Brunswick Hotel

Was given a room with a loud air conditioning or extractor system outside the window. Got NO SLEEP at all. One staff member said no-one had complained about it before. Another said that they had complained to the pub below lots of times about it. Was told it would switch off when the pub closed. It didn't. Was told that the manager would get back to me. They haven't. Not responding to my emails asking for a refund. The very minimum a hotel should provide is a room to sleep in. They didn't.

Room was simple, clean and quiet. Friendly and efficient staff. Can't comment on the other facilities because I didn't use them, but I got the good night's sleep I needed. One comment for other visitors - the Compact Double En-suite really is compact! Nothing wrong with that, they're honest about it and it's good value, but if you're a large build or staying more than a couple of nights you probably want to upgrade.

Great hotel, great price for rooms. Great bar next to hotel. Made I nice change from stopping at a no frills chain hotel.

Great wee hotel exceptionally spotlessly clean, rooms small, but adequate, receptionist very polite and helpful, The Dam bar attached to hotel is lovely, meals very reasonable and drinks to., The two girls on the bar were very good, great night away definitely do it again

Thank you very much to the management and staff of The Brunswick Hotel for our lovely stay with you recently. From the moment we arrived the staff on duty at the front desk were friendly, helpful, and obliging. Room 601 was warm, spacious, and immaculate. The location was ideal for our night away, just minutes away from the buzz of Merchant City. We'll be back and would have no hesitation in recommending your hotel.

Was very clean and friendly/helpful staff! the room is very small which is why it's only 4 star however it's all my fiance and I needed as we just came for the football game and needed a place to stay before our transport left in morning so wasn't an issue. The place is VERY central it's handy to get to

The hotel staff were quite rude and forward, not very welcoming. Main reason for the low stars is the false fire alarm at 4am. On the 4th floor, we made our way up and down the stairs twice without any word from staff as to what was happening. I understand to an extent that this was not the staff's fault, however they made no effort to apologise during checkout and blamed it on a guest. That really ruined the overall experience. Aside from that, the room was modern, clean and in a really good, safe location near restaurants/bars/cafes.

On our first day, i found masks inside the bin. Then Found this?for cigarette on the floor on the second day of our stay. Handed it over to the receptionist but just dismissed it.and did not apologised for it, But they replace your towels every day. No free drinking water. Has TV.

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Room very small. Room needs updated but they are in the process of doing this I belive. Shower really good but small. Great value overall

Stayed here for 2 nights in December and everything was absolutely spot on. I booked through a third party website as I got the genius discount so worked out as less that 35 a night. Stayed here on my own, room had a double bed, shower, bath, decent TV, kettle, iron and hair dryer. Everything you need. You will not find a better budget hotel than this. Located right in the centre of Merchant City everything is minutes away including bars, restaurants and shops.

Good value. Been coming here for years on and off. Getting a little tired, but still a good location to crash.

Shoes box rooms in the middle of the city.the shower that small i nearly fell out got be less than 500mm x500 mm. The staff are good on salesmanship.

Good burger. Ducked in to avoid the rain but certainly no complaints.

Lovely little hotel with friendly staff, has a convenient and awesome bar next door that has delicious food and drinks. Highly recommend a visit and many returns.

City centre hotel. Clean, good shower, warm building. Easy check in helpful staff.

Affordable, great location, very clean, friendly manager. all we needed for a city break. It's surrounded by good restaurants and bars (including the gay bars we were after) and a good breakfast cafe. The bed was very comfortable to sleep on and we were supplied with amble fresh towels.

Visited in August 2020. Very kind and happy personnel willing to help with everything. In a very good position in the merchant City of Glasgow. Near to all restaurants /bars /sightseeings of Glasgow Highly recommended.

I visited Brutti Ma Buoni, and found it to be too much of a good thing. The food was excellent; so good I would have given them 5 stars on that alone. Unfortunately, we had a number of issues with the music and the service, and so in good conscious I can only give them 3 stars. Atmosphere is all well and good, but if I need to shout at the top of my lungs to be heard by a person sitting next to me then it's too much of a good thing.

