Cathedral House

Great hotel and very pleasant owners. Room was fine and the window had secondary glazing, making it completely quiet. Bed was comfortable. Five of us also eat at their restaurant, Celentano's. An uncomplicated menu with excellent food. All five of us were really happy with our meals. Breakfast was Continental but very tasty. I highly reccomend both the hotel and the restaurant. Overnight parking was in the Duke Street multi-story carpark at a cost of £5 (as of 22nd Feb 24) and was a six minute walk to the hotel.

We where in the lovely room 4, absolute stunning the colour scheme was very tasteful. Loved how comfortable the bed was I do stay in Glasgow so found my way round easy. From high street train station Glasgow to the hotel it about 4/5 minute walk which is great. You are local to the city centre and can walk to high street and argyle street easily. Loads of local bars and restaurant round about and great view of Glasgow. My partner was in love with the homemade bread he hasn't shut up about it everyone getting told lol. Laura absolutely amazing great to see a hotel owner in there hotel, we have stayed in loads of hotels and don't really see this, Laura also hand on and prepares breakfast which you also don't really see in any hotel we have previous stayed Staircase wasn't a issue for us as there plenty of room on the stairs to walk up and down, and not far up to get to your room like some reviews have stated. We will be returning in June time

Perfect for anyone needing to report to Glasgow Royal Infirmary early

We visited Glasgow during the cycling world championship (early August 2023), and despite the crowds this entailed, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Something went wrong during check-in because the email with the access code for the door had not reached me (for whatever reason). But luckily this problem was quickly solved with the help of a friendly lady in the restaurant (located in the same building). We generally liked the room: large, enough space for luggage, nice rain shower and a nice comfortable bed. We can't really think of any negatives except maybe a few small mold spots in the shower and a window that is a bit difficult to open. In our room, black tones were used on the walls etc. Admittedly, you have to like this, but we thought it looked good. Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the ground floor and is of good quality: granola with yogurt and fruit, very good coffee and tasty toasted (sourdough?) bread with jam. We do not agree with a number of reviewers who claim that the location of Cathedral House is not good. The opposite is true, the location is ideal: located on the eastern edge of the city centre, near the cathedral and near the fantastic Glasgow Necropolis. In addition, it was very easy for us to get to and from High Street train station and we didn't even need additional local transport. Also, this place is located in a relatively quiet place, close to a green oasis. (the park surrounding Necropolis) Glasgow is a fantastic city to visit and unlike Edinburgh, it is not overrun by endless crowds of tourists. There is plenty of greenery, there is plenty to do in terms of culture, there are historic buildings, wall paintings and there are many (affordable) restaurants and pubs. Definitely recommended, both the city and Cathedral House Hotel!

We love boutique type hotels and this one hit all the marks. Great restaurant at night - Celetanos. Located across from the Glasgow Cathedral and Necropolis- this wee hotel is lovely. Be aware that there is not lift, but didn’t bother us! View from our room of the Necropolis.

Convenient location opposite Drygate bar and the cathedral, and close to Merchant city. Unusual check-in system (no on-site reception staff, informative email received on morning of arrival with code for door entry) - this worked well for us and there is a mobile number provided in case any issues. Room was good - clean, comfortable, modern, had everything we needed. Breakfast was great - continental only (not our usual choice but very pleasantly surprised), quality ingredients, generous portions, nice atmosphere and helpful staff member. We didn’t use bar / restaurant otherwise. Outside seating area looked good. No on-site parking but Duke St multi-storey car park is a 5 minute walk away and only £5 overnight cost. On street parking outside is also free 6pm - 8am. Thank you, will return.

Lovely hotel, very quiet, clean and comfortable, with great decor - so great that I'm thinking of having it in my own home! For me the location wasn't ideal, as it was quite a lot of walking to and from the city centre, however it did mean that it was quiet. Breakfast was tasty and very fresh. The owner was very accommodating in letting me store my luggage both early and late, due to travel arrangements.

Whilst convenient for the cathedral, the hotel is some distance from the city centre restaurants, pubs etc. No parking on site and only short stay parking outside. Need to park on public multi storey around 5 mins walk away. No personal reception - access is provided by codes etc. With no lifts the only access to the bedrooms (at least 2 flights up) is via a steep narrow spiral staircase which is difficult to use when moving cases, bags etc. No staff on site to assist. Room quality was disappointing with some peeling paint on the, difficult to open, windows. Also one window had a broken pane of glass. Some road noise from around 5am, with the single glazed windows (secondary double glazing had been removed) providing only modest soundproofing. Toilet door wouldn't close properly. Also some mould around the shower. Ok continental breakfast. Not impressed with their restaurant/bar Celentinos on the ground floor. Very noisy with average overpriced food - more a place for a drink than a meal.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel. Our party used 7 of the rooms. Each room is unique and very well appointed and furnished. The beds are very comfortable, as are the chairs. The bathrooms are attractive and the showers powerful and hot, with fluffy towels. The breakfasts are excellent with fruit, home made yoghurt, granola, excellent sourdough toast and confits. All served with freshly made tea and coffee. The hotel is situated beside St Mungo’s cathedral and the Necropolis close to the bustling Merchant City, full of restaurants and entertainment. Its within walking distance of the city centre. Of course what makes the hotel exceptional is the owner and her staff. They combine efficiency with warmth and helpfulness. Nothing is too much trouble and every thing is accompanied with humour and a smile. The hotel hosts Celentano’s: a superb Italian restaurant with a well deserved Michelin Bib Gourmand. This lifts the hotel into the stellar category.
