Hampton by Hilton Glasgow Central Reviews

The hotel is located on West Campbell Street, it sits just on the corner of Bath Street.

It’s a 15 minute walk from Glasgow Central station, and around 10 minutes from Queen Street station.

The location allows easy access to Glasgow’s main shopping areas. There is also a lot of restaurants, bars and nightlife in the immediate area around the hotel and many more only a short walk away.

Our room (511) was on the top floor of the hotel and looked out onto West Campbell Street with the fairly grim looking car park as your main view. The room was a decent size room with a large window which had very good blackout curtains.

There was the usual amenities in the room, including a safe, reasonably sized TV, tea/coffee making facilities. There was also a good sized desk and a reasonable number of sockets around the room.

Soundproofing isn’t fantastic and as a result disturbed us slightly despite being on the 5th floor. Unsure why more wasn’t done about this during the refurbishment. We were staying on a Friday night and could hear the nightclubs down the street very clearly in our room, it was like they were directly under us but they were down the street. The nightclub noise went on until the early hours, as you would expect in the centre of Glasgow on a Friday night. We were then woken up by a passing marching band before 9am, it was as if the drummer was in my room. The roads in the immediate aren’t the busiest in Glasgow, but when there are larger truck/buses sat at the lights outside you can very clearly hear them in your room. It would probably be fine mid week, but I wouldn’t stay here at the weekend if you are in anyway a light sleeper!

The bathroom was a decent size with a sliding door which doubles up as the wardrobe door. Everything was nice and clean.

The shower was nice and hot, had ok pressure with one of these eco shower heads on which seemed to restrict the pressure to an extent.

The toiletries on offer are the normal Hampton Spa Therapy ones in boxes mounted to the walls, which are basic but nice enough.

Breakfast is served to the left of reception Monday-Friday 6am – 10am and 6am-11am Saturday & Sunday.

The hotel was reasonably quiet when we were there, so breakfast was quiet too. The breakfast area was pretty tight, even with just 3 or 4 people in it, I wouldn’t like to see it on a busier morning. It was a fair bit smaller than other Hampton breakfast areas I’ve seen.

The selection was good for a Hampton breakfast, with the Scottish addition of haggis to the hot food! The quality was ok, the eggs were the usual packet stuff and the sausages whilst tasty, had a questionable amount of meat in them. The waffles were tasty, loved all of the syrups and sauces they had to choose from for them.

We didn’t eat or drink in the hotel. They serve lunch and dinner in the bar area, as well as a 24hr snack menu with Pizza and a few other basic dishes. The hotel has a 24hr bar for guests which is open till midnight for non-residents.

The hotel does not have onsite parking.

There is a fairly ugly car park directly across the road run by Q-Park which the hotel offers a small discount on for guests. I think it is around the £18 mark for 24 hours with their discount. It’s pretty pricy, but handy for the hotel if nothing else.
