6/10 Good

Worst bed I have slept in a long time. Rock hard bed that seemed to be on a slope. Cheap pillows and duvet. Modern fitted bathroom but sink so small the floor was soaked when trying to wash. Pleasant staff especially lady in the breakfast room. All areas nice and clean.

Great Location.
The hotel had limited off site parking, so ended up having to pay for street parking which was quite expensive. However, the location was ideal for the West End of Glasgow.

A charming place that has exactly what I needed and no more or less. The people are wonderfully friendly. The location cannot be beat with the entrance to the river path just across the street.

Lovely peaceful place
The Ambassador Hotel is a gem and the front desk gentleman was helpful and kind. We had to leave early in the morning a few minutes after the dining room opened for breakfast. He took our order the night before and had it ready for us before the Taxi arrived. The location is beautiful and close to many restaurants and the botanical gardens and a pretty walk along the river. It was far from the city center though.

8/10 Very good

Lovely little hotel, very clean, excellent service in a beautiful location. Only small criticisms is a very wobbly wardrobe in the room which didnt feel very safe, no toiletries in bathroom (soap dispensers empty), and a poor choice of drinks in room. Not enough to put me off staying again, I would certainly be back, but I'd be aware to bring coffee, soap and shower gel next time!

Not as expected.
Only 6 parking spaces and very small. Booked hotel for the parking and not guaranteed. Other parking outside restricted to 3 hrs and expensive. Also, not hot water in sink.

2/10 Poor

The property was fine and handy for where we were going on our night out the room was clean and tidy the problem arose in the morning as we were going down for breakfast we never made it to the bottom of the stairs before being told it was twenty past nine and hot breakfast finished at 9.15 on a New Year’s Day he said with a smile. No just go in and get the breakfast you have paid extra for or we will refund your money as you didn’t get your breakfast. We thought it finished at 9.30 and thought we were in plenty of time.We have stayed in this hotel before that is why we returned but would not go back after this bad experience.

10/10 service and nice hotel
10/10 for man on reception stayed in room 15 which had no view other than roof plus room has support beam right next to bed but room was satisfactorily clean with exception of few high areas with dust but overall clean and tidy and nice hotel. Breakfast was ok nothing great but to sum up service and hotel lovely and definitely would stay again maybe not in that room.

Happy to stay again but coming by train next time!
Liked the position, across the road from the Botanic Gardens. Was able to obtain a ticket for Jekyll and Hyde in the Gardens which was a bonus. Only difficulty was finding it.Not the hotel at fault. There are so many road works in Glasgow coupled with one way system that for a stranger to the city, negotiating the way round was a challenge.
