Top Emirates Arena Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Glasgow City

Maldron Hotel Glasgow City

8/10 Good
"A very impersonal hotel which does its job. However prices fluctuate considerably and are pumped up when busy to that of a 5 star. It isn’t. It’s always busy. Rooms are clean but even in an executive room there’s no fridge. Room service ordered - arrived quickly but no glasses for drinks and no salt and pepper. Waiter disappeared to get them and never reappeared. This is the reason you should never tip up front on a QR code before getting the food. These hotels run on as few staff as possible and staff are stretched between roles. Don’t get me wrong it’s a decent hotel - facilities 4 star service maybe not"

"Great hotel for a business trip. Easy walking distance from many restaurants and Glasgow central station. Breakfast was great - lovely to have a friendly welcome each morning. I had a room overlooking the trains but they didn’t bother me as don’t run throughout the night! Room was great. Great having 3 lifts so not having to wait. Only downside I can find is the other people staying thinking it’s ok to vape and smoke in the entrance to the hotel - walking past to get in and out is awful but guessing out of your control."
