Holiday Inn Glasgow - City Ctr Theatreland Reviews

My Glasgow trip was amazing. I had originally planned to stay an extra night in Edinburgh, but my travel companions mentioned the Edinburgh Marathon, which meant rooms were virtually impossible to find, with even hostels charging upwards of 1700. So I arrived in Glasgow earlier than anticipated. On a rainy day, I initially overshot the hotel and ended up at an Express hotel. The very friendly lady at their front desk kindly directed me back to the correct location. After settling in, I had a deep sleep. The next morning, my power bank was fully charged, but my phone wouldn't turn on. I then realized my charging cable had broken at the worst possible moment – I was stunned! Fortunately, the staff member on duty at the front desk helped me charge my phone and even directed me to the nearest Apple store. It was also lucky that the hotel is very close to the central pedestrian street and square. Thanks Paul for the power line help! The hotel's location is truly excellent. While it's a few blocks from Central Station, the immediate area is flat and central – a significant plus, as I later discovered other parts of the city, like the university and station areas, involve steep uphill walks, which would be tough with luggage. Various theatres, concert halls, and cinemas are right next door. Buchanan Bus Station is just across the road, and next to it is a Sainsbury's (a very convenient supermarket). During my stay, many children participating in a dance competition at the concert hall were also staying here. The surrounding area offers incredibly convenient options for dining and shopping. My room was an economy type, not huge, but comfortable enough. The window faced a gallery apartment and a concert hall across the street. While the soundproofing might not have been the best, I was so exhausted I fell asleep instantly. Glasgow's weather cycled through heavy rain, light showers, and sunshine multiple times a day. While some people might brave it, an umbrella is definitely useful here. In the city center, it's not too windy for an umbrella, and the downpours always arrive very suddenly. Even though locals seemed quite used to the heavy rain and unfazed, it was nice that when the sun did appear, you dried off quickly.

The location is great. Easy access to the bus station connecting to the Airport & various town of Scotland.

The room was spotless, the atmosphere was excellent, and it's conveniently located near the city center.

My room was immaculate and I was well situated to take a tour which left from Buchanan bus station, which was literally a two minute walk. I appreciated this greatly since the tour left early at 7:45 AM. I was very happy with everything …you’re in the city center And everything was better than expected.

Beautiful room, modern, very clean, cosy, functional. Wee bit small but ideal for 1 night. Very comfortable bed. Very clean bright bathroom. Good security re card only for lift access. Great position for centre of city and ideal for concert hall.

The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was very convenient. The breakfast was excellent, and the breakfast staff were all wonderful and very polite. Overall, it was a great experience.

Cannot fault this Hotel the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and know their job inside out special mention for Morven who goes above and beyond a staff member that the Hotel should be proud to have on their payroll. Rooms lovely, fresh and very clean. Food and drink available 24 hours. Location is great. Metres from the bus station, loads of shops on the doorstep a cinema complex and a concert hall right across the road and I found 3 Italian restaurants within 400 metres radius. Taxi to the Hydro a mere £8.00 and was outside the Hotel seconds from ordering. Stayed in many Hotels in Glasgow why I never picked this one before I will never know but it will be my go too Glasgow Hotel from now on

Friendly and efficient staff in all areas of the hotel! Car park discount in local NCP car park was good.

Perfect Location and clean hotel room

Excellent location for travelers using bus stations and visiting Glasgow

Great central location, very clean, and very convenient.

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel because the location is great and the rooms are good, but the best thing is the breakfast! Food quality is high! The friendly hospitality and smiles of the service staff are really the best combination!

Decent hotel for traveling.

good location. not so far away from the railway Station and bus Station
