Native Glasgow

Loved the location and the premises. The penthouse with its balcony made it especially wonderful. The staff was more than terrific. Love having a place with room to stretch out and relax. Also liked the history of the building and the decor featuring images of travel posters from the past.

The accommodation is very stylish with a considerable amount of thought put into the details - such as the door handles. We were at the back so it was very quiet, in spite of being located in the centre of the city and next to a train station. All communication with reception was very friendly and helpful - clearly the staff care about their jobs and the accommodation and a small maintenance issue was dealt with immediately. It was very convenient to have a reception and somewhere to leave luggage - definitely a bonus. The bathroom was large and well-appointed and the shower was fabulous. We slept really well and there was lots of storage in the bedroom.

The location is amazing, especially if you plan to use public transport to get around Glasgow. The airport bus has stops 2 mins walk. And buses to outer areas all leave close by, also train. Great restaurants all around and GOMA too. The staff tried their best to be helpful and were friendly. We booked a premium studio and it was roomy and had comfortable bed, couch and small kitchen. Plenty of space for luggage.

The hotel is ideally located for accessing central Glasgow facilities such as restaurants, museums, galleries, walking tours, exhibitions and shops. The Glasgow Queen Street station is a few walking strides to reach which makes it easy when pulling suitcases or carrying rucksacks to the Native from the station. No taxi needed. It is also convenient being so close to the station from the hotel to achieve day trips out by train. For example we went to Falkirk to see the Kelpies sculptures using the train, bus and walking. Likewise, the subway underground train situated in Buchanan Street is within walking distance from the Native. Again, this widens choices about travel to other nearby Scottish areas. We dined in Partick one evening. Making the most of easy use of public transport is a bonus for guests. The buses are near the hotel in terms of stops and access. We took a bus to the Burrel Collection in Pollock Park. So easy, being 3 miles away from the hotel. Getting around Glasgow is just as important as staying in a hotel that offers guidance about local transport. The Native is in the best site for this.

I spoke on the phone to 2 knowledgeable and helpful guys, Gorgios(? night time) and Ian( day time). They helped sort out my booking. The information had been passed on to the lady at reception so she knew the story and was so pleasant and chatty. The night reception guy on Sunday night was so helpful too. We wanted a coffee/tea when we came back from a wedding but had no milk. I called the mobile number we'd been given. He was going to bring it up to us but my hubby went down and he was waiting at the lift door when it opened with the wee bottle of milk. There were teabags and sugar and a small pa k of proper, good quality, ground coffee and a cafetiere. I hate instant coffee so that was a lovely bonus for me. What a brilliant find! This is a great studio apartment. It has everything you'd need during your stay. In the kitchen, there are plenty utensils and dishes, so you could cook a full meal if you wanted to. Everything is spotless! The bed is a super king I think. It was very comfortable and the pillows were just how I like them. The furniture and soft furnishings are the best of quality. The bathroom is a great size, no window, but the lighting is bright. The shower is BIG and so easy to use and access. The towels were very plush and a great size.
