5/5
This hotel is yet another example of the consistency of the Holiday Inn Express brand. A modern and immaculately clean hotel with well-appointed rooms and friendly staff. The mattresses and pillows are super comfortable, and the large TV has plenty of channels.The location is central to everything in the city and nearby to a major bus and rail terminal. A bus to/from Glasgow airport runs every 15 minutes and is about 15 minutes from the airport. A train to Edinburgh takes less than an hour.The breakfast had lots of delicious choices, but I wish the International HI Expresses had the pancake machine too. My only issue during my stay was the slowest WiFi, but the staff said they would be replacing the system with more antennas soon.And the value for the price was super reasonable!

This is the second time I have stayed at this most wonderful and comfortable hotel in central Glasgow. I stayed here in 2022, and recently twice during a trip in August, and both times just loved it. …

From the moment we walked through the doors to the moment we walked out, we felt welcomed by the staff. Everyone was so kind, friendly and went out of their way to ensure that we had the most wonderful stay. We were in town for one night as we began our honeymoon, and we were incredibly surprised to find that we had been upgraded to a suite upon check in. It was so unexpected but made us both feel very special and cared for, and absolutely set the tone for the rest of our adventure. Not only were the staff incredible, but the room itself was very clean and comfortable. The location of this hotel is excellent - central to dozens upon dozens of incredible restaurants and plenty of things to see and do. The next time we are in Glasgow we will absolutely return to this location! I would absolutely recommend a stay at this hotel in a heartbeat!

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Glasgow - City Ctr Theatreland, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The cleanliness of the hotel left much to be desired. My room felt like it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in a while, with dust in the corners and a general lack of attention to detail.The breakfast was a real letdown as well. Some of the plates were clearly not washed properly, which was extremely off-putting. The food itself didn’t seem fresh or hygienic, making the entire experience quite unpleasant. I expected much better from a hotel under the IHG brand, but sadly, this stay didn’t meet even basic standards. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and clean place to stay.

Recently stayed here for 3 nights and I will say it was perfect. Great location right bang in the middle of the city centre can walk to alot of attraction or take the bus stop opposite. The staff went out of their way to provide great service with a smile. Very clean rooms cleaned daily. Any questions where answered expertly by staff at reception. Great parking discount too 12£ for 24 hours! Will recommend to anyone visiting Glasgow.Can't wait to come again!

Very friendly and engaging staff. The room was small but with a very nice, well-designed bathroom. La Bonne Auberge had a good-value set menu. Starter arrived at the same time as the fire alarm went off. …
