An inside look at The Grand Central Hotel

Principal Hayley bought the Grand Central back in 2009 and spent over £20 million on completely refurbishing a wonderful historic building. The hotel opened originally in 1883 when it was the place to be. We have since once again made the Grand Central Glasgow's hotel by bringing the building back to its former glory.

“They need a noise bylaw or an agreement with the neighbours...”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Adjoins the Central Railway station (windows face onto the concourse) and there was construction in the station adjoining the hotel throughout the night. The desk staff said that there was nothing they could do about it, and we were not the only customers upset about it. They told us that we could change rooms, except that there were none, and even if so the replacement rooms would face onto the street noise.
눇Upper quality accommodation, great staff, nice building ambiance and great central location

“Good location but we had a bad start”
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉It took us over 30 minutes to get entry to our room because initially we were given the wrong room number. The entry keys did not work and whilst I was sorting this out at reception and my husband was still trying to get into the room a woman came whose room it really was- that was embarrassing for my husband. At reception they realised we had been given the wrong number (it had been written down so was their mistake). It meant we were late for a dinner appointment. The iron in the room (great to have one) had a piece missing and water spilt over the clothes I was trying to iron to go out to dinner. After a long car drive we were tired and had lost time with the room number fiasco.Not the best of starts.
눇Staff were very friendly and throughout were welcoming whatever their role
