Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff, walking distance to Concert Hall and shopping.Excellent breakfast. Room clean, good shower!
Nothing to dislike, suited us perfectly.

It was convenient for the city centre in general and only 10 minutes walk from Queen St Station. Hotel clean and comfortable with good heating (Feb stay). Quiet room away from main streets.

"I was very well received, and the hotel served my need for somewhere to overnight, but had I needed to be rested the next day, the paper thin walls would not have allowed for an undisturbed night's sleep." (97693520)
The bathroom was apparently very clean.
The bed sagged in the middle, the duvet cover and curtains had cigarette burns, the walls were paper thin.

there was no hairdryer in my room which i told reception about before we went out. When we returned the receptionist had got me one which I thought was very efficient and helpful.
the very steep hill you had to climb at the end of the night not ideal for people with walking difficulties

"This is a great location but there are others nearby. Competitive rates but breakfast was only fair. (Canned fruit salad, instant coffee.) Service was not overly cheerful or friendly. Hotel was kind of dowdy but the beds were comfy, linen was clean, room was made up daily, coffee/tea maker in room. All the basics, no frills. No ice, no elevator, no smiles." (97923358)
The location, large and clean bathroom, windows that open, rooms fairly large.
smelly, older room, furniture cheap, no services other than breakfast No lift.Difficult entrance with large bags.

However the situation was not able to be rectifyed as there was only one member of staff on reception & all other rooms were fully booked & hotels too, got clean linen & towels though and thankfully a full refund. Stayed in this hotel the previous week and everything was excellent then, but wouldn't stay again because of the above." (99300761)

"For a budget stay in Glasgow, I would certainly recommend this hotel." (99354732)
The accommodation, whilst being fairly basic was clean and tidy and the staff were helpful. There is space for a nice patio to the rear of the hotel which would be lovely to relax in if garden seating was provided!
I think the hotel is probably a bit off the beaten track for the elderly, this part of the city has some steep hills to climb.

The room was well prepared, nicely decorated and clean. The staff friendly and helpful.
Some other guests were very noisy early in the mornings eg 5.30 am and we did not get our requested early morning call so were late for breakfast on one morning.

Bedside Lamps did not work & Night Porter was unable to put right - just gave my husband a new bulb which did not help. Toilet not properly clean & as we had just returned from abroad where everything is spotless it seemed more marked" (99831915)

No lift to top floor expecially with baggage to carry up, television had bad reception, could do with a bit more detail to cleanliness though, a good spring clean and attention to detail

"THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME TOO GLASGOW,WE FELT WE PICKED A GOOD HOTEL TO START FROM AS IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE SHOPS AND PUBS BUT WAS JUST BACK FROM THE MAIN STREET FOR A PEACEFULL NIGHTS SLEEP,AS I SAID BEFORE I THINK FOR THE MONEY YOU PAY ITS GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY," (99432151)
THE HOTEL WAS IN A GREAT LOCATION AND HAD EVERYTHING THAT WE NEEDED,WE HAD AN UPSTAIRS ROOM FACING THE FRONT STREET SO WE HAD THE SUNSHINE FIRST THING ON THE MORNING WHICH WAS NICE,STAFF WERE FRIENDLY AND HELPFULL,WE WERE PLEASED WITH OUR STAY AND FOR THE PRICE WE PAID YOU COULD'NT ASK FOR MORE.
MY ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THE PARKING MIGHT BE A PROBLEM AT MORE BUSY TIMES OF YEAR AS YOU HAD TOO PARK IN THE STREET,BUT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CARPARK NEARBY.

"We reason we chose to stay at the Rennie Mackintosh Hotel is because I am a big fan of his. I was very disappointed to see that there was not a real Mackintosh theme to the hotel. But it was clean and comfortable and ideally located. The breakfast was also a good size and you had choice." (99717655)

Lack of rennie mackintosh influence, early check out but they did not chase us out as we were a bit late checking out
