Millennium Hotel Glasgow

Only popped in here for a stop gap before dinner as we had time to spare. A wedding was on in the main hotel so we went to the little bar attached which is part of the hotel but has it’s own door. I didn’t know about this section but my husband had been before. We got a nice seat at the windows facing George’s square so could relax and people watch. Décor basic, football was on tv and it had a pool table. I got a water and asked for a slice of lemon an got a wedge of lime which I have to my husband as he had a beer. Looking forward to trying the actual hotel side for food.

If I could give a negative star I would. As a frequent business traveller I’ve stayed in some dumps but this place is the tops. My first room was filthy, dirty carpet, chipped bath, lumps of floor tile grout dotted around the bathroom, no varnish left on any of the bedroom furniture. I wiped my feet when I left the room and spent the remainder of the evening scratching.
I requested another room and it was provided with minimum fuss. It was fine apart from the view, Room 105 overlooks a corrugated steel roof which buts the window sill of the bedroom window.
Then there is the food. Don’t eat the fish. It stinks. The curry that replaced the fish had the consistency and flavour of three day old gravy.
Would I stay again? Only if there was nowhere else. ON THE PLANET.

The setting was absolutely gorgeous. We decided to sit on the patio and watch the world go by. The service was efficient like a well oiled machine. The selection of sandwiches was limited — one in cucumber, one in ham & mustard and one in tuna. Too original for my liking. The scone was a touch on the hard side but eatable because I had my coffee to wash it down with. The cupcake was nice but the decoration was a let down. They had used a piping bag to throwsome cream on it at the last minute. More care and attention next time please!
We managed to get this on a deal otherwise I would not have paid full price for this experience.

I’ve only ever stayed in this hotel once, but when I did it was a lovely experience and I’d definitely go back!
Colin and I had been out for dinner at Jamie’s Italian and decided afterwards that we’d just get a hotel in town somewhere rather than head home. Treating ourselves so we were! We headed across George Square and asked about a room in here, and luckily for us there was one left for that night! We booked it and headed upstairs to the room.
The room itself was gorgeous. Very dated townhouse type feel to it and I loved it; massive high ceilings, spacious room, bay windows etc. Wonderful! The bed was obscenely comfy and the night’s sleep had was glorious! I’d definitely head back here if I could afford it; not the cheapest place on the planet!

Great room right in the middle of all the action, and my room was ready when I arrived before noon. Huge plus for that! I will say that I found the internet to be.quirky. I could only connect with one device (my laptop) so ipad and iphone were out. I also tried using my laptop as a router (macbook) but that didn’t work either. Otherwise, great stay!

The Millennium Hotel annoys me greatly because it always reminds me of that crap Robbie Williams song, God he is such a twat. Putting that to one side though the hotel has a dominating, ostentatious presence on George Square and this huge Victorian building looks very impressive when it is all lit up at night.
Despite the grandeur of the exterior the rooms at the Millennium Hotel are very dull and bland. They are neither modern nor old fashioned and quaint. All the furnishings in the rooms are various shades of inoffensive beige and I struggle to see what warrants this hotels prices and 4 star status.
I have had afternoon tea in the Millennium Lounge and post work cocktails in Georgics Bar and while I have no complaints about either I wouldn’t rave about them. The cocktails were delicious but there are loads of great bars and restaurants in Glasgow to have cocktails in for a fraction of the price. Really what you are paying for here are the great views of George Square out of the conservatory.
All in all if I could some up my review in one word, taking into account the prices charged at this hotel and it’s apparent 4 star status, the word would be… meh.

A nice hotel overlooking George Square.
It’s really nice inside with great rooms, clean and tidy. All you can ask for really.
It was the first hotel I stayed in where the TV greeted me by name in a dodgy teletext style affair. I later learned it knew who I was from when I swiped my credit card downstairs.
For that brief moment though… FREAKY.
It’s pretty big inside, with a nice bar that looks out onto George Square. That’s the real selling point really, the location. Disappointed I was then, when I looked out my window to see a brick wall next to Queen Street Station.
Hmph.

Sadly, I’ve never stayed in the Millennium Hotel Glasgow so this isn’t a review of the hotel. What I can review is the very fancy bar that sits overlooking George Square.
I went with my boyfriend as it was his birthday and we wanted to push the boat out and go to somewhere a little bit spesh. We naturally went for cocktails and we were mightily impressed by the tasty treats that we sampled. I should stress that the round for two people cost over a tenner, but for a special treat it was worth it.
I highly recommend the Espresso Martini. It was a crisp, tasty, interesting mix and absolutely delicious.

the millenium hotel glasgow is attached to queen street station — and looks onto george square — so very central and in heart of shopping district
the famouse square is host to huge christmas displays/​ice rink and there is usually some sort of exhibition/​concert on most weeks throughout the year
the hotel has a glass bar/​restaurant frontage which is very popular — great for people-​watching — cater well for large parties
