Glasgow Pond Hotel

Having stayed at the Pond Hotel many years ago we decided to go back and see what had happened over the years and now under new management. On arrival at 17.30hrs. on the Saturday we were greeted by Monika the receptionist who made us feel very welcome and the decor was certainly in the 21 century. Each member of staff always greeted you with a cheery hello. The rooms were stunning with state of the art TV's offering more that your normal channels. Beds were very clean & comfortable, bathrooms were bright and the shower curtain was very clean. Breakfast was Buffet style and plenty to choose from the hot plate to the chilled cabinet. Even the management helped in the restaurant to clear tables. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to any one. Full marks to The Pond keep up the high standards. This hotel is only 20 minutes from Glasgow Airport so very handy and good rates.

After a one night stay at the pond hotel I have only good things to say about this hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful while the hotel is well equiped and stylishly decorated. I will be staying again as there are very few hotels with this amount of facilities at a reasonable price.

We stayed for two nights at the Glasgow Pond Hotel in May 2007. The hotel is conveniently situated just off the Great Western Road. It has a large free, secure car park. If you don't intend to drive in the city it is quite far from the centre, we found the most effective way of getting into the city was to take the bus down to Kelvingrove and the subway from there. With good connections this could be done in about 20 minutes, It was about £8 in a taxi late at night. The hotel was smart and well decorated and although our room was a little small (the bed was against the wall which I didn't expect or much like in a hotel), the bed was very comfortable and the room was warm without being too hot. The bathroom was a good size. The room was spotlessly clean and, despite its proximity to the Gartnavel Hospital, we didn't hear any outside noise in there. There was a good flat screen TV with radio stations available through it. Our room had a locked connecting door so I think it would be quite handy for familirs. Breakfast was beautiful, lots of good food available in large quantities! We didn't eat until the evening after it. In short, I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a relaxing stay in Glasgow, just don't expect to be too close to the centre.

We enjoyed our stay very much, staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, cool flat screen tv, shower was powerful and bathroom was very modern and bright. The view of the pond was nice to see from the large window. The location of the hotel is ideal for going out to Byres Road in Glasgows west end. Overall I rate this hotel extremely high, I look forward to my next stay and can't wait to return. I nearly forgot to mention the delicious breakfast and a bargain at the price we payed for the night.

I found our stay relaxing and enjoyable with helpful and friendly staff who helped with the smallest of issues and dealt with them fast and efficiently.The use of the Hotel facilities like the swimming pool,jacuzi and gym meant you were able to relax while not having to go far and it was only a stones throw away from the city centre for that all important shopping and sight seeing.The secure car park was a blessing as i have a new car and would have been scared to leave it anywhere else.We both would recommend this to our friends who would be going over to Glasgow as the rooms were spacious,clean and tidy and fitted our exact requirements.We can only thank all staff involved with our weekend break and hope to see them again soon.

Location of the hotel is convinient. Service was very good and all members of staff were helpful and polite. Hotel has a nice restaurant with tasty food and good although quite small leisure center. Bedroom was very comfortable, but bathroom might need some renovation and windows were quite dirty, which was not very nice. There is a big car park and petrol station with a shop just one minut walk away. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for nice, but not too expensive place to stay not in the middle of the busy city center.

My stay at this hotel was highly satisfactory, from the tasteful decor, right down to the cleanliness of the communal areas such as the hallways and lifts.  I found the service to be top notch, especially a young man called john, who helped me out with a couple of awkward issues I had.  in short, I would reccommend this hotel to anyone staying in Glasgow for a short break, and the next time i'm in Glasgow myself I will definately be staying at the Jury's.
