Howwood Vacations from $1,143

It definitely pays to read all communication from the hotel prior to arrival. Then you get the check-in instructions beforehand. Otherwise, a decent hotel in a lovely part of Glasgow, just across the road from the Botanic Gardens and a stone's throw from the vibrant West End. Lovely freshly made breakfast, and friendly staff serving. The room was basic, but clean and served its purpose. Up in the gods mind you, a bit of a climb!

Everything was perfect! The hotel was exceptionally clean, very comfortable, and the staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming throughout my stay. The only minor drawback was that the advertised swimming pool and gym are not located on-site and are approximately 4 miles away. Anyway, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this hotel to others.

Very close to Queen st. Train station.

Room was clean and breakfast was good. Rooms are very spacious, and decor is amazing. Staff is super helpful and friendly. But, hotel is very noisy. Make sure you don’t get room 15 unless you are deaf and/or sleep like a rock. It is directly over the party room and reception, and there is also an almost constant thumping in the walls all night (pipes?). Then, in the morning the music at reception will wake you up. (It was so loud that when we went down for breakfast, we had to yell to speak to the receptionist in the morning; my husband was frustrated that he could not hear her at all over the music). But, when we asked about it, a member of the staff generously moved us into the other building, which was relatively quiet. But, our new room reeked of very strong body odor and had no windows that open. We turned on the bathroom fan and left for the day, and that helped, but the bed (pillows) still stunk strongly. I would suggest laundering the pillows, comforter, etc. or throwing them out and replacing them. For room 15, I strongly suggest putting ONLY people attending events in that room, no matter when a reservation takes place. In other words, anticipate that you will have events and hold that room (and nearby rooms) for event guests only. Put early, non-event-related bookings in the other building straight away.
