they don’t have any lifts and lots of stairs so don’t advise staying if you’ve got luggage! The room wasn’t the most comfortable and it was a bit overpriced for what it was. Always wanted to stay there so I’m glad I tried it and it was comfortable enough but there’s a lot better offering in Glasgow

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.

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.
