Top Doune Castle Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Glasgow City

8/10 Good

"good location"

Point A Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful and location great"

citizenM Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"I really like this hotel. Staff are super friendly, lots of places to work and relax. Great breakfast- one of my favourites. Comfy bed and super quiet given the location. My only issue on this occasion was that the shower wasn’t in great condition but otherwise another great stay. Tim"

The Stirling Highland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the property. It is a beautiful building and a short walk to the castle. The room was large and very comfortable. I was able to walk everywhere I needed to go. I would definitely go back to the Stirling Highland Hotel."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Leonardo Royal was in a perfect location for me, a first time visitor to Glasgow. The staff was friendly and helpful especially the manager day at breakfast, Stephen. . The breakfast buffet was fabulous. The accommodations in the room were very comfortable. My only comment is there are no drawers to put clothes into if you unpack your bags. I think more hotels are leaning towards that, but when I stay more than two days, I like to unpack, and I was there for five. Also, I wish more hotels would have magnifying mirrors in the bathroom, but I would definitely stay there again on any return trip to Glasgow"

Crieff Hydro

8/10 Good

"The room was really well laid out and a good size . We ate dinner in the Asian restaurant East and the food was excellent. We had a monkfish dish and then a Spatchcock chicken to share with side dishes. The bar is attractive"

Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End

10/10 Excellent

"Parking easy. Room clean and adequately spacious. Restaurant a bit cafeteria-ish to look at but food excellent (possible exception breakfast eggs for some reason, but OK), and staff friendly and very helpful."

YOTEL Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was clean and smellt fresh. Staff was happy and polite on the reception"

Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing resort! Had an amazing time and it’s quite close to a lot so made it convenient"
