Wonderful stay
Our apartment was spacious, welcoming and wonderfully located. I met 2 cleaners, a chap on the welcome desk as we arrived and a woman as we handed in keys. All were friendly and pleasant. Our apartment was clean and well stocked, the bed was comfy, clean and warm.
There was nothing I didn't like!

Great Studio Appartment.
The studio appartment was very comfortable and very well equiped and in a quiet area with some shops very nearby and cafes. Easy to access central Glasgow from here.
The extra blankets were stained when I took them from the wardrobe which was disappointing.

Great base to explore the city.
Great location. Very comfortable apartment. Excellent shower.
The only thing that was a little tricky was parking. A very tight space - but of course better than paying for parking elsewhere!

Comfortable, clean and in a great location.
Large room and bed, clean and warm. Breakfast was awesome and staff friendly.
The toilet was situated too close to the shower which meant sitting at an awkward angle. The soap dispensers kept falling apart.

Great location near Kelvin river park.
Location, building was nice, size was good.
The smell. Not sure what it was. Little things could have made it nicer. Maybe paper towels and salt and pepper considering there was a full kitchen. The fan was appreciated but it didn’t work properly.

Beautiful apartment and area
The apartment was huge and for the most part very clean. It had a big bay window facing the botanical gardens and we were able to open the big windows to let in some fresh air which is often not the case with hotels and apartments when travelling.
Bathroom was good with a walk in shower and the best water pressure we’ve had in the 3 weeks we’ve been travelling!
Bed and pillows were not as comfortable as I’d like, but that is just personal preference. I took the doona out of the cover as it was too hot for me and it either needs to be laundered or replaced, so slightly disappointed in the state of that.
The apartment was on the second floor and there is no lift, so that might be an issue for some, but we were ok.
We had breakfast next door in the hotel, and it was limited, but adequate and the hot food was cooked to order by the lovely man at the front desk who seems to do everything.
There were many restaurants within a short 10-20 minutes walk. We were recommended to a really nice one by the concierge called Stravaigin which was absolutely sensational!
Overall our stay here was really lovely, just need to lift the standards with the bedding for the future, but that may just me being fussy.
Doona on the bed needed cleaning or replacing.

The rooms were spacious and quiet. There was free parking but it is down a very small lane and tricky to negotiate. No l
Spacious room.
Car parking was tight and tricky - the front door was difficult to open and I hurt my hand badly.

4.0 / 10.0
The location was great, and I felt safe, as a solo traveler.
The location was great, near the botanical gardens, bus stop, ease of getting in an out, near grocery store, helpful people in the neighborhood, and a general sense of safety when I walked outside. The apartment was clean.
I felt deceived about the size of the apartment. The picture was very different than what I was given. When I reported this to the check in person, my complaint was dismissed. The space was a bit cramped. Apparently in Scotland, they do not provide wash cloths. The kitchen was sparse in that there were no paper towels, minimal cutlery, I would have preferred a hand held shower head, as the overhead one was difficult to use.

Terrific location, comfy and great value.
Loved the location and the ability to walk to the subway and local shops, pubs, and restaurants.
Coming from Australia, parking is never an issue. But here we had to squeeze into a very tight spot round the back of the apartments in an alley and on first night nothing was available. To UK residents this is probably normal.

Amazing
Very friendly staff, great value for the price. The kitchen and bathroom were clean and the bed comfortable.
We'd have like a couple more lids for the pans cause there was only one, and it took us a minute to realise the fridge was off. A notice for this would've been nice, but certainly wasn't a requirement.

Great location for the West End
Easy walk through the Botanical Gardens to the Oran Mor if you are going for a gig, room was excellent, good size, shower good, beds comfortable.

Perfect location in on of the best areas of Glasgow
This was the second time we've stayed there. Great location in one of the best areas of Glasgow. It's not central but that's not an issue. Close to many restaurants, bars and coffee shops and a short walk from Kelvin Park with the Kelvin River Walkway across the road. It has parking, spacious clean rooms and amazing value for money

Could have been great but too many problems
Great location looking out towards the Glasgow Botanic Gardens and a hop, skip and a jump from shops (including supermarkets), restaurants and cafes and the Mackintosh House (a must see). Convenient and free parking. Easy check in via the Ambassador Hotel next door.
Attractive rooms with high ceilings, comfy beds and good heating. Clean, modern bathroom.
Great value for money compared to other properties in Glasgow.
There was a lot good about Embassy Apartments but unfortunately we had problems from the start.
1. Many kitchen items required washing to remove crumbs/bits of caked-on food before they could be used.
2. The kitchen lacked some really basic items for self-catering, specifically tea towel and cutting board, which I had to ask for.
3. Despite there being beds for three, there were random numbers of kitchen items and nothing matched.
4. The electric kettle was weirdly tiny, with enough for only about 2 cups of tea. I’ve never seen one like it.
5. Of the 4 wall lights, three bulbs were dead. Reception replaced these at our request.
6. The tissue box cover contained an empty tissue box.
7. The legs of the dining chairs were so rickety, they seemed about to fall off. When I turned them upside down to check, it was clear that a screwdriver would have fixed the problem. Same for the kitchen pots with handles in danger of falling off. Just needed tightening with a screwdriver.
8. The icing on the cake was the hot water running out while my daughter was in the shower, and before we had washed up our load of dishes. After an investigation by the manager, it was decided that we’d be allocated a new room the next morning (as it was late). The new room was considerably smaller, with no couch and no room for more than one person in the kitchen at once. (Weirdly though, there was a bigger kettle and a tray of coffee, tea and biscuits, although only two of the latter despite there being three people.) The upshot is that the owner agreed to my request for a partial refund for both the room downgrade and all the inconvenience, which was good. (Later, the hot water also ran out in the new room after 2 short showers!)
It was, in fact, a pretty nice place and really good value, and would have been worth more if the room lived up to the promise of it. As it was, there was no attention to detail and very poor housekeeping and maintenance which really let the place down.
