The beds are comfy, rooms are quite clean, found two hairs in bathroom, paid full breakfast and was given only very limited cold food and was asked to pay extra £15 for hot food, then when checking out was told it was by mistake, the breakfast waiter shall have a breakfast guest list to verify all incoming guests this way he would know who is still missing so when we arrived 9:15 am with my son he got only rice flakes with milk … I like the lobby and bar, from outside it is dated but inside quite nice.

Our family stayed at The Apex City Hotel upon our arrival in Scotland. From start to finish our stay in Glasgow was seamless. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable for a family of four. This location was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to do. Many places to visit on foot and many options for transit. We highly recommend this hotel when visiting Glasgow!
