Marks Hotel in Glasgow

Excellent location, close to shopping and many restaurants. Everything you need is just a few steps away. Very warm service with a smile, and the room was perfectly clean. Do not have that big hotel chain feeling, very cosy atmosphere, and very good breakfast. This is our second time staying at this hotel, and we will definately go back.

Room furnishings and fittings starting to look a bit old. Wallpaper in the room was enough to give you a headache. Waste bin in the bathroom still had the previous guests waste in it when I checked in. Not great. Ok for one night. I probably wouldnt stay here again. There are plenty of similar priced hotels in Glasgow to choose from.

Close to all amenities and surrounded by numerous top class eating places. Spoilt for choice. Car parking not an issue as Q park within walking distance of hotel. Staff friendly and attentive. Rooms were clean, with furnishings and decor well colour coordinated and pleasing to the eye. Overall, this hotel offers good value for money.

Great location, great staff, great breakfast, but the rooms and the public areas are tired and need a makeover. Promised a superior room and was obviously shown to a bog standard room with tatty wallpaper, cracked sink and not so clean carpet

The location of the hotel is very convenient, but the hotel itself left much to be desired. My room was on the first floor at the front (right on a main street), which meant that it was incredibly loud, even with the windows closed. The second story of the buses looked right into my room as they were waiting at the stoplight at the corner. Also, the […] bed linens did not seem at all clean when I arrived; there were lots of hairs all over the bed linens. From the folds in the sheets it looked like they had been changed, but somehow the washing didn't remove the hairs. The good news is that the staff were always very nice and the location is really convenient. But I'm a sound sleeper and I had to wear ear plugs to be able to sleep, and the hair situation was just alarming. Lees meer

please with every aspect of the Marks hotel and we will go back,

Our booking was changed from the Marks to the H I Express. This I believe was unusual. Changed bookings are normally directed to the main holiday Inn,which is connected to the Express Inn. We could not fault the staff, they inhanced our stay. Thier friendly attitude made up for not being booked into the main Holiday Inn.

Very friendly staff. No question or matter was too small for them. Room was comfortable, warm and clean. A definite recommendation.

was at the hotel for week end shopping with the girls was nice only fault was breakfast very busy and room had to many tables close together busy busy

We arrived early at the hotel and were greeted by extremely friendly staff who advised us that our room was ready for us and throughout our stay we had absolutely no complaints at all and I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

The Hotel it's self is lovely although I was shocked at how rude the dining staff were. My cousin and I came downstairs in time for breakfast and gave our room number and waited to be seated but the woman at the door did not believe we were guests of the hotel and asked to see out room key, which was not only completely rude,but embarrassing as there […] were people behind us sniggering and they did not get asked for their room card! who in their right mind would just wander in from the street to get breakfast?! It really put a downer on our morning. Lees meer

Recently returned from a 3 night stay at this hotel. We were quickly checked in to our room which was spacious and modern and clean. The hotel is ideally situated in Bath Street, 5 minute walk from Buchanan Galleries. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in the surrounding area. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast in the mornings and though the […] hotel was busy the staff worked hard to make sure everyone was served. We also had a pre-theatre supper meal at the hotel one night which was very good value for a three course meal for two which included a bottle of wine. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The location of this hotel is very close to the city centre whilst being in quiet street. There was a good choice of breakfast, both continental and cooked which was served by polite and friendly staff. Unfortunately the rooms were extremely hot, making it difficult to sleep. The garish decor didn't help either!

Lovely hotel, staff friendly, ideally situated for shopping

Marks is central and very reasonable. Rooms are clean and the breakfast buffet is decent.

Only criticism we had was that although the breakfast was lovely it was not very hot at all. Location was perfect for everything. room was fine and cleanliness was excellent. Will definately book again.

the hotel is old and need a real update. too far of a walk from the city center. breakfast is 2 stars, very very basic.

Great location, nice hotel. No complains.

Great great great hotel. Was more than pleased with everything.

Great otel, great location, wonderful staff. We actually booked two twin rooms and were offered a penthouse apartment for the same price. It was amazing!

