Glasgow Arvostelua 

Having lived in about 10 council areas over the years, all of which had their own problems, truly Glasgow council is the absolute hands down worst by a country mile. In two different addresses (west end and southside) bins weren't collected for months and even emails to the CEO proved pointless despite visible huge rats running around the bins! All parking, around a park opposite the road that people want to visit, has currently been removed from my current address due to the addition of cycling lanes that aren't being used. Parking currently suspended on the crescent outside my flat for two weeks and counting (was meant to be one week with 2 days notice given). Now discovered I'm the proud owner of two parking tickets given because apparently Rangers are now playing at Hampden with zero notice given to residents who currently can't park anywhere near their own property. Have appealed and will take it to the ombudsman if necessary. Delighted to be leaving the Glasgow city council boundaries soon and escaping the worst council ever. You only have to look around the streets and parks of Glasgow, and how dirty it has become in the last few years to see the council's failures. The highly paid leaders of this outfit should hang their heads in shame for ruining this beautiful city.

Having lived in Glasgow for 3 years. This city has a mix of good and bad, with the good superseding the bad. The city is rich in history from the ship building industry, to galleries like the Kelvin Grove, Burrell collection and Huntarian museum. The city centre is a hub of high end stores, bars and nightclubs for the city goers,whilst the west end, populated with the famous victorian tenements that have large bay windows, high ceilings and show the history the scottish architecture. The west end has great restaurants and parks to explore. The south side is the new and upcoming area with a influx of young students and families who want good coffee, food and bars. Finally, the city is some of the best universities in Scotland, forging ahead in engineering, finance, arts and biomedical field. The city is close to the highlands and has great accessibility to north and south.
In summary, there is something for everyone in Glasgow, the city comes from a rough past but is full of friendly people who strive to make it a wonderful place to live. I mentioned no bad as the bad stuff you find here, you will find in every other city in the world, but the unique places and experiences of Glasgow are unique and so its worth a visit or even a couple years of residency. Although, I do wish we had a bit less rain and a bit more sun shine.

Be warned. If your hotel is in the new green low emission zone, you cannot drive to your hotel unless you are in an EV or PEHV. £60 fine just for dropping your bags at your hotel. Not a tourist friendly city.

Trying to appeal a parking penalty charge notice. The system is impossible. Had to appeal online. Need to speak to someone but the phone lines are only available Tuesday and Thursday between 10am and 4pm except there is no-one to speak to from Parking. The call handler did inform me though that there is no courtesy time to leave your car to get change for the meter so I asked how do I get the policy that states this. Go to the main page of GCC and select contact us, then make a complaint. There is more than one main page it seems. I did manage to navigate to find Contact Us however I did find it through Parking and clicking several pages but when I chose Contact Us it took me to page not found. So not only does Glasgow City Council have limited availability call handlers with no-one available for specific departments (I'm assuming this isn't just parking), but there website doesn't fully function. I notice though they can take payment no bother at all. I don't blame the staff at all for this absolutely awful dysfunctional system they have to work in. Stressful for everyone.

Had a fantastic Dinner here today food was absolutely first class ,staff were all very nice and top marks to the chef's keep up the good work guys.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Rachel Marshall from Chisholm Hunter jewellers in Argyle Arcade, Glasgow, and I must say that my experience with her was absolutely outstanding. Her exceptional customer service skills and extensive knowledge of Tag Heuer watches left a lasting impression on me.

My first interaction with Rachel was over the phone, and right from the start, she displayed a level of professionalism and enthusiasm that was truly impressive. She took the time to listen attentively to my needs and preferences, asking detailed questions to understand exactly what I was looking for.

Rachel's knowledge of the Tag Heuer brand and their range of watches was truly remarkable.
Impressed by Rachel's helpfulness and knowledge, I decided to visit the Chisholm Hunter store in person that same day. Upon my arrival, Rachel greeted my partner and I with a warm and friendly smile and a wee refreshment. She made my partner and I feel welcomed and comfortable, as if we were valued customers from the moment we stepped through the door.

Thanks to Rachel's guidance and expertise, I was able to find the perfect Tag Heuer watch that met all of our requirements. Her personalised approach and genuine interest in helping us make the right choice made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. I bought the ladies watch for my partner Louise.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend Rachel Marshall from Chisholm Hunter jewellers in Argyle Arcade, Glasgow, enough. Her impressive knowledge, outstanding customer service, personality and genuine passion for helping customers find the perfect Tag Heuer watch make her an invaluable asset to the store. If you're in search of a memorable and successful watch-buying experience, Rachel is the person to turn to.

We visited the Corinthian Club in Glasgow last week. Super experience from beginning to end. Great food at affordable prices. Wonderful service. Decor is fantastic and worthy of note. We'd a lovely lunch with friends.

