Fantastic location near to Central Station and Buchanan Street. We had a standard king room and loved the blue decor. Room was well appointed and spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed with quality linens. Mini bar with complimentary beers, water, chocolate and crisps was a nice touch and even better was replenished for our second night.
Fresh milk in the fridge would be a nice addition as really dislike the little cartons of uht milk. Bathroom had a powerful rain shower with robes and slippers provided. Breakfast was of a good standard with hot items cooked to order. There is a car park right next door to the hotel and guests receive a 25% discount. Would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and hope to return soon.
The room was spacious and fully equipped and very clean. Owing to the buildings age you are limited to the one window but this only but added to the cosy vibe of the room. Comfortable beds and ample facilities for a coffee in you room first thing. We didn’t stop at the venue for breakfast as we found a really nice cafe locally which we loved so chose to go there each morning of our stay.
The bar is well equipped and bar staff friendly and willing to whip you up any cocktails. Just a short walk into the city centre but just far out you aren’t bothered by the noise. Glasgow Central main train station literally down one straight road to the venue making life easier for people arriving on the train. Highly rated hotel, we would definitely return.
What a way to end each fun day with the comforts of Hotel Indigo. Originally built in the 1800’s as Glasgow’s first power station, this eclectic, boutique hotel is situated away from the hustle of the city centre but walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, and most importantly Glasgow central station if you want to catch a train to Edinburgh which is a mere 40+ miles away, takes about an hour because of the stops.
The room was very clean and comfortable. There is a bar and restaurant if you need nourishment. Overall, staff was informative and friendly! Loved it.
Stayed for two nights at the Indigo and found it a very comfortable hotel with all the facilities you would expect from this standard of hotel. The decor is very well done and the bar area was very pleasing and our room excellent. The staff were all so helpful and cheery. The hotel is located very centrally with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. There is a Marco Pierre restaurant within the hotel which had a very good selection of meals which were a little pricier as you would expect from an upmarket experience.
Breakfast at the hotel was quite extensive with a good selection of well cooked dishes. The only slight issue was the fairly cool temperature in the dining room during breakfast. Overall, this is a hotel well worth visiting while exploring Glasgow.

Visited here to stay for three nights for a Gay Pride Event the staff are warm and friendly also the room is amazingly spacious only downside I found was that the iPod dock was missing from my room and they were fully booked and couldn’t source another but apart from that small issue everything was brilliant I highly recommend this hotel / Apartments.
Everything else was great, the apartment had a little kitchen with every utensil you would need if staying there self catering for a couple of days. The room was spacious , clean and had its own hair dryer/fan/ironing board and iron. Bed was comfy except the two beds being pushed together was annoying. The TV in room 303 should be positioned in front of the bed not to the left where it is awkward to see (I do believe it was for people sitting on the couch but who does that these days when at a hotel ?)
The venue is very close to restaurants and bars which is ideal and the room has everything you need included. Great value for money. I’m not sure if they provided robes before covid? But that would be a great touch once they are able to do more things again. I would definitely stay here again!
Our first time at Fraser Suites, and we would return. Lovely reception staff on arrival, very helpful. Our apartment was very spacious with everything you could need (hairdryer, in room safe), l’occitane toiletries – although shower gel was almost finished, minor point, kitchenette had microwave, two ring stove, fridge, coffee machine etc. Very clean and a fantastic location for shops, bars and restaurants.
Very small point, we asked at reception in the evening for cappuccino pods and were told by the gentleman there were none, without him needing to check, perhaps he knew but we did feel as he didn’t offer an alternative he didn’t want to go and look, which may be unfair on our part. We will be back ‘though as our overall stay was very good. We visit Glasgow several times a year and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel for its location and amenities.
Have stayed in these suites many times due to the great location with a fantastic choice of pubs, cafes and restaurants on your doorstep. Argyll Street and Merchant Square just around the corner and only a short, pleasant walk from the railway station. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a lively, busy weekend in Glasgow.
The location is fantastic for those who want easy access to shopping and sightseeing. It is a pleasure to walk around in autumn in Glasgow- except there might be a wee bit of rain. What I have to caution is that there are rooms facing a multi level car park / back alley/ bottle recycling center. This creates a racket roundabout after midnight.
The housekeeping crew did not change the bed linens – we stayed there for five nights. I think there should be an SOP- the bed linens get changed every second or third day – as we do at home. There were no cards that we could place on the bed to indicate we wanted linen changed. I still would come back and try other Fraser suite hotels.

A chic canteen is open 24 hours and also serves as a bar. The lobby serves as a lounge with designer furniture and a TV.

Check in was easy which you do yourself with the check in computer system it takes around 10 minutes and you also pay there (there is ambassadors on hand in case you need assistance). You have the option of lift or funky spiral staircase which takes you to the bar/chill area or rooms above, I never tried to canteen or bar while staying this time.
Room was easy to find and had a view of city centre (buildings like most city centres lol). Room was clean and plenty room for solo or couple travellers built in wall storage at the front door and also under the bed which was huge and very comfortable. Ipad controls everything in the room from TV and shower mood lighting to room temp and the roller blind (window also has built in blinds).
Great location in city centre and a very quirky hotel,which I could understand is not to everyone’s taste. Room was immaculate although as bed was full width of the room, access for those less able could be an issue. All systems including mood lighting controlled from an iPad – cool! Public spaces are vibrant and staff very professional, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a touch on the expensive side, but as the room was well priced, balanced itself out. Definitely recommended and will use again when next on a night out in Glasgow.
What a joy to stay at a hotel where everything is functional and nice to look at. The citizen M is a modern and funky hotel, catering g for the worldly traveller.
A warm welcome awaited us as soon as we arrived. I had already checked in prior to arriving and by using the QRS code I was able to get my room key very quickly.
The room is just right in terms of size, any smaller would’ve been too small. It accommodates everything you need and has an iPad to regulate everything in the room, from the blinds and temperature to the tv. The double bed was large and had a VERY comfortable mattress.
This hotel unapologetically aims for the traveller who is comfortable with technology and likes its surroundings to be funky and well designed.
At breakfast you can choose between the hot or continental breakfasts, or both. For the continental you can opt to be charged by the item, the hot breakfast is a flat £13 and you can refill as much as you like.
The continental breakfast consisted of Bircher and regular muesli, fresh fruit, toast and pastries. The hot breakfast had many choices; scrambled eggs, sausages etc.
A free paper was available.
In summary: I would stay here again in a heartbeat and am very likely to stay at other citizenM hotels at other locations. I had a very good deal for 2 nights. A very pleasant experience all round.
