The Merchant City Inn
3.4/562 Reviews
Central
The triple room is on the top of the building, quiet and clean, like a castle. There is breakfast, bathroom and toilet. Stayed 2 nights. Close to the square, shopping center and subway. It is 1.5 kilometers to the long-distance bus station.
Premier Inn Glasgow (Cambuslang/M74, J2A)
4/541 Reviews
We chose to stay here as it was cheaper than staying in Glasgow Centre.. The rooms are standard premier inn rooms. The bed was comfortable, however, smaller than expected. For some reason, we had to ask for another set of towels that was only given one, even though the room was booked for 2 adults. The bathroom wasn't very clean, but useable There is no air-conditioning or lifts within the hotel..There is a table table restaurant next door. But keep your options open as there is also Costa, Starbucks, KFC, and McDonald's all within walking distance.. The closest station is a 10-minute walk away, which makes it easy access to both Dalmarnock for Celtic Park and Glasgow Central Station.. Cheap for overnight stay for football, would stay again.
Premier Inn Glasgow City (George Square)

Central
The English breakfast was hearty and delicious. The hotel has complete facilities, elegant environment and high security. It is only a 5-minute walk from the university where my daughter is studying. There is a cafe downstairs, and afternoon tea is convenient.
Ibis Glasgow City Centre - Sauchiehall Street
4.2/5116 Reviews
Central
We went to Bella Italia for a meal before a concert. We booked a set menu at 6pm. Arrived on time, ordered 3 courses and expected to leave just before 7:30pm. Our first course came and was fine, then after almost an hour we enquired about our main course. The server checked the progress at a till point, printed off a ticket and took it to the kitchen. He told us it would be 5 minutes and apologised because they were having a problem with their new chefs. Shocking to pass the blame when chefs can only cook items when orders are actually placed. The meals arrived in about five minutes and we were told that there would be a deduction on our bill for the inconvenience. My meal was lukewarm, my friend’s was bubbling hot. I did not request a reheat as we were running out of time. We then asked for the bill and cancelled the desserts as we had no time left. They gave us dry brownies in a box to take away - which as it turned out we were not allowed to take into the concert hall in our bags. When the bill arrived, it was a la carte not set menu and there were no deductions. By that time, we had no time left to deal with that issue. Given that a lot of restaurants in the area have a time limit of one and a half hours per table, it isn’t unreasonable to expect to have a whole meal in that timescale. Very bad service, food definitely not up to scratch, and no teamwork with the staff. Will definitely never go back and will actively tell my friends and family to avoid this restaurant at all costs. Extremely disappointed!
Glasgow West Hotel by Compass Hospitality
3.4/546 Reviews
Ok, it’s good to park for free. There are three beds in the hotel room. The bath is very good. The room is a bit old. But overall it’s OK.
Britannia Inn Glasgow
4/5114 Reviews
Central
My wife and I planned a night out in Glasgow for our friends 40th birthday and booked this hotel for the night. I must say this hotel wasn't what I was expecting the front of house staff were really friendly and professional however that manager needs to learn she is in her position because of the customers and she should learn to speak to the customer in a more professional manner. In the space of 10 minutes while we were checking in we both saw her being disrespectful to 4 different customers. THE BAR and RESTAURANT The choice of drinks were ok however there was no draft beer available. They also had cocktails in the fridge however the barman refused to sell any to us due to the management not allowing him to do so. We paid for morning breakfast and they had a choice of continental or hot breakfast. The breakfast was the best part of the stay. THE ROOM The room was very simple. It had a small TV with standard free channels. The issue I had with the room was the staff only put 1 towel in the bathroom. If there are 2 people staying it should be policy that you get 2 towels. I cannot recommend this hotel until these issues are fixed and I will not be returning.