Brill location which means convenient to get around

St Mark’s hotel is located in the heart of city centre within walking distance to the major shopping centre and other commonly known high street store and numerous 24 hr small shops. The hotel staffs are polite, friendly and willing to offer advice. The hotel has an array of restaurants, but evening meals can be considerably pricey so be aware, but […] there are others which are reasonably priced and good food. The rooms are basic with the exception of the Superior Rooms but they come with a price tag to match nevertheless rooms are clean, tidy and basically furnished with Tea & Coffee facilities and the added bonus of Wi-Fi. The major downside is the rooms don’t have any air conditioning or mini safe and those at the rear of the hotel have the added nuisance of the air conditioning units of adjacent buildings not ideal if you want to sleep windows ajar for cool air. A number of the guest like us mentioned non-functioning extractor fans in the bathrooms and signs of mould a consequence, but this should not detract you from staying there. The breakfast selection is fairly acceptable, but the bar is slightly on the expensive side, walking around you’ll find a number of pubs some with an extensive range of whiskeys, idea if you are found of this beverage or want to try them out. A another major drawback is parking and you are effectively forced to use the adjacent multi story secure car park, which although discounted for guests of the hotel for a week’s stay you are stung for considerable amount. The car parking fiasco is not mentioned anywhere so be prepared. The overall experience is that the hotel represents value for money, in a central location and within easy reach of the motorway, it not 4* but fairly close. Lees meer

Great setting for the centre of Glasgow, stayed during the Take That concerts, bus stop on Renfield street, which is the street next to hotel, had express buses going directly to Hampden. The two guys on reception when we arrived were first class, really friendly and welcoming.

In The Marks you couldn't get closer to the shops, from our window on the 7th floor you could literally see Buchanan Galleries. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the room and bathroom were spotless. I would definitely come back and stay in the Marks!

We had the chance to have a suite at the last floor. In fact it was really a mezzanine upstairs with a living room and bathroom downstairs. Fantastic view with a glass wall from top to bottom. Wonderful breakfast, nice people, very clean, very well located in the shopping area. All this with un unbeatable price. can you ask more ?

I stayed for 6 days in this hotel and on a whole I was very happy with the hotel and service.The rooms were bright and airy with sliding doors which could be opened fully. The breakfast was extensive and tasty. I ate in the hotel restuarant twice and was happy on both occasions (they have some good deals). On a whole, the front desk staff were friendly […] and helpful (I had trouble with my laptop and the young man at the desk at night time went out of his way to recommend a computer shop who could fix it). Very easy access to the bus station, Glasgow Concert Hall, main shopping streets. There is no gym there but a gym only a few doors away has good deals on 1 or 3 day passes. Highly recommend!!

The staff was pleasant and helpful, food in the restaurant was extremely good, location was very convenient for our purposes and the free WIFI wasa definite plus.

Arrived to a busy check in area but staff very polite, friendly and apologetic for delay in finding my online booking. Great standard of breakfast included which was made more enjoyable by the humour of the young man hosting it. Would definately return in the future.

The placement of hotel is very good,very near to everything.great rooms

A most enjoyable stay was had at the Marks Hotel in Glasgow - the welcome by all the staff was great - the hotel ticked all the boxes for us - disappointed that others don't share our feelings but can't please all of the people all of the time. This was our first stay in Glasgow having visited before for shopping trips mostly. Have to say we'll be […] back and would use the Marks Hotel again for its convenient location friendly staff who looked after all our needs. Lees meer

I knew the location of the hotel but also read of previous reviews and wasn't disappointed. We arrived early and left our bag to come back later, so this gave us time to go and get some lunch and a bit of shopping (this stay was for my wife's birthday). The hotel is parallel with Sauchiehall Street, which leads you directly to the Buchanan Galleries, […] which is no more than 5 minutes away. If you walk in the opposite direction to the Galleries, at the top of Sauchiehall Street, you'll find an array of different food outlets and pubs - pretty much anything and everything to cover your pallet and budget! The hotel check in was effortless and once in room, was not disappointed with the level of finish and cleanliness - I've stayed in 5 star hotels before and this was right up there with them. When we went out for the evening, reception asked if there was anything they could help with and offered suggestions of local options for eating and drinking, which was greatly appreciated. Would we stay again ............ you better believe it and are looking to go back and take the kids this time! Lees meer

We were completely satisfied with every aspect of the hotel. We particularly note the great and willing assistance of the hotel staff when we were haveing difficulty hiring a car. Also, the meals were excellent.

