Beautifully interesting building with a view from our window of the Necropolis and the Cathedral. Loved the bathroom - we were in the one room with a deep tub, and it was a delicious soak. Breakfast was soooo yummy!  …

No need to book in. Rooms clean and tidy and for what we were doing a great wee H.Q. I well recommend it for City Centre stays. Oh by the way the staff are brilliant and the breakfast was terrific ( we got there too late for a dinner).

Was in the middle of taking a walking tour and stopped in the Cathedral House Hotel for bite to eat. Hard to come across a good burger in Europe coming from America, but this place made it to top of the list. The home made pizza rocks. The best part is the menus are written on old album covers. Love it.

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. …

What a lovely hotel. Stayed for 1 night as we were going to a gig at the barony hall as part of the Celtic connections festival which was literally on the opposite side of the cathedral square. The room was immaculate and very beautiful. Had great views of the cathedral and over huge parts of Glasgow from the bedroom windows.We had breakfast in the restaurant (celentanos) wise was excellent. All ingredients were fresh and so delicious. My partner had forgotten to bring the charger for her iPhone and the phone was running low on charge but Laura came to the rescue by giving us( borrow) her phone charger to allow the phone to get a decent charge to last the rest of our trip.Highly recommend staying here, great location and will stay again.

The room was cute and comfortable, with incredible views and an amazing bathroom. The design of everything is top notch. Breakfast was simple, but incredible and impeccably executed. I'm still thinking about the toast. And the bar downstairs is perfect. The owner was accommodating and just generally lovely. Highly recommend.
