Stay Metro ApartHotels Glasgow
We were truly delighted with our stay at this property. Located on the 7th floor—right on top—the views and quietness were perfect despite being directly opposite Glasgow Central Station. The sound of passing trains was barely noticeable, just a gentle hum, which didn’t disrupt our rest at all. The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Glasgow, just a short walk from George Square and other main attractions. A hop-on hop-off bus stop is literally steps from the entrance—super convenient for exploring the city. The apartment itself was spotless, fresh, and generously spacious. The bedding and furnishings were incredibly comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. Service stood out—when we noticed a curtain had come off its track, we reported it, and it was fixed the very next day. That kind of prompt attention really impressed us. Plus, secure underground parking was a huge plus, even though we didn’t use our car during our three-day visit. It gave us peace of mind knowing our belongings and vehicle were safe. From location to comfort to service, every detail felt thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend for travelers who value convenience, quality, and reliability.
Alexander Thomson Hotel
Stayed in room 236, located in the new wing of the hotel—huge, modern, and super comfortable. Two nights was just right, and the location was excellent, with easy access to downtown Glasgow by public transit. A couple of things to note: if you're particular about breakfast options, be prepared for a classic Scottish spread—think cold cuts, fried eggs, and simple fare—not much in the way of hot or continental choices. Also, there's no parking available on-site, so driving here requires finding off-street options nearby. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The room quality, staff friendliness, and value for money made this a great stay. Highly recommend!

The welcome drink upon check-in was a thoughtful touch that set a warm tone for our stay. The staff were consistently professional, courteous, and attentive without being overbearing. Our third-floor room faced the old town, offering a charming view of the city’s character. The elevator worked smoothly, and the room was well-insulated—noise from the street didn’t carry in at all, even late into the night. The double glazing made a noticeable difference. Inside, the space was clean, well-presented, and thoughtfully designed: a comfortable bed, excellent bathroom with a strong shower, ample wardrobe space, a safe, mini-fridge, and complimentary tea, coffee, and water. Breakfast was generous and varied—great quality and a real highlight. The only minor note is that the room felt quite warm during our stay; the air conditioning didn’t seem to be activated, possibly due to the season. Still, that didn’t dampen the overall experience.
