Perfect Short Break Hotel

Another fantastic stay at this hotel. We've stayed here a few times now when we've had early travel plans from the bus or train stations in Glasgow. The rooms are comfortable, surprisingly spacious, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is included and has all the usual staples you'd expect from a breakfast buffet. We also had time to relax in the bar area, which is comfortable and well-stocked, and affords a good bit of people-watching from the big glass windows! Ever member of staff we encountered was friendly and welcoming and we had excellent service throughout our stay. The location is perfect if you're planning to explore Glasgow city centre.

Not bad considering it is a franchisee hotel

It’s a franchisee hotel. The rooms appear new. The real disappointment was the TV. When I checked in I was able to use the smart features on the TV and stream Youtube from my phone to the TV. But after going out for dinner and coming back the TV would not connect to WiFi. And the next whole day, maintenance struggled trying to get the smart features working back. At the end saying it is not available on TVs in other room so I don’t know how it was working in your room.

Theatreland’s accommodation with style

In Glasgow to see show at Theatre Royal. Holiday Inn Express provided everything a visitor to Glasgow could want or need. Very close to most theatres as well as restaurants. Would definitely book again

Ever felt like sardines

Location is great, breakfast was great, service was great but the room was so small. We had a family room with a sofa bed and a full sized bed. We also had a double buggy for a 3 year old and a 6 month old. We had myself who is disabled and my daughter who is mother of the children. Even when the sofa bed was folded there was just no room to get around. I struggled with my walking stick and my 3 year old grandson bumped his head often while playing due to the height of the facings. I genuinely believe the rooms are suitable for adults only and I don’t think sofa beds should be squeezed in as the rooms are small enough.
