An “iconic” and historic Glasgow hotel is currently available to book at a major discount. The voco Grand Central Glasgow is situated next to Glasgow Central Station in the heart of Scotland’s largest city.
It is located within one of Glasgow’s most prestigious buildings, with the hotel having been a landmark in the city since it first opened its doors in 1883.
At the moment, an overnight stay for two at the voco Grand Central Glasgow can be booked for £159 through Wowcher. With the standard price of a one-night stay at the hotel being £304, this marks a discount of 48 per cent.
All of the rooms at the voco Grand Central Glasgow come with amenities such as flatscreen televisions, tea and coffee making facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Meanwhile, the “spacious” bathrooms come stocked with bathrobes and slippers.
Also included in the Wowcher deal is a £40 food and drink voucher to use at its restaurant and champagne bar. Among the current highlights of the menu are pulled beef brisket with smoked tomato ketchup, cheddar, and chilli waffle and smoked haddock fishcakes with confit lemon and fennel remoulade.
The voco Grand Central Glasgow has earned mostly positive feedback from recent visitors. The hotel currently has an average rating of four out of five on Tripadvisor based on 5,470 reviews.
One guest shared: “We booked an overnight for my wife’s birthday. As soon as we arrived, we were very impressed by the hotel and how it had been done up. It is simply stunning, with a real grandeur feel to it.”
A second tripadvisor user wrote: “I loved my stay in this historic hotel right next to the railway station. The rooms were spacious and the beds super comfortable. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. I would definitely stay here again and thought it was real value for money.”
On the other hand, a less positive review reads: “Wish I could give this five stars but it’s just tired. Obviously it was grand in its day but things look beaten up interiors do form my opinions when I travel.
“Especially the enter/exit doors that just some stain or paint attention are so desperately needed and would make such a difference.”
If you are looking to book a Glasgow getaway, but the voco Grand Central Glasgow doesn’t appeal, there is thankfully a massive variety of hotels to choose from in the city. Some of the highlights in the heart of Glasgow include the three-star Rennie Mackintosh Station Hotel and the upmarket Glasgow Marriott Hotel.
