6/10 Good

Unfortunately our room wasn't available due to previous guests damaging the room. The staff at the Alexander Thomson were very helpful and booked us a room at a different hotel and took care of all the associated costs. I would have preferred to stay at the Alexander Thomson as it's very close to Central Station, shopping, and restaurants, but unforeseen circumstances caused us to stay elsewhere.

Stayed in a more modern room with everything we needed. Breakfast was ok (a bit too much salt), and the front desk service was great! (Thanks Luke). Secure luggage storage option was also a very nice to have while we explored the area

The staff was incredibly friendly, the room spacious. Breakfast was a decent buffet style meal that was good. However there was no air conditioning and the window was open outside for ventilation. The hallway was incredibly noisy, with kids knocking on doors late at night.

Tired hotel!

The hotel itself is very central. The parking is 10mins away and was quite tricky to find but we got it half price which was good. £11 instead of £22 for 24hours. The hotel needs a complete refurbishment as it’s very dated which makes it feel dirty. The bed was very comfortable and we had a huge room with views of the streets. It was a good hotel but I wouldn’t return as there are other modern hotels all around this one and the same price.

In need of a refurbishment Dirty windows that wouldn’t close Noisy fan outside window Dark room, upgrade on lights needed. Limited breakfast choice. Staff not very helpful. On the plus side, large room, powerful shower with hot water. Clean towels and bedding. Chose this hotel because it is near to Rail Station, but would not stay there again.

They overbooked so they switch the location of our reservation. We didn't get to stay at the Alexander Thompson hotel. They didn't contact us before hand. They told us when we arrived. We had lots of luggage and had to carry it all several blocks on foot to another hotel.

We were booked into the hotel but showed up to find that we had no room. We had to lug our luggage several blocks away to another hotel. This was the second occasion this occurred. Some advanced notice would have been appreciated.

There was a fire in my room, caused by the extractor fan. It was put out, but the fumes remained. Another room was found but not much of an apology even when I spoke to the manager the next morning a not even a Mars bar let alone a free night was offered as a gesture of good will. Didn't expect much but box of chocolates or a bottle wouldn't have gone amiss all things considered. The second room was not as nice as the original.

Etwas in die Jahre gekommenes aber dadurch irgendwie auch charmantes Hotel mitten in Glasgow. Super zentral und verkehrsgünstig gelegen. Das Zimmer war riesig und gut ausgestattet und sauber, das Bad neu und modern. Ein Kritikpunkt: nicht sehr gut schließende alte Fenster; dadurch etwas zugig und laut. Die sehr laute Musik der Bar im Erdgeschoss war nicht zu überhören.

Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Hotel ist gut im Zentrum gelegen. Kurze Gehdistanz zum Bahnhof/Zentrum. Zimmer schön renoviert. Aber die Fensterabdichtung ist nicht ganz dicht, darum auch Lärm von der Strasse im Zimmer. Insgesamt ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

2/10 Poor

Staff seemed friendly, rooms were a decent size and a little dirty around the edges but ive seen worse for a cheap hotel (stains on the bedding though). Breakfast very basic but again good enough for cheap central hotel. However drunks just wandered the halls screaming at each other, kicking in doors and fighting and staff didnt do anything, so unless thats your idea of a good time I would probably look for somewhere safer/with security.

Bra läge men inte mer.

Hotellet var till större del ett härbärge för uteliggare och människor med missbruk. Fick sova två av tre nätter. Ena natten gick brandlarmet pga rökning på rum. Alla ut fr hotellet mitt i natten. Nästa natt skulle en berusad människa in på vårat rum. Knackade ihärdigt och jag fick ropa innan han försvann. Stora rum, rent, bra frukost och bra läge.
