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.

Nice but too expensive

Liked: Location is good, bedding good
Disliked: Staff were offhand, not welcoming. Room was very small up a steep staircase. Tiny shower room which smelt of mould and was mouldy around the corners in the shower. Chrome shelves were rusty

It did a job

Recommend this cute little place...

Liked: LOVED the staff. One of the guys showed us cat videos and let us choose between rooms. Breakfast was good. The building was nice, beds comfortable, and bathroom clean with good water pressure. Across the road was a restaurant or two, gelato, and a pharmacy. The botanical garden was right by.

Over priced and disappointing.

Liked: Location was great.
Disliked: Value for money is terrible. Breakfast should be included with the prices they charge, and the place is in serious need of improvements and renovations.

Apart from the bins and...

Liked: Location handy for the Botanical Gardens and the restaurants and cafes in the West End. Friendly staff. Good breakfast but spoiled by commercial radio station blaring away.
Disliked: Ground floor room with window onto the bins at the back. Hard bed, but managed to sleep soundly as it was quiet.
