The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express - Glasgow - City Ctr Riverside

Modern Comfort by the Clyde, Minutes from the Music

A clean and contemporary base near Glasgow’s buzzing city center, the Holiday Inn Express - Glasgow - City Ctr Riverside puts you right where the action is. Located along the scenic River Clyde and just a short walk from Glasgow Central Station, this hotel blends convenience with comfort. With fresh, air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and complimentary breakfast, it’s a smart choice for music lovers looking to explore the city without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than a 10-minute walk from several key venues, making late-night returns a breeze. With 24/7 access and quick connections via nearby subway stations, you won’t need to worry about missing that encore. Soundproofed rooms mean you can recover in peace after the show, and the 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before heading out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a gig together
  • Solo travelers chasing that once-in-a-lifetime performance
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend
  • Fans who want a quiet night's sleep after the show
  • Budget-conscious travelers looking for value and location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a free buffet breakfast — perfect for late risers after a night out. While there’s no full restaurant, you can grab pizzas and evening snacks anytime from the lounge or vending machines. You’ll also find plenty of restaurants and casual eats within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more chill than party, you're just a short walk from Glasgow's vibrant bar scene, including pubs, cocktail lounges, and spots with live music. It’s a great starting point for a night out — or a quiet place to wind down after one.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, spotless rooms, and central location. Many reviews highlight the hotel’s great value for money and the convenience of walking to shops, restaurants, and venues. Travelers also rave about the breakfast and the ease of check-in.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms are a bit on the smaller side, and the area can be quiet at night — which is great for sleep, but not ideal if you're looking for a party just outside your door. Also, while there’s discounted parking, it’s off-site.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an affordable, clean, and convenient stay near Glasgow’s top music venues, the Holiday Inn Express - Glasgow - City Ctr Riverside hits all the right notes.

Sophie , West Lothian , visiting O2 Academy Glasgow

Overall my stay was good at this hotel. Unfortunately we were not advised by hotel staff that there was work being carried out on the hotel. Me and my boyfriend were out late the night before due to celebrating our birthday and Valentine's Day and was looking forward to a lie in but we were woken up with a panic as we heard a very loud and noisy drilling noise right next door to our room. We left the hotel shortly after this to see workmen next to our room .

Liked: Clean room.
Disliked: Work being carried out on hotel.