If you are a walker, this is definitely the hotel for you! It is a short walk to bus stations, railroad and underground trains and the delightful fashion district as well as nearby historical sites. My husband and I arrived by plane at the Glasgow Airport, took a bus to Buchanan Street in City Center. After a short walk we arrived at the hotel and were […] greeted by a friendly and helpful desk clerk named, Lorraine. Our room (1 Double, 2 Twins) was ample size for my husband and I as well as our 2 adult children. The bathroom was immaculate. The beds were a little hard, but nothing that prevented us from getting a good night's sleep. I would recommend this hotel to my family and friends. We had such a good experience during this stay that we returned after a 5 day side trip to London. This time our room was located in the front and we had to close the windows at night to sleep because it was too noisy to have the windows open. If I was visiting during the warmer months I would make sure that they had air conditioning because you cannot sleep with the street noise. Breakfast was included and one had a choice of either a hot buffet (scrambled eggs, tomatoes, sausage, etc) or Continental breakfast (yogurt, fruit, cereal, croissants, etc). Lees meer

I stay in lots of hotels for business and pleasure and usually go back to the same hotels that I like. However, tried somewhere new on my recent stay in Glasgow at the Marks Hotel. The Good Points. Good location on Bath street, very near the shops, bars, nightlife etc. Room (505) was comfortable enough, good beds, clean, flat screen tv - all the […] usual stuff you'd expect of a 4 star hotel Common areas are starting to look tired, but nothing too off putting. Not so Good No aircon in the room, meant the room was very hot, and the windows that did open, only did so slightly. The room has huge glass windows, south facing, so got hot very quickly - and this is in April! Attached restaurant/bar was good - had a good meal with very good service. Room Service Breakfast in room was wrong - one regular and one veggie, both turned out to be regular, and there were missing items. Would I stay here again? Not really, as I do like an air con'd room, and there are nicer hotels for similar prices in Glasgow. However, it is still a good place to stay, if aircon is not an issue for yo Lees meer

My husband and I stayed here for our wedding anniversary and had a great time. On arrival we were allocated a room with a city view on the 5th floor. The view was not up to much but you could see some of the surrounding city blocks! The room was nicely decorated and was very clean and comfortable. We had dressing gowns and slippers plus extra pillows […] and nice toiletries. The concierge on the desk was extremely helpful and recommended places for us to eat and how to get to the main shopping area. He also offered to call a taxi if wee needed one and said that he could organise reservations for us if we wanted to eat in teh hotel restaurant. The Marks Hotel is quite literally in th centre of the city and we were no more than 10-15 minutes walk from any of the main parts of town and is only 5 minutes from Central Station in a taxi. The room was a bit noisy but given that you are so close to everything you cannot expect it to be totally peaceful. We had a great weekend break here and would definately go back to Glasgow, we would of course book the Marks Hotel for our stay and happily recommend it if you want to be right in the town centre with everything on your doorstep.

Marks Hotel feels like you are in the heart of Glasgow. You are mere minutes away from train stations and bus terminals, and local tourist destinations are easily found/reached on foot. The staff members were always cheery and could answer any question we threw at them (spoiler alert: we didn't ask that many). I guess the hotel really loves the idea […] of being the heart of a city. Case in point: the interior of our room was red; very, very red. If you are a fan of red, then you will most certainly enjoy your stay at this hotel. If you are of the tall persuasion, such as ourselves, your feet will dangle over the edge of the mattress as you sleep—unless you sleep in an odd variation of a capital g. We were pleasantly surprised when the front desk clerk told us that our room reservation included a complimentary breakfast in the hotel restaurant. The breakfast started at 7:00 every weekday to easily accommodate early risers such as ourselves. The breakfast serves both a hot and cold buffet, and there is a vegetarian hot breakfast option which I find to be fantastic. Although the hotel doesn't have an exercise court, at the end of the block is a fitness centre that allows you to pay by the day. Lees meer
