While the following three are by all means far from the only ones worth trying, they are among the best of their respective price-classes.

  • Thistle Glasgow is an excellent luxury hotel that is located in the middle of Glasgow’s shopping, entertainment and business centre. It is therefore within exceptionally close proximity of almost anything you could need, though given its many in-house options for food and drink you might not take advantage of this feature. Rates start at 90 pounds per night.
  • Merchant City hotel Glasgow is a good mid-range option that offers comfortable rooms at a quiet location without sacrificing proximity to the main attractions of the city centre. Rates commence at 39 pounds a night.
  • Victorian House Hotel is a good choice for more price-conscious travellers. Both the service and the amenities are basic, but the central location and the reasonable rates of 22 pounds per night more than make up for it.

Feel free to browse and compare our Glasgow hotels, and remember all bookings are covered by our best price guarantee.
