I booked this through Serviced Apartments International and I stayed here while i attended the Grand Retails Trust Ball. I found it to be very well located, just 5 mins from the ball and city centre.
In all my 36 hours in Glasgow were fantastic.

Its always re-assuring to be greeted by a smiling face when you enter a hotel and we were greeted by a lovely young lady!

The Spires had just re-located and my concern was teething trouble. But there were none. The staff had been well briefed and everything was in its place and organised.

The accomodation is fabulous. Well laid out, and very well equipped, felt like home.

Staff were on hand 24h if required and nothing was a problem.

This is the sort of place everyone would wish for as a city bolt hole.

Bed was very comfy, and sleeping was no issue.

This my will be my stop over in future in Glasgow.

Cheers.

We arrived in Glasgow before reception opened (that is the fastest I have ever been through an international arrival - way to go GLA!). After waiting a short time outside of the building, we were buzzed in. I had forgotton to warn them that we would be arriving early, but our room was available so we were allowed to check in immediately. The apartment was mostly clean (my parents's room hadn't been vaccuumed particularly well and had a lot of grass clippings on the carpet). The small kitchenette seemed like it would work fine for limited cooking, and was furnished well enough for the basics. The sofa was not particularly comfortable to sit on, but the rest of the furnishings were fine for our short stay. The photos on their website pretty accurately represent the apartments as they would have looked when everything was brand new; our apartment showed some wear and tear.

One of the reasons I booked this place was the availability of a wireless internet connection (although for a fee). However, we found that we had limited to absolutlely no connection in our room - when it was connected it was so slow as to make the connection virtually useless. My husband found that the best connection in the room was when he was sat directly in front of the door to the hallway - a better connection could be made in the stairwell!. Most of the time we initially paid for was spent trying to get and keep the connection, and for what we were paying for it, it was an absolute rip-off. To the management's credit, they did waive the charges after my husband complained. Based on our experience, they should not be advertising that a wireless connection is available.

I'm sure that there are more atmospheric places to stay in Glasgow, but for the cost, location, and the amount of time we were staying, the apartment mostly fit our needs.
