How this hotel gets past an inspection by anybody who has any two of the usual allocation of 'senses' is beyond me.There are similarly priced hotels of a much higher standard less than a minute's walk away. More

We booked and paid for 3 nights via the website. After one night with little sleep we decided to move out. The matress was absolutely terrible. The cutlery at breakfast was dirty. The whole breakfast room was dirty. The hostess made me some hard boiled poached eggs. All in all not very pleasant. When we moved out it was made... More

This place is absolutely disgusting, and I have written a large number of reviews, and this is the only time I have ever wished I could give zero out of five. On arrival at the Lomond Hotel, as other reviewers seem to have experienced, we filled out some paperwork and were then told that our room was in fact at... More

I stayed at this hotel because of its proximity to Glasgow University which is just a 5 to 10 minute walk away. Hotel is fairly basic, I had one of the rooms with an ensuite bathroom which was adequate, threadbare towels and a bar of soap. The bed was not good and uncomfortable. The standard of cleaning was poor. Plenty... More

Booked the hotel because it was handy for Oran Mor. Pros: Spacious room, handy location. Cons:Difficult parking - 3hrs max on meter. Breakfast times ridiculous - 8-9am En suite smelt of vomit. Blood stains on landing wall. Staff were pleasant, but waitress at breakfast struggled with English. Won`t be back. More

Only stayed one night and spent only 20 minutes in the hotel awake but I would stay there again. Good sized room for a single. Friendly staff, clean rooms, good location. Some good bars locally. Quick into town. More

We booked into this hotel and were met by a very rude lady on reception, who was more interested in getting money from us despite having already paid it is obvious the 3 good reviews are wrote by themselves or their family due to the badly written English and them all writing the same thing. The hotel was dirty and... More
