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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Good location
The hotel was clean , staff friendly and lovely location next to the botanical gardens. The only issue we had was that in the morning we could not have breakfast as we had not booked the night before. Make sure you book in for breakfast if you want some. Fortunately there are lovely cafes along Byres Road which serve great breakfasts.

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.

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.

Instructions to check in after regular office hours were sent on the day of travel. Even if you booked in this hotel, they do not tell you clearly that your room is actually next door at Embassy apartments. I was left alone outside for a good amount of time at midnight because they sent lockbox instructions during my travel day so I did not get the message until I called Expedia. I had sent messages days prior to my arrival that I will be arriving late. No notification to expect lockbox instructions and that no one will be at the front desk. Expedia was no help either as I was asking for another hotel and they said they cannot help because there were check in instructions. This was a very traumatic experience and both this hotel and Expedia did not respond to my demand for a refund of at least the first night due to the horrible check in.

Fijne, schone en nette accomodatie. Goed ontbijt. Het enige is dat de vloer in de kamer erg kraakt als je erover loopt. Zelfs wanneer er in de kamer naast je gelopen wordt hoor je het gekraak van de vloer.