While I realize that Saturday nights are often louder than other nights, on my last visit the volume level was simply ridiculous. We also had problems with service - in a nutshell, there are simply too many people for the number of staffers working to attend to. We had to keep asking for things that shoud never need to be asked for, i.e., water, drink refills, etc. For these reasons, I can't recommend Brutti Ma Buoni.

Before I start it is important to know how sad it makes me writing this. I have loved this place for years and have so many good memories of coming here. If I am honest I probably should have written this review three visits ago but I kept going back hoping it was just a blip and would get better but sadly that wasn't the case. In summary, having a wide range of food unavailable and then getting orders wrong after a wait of nearly an hour. Serving what was clearly a beef burger but claiming it was a lamb burger, it didn't help that it was completely cremated.

A sad looking salad with limp cucumber didn't help, the halloumi was great though. I am genuinely sad how the standards seem to have slipped and the only thing that saved it for us was the lovely guy serving us who seemed to be equally unimpressed with the quality of food coming from the kitchen. We noticed a few tables seemed to be experiencing issues too. On a positive note, the bloody Mary was amazing. After over ten years of good times, I think it might be time for us to part company. It's not me, it's you.

The place is nice and modern -- they do serve nice food and desserts! and the staff is lovely, chatty and friendly. But they do take AGES to place your order, and then, on Saturday nights, they think it's a sort of club-restaurant, as the music is too loud and you can't even talk to your companions. That's annoying, guys! If I want to go to a club I would do so.

I just keep coming back. Like your favourite neighbourhood bar with fantastic food. Today was chorizo and squid stew. Tasty.

We found this place on Yelp once the need for a feed took us after drinking copious amounts of "St. Mungos". I felt more heavenly with every drop! It doesn't look like anything special when you get there and the restaurant is part of the Brunswick Hotel. Fairly long and narrow restaurant with a bar facing the entrance where you can sit and enjoy a drink if not hungry.

Not that I'm a great judge but would guess that the regulars would be of the hip variety mixed in with the hotel guests and then.erm us. We had no booking and it was around 10pm when we arrived and we were shown to a table right beside the open plan small kitchen. At the bar there were people who had a few dogs with them (you've got to be hip if you bring your dog to a bar or restaurant, right?) and we got chatting to them.

The atmosphere is great and had a real friendly relaxed vibe to it which was probably inflated a tad by the warming effects of St. Mungo truth be told. It turned out that one of guys we got talking to was Eddie Gray's nephew (check out Eddie Gray's wonder goal v Burnley on youtube. Genius!) and being a life long Leeds supporter it was a pretty cool coincidence.

The waiters were super friendly and provided some great recommendations and as we were beside the kitchen the chef was asking how spicy we wanted some of the dishes which was a great touch. We got our Angry Prawns to cool down a little! The chef's a young guy who obviously loves his profession and he has created some fantastic dishes on the menu which are beautifully executed.

We went for a mix of the tapas but they do steaks, burgers, pasta and sandwiches - all with a little something special - and the lamb burgers looked great. You have got to try the chorizo and bean stew, angry prawns and mushrooms with blue cheese. We also went for two of the brutti breads (really thin based pizza) and they were amazing along with a host of other small plates. Simply spoilt for choice. The Food is delicious and when you add in how great the staff are this is a 5 star experience all over.

Why have I not reviewed Brutti Ma Buoni yet?! In the heart of Glasgow's Merchant City is this spectacular little gem - more locally just referred to as 'The Brunswick'. Catering to a young, stylish, professional crowd (yes, I'm claiming myself to be both young and stylish - stop laughing!), this is a place not to miss. It's the bar/cafe part of the Brunswick Hotel - but don't be put off by this, it's not your typical hotel bar.

