Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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.
