“Great atmosphere and great food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Went to this hotel as part of a ghost tour and dinner deal from Groupon. Arrived in the bar which was very warm and cosy considering how cold it was outside. Bar staff were great and welcoming. Ghost tour was very good (conducted by Trevor Rooney) then back to the hotel for the meal. We sat at a table with another two couples, who were great company. The food was well cooked, presented and served. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. My better half reckons that the sticky toffee pudding was the best she has tasted.All in all, a really enjoyable evening. We will be back for sure. Only problem I have is..... do I risk not getting a seat next time by giving a glowing report. Honesty prevails. Well worth a visit

Room Tip: We only ate in the restaurant, so can't comment. However they set very high standards with their...

went on ghost walk had a fab time it was a freezing cold Glasgow night but still had a fab time our guide Trevor was great !! It was very interesting and although i have been born and bred in Glasgow i didnt even know about Necropolis !! If u havent been up there and you are into ghost stories and gravestones then get booked onto one of the walks...The Cathedral house hotel is a lovely wee cosy place and the food is to die for our meal was delicious...All in all had a fab time....Thanks to Trevor Roonie and all the staff at The Cathedral House Hotel xxx :)

“Great 'Ghost Tour' and Dinner”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I'd never eaten at this hotel before nor ever been on a ghost tour so I was looking forward to both. I was not disappointed. I had taken advantage of a deal voucher to sample the tour and dining experiences. The tour was first class with the guide being extremely interesting and amusing. The hour passed so quickly. The avid tourists all trecked back to the hotel for dinner and the wait was well worth it. Good portions, hot and well served. Even bought a sweet!! Outstanding value for money, deal aside. All in all, a great night and I'll definitely go back.

“I loved this hotel !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

I stayed here for 3 days in October 2011. I had requested a room with a view of the Necropolis, which they gave me. My emails were all answered promptly when I was making inquiries before my trip. .

I had room number 7, which is also occupied by the resident ghost, Jimmy. We never met ( just as well ! ). The room did have a nice view of the Necropolis ( see photo ).

The staff was very friendly. The room was modern, nice flat screen tv, very clean. The breakfast ( which came with the room ) was great. I did not eat dinner there but did have a few tasty beers at the bar one night.

The hotel is located in the old part of Glasgow, a 3 minute walk from the Cathederal, the Necropolis, Provand's Lordship and the St. Mungo Museum of Religious Art and Life.

The Merchant City district ( restaurants and bars galore ) is a 15 minute walk. The walk back is uphill so you can walk of some of your dinner ! There is a subway and bus stop within 4 minutes walk of the hotel.

The hotel is a beautiful 19th century building- do note that there is no elevator so you'll have to climb 2 or 3 floors of stairs.

Again, I loved this hotel and would heartily recommend it.
