Top Kilmarnock Hotel Reviews

Point A Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Staff helpful at check-in, and the room was clean and bed comfortable. Cant ask for much more."

YOTEL Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed 4 nights at the Yotel in Glasgow. We were initially concerned about the noise from the bars/street across from us that we could here from our 3rd floor room on the east side facing Hope street. But the noise typically died down around 10pm. The room was large and comfortable, although some of the finishes (carpet) could use replacement froms stains etc. Our mini-fridge did not work- and was disappointed they story we were told by someone at the hotel was that is wasn't a fridge- just a cooler. Nonetheless, the staff were the friendliest we've encountered. Would stay again."

Moxy Glasgow SEC

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in three Moxy places in our trip to northern England and Scotland and of the three this one was my favorite. The room they gave us was much more spacious and the staff was much friendlier. It also seemed busy but not so packed as to be uncomfortable. It is a little farther sea from the city centre (apparently there is a Moxy closer to downtown) but this was a good stay and if coming to Glasgow again I would seriously consider staying here again."

The Social Hub Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent and comfortable room. Also close to Duke Street car park. The sauna was excellent."

Maldron Hotel Glasgow City

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel with friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Room was very nice and clean with the bed very comfortable. Only thing that could have been better was breakfast. Quite a small space for obtaining food and unfortunately the hot stuff was luke warm or cold. Overall would recommend as a place to stay."

Moxy Glasgow Merchant City

10/10 Excellent

"Booked for friends and myself for a festival we were early for check in but but we’re booked in anyway staff were great really helpful friends loved the hotel 👌 breakfast was a bit expensive for what was available though"
