We loved the Ambassador for our 2 night stay in Glasgow. It is situated in what is called the West End and has much to recommend the location. The rooms here are sufficiently large with room for luggage. This is important for us as we travel a long time. The staff was very helpful in assisting us with issues with parking our car, and advice on places to see. Glasgow gets a bad name for some reason, but personally I enjoyed it more than Edinburgh. The rooms are clean here, and the hotel is within easy walking distance to a wide variety of good diverse restaurants.
If there was anything negative about the hotel, it is the lack, or rather difficulty, of parking. There is a small car park area behind the hotel, but we were unable to use it due to the way others had haphazardly parked. We were given good advice by the staff on how on street parking works, so ultimately we were able for a low cost, to park in front of the hotel.

Lovely staff, nice comfortable rooms and a convenient location on a quiet street but close to transport links.
The walls between rooms are very thin so you can hear the other guests taking etc

The staff were lovely. So helpful. Location is fabulous. Right next to the botanic gardens, lots of walking trails and beauty all around. Rooms were really nice, very clean. MAKE sure you tell the front desk if you don't want someone in your room. There are no "do not disturb" signs in the room so I was taken aback when I came back on day one and noticed someone had been in my room. I asked about it and they added my name to the list of not entering my room.
Parking is a problem. They have a TINY lot out back, so if you can fit into a small alleyway then it can work ok. Street parking is paying, so definitely a tricky place. BUT if you can squeeze into the tiny lot in the back, it's free, which helps a LOT in this area. Overall a really good experience though.
