Village Glasgow

My husband and I stayed at the Village Hotel in Glasgow overnight and it was a very good experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful and seemed very aware of disability issues. All the facilities were well placed and of a high standard. The bedroom had plenty of room to manoeuvre and was not high. The bathroom had a level access shower with a solid fold down seat and lots of rails. The toilet was raised but the wash basin was in front of the toilet making a front transfer more difficult. Two pull cords for the alarm were in the bath room. The bed was comfortable too! There is a pool and spa facilities which my husband used but I didn’t so don’t know what accessibility is like. He loved them!!

Had a two night stay here. The accessible room was one of the best I've stayed in. The room is really big, with lots of room to move around. Unlike a LOT of hotel rooms, there was a wide enough passage way to the door, which enabled my husband to open the door, and me to pass him. The accessible bathroom was huge with a wet floor shower, adequate rails etc. The whole hotel was fully accessible and staff offered help, eg at the breakfast buffet, but without being pushy. The one let down was the pool, which doesn't have a hoist. There are graded steps for those that can manage. The disabled changing room, doubles as a family room. It is a very odd set up. There is one large room, with a bench, and lockers. This is open from reception, and through to the pool. So several different groups can use it at once. Leading off of this is a toilet in a separate cubicle, and two, very large wet floor shower rooms, all of which lock. However, this means you have to shower and dress in the shower room, and the entire floor is soaking wet. Gave it a miss in the end.

I go to The Village every time I visit Glasgow now, it is ideal for gigs at the SSE Hydro. I haven’t actually stayed in the hotel but I would definitely choose it if I were to stay in Glasgow. It had fantastic accessibility, helpful and friendly staff, and great food.
