Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel

We had a lovely stay at the Kimpton. The staff were all very friendly, rooms were super clean, enjoyed the drinks at the bar and the breakfast buffet was wonderful. My only complaint would be the pillows were all very flat. The seemed like they would be firm, but as soon as you laid your head down, you would sink straight through it. Beds were comfy though. Gorgeous hotel, wonderful staff, fantastic location. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Easy check in. Great room. Superb room service breakfast. We will be staying at IHG hotels moving forward.

I met Ian from housekeeping who was so nice and friendly- happy to help and make suggestions for a better stay in Scotland a Top Bloke

Once again, we had a wonderful experience at the Kimpton. We come here every year. It never disappoints. Everyone is always happy to help. There is little turnover of staff which is a testament to the hotel’s commitment to caring for people. It is a short walk to the city center but in a quiet and serene part of Glasgow City Center.

This is a beautiful hotel. It feels very high end with features, ambience (free wine-tasting in the afternoon) and staff. But that’s where the 5 stars ends. It is a “surface-level” 5 star hotel. Once you are a registered guest, you realize the niceties don’t extend into an actual great stay. 1. Horrible gym. It’s very small with low ceiling and no natural light. I actually laughed out loud when I saw it, because it doesn't "match" the quality of the lobby and hotel sleeping rooms. 4 pieces of equipment require electric. 3 were not working. Fitness center opens at 7:30. That’s too late for any business traveler or tourist wanting to hit the gym before starting their day. There are no windows. You must be let in by a staff member. Your room key won’t open the door, which is annoying because you have to find a staff member to have them let you in. To use American slang, the gym was a dump. 2. There are always linens, rolling carts, and other equipment in the hallway. No matter what time of day. That’s where they live. 3. Signage is terrible. Every guest gets lost going to/ from their room. It’s an old hotel with lots of winding hallways, fire doors and stairs. Better signage is essential here. And easy to do. Why they don’t have better signage is a huge mystery. I met many guests in the halls, lost, and wandering their way to their room or the lobby. This is a hotel used by many tour groups, and many of those group members are elderly. That demographic can get confused easily, and this hotel does nothing to help them out. 4. The AC was a hit or miss in the rooms. My party booked several rooms. Some of us had freezing cold room and couldn't get the AC turn off. Others of us had very hot rooms and the AC couldn't keep up. Travelers beware. This hotel has a wonderful exterior but core issues once you are a registered guest. It is in a wonderful location, with easy access to many great attractions.
