I’ve stayed here a lot when going to OVO hydro and this I felt it was too busy!! Rooms were ok but noticed last stain on carpet next to bed that hadn’t been cleaned properly. Bar was as really busy before the concert and bar staff struggled to cope. Breakfast was the same. Really busy with massive queues and not enough tables in restaurant.

Very good service from hotel staff throughout, room was partial river view not the front view I thought we’d have, beds and pillows really uncomfortable. Lots of late night noise from guests which woke us a couple of times early hours in the morning, and doors make a loud slam noise when closing behind you. Stayed in a few crown plaza hotels around the uk this was my least favourite and if returning to Glasgow I would not stay here again. Also the lifts were awful with only one in operation most of the time for a huge hotel.

Tried to change the date, due to unforseen circumstances, but the extra £95 cost made it unacceptable. Not good I'm afraid, I will not be using this hotel group again

Great stay will definantly return
We were welcomed by mohammed , he was very happy and welcoming and shared a few funny jokes. We had booked as it was my daughter and i joint birthday break and we got 2 complimentary drinks which went down a treat. Hotel was clean, and our room was fantastic. The view was over the river and it was lovely to look out onto 😊 We booked dinner,bed & breakfast and we couldnt fault anything. Food was amazing. We couldnt fit in our pudding and our server boxed it up and gave it to us to take to our room. All the staff from the reception, bar and restaurant were very helpful. Cleaning staff very welcoming and polite.

Comfy stay
The colleagues are helpful, courteous and friendly. The food both in the evening and at breakfast was good. Plenty of onsite parking. Good size comfy room. Improvements 1. Ensure all the lifts are operational as there were long waits and queues to use the one small lift that was working. 2. Update the aircon controls in the room to a more modern type. Other than that it was a comfortable stay. Will stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Crowne Plaza, great location, very friendly staff. The room was a good size. The only thing I would say could be better was the pillows... unless you like a super firm pillow!

Crowne Plaza
Was a nice stay, however when checking out was charged double the price for a meal we had the night before, on saying that it was to expensive the receptionist checked and kept saying SHE, me had said the bill was incorrect on checking which took a while, the mistake was realised and then charges to the correct amount taken. My point being receipt was rude, and not very apologetic?
