In order to safely evacuate, we will need to conduct a personal emergency evacuation plan on arrival to understand your specific requirements. Should evacuation be necessary, our alarm will sound continuously.  It is ABode Glasgow’s responsibility to ensure the safe evacuation of the building. It is our policy to allocate lower level bedrooms for any guest that requires extra assistance during an evacuation.  Please contact the hotel directly on 0141 221 6789 to advise of any assistance in advance which will allow us to allocate a lower level bedroom.

We have tried to be as accurate as possible and have included as much details as we can in our Accessibility Statement, however we do welcome your feedback in order to evolve the information and services we provide.
