Food and Drink Options

Start the day right (even if it starts a bit later than usual) with a large buffet breakfast in The Great Room. If you're craving something heartier, La Bonne Auberge serves up full Scottish breakfasts and refined French-Mediterranean cuisine. While there's no 24-hour room service, the on-site options and nearby eateries offer plenty to fuel up before or after a show.

Nightlife Options

You're in a prime spot for Glasgow nightlife. Whether you're heading to a live show or looking for a few post-concert drinks, the bars and clubs of Sauchiehall Street and the Merchant City are just a few minutes away. For a more relaxed pace, the hotel bar is a good spot to unwind with a drink before calling it a night.

What People Say

Guests love the central location, especially for getting to concerts and theatres on foot. Reviewers frequently praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and value for money. The free Wi-Fi and power showers also get a thumbs-up from travelers who appreciate the little comforts.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be a touch compact for those with lots of gear or luggage—but they're well laid-out and have everything you need. Some guests mention the breakfast area gets busy at peak times, so plan accordingly if you're in a hurry.

The Bottom Line

A well-located, affordable base for music fans who want to stay in the heart of Glasgow and just steps from the city's top venues.