I took my mother in for breakfast today , £17.95 each . I’m vegan , the choices were very limited . The vegan sausages are not great and you have to wait another ten mins to get them cooked separately as they don’t put them with buffet . The mushrooms tasted rotten , beans thick and dry , the potato scones were also rotten , cheap & nasty ones you would get in a cheap greasy spoon . Total waste of money and shocking quality as well as limited vegan choices .

The absolute DUMP of the UK!!!! Honestly, I’ve never been to a more disgusting city in my life… the place is a genuine dump! As of 2023 they have now had the nerve to introduce a low emission zone… IN GLASGOW!!!…. It’s honestly the only place that would look better with much much more smog! Disgusting, dirty, awful council, I genuinely would sooner spend a week in jail than a week in Glasgow, you’d certainly leave cleaner…. Never, ever again will I go to Glasgow again!
1 star is 3/4 of a star more than it deserves… my advice - visit any of the beautiful places in Scotland and avoid Glasgow like the AIDS!!!

Need a death certificate can only be done with I phone or I pad. Where do council recruit staff the CIRCUS because their ALL CLOWNS

We had the most amazing overnight stay in The Address Hotel in Glasgow City Centre on Saturday 30Th December to the Sunday 31St December.
The hotel was top class and the staff were fantastic.
The Sunday Morning breakfast was 1 of the best breakfast meals we have ever eaten IT WAS Extremely well presented and delicious….. Thank You so Very much for an awesome experience!!

Full of corrupt staff and liers. One of the most unprofessional and corrupt claim and finance teams.
Their roads are breaking the people cars and emptying the pockets but they are corrupt they will not listen.

Having dealt with Glasgow City Council for several decades it still amazes me why they don't make it easier for people to work with them and to pay their council tax bills. It is almost as if they are trying to trip people up so that they deliberately end up making late payments or not knowing how much to pay. Now I am sure, or at least I would like to think that there are some good people left working at Glasgow City Council, but the systems employed by GCC, which must be decided by someone, are detrimental to everyone ..and not least GCC itself. If one schedule payment or direct debit is missed, rather than issuing a bill for that payment, GCC cancels a direct debit completely. Where is the sense in this?
You might also think the poorness of Glasgow City Council's communication skills cannot be out-done, but that is only until you come across Scott and Co, who will serve you sms messages from a 'no-reply' number and then put you into an endless call queue to speak to them. Do they want the payment made with a minimum of fuss, or a maximum cost to everyone, mainly themselves ?

Congratulations to Glasgow City Council for turning Union Street and the surrounding area and Sauchiehall Street back 100 years are making it a modern day slum.
Maybe the councillors cannot see the area from their £500,000 homes in the suburbs but they are discouraging tourism and anyone with half a brain from going into the city centre.
Open drug dealing and drug use is now the norm,beggars every 20 yards and the mandatory delivery riders on electric bikes doing 25 mph on pavements.
Do your self and your family a big favour,do not go to Glasgow.

Used the fast track passport application 7 renewal - very quick efficient and friendly, well organised meeting and got passport in my hand with 4 days of meeting -

I went into Blacks in Glasgow to buy a tent. The staff were great. Especially Molly and Rachel who I ended up speaking to for about 30 mins. I went back into to exchange it for another tent and Molly couldn’t be more helpful. Great shop and great staff..

Jenifer in cova glasgow was the most helpful and friendly barmaid you could ask for could not of asked for a nicer experience

Quote taken from Sky news Article -"However, the local authority said the fine was issued and appeal refused due to the traffic warden observing no activity around the vehicle "over a reasonable length of time"

Disgusting! Taking money from the poor at a time they need it the most. Fining a food charity for using the same space they have used for 3 years and refusing their appeal is shameful, greedy and embarrassing! They had lack of volunteers so it took them longer to load up the van than usual!

What type of person stands there and waits out a Food bank Charity van. No hearts, No souls! Your seats in hell are waiting for you.

Avoid quayside unless you love to be spat at.and that's not form the locals of Glasgow either.very racists were we stayed at didn't feel comfortable being in my own country after visiting Glasgow

The waitress got angry with me for asking politely if my sandwich order may have been forgotten at lunchtime after I had waited 40 minutes. Some of the staff at the main desk were just not vey friendly and welcoming and seemed frustrated when questions were asked for advice. I just felt that some of the staff there - apart from the cleaning staff were resentful there were customers in the building. There was a massive queue for breakfast every morning unless you got down to the restaurant by 8. The dining waiters in the evening were excellent however, and food was good when it arrived. I did wonder if some of the staff might be better off seeking employment somewhere where they don't have talk to customers and deal with complaints.
