Everything was fine overall, but I experienced difficulties with the Wi-Fi connection. Although I stayed for one night, I was unable to connect to the Wi-Fi at all.

Best Western Glasgow Hotel
We had a group of ten in four rooms and it was a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful as we were not from Glasgow. The hotel is one street away from every possible restaurant, pub, and coffee shop. Very walkable, close to a big park, near the university. Highly recommend this ...

Sandyford Hotel
Staff was great and gave wonderful advice on things to see and do. Bathroom was spotless. Rooms were devoid of any decoration, but clean minus some scuffs on the walls. The beds are perfect for those who enjoy a firm mattress. My hips were not a fan.

Crowne Plaza Hotel Glasgow by IHG
The fact that you can walk to the OVO Hydro, one of UKs most prominent arenas makes the Crowne Plaza a must stay. We really enjoyed the front desk and pub staff for “Banter” and sight seeing ideas, places to go and shop. Glasgow is the right size city, folks overwhelming nice and approachable.
