Glasgow Argyle Hotel, BW Signature Collection

My wife and I stayed here for an overnight on the 14th November 2020. We had been looking at a last minute place to stay and saw that this hotel was offering a deal for bed and breakfast for just £55. We have stayed at this hotel in the past under it's previous names- Milton, Hallmark and Menzies. The hotel has always been a good experience for us and we love the atmosphere of the place and the swimming pool and breakfast was always brilliant. This time was a very different experience for us. We arrived at 2.30pm on a Saturday afternoon and the place was absolutely deserted. The car park had 1 other car in it and there was no-one at the reception. A very helpful maintenance man greeted us and gave us our room keys etc. We were on the 6th floor- room 612 which was spacious and clean. We didn't see another soul on our way to the room and the swimming pool and dining area was all closed. The hotel is in a great location just a 5/10 minute walk to the city centre. The breakfast was just a bag left outside our room in the morning with porridge, a croissant and some orange juice. We really enjoyed our stay considering the situation and for £55 can't complain about some of the facilities being closed. less

I visited whilst attending a weekend course in Glasgow and found the hotel to be very comfortable. I arrived late but had a warm welcome from the reception staff (Miguel) who was very helpful and friendly. My room was well equipped, of a decent size, had a comfortable bed and powerful shower. Being a gym buff I was pleasantly surprised to find that the gym was actually well equipped, with; a bench, dumbbells up to 32, cables, leg press/extension, multi press, lat pull down and a good collection of cardio equipment (if you’re so inclined). Another member of staff, Paul, was also very helpful and friendly. Overall: nice room, decent gym, happily recommend. less

The hotel was was quite centrally placed but rather jaded. We were pleased there was a car park. We parked the car and notified the hotel. About two weeks after our holiday my husband received an invoice from our car hire company charging us £54 for parking on the hotel car park! He has written and complained but has had no response! Very expensive parking when it was supposed to be free! less

Was met by someone outside who said the Hotel was closed due to Government restrictions, went inside to find out this wasn’t true but would be closing the next morning. Advised no food available but was still charged for car parking which could have been avoided due to lack of food situation. There was a smell of smoke in the room on arrival so had to leave the window open to clear it. Room was a good size nice to have chairs and a table to sit at. Bed large and comfortable had a good nights sleep. Could have been better cleaned as there was some long hairs in the bath and a bottle top on the chair. less

Let’s start with the positives, the hotel is in a great location and Uber makes it very easy to get around. The hotel was nice and clean and the leisure facilities looked fab but we didn’t get a chance to use them. However our room was very disappointing, it was clearly outdated and could do with a freshen up as there was a slight smell, there was no chair for the dressing table - or a mirror on it either so I ended up taking a mirror from above a tall set of draws to be able to use it, the room was also incredibly dark - but the bathroom had a bath and surrounding mirrors which was nice. We then booked on for breakfast which was around £10 per head, a fair price but when we went down for it someone had used our room number so this caused an issue, we then got some fruit and drinks which were fine, then went for pastries which were stale and the bread for toast had a slight bit of mould in - we quietly mentioned this to a member of breakfast staff who couldn’t have cared less and then we left unhappy with it all. We informed the reception as we left who told us she would take this further but weren’t offered anything of goodwill. Based on this visit I would not stay again as it was overall disappointing. less
