My stay at the Grasshopper Hotel was a mixed bag. While the central location near Glasgow Central Station was incredibly convenient, the experience was marred by some significant drawbacks. I encountered a room that could be described as quite cramped and lacked basic amenities, and the cleanliness could have been better. However, the friendly staff and good complimentary treats were definite highlights of my visit.

Rooms

I found my room to be small and a bit outdated. It felt cramped, with barely any space around the bed, and the cleanliness left something to be desired. However, the bed itself was comfortable; my main issue was the poorly designed bathroom that made it hard to use the toilet properly.

The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome. They were helpful at check-in and allowed me to store my luggage after checkout. Unfortunately, the staff's attentiveness couldn't mask the shortcomings of the room.

The location of the hotel is one of its strongest points. It's just steps away from Central Station, making it easy to explore Glasgow. However, the surrounding area felt a bit rough, especially during nighttime.

Breakfast had a nice selection, but I didn’t have much of an appetite to enjoy it due to my overall disappointment with the stay. I appreciated the complimentary treats like cakes and ice cream throughout the day, which was a nice touch.

The hotel had some decent amenities, but the room setup was limiting, and I couldn't find basic things in a very small space. The elevator was tiny; I had to make two trips with my suitcase.

My stay at Grasshopper Hotel Glasgow was truly really good. The friendly staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, and the complimentary snacks were a good touch. While the room was a bit snug, it had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The noise from the street was a minor distraction at times, but the overall experience was fantastic.

I had a good stay at Grasshopper Hotel in Glasgow. The location was fantastic, right next to Central Station, making it easy to explore the city (which I loved). The hotel had a cozy, homey vibe with cheerful decor, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, I did find the entrance a bit underwhelming, as it is located in an office building, which made it less impressive initially.

I recently stayed at the Grasshopper Hotel Glasgow, which is wonderfully located right above Central Station. The complimentary homemade treats like cakes and mulled wine were a good surprise, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Although the rooms were a bit on the smaller side, the comfortable bed and quality linens made for a pleasant stay. My only downside was the noise from the breakfast room, which could be a bit disruptive early in the morning. Overall, I found it to be a lovely stay! 😊

My stay at Grasshopper Hotel Glasgow was a mixed bag. The central location next to the train station is a huge plus for exploring the city, but the street scene outside felt a bit unsettling, especially at night. Once inside, I found a modern and cozy atmosphere with helpful staff and thoughtful extras like snacks, though the room had a slight smell upon entering. Overall, while it had its charms, I wouldn't pick this hotel again due to the surrounding area.
