Apex City of Glasgow Hotel

Apex City of Glasgow Hotel Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first walked into the Apex City of Glasgow Hotel, I wasn’t expecting much from what looked like another modern business hotel from the outside. But you know what? This place actually surprised me in all the right ways. The lobby has this sleek, contemporary feel without being cold or sterile, and the staff genuinely seemed happy to see guests rather than just going through the motions. I mean, the check-in was smooth as anything, and they actually remembered my name when I passed through later.

What really won me over was how they’ve managed to balance being a proper 4-star place with having some genuine character. The rooms are spacious – I’m talking actually spacious, not just “spacious for Europe” – and the beds are the kind where you sink in just enough without feeling like you’re being swallowed. The bathrooms are modern with decent water pressure (trust me, this matters more than you think), and honestly, the attention to detail is there. Little things like good lighting for reading and enough outlets near the bed show they actually think about what travelers need. The soundproofing is pretty solid too, which you’ll appreciate if you’re staying during one of Glasgow‘s busier periods when the city center gets a bit lively.

Location-wise, you’re right in the thick of things without being stuck in tourist trap central. I could walk to most of the main attractions without breaking a sweat, and there are actually decent restaurants nearby that locals eat at, not just the usual chain places. The hotel restaurant itself is better than expected – I had dinner there one night when I was too tired to venture out, and it was proper good food, not just hotel food if you know what I mean. With an 8.8 rating, this place clearly knows what it’s doing, and after staying there, I get why. It’s one of those hotels that doesn’t try too hard to impress you with flashy stuff but just gets the fundamentals right and then adds some nice touches on top. If you’re looking for a solid base in Glasgow that won’t disappoint, this is definitely worth considering.