This is the kinda bar I'd go to every night if I was on holiday, so made all the better that it's just round the corner from my flat - every night can feel like a holiday in Barcelona. A contemporary and minimalist bar, but with lots of character - and customers clearly love it going by the postcards from past visitors from all over the world.

Sometimes (especially on a cold wet Winters night) you want to go somewhere warm, friendly, stylish and friendly to meet up and have a natter, so this has become one of my go-to places. I like to pull up a stool at the bar have a natter over a cold beer and enjoy the relaxed feel. Or if it's a weekend, enjoy the atmosphere when it gets busy into the evening.

The bar also has a club downstairs - 'Basura Blanca'. I've been to many a birthday party here, so if you're enjoying your evening, why not hang out a bit longer. They have a decent house prosecco and a pretty good draught beer selection (west Beer and Yard Bird on tap), as well as a fully stocked bar. The staff are friendly and welcoming and know their stock really well and are more than happy to give recommendations on spirits if you're not sure what you want.

In the Summertime, it's a great place to sit outside, with plenty of seats and you're sheltered by a glass canopy while watching the life of Glasgow go on around you. Oh yeah, they also do food - try the tapas menu, the chorizo is particularly great. Personally, I'm not a fan of olives, but I understand these are also a great. The kitchen is open into the bar, so you get the see the chefs hard at work cooking everything fresh.

If you're in a group and plan on eating, then best to call ahead and book a table. For a larger group, you can ask to be seated on the mezzanine level. Now, can we just make the Glasgow weather a bit more Mediterranean to fit in with this awesome place?

This BMB is the bar/cafe part of the Brunswick Hotel. And. Is. Awesome. I'm in here most weeks - the music's not so loud that it's obtrusive (this week it's been a bit of Justin Timberlake). It caters mainly to the young (and youngish) professionals, and is just a great, relaxing place to unwind and chill out. The staff are really friendly and certainly know their stuff.

This week we asked what gins they had - and were treated to the barman running off a list of about a dozen different types, without even a glance at the bottles behind him! At least I know which gin I'm in for next week;)

Had some lovely tapas here just last week with Glasgow CM Briony and some other pretty awesome review writing folk! I love the quirky decor in this bar and couldn't believe it was technically a hotel bar (mainly because hotel bars tend to be pretty dire). Not so this one! Great tapas (I recommend the chorizo, and the paella if it's on special). Calamari was good too.

We just had soft drinks I think, but the cocktails and drinks here look extensive and interesting. If I come back to Glasgow soon, I'd like to sample one, two, three. It's a little hot (I'm underestimating, it's like a sauna) up top in the restaurant, but it actually kind of adds to the summery vibe. Just don't wear a woollen jumper.

Weird that I have never reviewed this place before. During the summer I love coming here for a pint and sitting outside and watching the world go by. It's got a really cool atmosphere and with a good crowd of people drinking anything from champagne to a nice cold pint. On the food front I would describe it more as bar food than restaurant quality and I would suggest sticking to some of the smaller dishes rather than going for a full meal.

You can't go wrong with the deep fried Brie and a side of olives, but really you will be good with any of the small plates they have on offer. Definitely a summer time bar for me as the small outside area is a big plus point and they have even been known to let you squeeze your mutt in to join you for a cold one.

I met up with a group of friends for a catchup over lunch on Sunday at Brutti ma Buoni in the Merchant City part of the Brunswick Hotel. I must admit my friends were a bit perplexed when I mentioned this as a venue and arrived thinking we were lunching at one of the city's big hotels but Brutti ma Buoni is in fact a stand-alone restaurant/ bar adjoining the hotel. I'd phoned to pre- book a table and noticed a money off voucher on the website which I mentioned when booking and was assured this would be no problem.

Inside is quite small and the place was pretty busy so I was glad I had phoned to pre-book a table for the eight of us, as our table was reserved. A curious mix of decor including what looks like long strips of tinsel hanging from the lights and artwork on the walls make the place feel quite special. None of us were drinking so it was orders of Irn Bru and tea all round while we browsed the very extensive menu.

