Leonardo Royal Hotel Glasgow

Central location

The hotel is comfortable, clean with the most friendly and helpful staff. Beds and duvet excellent quality. I opted for the breakfast, which I have to say is the best hotel breakfast I have had. So much choice and the quality was excellent. I also had an evening meal here which was also good. The location is excellent and minutes away from central station so ideal if you’re travelling without a car. Close to shops, restaurants and bars all within walking distance. Couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough. Excellent value and will def book here again when I’m back in Glasgow.

We stayed for 3 weeks altogether in a superior king room with a view of the river and really enjoyed this hotel. It is in a central location - 2 mins from Glasgow Central station, 2 mins from the Subway/underground rail, 2 mins from heaps of good shops, right by the river, and 5-10 mins walk from a variety of good restaurants. This is a very well run hotel. All the hotel staff - reception, bar, housekeeping, maintenance, security - were very friendly and helpful and any requests we made were fulfilled quickly. The room was well-equipped and in good condition. The bed was comfortable and as we like to sleep without heating on we needed 2 duvets in an exceedingly cold snap, which were readily provided. There is a nespresso machine for a decent cup of coffee and plenty of tea choices and little shortbreads and the staff are helpful and generous with all supplies (in our 3 week stay we wanted loads of decaf pods every day and they went out of their way to bring it especially). The shower was good and the bathroom was clean and kept that way. There is a bar downstairs where you can also get decent bar meals but not cheap and some choices were definitely better than others for quality and cooking skill. The breakfast buffet is excellent, though pretty pricey so not for every day of a long stay.

Have stayed here a few times recently while en route to events or another destination. Travelled solo on these occasions and found that the hotel offered a friendly, safe and pleasant environment for these trips. Arrived early and asked the hotel to store my luggage while I went shopping. I was told my room was ready and having just come off an early morning flight was delighted with this news! Staff are always professional and helpful and the hotel, although busy, is quiet and calm . I was in a room overlooking the railway and the river and thought it would be noisy but it was not due to triple glazing. Air conditioning and heating excellent. It’s great to have a fridge in the room, especially in warm weather . Lidl just across the road and the hotel is in an excellent location for shopping, subway and restaurants.

Good central location, but appears to be in a dodgy area at night. Lots of drunk/drugged people at night especially around Union Street, Jamaica Street and the back streets. Close to stations, taxi rank outside. Maybe this is just Glasgow centre at night but I think people need to be aware. Breakfast lots of good options but some awareness of allergens/ingredients needed as the allocated and labelled 'Vegan Bloody Mary' section included a sauce containing fish as a main ingredient, which should be easily resolved now they are aware. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable, and air con was nice during heatwave. . Trains a little noisy at times but double glazing did help reduce this. Staff were all friendly and helpful.
