Travelled in from packing up my house for removers, just a bit tired!. Assigned to toom 604. Crashed out about 7pm, awakened a short time later by banging and hammering in the room above which went on loudly, ALL NIGHT. Be aware the 'renovations' are not complete, new carpet/dirty paintwork, lousy shower did eventually get lukewarm. Dim light. Bedside light... more

I was a bit concerned about staying in this hotel. Although it has recently been renovated it has been renovated cheaply. The bathroom, while large, was still tatty, tiles on floor broken, bath chipped, old fittings still on wall and painted over, no towel rails, glass shower screen could not be moved easily. Bedroom was clean. Breakfast was good, although... more

My fiend and I were looking for somewhere central in Glasgow for Shops and Nightlife and discovered the Alexander Thomson Hotel. We were a bit wary about it because of what we paid but we had no need to worry. The hotel was excellent value and we wouldn't hesitate to go back again. The rooms were very cosy and there... more

It is nice now, but must have used to be a dump. When we arrived in Glasgow the taxi driver asked where we were going and when we told him, he looked at our kids and said we should find another place. Apparantly it used to be city overflow housing for transients. We were pretty concerned, but when we got... more

Seems as the years has made it's marks but it was clean and nice. Had to leave early so we could not enjoy the breakfast. Personel was friendly and service minded. The elevator seemed to need a service though. Overall it was worth the cost. more

Have just returned from sixth or seventh stay at this hotel and as always found it to be perfectly comfortable and clean! I do not know what people find to complain about this hotel.
