Perfect Apartment in Glasgow City Centre

Advantages: Perfect location
Disadvantages: None

...We stayed at this 4-star apartment hotel on 19th of December 2008 for 1 night before we head to Isle of Bute for our friend?s wedding. We flew into Glasgow International Airport from London City Airport with British Airways. It took about 1 hour and 35 minutes get reach Glasgow. As soon as we reached Glasgow Airport, we went straight to the car rental desk to pick up our car. Once you come out of the arrival hall you will see several car rental companies right in front of you. The distance to the hotel from the Airport is about 11miles and it should really take about 20 minutes to reach the hotel. But we took over an hour to reach our hotel, because the weather was really bad and there was an accident on the road. Just be careful, there are a lot of one-way systems in the city centre, so if you get a turning wrong then it?ll take you...

Café Hula - Great Homecooked Food in the Heart of Glasgow

Advantages: Great food, good value, handy for Theatre Royal, relaxed atmosphere, excellent service
Disadvantages: None really. But you might get undercharged!

...spotted the odd thespian here too (including John Savident (Coronation "Ashley, I say, Ashley" Street) who was starring in HMS Pinafore). I am lead to believe that Café Hula is run by a husband and wife team, both of whom operate mainly back of house, although it has one of those fairly open dining/kitchen areas. It is a bustling and busy place but with a relaxing buzz; it has been busy on each occasion that we have eaten here (although that has been either Friday or Saturday early evening) and I would definitely recommend booking at the weekend to avoid disappointment. We have only ever eaten here pre-theatre and each time it has been a very positive and enjoyable experience. The staff are mainly young, and are enthusiastic, friendly and efficient. Some are from overseas, possibly students in Glasgow, and their...

Glasgow's Alive

Advantages: Vibrant, City of Culture
Disadvantages: None

...mainly for Business customers at lunch time. I had my 30th Birthday party in here though, as they have a private function room. The food is reasonably priced. The building itself was formerly an old Embassy, not sure which one. A little way out of town on the A77, is a great favourite restaurant of mine, The Cook?s Room. This opened in about 1996, and seats about 24. It is so cosy, and the food is great. If you go, please tell Tom I sent you! And if you really must, you can go to TGI Fridays on the corner of Buchanan and Gordon Streets. A good source for deals in restaurants is the website www.5pm.co.uk which has offers on for tonnes of restaurants in Glasgow, as well as other locations in the UK.

Review of Glasgow in general

cheap hotel in glasgow

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: --

...**** Argyll Hotel**** **Location/Getting there** This hotel isn't dead central in Glasgow as you have to walk for quite a while down Sauchiehall street but it is a great budget hotel to stay in if you are planning to go to the SECC.They even have maps to help you get from the hotel to the SECC and it only takes about 15 minutes to walk it. **Reception/staff** The hotel isn't that glamourous or anything but the staff are always very helpful and friendly. You get the feeling that they like their job which is nice instead of having a scowling member of staff. **Hotel/Room** Pretty much every time i have stayed in this hotel i have had the same room.Its pretty standard as rooms go .It is always very clean and tidy,it has a kettle and some biscuits.The shower is okay.They always give us plenty of pillows . **Other** They...

Review of Argyll Hotel, Glasgow

My strange night in Glasgow

Advantages: Reasonably priced, good location, breakfast ok
Disadvantages: The staff, lack of digital TV

...~~~Intro~~~ Back in August everything was going fantastically, I'd been on a great barge holiday with friends, work was bearable, things with hubby good, and my self-injury charity work going amazingly. I became aware of a self-harm conference in Glasgow on 18th October, and thought that it would be a great networking opportunity. After booking a place. I spent some time while bored at work searching on the Internet for a reasonably priced hotel in Glasgow within walking distance of the train station and the conference venue. There was quite a selection, but it seemed that the Merchant Lodge hotel would suit me nicely in terms of location and cost (£50 B&B). A couple of weeks prior to the event, disaster struck in our charity (perhaps a year down the line when everything is sorted I will review what can go wrong in small...

Review of The Merchant Lodge, Glasgow

Hot and spicy in Glasgow

Advantages: Great food
Disadvantages: Not a huge selection

...A recent trip to Glasgow resulted in a couple of meals out, one of which was in The Wee Curry Shop along Byres Road in the West End of Glasgow. The Wee Curry Shop has three outlets in Glasgow: Ashton Lane, which is the West End's bar street and Buccleuch Street, which is near the Glasgow School of Art. I didn't visit either of the other two outlets, but friends who have claim that they are similar, with some differences in the menu. Location: 41 Byres Street Glasgow Tel: 0141 339 1339 Website: http://www.weecurryshopglasgow.co.uk This is near Hillhead underground station and is within 20 minutes walking distance of Hyndland overland train station. Decor First impressions weren't all that brilliant. Going straight in through the door takes you directly into the restaurant and it seems really small, with the bar to...

Campanile Hotel, Glasgow

Advantages: nice rooms
Disadvantages: nothing major

...After deciding to take a trip to Glasgow for a few days, my husband and I set out to find a good value hotel. After looking at the usual Travelodges and Premier Travel Inns, we came across the Campanile hotel which is like the French version of Travelodge. It was 52 pounds a night and had a secure car park, something which we found very good as parking in Glasgow tends to be quite expensive. Although the price was good we decided to shop around and managed to book 3 nights for 122 pounds on Expedia. The location of the hotel was very good as it was in the newly upgraded and developed area near the SECC and surrounding the hotel was luxury apartments, the new Clyde Arc bridge, the new STV and BBC Scotland studios and the SECC and Glasgow Science Centre. It was 20 minutes walking to the Kelvingrove Art Museum and the Transport...

Glasgow Thistle - Never again!

Advantages: Pleasant Staff
Disadvantages: Small rooms, dirty, run down, expensive and very limited menu.

...I have just spent eight weeks at the Glasgow Thistle Hotel. They were the worst eight weks of my life so far and it was all down to the hotel. On our first night at the hotel, our group arrived at about 1am in the morning after a flight delay. The night staff quickly and efficiently allocated us our rooms which were located on the first floor. As i got into my room, i was aware of a groaning noise coming from the window area. On looking out the window, i realised that our rooms were next to the hotels air conditioning units. I was so tired at this point that i did not request to be moved, as i was being picked up for my course at 8.30 am. the room was equipped with two single beds, which appeared slightly smaller than standard. I got into the first one only to realise that the matress was so old that i had sunk into the middle of it...
