Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ambassador Hotel enjoys a fantastic location near the Botanic Gardens and within a short walk of the University of Glasgow. Guests appreciate the spacious, clean rooms, some of which offer views - although a few have noted less desirable rooftop outlooks. The private car park is a definite plus, and breakfast offers a varied choice from continental to full cooked options. Some guests have pointed out that rooms can be on the smaller side.

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

The staff at the reception were cute and professional, a point in the hotel's favor.
I was disappointed by the small size of the washroom. The shower had horrible water pressure, something one does not appreciate after a long day..
