Argyll Hotel

Had a lovely stay here. A beautiful, quaint hotel with really friendly cleaning ladies. Reception was amazing, especially Sherry - thank you for helping me so much.

Liked: This hotel is beautiful. The nicest, kindest staff I've ever come across - they went above and beyond to help me with anything I needed. Such kind, lovely people.
Disliked: Nothing was bad.

Only stayed one night so unfortunately didn't sample the food. The hotel was immaculate, the room and ensuite were beautiful. Hotel in a very quiet part of the city. The young man on reception was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend! Will definitely return.

Liked: Spotlessley clean, very friendly staff.
Disliked: Can't think of anything!

Very friendly staff, great price...

Please read before book

Liked: Tea pot in the room, towels were clean
Disliked: Upon arrival, I provided my booking details and confirmed that I had already paid in full for my reservation via Booking.com. The receptionist issued one room key and asked me to sign an additional form. At the same time, I was told that I must provide my credit card details and pay an additional £1 as a “security deposit.”When I questioned this, I was told that I had not actually paid for my stay. I explained that I had indeed completed the payment in advance through Booking.com. The receptionist then insisted this was not a payment, but a mandatory deposit, and that the form I was asked to sign allowed the hotel to charge my card at any time for potential damages.I was further told that the hotel “has no relationship with Booking.com” and that “Booking.com does not provide guest data.” This directly contradicts my booking experience, since I provided my card details to Booking.com and paid in full when making the reservation. The hotel also stated that I should have checked their own website for all policies. I found this surprising and unreasonable, as I rely on the information provided on Booking.com where the reservation was made. All essential terms and conditions should be transparent on that platform.Throughout the interaction, the receptionist repeatedly dismissed my concerns, saying “you don’t understand,” and accused me of being “difficult” and “inadequate.” This manner of communication was unprofessional, disrespectful, and made me feel pressured, anxious, and uncomfortable. Instead of resolving the issue, I felt manipulated and gaslit.During check-in, I also witnessed concerning behavior from the manager towards the female receptionist. He spoke to her in a commanding and dismissive tone, even pushing her to act quickly, which demonstrated a lack of respect. Combined with how I was treated, this reinforced the impression of a broader pattern of unprofessional and disrespectful conduct towards women.

Very good

Suited our needs. The staff...

Liked: Good location, clean and comfortable
Disliked: Nothing

Superb

I recommend it only if...

Liked: The location in the proximity to U of Glasgow neighborhood suit me well. I enjoyed a night walk and felt safe. The room itself was satisfactory
Disliked: The cleanliness was not up to my standard: the towels seemed not so fresh as well as the smell. The breakfast was bad - the products were rather cheap and of low quality.

Great stay it fit the...

Liked: The location was excellent clean and comfortable good breakfast
Disliked: No parking

Got given a much cheaper...

Disliked: Not usually one to leave bad reviews, but I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience here. Having researched nice rooms in Glasgow, I settled on Argyll Hotel’s four poster room, as the photos looked really nice. At £232 for one night, this was more than I would usually spend on a room, and I was expecting it to be nice. However, I was given the key to a room that was definitely not the four poster room - aside from the standard bed, it was very shabby, with tacky decor, which was made worse by details like the fact that there were 2 hand washes in the shower instead of shampoo; altogether, it seemed sloppy and low effort, more like a budget hostel than a nice treat. The reception staff helpfully gave me an email to contact to try to secure a refund, though when AH replied, they only offered either a 10% discount (which does not come near to covering the difference between what we booked and what we were given) or a “complimentary upgrade” to the four poster room next stay - not that it would be complimentary, given that I have paid for it already! When I pointed these things out, I was told that the small partial refund was only a courtesy, as the rooms are really the same value (which is very untrue, the photos of the room we booked are hugely different from the one we were given).

Would stay again

Liked: This hotel is in a lovely terrace of buildings and has on street parking outside which we were lucky enough to get a space.I he room was small but had everything we needed for 1 night stay.The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot.There are many shops and nice eateries close by so would have liked to have stayed longer.The staff were friendly and efficient.
