Ambassador Hotel

I stayed in a single bedroom with en suite shower, basin and toilet. WithTV, tea making facilities, hairdryer and parking it had everything I needed. Clean, comfortable and warm. I slept really well. The hotel is right next to the botanical gardens so a beautiful place to go walking right on your doorstep. My booking was a very late, last minute one and the hotel responded immediately with all the information I needed. I would happily stay here again.

Nice quiet location and only several minutes walk from Oran Mor venue where we had tickets to see a band. We arrived after 3pm, check in was very easy and we were lucky and got a parking space for free in the hotel car park round the back. The entrance to the Carpark could be easily missed as it is very narrow with wheelie bins lined up along it and could easily be mistaken for a private little driveway or a service entrance. The car parking round the back is extremely small and tight and I would recommend reversing in to a parking bay, if you can, which makes it much easier to come out of. We entered the hotel from the Carpark, as we were in room 18 which was in the annex part of the building. We couldn’t get a double room so had to get a triple room. This was on the ground floor facing the front and right next to the left side front door of the hotel. The room itself was clean, very spacious and had 3 single beds (two were pushed together), a shower/toilet room, built into the bedroom, TV, the usual complimentary tea/coffee etc (we took our own tea bags, milk and biscuits), bath towels and plenty of wardrobe hanging space. The window looked out onto the street which had no through traffic at all and was extremely lovely and quiet overnight, but it did snow which probably added to the silence outside. The radiators were off and the room was a bit chilly so we had to turn them on and set them ourselves, there was no teaspoons to make a cup of tea so my Husband had to go to reception to ask for them as there is no phone in the room. There was no little bottles of shower gel or shampoo (which we have always had in every other hotel we have ever stayed in), and this just happened to be the very time I did not bring our own. They did, however, have a shower gel container on the wall in the shower which was nearly empty and the same beside the sink, there was no sink tumbler/glass to use to rinse your mouth when cleaning your teeth., extremely basic which, for the money £188 for one night, was so disappointing. The door stop behind the toilet door was deeply rusted (the whole thing) and looked disgusting and very unsightly. The beds were relatively comfortable but I did not sleep well as there was a loud beep beep beeping coming every 3 seconds from what looked like an alarm above the hotels front door just outside our room. Nice quiet convenient location, clean and reasonably comfortable, but very little complimentary stuff that tends to be available even in the most basic of hotels and Inns. Breakfast is not included and can be bought for £10 per person, we did not have breakfast so I can’t comment on that. Checkout was very quick and easy, but when I gave feedback to the male receptionist, although he did state he would make a note of the things I said, he got defensive about the shower gel telling me that the tiny amount in the shower one would be enough for a few showers, and he said there was plenty in the one by the sink, to wh

Excellent hotel, perfect position,close to amenities. We stayed for 2 nights snd could not have been happier. A real bonus was being able to park the car on site. We would definately recommend this hotel and would stay here again if coming to Glasgow.

The people were helpful and friendly, breakfasts were great (lots of choices, hot foods done well), large comfortable room, quiet area and perfect location for visiting the Botanic Garden, university and museums. Easy city center access on subway or bus. Would definitely stay there again.

A very comfortable overnight stay in a hotel I’ve used before so no hesitation recommending it. Room was well appointed and breakfast was delicious with a wide range of options. This hotel is in a great area of the city close to a number of galleries/museums, parks, great restaurants and pubs.

Lovely staff at the Ambassador. Very friendly staff, comfort, elegant room, excellent location. The apartments by the entrance were a little noisy with other guests comings and going’s but didn’t spoil a fabulous stay

The room was perfect. Charming, clean and reasonably priced. We were visiting our daughter studying for a semester at the University of Glasgow. Location was ideal - close to everything in the West End, busses, subway, and Scott Rail. Staff was approachable and accommodating. When our flight was cancelled, we were able to book an extra night. What a relief. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Going to a family wedding that started at 2pm, we needed an early checkin and parking. The ambassador provided both without fuss and at no extra cost. Very friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. We were given an apartment at the rear of the building, which had a small kitchen area , very handy if on a longer stay.

I enjoyed yet another stay at the Ambassador during a visit to our daughter studying at nearby University of Glasgow. The location is perfect, with the beautiful Botanic Gardens and the buzz of the West End shops, cafes and restaurants right on your doorstep. The welcome at the Ambassador is always warm and the rooms are reliably clean and comfortable, representing great value for money. The staff are unfailingly polite, kind and helpful, and I am always so glad I chose the Ambassador. Thank you!
