Top Doune Castle Hotel Reviews

citizenM Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable beds nice and quiet."

The Social Hub Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was excellent, clean, tidy, new with lots of amenities although nothing I used much of. Local also excellent, just of two of Glasgow's main streets and about a 10 minute walk from Glasgow central station. Room was clean and tidy, small, but hey was only sleeping in the room for one night. Staff on the open reception where polite and helpful, even at 3am! The breakfast was the best I have had in any hotel, massive choice of freshly made foods. There was only one gripe I had in then when booking in that had to take a double room when I was on my own (possibly due to room availability) but when it came to booking breakfast I wasn't able to book a single breakfast so waited to book when I arrived at the hotel to find it was £4 more expensive for a single breakfast than it was if I had booked the 2 breakfasts online, to make that worse it was another £5 ish if I decided the morning after to take breakfast taking it to well over £21, which was then I bit steep. As knew I was going to be most of the night I actually didn't know whether I was going to make breakfast in time at all so felt like I had been stung for it even though it was excellent. Great place but breakfast charging needs sorting to be more flexible and not priced differently depending on when booked."

Stirling Court Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hard to find but comfortable when you got there, staff friendly enough, restaurant staff few and far between"

Crieff Hydro

8/10 Good

"The hotel was lovely and self contained which was perfect for the weekend. The bar and restaurants were lovely and the staff were so helpful and nice. The breakfast included was vast and definitely value I’d say. Our room wasn’t ready by check in time which was inconvenient but not terrible as we just went to the bar. Unfortunately though we didn’t love our room as it was on the ground floor so we heard a lot of passing guests outside and our bathroom was a wet room for disabled access so the floor was pretty wet with the shower as the water seemed to travel. The bed/pillows were not that comfortable (the bed felt solid) so I didn’t sleep much our first night and very broken the next. Overall though, we loved the hotel just not the room but it wouldn’t stop me going back. I’d just be sure to say I want a room on an upper floor and probably bring my own pillow :/"

Point A Glasgow

8/10 Good

"Good accomodation, compact and modern. Room with window much more comfortable and bigger than previous stay where room without window felt cramped and claustrophobic for myself. Lovely lounge area with good ambience and seating where can enjoy use of 24/⁷ for eating own food relaxing on various seating options. Quiet and lovely hand body hair wash in rooms. No need to bring own."

The Stirling Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rooms are getting a little old, but are very clean and employees offer very good service"

Clayton Hotel Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"The Clayton Glasgow is a fantastic hotel. Well worth the stay"

YOTEL Glasgow

8/10 Good

"Central location staff very helpful"

Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End

8/10 Good

"Very dated but clean and comfortable."
