Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Custom House Hotel is favored for its scenic location overlooking the Bowling canal basin and the River Clyde, providing guests with beautiful views and a tranquil environment. The tastefully renovated rooms are well-appointed, and many appreciate the convenience of having tea and coffee facilities in the room. however, a few guests have mentioned the lack of on-site staff made the experience feel a bit unusual. With local cafes and walks along the Forth and Clyde Canal towpath nearby, it's a great base for exploring Glasgow, Dunbartonshire, and Loch Lomond.
