Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel

Visited Blythswood Square for the spa and afternoon tea and overall it was a great experience. The spa is the standout — really high-end with excellent facilities and a proper luxury feel throughout. Everything is clean, well maintained and very well run, and it’s a great place to relax and unwind. We also had afternoon tea. The food was very good, but the setting itself felt fairly average compared to the rest of the hotel. It didn’t quite match the same level as the spa experience, but still enjoyable overall. Staff were friendly and professional throughout. Superb spa and well worth a visit — afternoon tea a nice addition, even if the setting doesn’t quite match the rest.

The staff here were outstanding. Sep and the team were so progressional and helpful, as we were hosting a reception that day after the fire our numbers were low and the team were so accommodating helping us adapt our setup. I’d really recommend this venue for a drinks reception.

I stay here regularly for business. I have been coming here for at least eight years now and every time it never fails to wow me. From the concierge service carrying my bags in from the car to the reception desk being super helpful and friendly. This time in particular has been outstanding. I arrived at 4 pm and the concierge walked over to my car to greet me and carry my bags into the reception for me. Check-in was smooth, easy and super friendly. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and immaculate. I have travelled around the world and stayed in many many hotels all around the world and this is up there with one of the best hotels and staff I have ever come across. It’s the small things that makes such a big difference the cold water in the fridge in the gym, the access to the beautiful spa, the bedrooms are always Immaculate and the food. Wow, the food. Tonight I was served by Sam he was a phenomenal waiter who knew the menu inside out and gave recommendations for accompanying drinks. He asked questions regarding my food preferences and tastes. This then enabled him to make recommendations to suit what he thought I would like which by the way was absolutely outstanding. I have eaten in Michelin star restaurants that have not tasted half as good as this food does here. It is exceptional. Sam was friendly and chatty. Nothing seemed rushed or that he was trying to move onto the next table. As a solo traveller somebody that works away and sits on her own a lot at restaurants it was lovely to have a genuine conversation with somebody. He is an absolute credit to this Hotel and although he isn’t on shift tomorrow when I am here again, he said he was going to leave his dessert recommendations and paired wines written down behind the bar for me to remember tomorrow as I was too full tonight to have a desert. Again time and time again, I am more impressed with the level of service and care that goes into looking after guests here at this hotel Genuinely, nothing compares. Thank you so much Blythswood for always being so accommodating.

My partner and I had a wonderful nights stay at this hotel a couple of weekends before Christmas to celebrate his birthday. Our room was directly above reception and the main entrance overlooking Blythswood Square gardens. We had full size floor to ceiling windows and arm chairs where you could sit and watch the world (and rain) go by in complete cosy comfort. The bed was huge and super comfy. There was a bath between the bedroom and shower room where you could relax and watch tv from. I enjoyed a soak after breakfast the next day. The room was very spacious and felt luxurious in all fittings and fixtures. Complimentary mini bar and great coffee machine were lovely touches. We enjoyed a beautiful meal in the restaurant and excellent service from the staff there before being truly pampered experiencing all the different treats in the spa. The spa was busy but not overcrowded and got quieter as the night progressed. The snow shower was a fun, unique attraction. Breakfast was delicious, plentiful choice and well organised. We both ordered cooked freshly prepared dishes which were excellent. Again service was brilliant. Hopefully we will be back next December

The Blythswood Spa seems incapable of picking up a telephone. This is not a one-off thing. We have visited several times over the past 10 years, but actually getting to speak to someone is almost impossible. We would not ally book online but a voucher code we have is not working so need to speak to someone to resolve it. Tried at different times and through different channels but no joy. Such frustrating customer service.
