George Square - City Centre Suites

The location was great if you're not bringing a car. That's about the only good thing I can say. The apartment felt uncomfortable and somehow brutal, with bare walls and prints of a barricade and a telephone pole for artwork. It felt like being transported back to East Berlin. We had no bowls, and when we turned on the oven, it smelled awful. Cooking was the whole reason we chose this over a hotel. There was never anyone at reception, and over our four nights the room wasn't serviced at all. It felt more like an airbnb, which isn't what you pay for with a serviced apartment. We did get the deposit back, but it was a lot of money to pay upfront.

We were right in the heart of Glasgow, on the block with George Square and just a block from Queen Street Station. The apartment had everything we needed, including a washing machine, so we could do our laundry. We made dinner there on both nights, which was a cozy treat. A superb stay all around.

We really enjoyed the apartment, both at the start of our holiday and again at the end, and were pleased with its facilities each time. We'd recommend it. Our only difficulty was finding our way around Glasgow, with so many streets closed for redevelopment after the fire near Central Station.

Our rooftop apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed for a city break. The location was wonderful, with train stations, shops and plenty of places to eat right nearby. Beds were comfy, towels were decent, and the wine, water, tea, coffee and coffee machine were nice touches. Staff were friendly and helpful. We couldn't use the balcony because it was closed for health and safety reasons, which was a shame in the lovely weather. It would have been nice to sit out with our complimentary wine. We stayed in late September and arrived to a very hot apartment, with the heating on and sun coming through the glass. It cooled down once we turned off the heaters and the sun went down, but the bedrooms stayed warm. There's no air con, so I imagine high summer could make it very uncomfortable.
