When I booked this hotel it sounded expensive. However the room is HUGE! Great location. Book an executive room and you get access to lounge with complimentary drinks til almost midnight. I can honestly say, WELL worth the cost. Give yourself a treat people and spend a night here .

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights this spring. We found the staff very helpful , room was comfortable with restful bed and nicely appointed bathroom. Could have had better lighting around the desk area. Heating did not seem to work properly and wifi was not consistent. The roof top dining room was lovely with great views of... More

I need to travel for business and spend a fair amount of time in city hotels. When this one was booked by my travel company I expected the usual standard, basic room and service. Not this time. The Carlton George is smack bang in the middle of the city and near to everything. But it was quiet in my room... More

It took me years stopping in Glasgow to finally find myself getting a room at this hotel. What a shame I should say. This one is now my second best hotel in Glasgow.

I strangely had never stayed at this hotel and finally came to have a booking there for a couple of days. The actual quality of the welcome was impressive and so is the service overall. Rooms are of fair size, well-equipped and boast a first-of-a-kind free open bar ... including whisky jug. Not that I would use a sip but... More

I have stayed in this hotel before many times, always for business, this time my wife arranged an overnight stay so we didn't have any late night travel after a city night out. The hotel is not massive, an advantage for a city hotel guest, means the service can be more personal. Located a stones throw from George Square and... More

We chose the Carlton purely due to its proximity to Glasgow Queen Street Station, next time I will choose it because it is a great hotel! The staff are about the friendliest I have ever come across in any hotel I have stayed in, they showed Scottish hospitality at its best. The room was perfectly good with free wi-fi &... More

We chose this Hotel because of its location as we were going to a Chris de Burgh concert at the Concert Hall. The proximity of the hotel was ideal and we would use it in the future for any other concerts. Staff were very helpful and we were impressed with everything at the hotel.

Only stayed for one night, reception staff friendly, room ok (slight gimmick of free mini bar), good location. The much vaunted scottish breakfast was a typical example of how Brits get it wrong - poorly cooked, poorly presented and poorly served. Given the price i would have expected much better
