Staying at Premier Suites Plus Glasgow Bath Street was an absolute delight! The apartment exceeded all my expectations—spacious, stylish, and incredibly comfortable.

Secc Hydro Executive 7 Apartment
I stayed here in June 2022 during a trip to Scotland, and unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. The property is essentially a collection of apartments located in an aging building situated in a less desirable part of Glasgow. My unit didn’t match the photos shown on the platform at all—I brought this up, and was told the images were from other units. The windows wouldn’t close properly, letting in constant street noise from the busy road outside. Up close, the place looked dirty and clearly lacked proper maintenance. Overall, I regret choosing this accommodation and believe I could have found a better option for the price.
Ibis Styles Glasgow Central
Staying at Ibis Styles Glasgow Central was a fantastic experience! The staff who checked us in were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable—so welcoming and helpful with local recommendations. The hotel’s central location makes it super convenient for exploring the city, especially with easy access to public transit. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a great vibe throughout. It’s clear they care about guest satisfaction. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Glasgow.

I stayed at the Ibis Budget Glasgow and was thoroughly impressed. The location is excellent—just a short walk from public transit and close to restaurants, shops, and attractions. The room was spacious for the price, with a clean and functional bathroom and shower. The TV offered a good variety of channels, and the quiet environment made for an excellent night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. It’s a no-brainer recommendation for travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and value. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Glasgow.
Kelvingrove Hotel - Sauchiehall St
Located right in the heart of Glasgow, Kelvingrove Hotel is super convenient for exploring the city on foot or via subway. However, it’s important to note that there’s no parking available on-site. We parked on the street initially—free at first, but after 8 PM, the rates kicked in and the pay machines didn’t accept credit cards, making it frustrating and expensive. We later tried a lot near the museum, but that parking was also pricey. Parking in Glasgow really isn’t cheap, so if you’re driving, be prepared for high costs. Another downside: no elevator, which made carrying heavy luggage up to the rooms quite challenging, especially for higher floors. On the bright side, breakfast was actually quite good—offering both hot and cold options. At first, we thought it was just bread and cereal, but soon a staff member came by to ask what hot meal we’d like. The variety was nice, and service was attentive. Overall, despite the parking hassle and lack of elevator, the location and breakfast make it a decent choice for travelers who prioritize convenience over car access.

Staying at Sandyford Lodge for two nights turned out to be a delightful surprise. From the warm welcome to the clean, quiet room on the second floor, everything exceeded expectations—especially considering the price. The breakfast was fresh and satisfying, adding great value to the overall experience. What really stood out was the location: a variety of cozy local eateries are just steps away on the parallel street, perfect for casual dining. Plus, there's a covered parking lot just a 5-minute walk away, costing only £12 per day—affordable and secure. With such excellent quality-to-price ratio, this place feels like a hidden gem in Glasgow. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and great value.
Sandyford Hotel
I stayed in a single room and was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was—much larger than I expected for this type of accommodation. The room was clean, well-maintained, and came with all the essentials: hairdryer, coffee maker, and complimentary tea and coffee. The breakfast was excellent—fresh, varied, and delicious. Staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. One thing to note is that the hotel is on the 4th floor, so climbing up and down can be quite tiring, especially with luggage. However, the overall experience made it worth the effort. Great location, good value, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place if you're visiting Glasgow—it's a solid choice for comfort and convenience.

The room was small but tidy, with all the essentials and a good night’s rest. It’s well located near public transit, making it easy to explore the city without hassle. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, upgrading to a higher-floor room offers better views and slightly more space—worth considering if you want a little extra comfort. Overall, this place exceeds expectations for its price point. Perfect for travelers who value simplicity, cleanliness, and convenience without breaking the bank.
