. Would definitely stay again.
- Lesley (10/5): - Brilliant service
- Kevin (10/5): Brilliant overnight stay. - Great location and King room was huge! Very clean rooms.
- Julie (6/5): - Didn’t use it but liked that the bar was right at the entrance. Quirky how compact everything is but this did mean our room was incredibly small. Would not be suitable for anyone with a physical disability due to all rooms being on upper floors and not much room for manoeuvering. Excellent, helpful staff
- Chris (4/5): Disappointed - Room was dirty toilet seat not stable view from windows which did not close properly was a brick wall
- Alan (10/5): Great stay - Friendly staff, great bar, decent rooms. Will always try and book here, on future Glasgow trips. So much more appealing than the corporate blandness of Premier Inn etc,
- Chris (10/5): Great Staff and Service - There was a bit of an issue with the first room we were given, however, when I alerted staff they upgraded us very quickly to a much better double room on the top floor which was very clean and in great condition! Would definitely recommend.
- Hannah (10/5): Lovely hotel - Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location to the centre, great price.
- George (8/5): Comfortable and convenient location - Perfectly fine for one night. Bed comfortable. Little unusual that the door had an old style analogue key. But small detail. Overall would recommend
- Verified traveler (8/5): - After a slow start waiting at reception for nearly 10 minutes to check in, which the receptionist was apologetic for on her return, everything else was great. The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in for a hotel, had the best sleep! Room lovely and clean and bathroom facilities perfect.
- Heather (8/5): A little disappointed... - The actual bedroom part of the room was lovely and the staff were great but the bathroom was definitely not as pictured. They did have signs saying they were under renovation but we were under the impression that we would get a bathroom that was pictured on the website. We were not aware that the hotel was under renovation when booking. That was a bit disappointing and it wasn’t the cleanest in the bathroom but other than it was nice.
- Sri (8/5): - This time stay it was ok I got the smallest room in the building felt like in the box but overall was fine stay. Next time will book bigger room :)
- Lenny (10/5): Brunswick merchant City Hotel - Although basic rooms you get exactly what it says on the the brochure. Excellent value, spotlessly clean linen and rooms although toilets may need minor refurbishment. Overall delighted and superb value for money in a top location
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, friendly staff and lovely room to stay in.
- Jody (8/5): Perfect for my needs but noisy for regular guests. - The bar next door is connected to the hotel. I purposefully booked this venue because I was hosting an event in the bar. Perfect for my needs, however, I would recommend that regular travellers look elsewhere if they want somewhere quiet. If the rooms have had soundproofing, it’s not enough. I would suggest that the hotel install better soundproofing and refresh the rooms, for regular travellers.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - I'm no killjoy and can party with the rest but with a 9:30am Monday meeting I didn't anticipate being kept awake until 2:00am by the music from the bar downstairs. To be fair I was offered the opportunity to move to a higher floor - but that was on condition that I vacated my room and relocated at 9 when I was already running late. It's not a bad hotel, is clean and offers good value for money but I wouldn't return there based on my experience.
- Karyn (10/5): Definitely stay here again! - Great position, easy walk to everything. Staff were all lovely and helpful with information. Rooms were newly refurbished and very comfortable.
- Joseph (6/5): Okay, but room for improvement - Check in is not till 4pm, but this wasn't shown on the booking. The room was a little run down, especially the bathroom. Overall it was ok for what I paid but the room could certainly do with some improvement.
- Christina (6/5): Not getting what was paid for - Booked a double standard room, paid extra but the room was clearly a compact room as advertised on their own website. I pointed this out upon checking out to be met with indifference. The bathroom needs a tiling overhaul and the shower tiles/ grouting looked grubby. Bed was comfy.
- Gaynor (10/5): 100% Recommend - We purchased a double room on NYE, room was beautiful since it has recently been done up. Was really clean and comfortable. Only downfall was a wee bit cold but not an issue. Bar open all night which was a bonus if you prefer somewhere quieter to drink. 100% recommend this hotel, we have stayed a few times and cannot fault it. Prices are fab aswell!
- Samantha (10/5): Pleased customers - Comfortable, clean, great location, very friendly and helpful staff and value for money
- Klarna (6/5): - We had trouble booking in when we arrived as we booked through booking.com and they had us down as Klarna😳
- George (8/5): Really nice hotel - Nice hotel, great bar with good food and drinks. Room was very nice, will definitely stay again
- MR A (10/5): Value for money/location - Great value for money, location, staff.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Bathroom wasn’t swept and the bath had residue of body wash or something still in it. Great tea and coffee facilities and very spacious room!! Amazing location. We couldn’t figure out how to shut the window and the toilet was very difficult to flush. TV needs an upgrade! Liz at reception was extremely helpful and friendly. Would stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Review - The location was great, the rooms were spacious and very clean. Also the staff were brilliant! Will definitely be back!
- Mark (8/5): Brunswick Hotel; Glasgow - The Brunswick Hotel is a nice hotel within a 5 min walk of the centre of the city and there are aplenty of bars & restaurants around it. The hotel itself is currently going through renovation works and some rooms are better than others but overall having stayed there a couple of times now. The rooms are comfortable with the amenities you'd expect from a hotel of it's standard and the prices are reasonable for the location.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Room and bathroom unclean, tiles missing/falling off in bathroom, very noisy bar and can hear rooms next to you. Unclean and tired looking.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - I liked the pub that was connected to the hotel. The staff there was nice and the food was good. The hotel was clean and the staff was pleasant. The thing I like the least about the hotel is that we had to turn our key in every time we left the hotel and pick it back up when we returned.
- Jenna (6/5): Lovely room, lovely staff, shame about noisey bar. - The hotel itself was lovely, big clean rooms and the receptionist was extremely helpful. I knew from the location that there was a bar downstairs, which wasn’t a problem until the Drag Bingo and karaoke started. For a Thursday night, it was just too loud to sleep. It’s a shame because this was a lovely, reasonably priced hotel but as I have work the next day, I won’t be staying here again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - location was perfect staff were really polite and helpful
- Bugs (8/5): - bit noisy from outside otherwise spotless and staff very friendly
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very central hotel - Very friendly staff. Would do anything for you. Very central for all activities around Glasgow. Not suitable for young children with the noise from bar. Food great from the Amsterdam bar joined onto hotel. I would definitely go back again.
