Realistically it is a B&B not an hotel, bar - very small selection of bottled beers, no food in the evening. Room was very small, dated wall paper, carpets etc. Breakfast was excellent, food and service. Close to west end bars and restaurants, so food and bar not too much of an issue as long as you don't mind going... More

This hotel turned out to be a very good choice for a two day visit to Glasgow. The room was not large, but not oppressively small either, and it was clean, quiet and comfortable. The car parking round the back was a little hard to find, but, once found, was very convenient. The breakfast was excellent - or would have... More

Small hotel, excellent location for university, restaurants, cool bars etc. rooms are OK - small, a bit shabby but clean (though the need to sort out the ceiling cobwebs). Good breakfast and charming service. More

Recently stayed at the Ambassador Hotel with some friends while attending a sporting event. Four of us shared one very spacious room which was very clean and comfortable and kitted out with tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. Breakfast was nice and all the staff were more than helpful especially with accomodating an extra guest at very short... More

small twin bedroom on top floor clean and comfortable beds Unfortunately, the window wouldn't close properly - didn't realise this until we got back to the room late. It was very windy so the window rattled all night!!! Breakfast was good but the dining room could perhaps do with some low level background music. It gave my friend and beds... More

If you want a reasonably priced hotel not too far from the centre of Glasgow this is a good choice. I'd failed to get a room in the centre so booked this hotel for 1 night. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was small but comfortable with a king size bed. Everything was clean, the shower worked well.... More

I spent 1 night at the Ambassador Hotel while in Scotland on a golf trip with friends. I booked my last 2 nights in Scotland at the Ambassador because I wanted to stay in Glasgow's West End before I flew home to Canada. It was the best I could find on short notice. The location is perfect just steps away... More

Got a triple room for the family. Ended up next door to the actual hotel in the apartments. Had breakfast in the hotel. Our room was a converted parlor with lovely architectural details. Breakfast next door was pleasant. The location is off the beaten path, but works. It is a block from a stop for the tourist oriented Hop On,... More
