Very comfortable room and very welcoming staff. Hotel is very handy for Botanic Gardens, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and local restaurants etc. Breakfast is good value including both continental and full cooked items. I will definitely make a return visit.
The person at the front desk was lovely and helpful. The room was clean, and the property was an inconvenient location for restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions . we were on the main floor at the front so it was a bit noisy from the street however we did not realize the windows were open a crack.

Great location with free parking, friendly staff, favourite place to stay when in Glasgow.
Friendliness from the staff throughout our stay from arrival to breakfast to checking-out. Room was huge for 3 persons, bathroom and sleeping area were spotless, beddings were comfy and fresh. Room was keeping us throughout our stay too! Highly recommended!
Very happy with our stay, rooms was spacious and comfortable, excellent location, easy to reach city center by public transport and walking, also very easy getting in and out of town by car.
Definitely will recommend and use it again
A charming place that has exactly what I needed and no more or less. The people are wonderfully friendly. The location cannot be beat with the entrance to the river path just across the street.
Loved the traditional look outside, felt really friendly. Staff very friendly. My room was comfortable brilliant shower and bed comfortable

Excelente location with friendly staff. The lack of an elevator was an issue. If you can't climb stairs, request a ground floor room.
There's a nice river trail steps from the hotel.
The Botanic Garden and many good restaurants are a short walk away.
Ambassaor Hotel was a perfect stay for the one bed room. Staff exceptional. Will defeneitly stay again

Whilst parking is available, the spaces are tight and made difficult if other cars are parked poorly. The lane leading to the parking will test your suspension, so go easy!
The room itself was spotless with good heating and ventilation. It could do with a bit of modernisation and the floor are uneven. Its an old building so to be expected.
Staff were friendly and attentive. I didnt have the breakfast but it smelt good as it wafted into my room!

We arrived very very late after many travel delays and we were able to enter the hotel and our room easily! thanks!!
The hotel had limited off site parking, so ended up having to pay for street parking which was quite expensive. However, the location was ideal for the West End of Glasgow.
Overall. Very happy with the stay. Staff were very nice and hospitable. Free parking tho a little limited but one can’t complain. Shame the council are not helpful with the parking up front.

A listed property overlooking The Botanics in the west end of Glasgow. Spotless and very comfortable and quiet .Great for the price. Breakfast excellent. Staff pleasant. Excellent location near subway , main bus routes into central Glasgow and 25 minutes to airport.
10/10 for man on reception stayed in room 15 which had no view other than roof plus room has support beam right next to bed but room was satisfactorily clean with exception of few high areas with dust but overall clean and tidy and nice hotel. Breakfast was ok nothing great but to sum up service and hotel lovely and definitely would stay again maybe not in that room.
Lovely little hotel, very clean, excellent service in a beautiful location. Only small criticisms is a very wobbly wardrobe in the room which didnt feel very safe, no toiletries in bathroom (soap dispensers empty), and a poor choice of drinks in room. Not enough to put me off staying again, I would certainly be back, but I'd be aware to bring coffee, soap and shower gel next time!
