Enjoyed our 2-night stay here! Loved the welcome dram of whisky!!! Nice location, close to city center! Staff was wonderful! Room was comfy and they serve a very nice breakfast every morning! Be sure to visit the Piping Museum next door! Would definitely stay here again!

Overview
The Pipers' Tryst is the restaurant and small boutique hotel inside the National Piping Centre, a charity based in a B-listed former church near Cowcaddens, in the heart of Glasgow's theatre district. The kitchen serves "Scottish food with a fresh, modern twist", using meat from Ramsay's of Carluke, fish from The Fish People and local artisan suppliers. It serves breakfast, lunch and early dinner. Afternoon tea is available by advance booking, and private dining is available too. It also has an eight-bedroom hotel with a four-star rating, and staying guests get 20% off lunch or dinner. The National Piping Centre was founded by Sir Brian and Lady Oona Ivory, who found the derelict church and manse and raised £6 million to renovate it.
Reviews
Right downtown, car park 2 blocks away. Lovely historical building. Room (2 singles) was a decent size with a nice bathroom (finally, a single spout on the sink!) and lots of hot water 😁 we ate in the restaurant....portions are huge and the food is delish. We would stay again 👍
Read on Google MapsWhat a little Gem this hotel is. Perfect location, very comfortable quiet room - loved the tartan decor. Staff warm and helpful. Enjoyed dinner in their lovely little restaurant. Far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend.
Read on Google MapsWe thoroughly enjoyed our one-night stay. Old building, but lovely room with lots of character, very clean and quiet. Our ensuite bathroom was excellent, and super king bed was comfy. Great location for exploring downtown Glasgow. Only downfall was that they were fully booked for dinner that evening, but that's my fault for not making a reservation in advance. Small dining room is quaint and the dinner menu looked excellent. Breakfast was delicious! The staff were all very friendly, even offering recommendations for alternate dinner options in the area. We would absolutely stay here again while in Glasgow!
