Top Darvel Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Glasgow

Leonardo Royal Hotel Glasgow

8/10 Good
"We had two rooms on different dates, both executive rooms on 11th floor, but quite different experiences. Room 1108 was quiet with a corner view of the River Clyde. Room 1101 was noisy both because of the view over Glasgow Central rail station and the constant departure of trains late at night, as well as the clattering pipes and scraping aircon fan and noisy neighbours in an adjacent room. In 1108 the privacy shutter on the door lens was missing, which unfortunately meant the hallway light was brightly focused on the bed (we stuffed it with tissue to maintain privacy). Breakfasts were good and the staff polite. The executive lounge was useful for free tea/coffee/snacks."
