Leonardo Royal Hotel Glasgow

10/10 Excellent
"I could not fault this hotel, everything was spotless and reception staff were so friendly and welcoming. Spacious and very comfortable room with super bed and terrific shower room. Hotel is ideally located very close to Central station and short walk to heart of city. I left too early to have breakfast so can't comment on that."