There seems to be something for everyone here with offerings ranging from small plates like spring rolls and bean stews to classic Scottish fayre of French Toast, Poached/ Scrambled Egg on Toast, Spaghetti and Pizza style breads with unusual topping combinations to burgers served on crusty morning rolls and much more! Specials included lamb and chickpea flatbread and a particularly tempting sounding toffee apple pancakes.

We all enjoyed our meals settling on a mix of burgers served with particularly addicting hand cut fries, bruschettas and baguettes but agreed that they weren't anything overly special. Service was quick and efficient despite the place being pretty busy but we did find that certain members of staff weren't particularly friendly. There was a nice mix of people in on Sunday but it was a trendier crowd than we're normally used to.

The menu wasn't the cheapest and we did think that some items were a bit overpriced but we had no problems using our money off vouchers which meant it was good value for some tasty food.

Without a doubt this little place is my favourite in the whole of Glasgow. I have been a number of times for drinks and/or food. The place is joined onto the Brunswick hotel and has a great outdoor seating area for the summer. Inside is quite small and would usually book if I am going on a fri or sat night. Warning - if you sit upstairs remember it is above the kitchen so can get very warm!

I love sitting on at the bar when just having drinks - usually a bottle of cava as it is very well priced. The staff are absolute gems - all are very chatty and are good to their regulars! The food is lovely and the menu has a mixture of tapas, big plates, pizzas, brunch items. I love the big salads (squid is good), the brutti chips, chilli prawns and I love to get a half portion of pasta as a tapas dish.

I have taken friends, my boyfriend and my mum here and they all loved it. Also got given a free kinder egg once at Easter time :) They do allow dogs in here so if you hate dogs then you might want to be aware. They do good deals during the week - cheap tapas dishes on mon - wed, and you can download a 20% off voucher from their website to get money off food.

I had a drink with a friend here on a Friday evening, around 8pm. Half full in this economy downturn, not much space to move around. There is another upper level for diners if you prefer a little bit of privacy. Quite a few good chairs at the bar, the waiters/waitress serve you warmly. However, I prefer a larger space and crowd when I am enjoying my evening.

I haven't got to try foods yet but my friend highly recommends their lamb burger. Friend told me that it used to be very busy Fri and Sat, and need a week booking in advance for seats. A DJ plays 80s pop music on scene, quite nice music though.

I was looking for a place off of George Square to grab a quiet bite because i had been eating Pub food and Curry for 5 days straight. I stumbled upon Brutti ma Buoni on a wide avenue. the waiter was very friendly, and gave a good recommendation on the Lamb Burger with mint and herbs. with a pint of beer and a side of chips, this was exactly what i needed.

As i found in most restaurants in Glasgow, and just about any pub, the service is slow by American standards. i personally don't mind if my food comes to me in 10 or 20 minutes, because i'm usually with someone or am enjoying the atmosphere. i asked the waiter if they had newspaper to read while i waited for my food, and he happily obliged. usually, the food is worth the wait so i don't mind too much

Hadn't been in here for about a year until I went in over christmas. I have to say the atmosphere created by the staff is first class - even during the day there is a nice comfortable, warm and friendly feeling. When you order a drink you get the feeling that a lot of care and attention has gone into making sure its perfect for you. Great menu too at very reasonable prices - go and try it. They do a mean bloody mary

I had a great lunch here on saturday with a very reasonable bill at the end. i had spagetti with chorizo in a cabonara style sauce, it was delish, the chorizo was very good quality. My friend had one of the pizza things (not called pizza) which was really thin and tasty, one of the best pizzas that i have tried in a while. My other friend had a bean and veg stew which she said was good but the potatos were a wee bit too firm. the only downside was the pan catalan, not enough tomatoyness and too hard. the service was great, very friendly and not too attentive and even though it was very busy we didnt feel at all rushed. we will be back soon for a brunch to try out the toast section of the menu.
