The Z Hotel Glasgow is often praised for its prime location, right next to George Street and very close to Queen Street Station, making it ideal for exploring the city and accessing transportation. The clean and modern rooms are appreciated, though some guests have noted that the double rooms can be compact and some rooms lack windows. Guests find it offers good value, especially considering its proximity to Glasgow Queen Street and the convenience of reaching central attractions on foot.

charmed by this stay

welcome upgradebirthday postcardcomplimentary winecommunity feeling
i found a welcome upgrade to a window room when i got to my room, also a postcard with birthday wishes. staff had added a box of chocolates and i felt very grateful. i got told about free wine and cheeseboard every thursday and saturday. the community feeling stood out, a nice surprise.
one very small detail was that the double bed had access from only one side, because the other was against the wall. this make move around little harder.

The location was amazing! It was right in the center. The staff were friendly and super helpful. They kept our bags as we arrived early. I also enjoyed the cheese crackers and wine that was offered. It was a nice touch.
The rooms are tiny! There isn't much room for a suitcase so if you have more than one you're out of luck. I could hear water running when someone used the toilet and this kept me awake. The floor was sticky. It was not a pleasant feeling.

the location was very central. the facility was clean. the room, a double room, was compact but enough for my needs.
the room was small. the concept for the bathroom with glass walls offered no privacy (i was like in a fishbowl). i could not open a window to get some fresh air in the room.
