The Spotlight on Argyll Western Hotel

Classic West End Charm Just Minutes from the Music

Modern convenience meets traditional style at the Argyll Western Hotel, a warm and welcoming stay in Glasgow’s vibrant West End. Housed in a lovely townhouse with period features like corniced ceilings and a spiral staircase, this hotel is just a short walk from the University of Glasgow and a quick bus ride to the city centre. Set on Great Western Road, you're surrounded by the charm of cafes, bars, and cobbled lanes—perfect for soaking in that pre- or post-gig atmosphere.

Why Concert-goers love it

With the number 66 bus stopping right outside, getting to and from gigs across Glasgow is a breeze—even late at night. The hotel is tucked away enough to offer a peaceful night’s sleep post-show, but still walking distance to buzzing Ashton Lane and other nightlife hotspots. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, allowing plenty of time to settle in before heading out, while the 11:00 AM check-out gives you a bit of post-concert recovery time.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading out for a weekend of music
- Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list gig
- Couples looking to combine concerts with a West End getaway
- Fans who want a quieter retreat after the show
- Budget-conscious concert lovers wanting charm without the cost

Food and Drink Options

A hearty breakfast is served daily in a high-ceilinged dining room—ideal after a late night. While there's no on-site bar or 24/7 room service, you're just minutes from walkable dining options on Ashton Lane, including pubs, cafes, and late-night eats. Bring back snacks and enjoy a quiet tea in your room with the in-room kettle setup.

Nightlife Options

You're in luck if you're looking to keep the night going—Ashton Lane is just around the corner, known for its buzzing bars, indie cinema, and lively atmosphere. While the hotel itself stays mellow, it's the perfect base to launch into Glasgow’s nightlife or return for a peaceful wind-down.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s location and character, loving the balance between West End charm and concert accessibility. The free WiFi, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms consistently earn high marks. Many highlight the ease of transport and mention feeling safe and well-rested after busy nights out.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer air conditioning, which can be noticeable during rare warm spells. Some rooms are compact, and the spiral staircase means you’ll want to pack light if you're on an upper floor. Still, the character and location tend to win people over.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a cozy, well-located, and affordable base with Glasgow charm, the Argyll Western Hotel hits all the right notes.

Awful hotel - don't stay...

Liked: I enjoyed nothing about this hotel other than the location and the front entrance of the hotel. At least the facade looked nice.
Disliked: Such a waste to use this beautiful building for this bad accommodation. Looked charming on the photos, but was not up to expectations. The furniture is the cheapest they could get, 20 years ago. The bed was dreadful, woke up more tired than the night before. The staff at the desk were not unfriendly, but exceptionally uninterested and not very welcoming. I would strongly advise to look for accommodation elsewhere, do not waste your money - or more importantly - your time here.

Good

Liked: Location was good. A few blocks from the metro station. Only stayed 1 night so sufficient for our needs. Kept our bags while we wandered around until our room was ready.
Disliked: Room was sufficient for the price. We stayed in the room next to the dining room. Window faced a wall, so we kept the curtain closed. Room felt dark. There was a plug-in portable heater we used for heat in the room. Overall for one night it was fine for what we paid.

Nice Hotel

Liked: Breakfast room and breakfast were lovely with plenty of choices.
Disliked: These are very minor things which didn't spoil my stay. I was on the top floor and I struggle with stairs and there was no lift. The TV in the room didn't work which didn't matter to me.
