Set in a coveted spot in the heart of the vibrant city, this classic Edwardian townhouse reflects the city’s own modern renaissance, combining striking traditional architecture with contemporary design. Within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars and art galleries, ABode Glasgow is ideal for a city break.
Originally built in 1829 by James Campbell the building has been home to a Prime Minister and was re-designed in 1911 as the headquarters for the Corporation of Education; the unique cage lift and elegant stone staircase were added alongside stained-glass windows, tiles and golden ‘lion rampant’ etchings on the walls. The building was category B listed in 1970 by Historic Scotlan dand became part of ABode Hotels in 2005.
Incorporating the ABode collection’s trademark Comfortable, Desirable, Enviable and Fabulous room categories, each of the 59 guestrooms offers a distinct style with quality and comfort at their core and a luxurious bed and the clean lines of a contemporary ensuite bathroom as standard.

We initially arrived at 12:30 and left our bags as we were told check in was at 15:00 which was fine. We returned to check into the room around 16:45, and the room we were sent to was really dirty - the bed was unmade with cushions all over the floor, leftover food and crumbs all over the floor. This was almost two hours after check in. We were then given a different room. We could not use the shower as the water was scalding hot, when we told reception they said they would try to sort it, but if not the hotel was fully booked so could not change room. Thankfully it was seen to and worked later that evening, otherwise we would have been happy to change to a different hotel. We were told the shower hadn’t worked because a button needed to be pressed which we are still yet to find. We arrived back to the room the next day at 17:40 and it had not been cleaned/towels had not been changed. We were told at reception that we were supposed to put the tag on the door so they would know to clean. We were not informed of this at check in, and there was no information/signs in the bathroom regarding towel change. We overheard three different groups of people check in, and none of them were informed of this policy either. We did not have a phone in the room to ring reception. TV did not work. Staff unpleasant and unfriendly, would not recommend.

This place desperately needs some TLC. By far the worst part was the breakfast. Don't bother and just go out and find some food elsewhere. Rooms were very stuffy and the aircon hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Bathrooms and bedrooms need an update. The hotel has the bones of a great place to stay but is being neglected. Front desk staff were wonderful.

FILTHY ROOMS, RUDE STAFF – THIS PLACE IS A HEALTH HAZARD! Let me WARN you now don’t even think about stepping foot in this hotel unless you enjoy bad hygiene and worse customer service. From the moment I walked in, I knew I made a mistake. The whole place had a funny smell like damp, dust and disappointment. Should’ve trusted my gut and left! First of all, the room? NASTY. No mats, no cleanliness, just vibes and bacteria. Hair all over the sheets and not the kind that falls from your head. I found stains on the bedding, the walls, even the curtains looked like they’d been through war. It was giving “hasn’t been cleaned in months,” and I wouldn’t let my worst enemy sleep there. Tried to speak to reception about it and was met with the worst attitude like I was the problem. Excuse me? If you don’t like your job, LEAVE. Don’t take it out on paying guests who are just trying to sleep in a clean space, not catch a rash. Everything about this place is wrong. No standards, no care, no customer service. I wouldn’t even let my suitcase touch the floor in there again. Save yourself the stress. Spend your money somewhere that respects hygiene AND their guests. This ain’t it. A disgusted guest who needed bleach and prayer after staying here.

Terrible. No hot water. Phoned down and phone wasn’t answered. Second time phoned and was told to run it for a while. After 5 mins still no hot water for a bath . No hot water in sink. Tiny room with disgusting air vent outside of window. Huge crack in the sink filthy toilet door. Noise from vent outside kept me awake but had to keep window open because air con was rubbish. Had to perch a fan on a chair for cooler air. Room was NOTHING like the one pictured. In the morning still no hot water and the card electricity switched off. Had to get ready using our phones and leave without a wash ( in the dark) Staff lovely and can’t stress that enough not their fault . I listed all of these faults at check out and was told this would be passed on. There’s no room service and couldn’t get anything to eat when we arrived at about 10pm had to bring in takeaway food ( which they don’t normally allow?!) which staff said would allow. Still waiting for someone to phone to address this awful experience. I actually phoned family to see if they could pick me up so I didn’t have to stay but they were unable that’s the only reason I didn’t leave that night. I paid £186 with Expedia for a night stay here. Never again! Have videos of the water and bath and sink etc but can’t post only can post pictures. The pics are The ‘view’ which was 4 feet away from the bedroom window!
