Loved this hotel! As being a big music person, I appreciated all the cool little 'attention to details' and cute musical accents all around. Great hospitality--friendly and helpful staff for being a newbie to Glasgow. The lobby/common area was awesome (wanted to hang out there more) & great bar and coffee shop.with full breakfast and menu. Nice, large bed in room and great shower. No complaints and would highly recommend! Thank you!

Loved my stay here. The location is ideally located in the city centre with easy access to transport links. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The lobby is one of the best parts of this place. What stood out for me was the amazing service and hospitality. Special mention to Daniel. Had some issues with my booking and he sorted it all out in the most stress free manner as possible. One of the best experiences I've had staying in any hotel.

Check-in was smooth, and the staff made us feel right at home with some friendly Halloween-themed small talk. Our room was spacious and spotless, and we appreciated the thoughtful treats given to us as ALL members. The bar area had a relaxed, cool vibe, perfect for unwinding. Highly recommend!

The staff was very nice and always there to help you. The room, even though not very spacious, was very clean. The breakfast had many options and was great each morning. If you are looking for a hotel with a youthful atmosphere, close to the city central this is the place for you. Also, the bar in the hotel lobby is opened 24/7 for the guests.

Ibis Styles Glasgow Central offers a comfortable stay with a vibrant, music-themed decor that adds a quirky touch to the hotel. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Glasgow Central Station, making it convenient for exploring the city. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, clean rooms, and cozy beds, although some mention that the rooms can be on the smaller side. The breakfast options are decent, with a continental selection, but could offer more variety. Overall, it’s a great value for money for a short stay in Glasgow.

Great central location, easy walking distance to train, subway, main shopping areas and lots of eateries and bars. Room comfy and clean if overly warm during night ( tried unsuccessfully to turn thermostat down). Very good breakfast.

The hotel is in a good location, on a fairly quiet road (pub and bar wise) but an easy walk to the centre and the train station. |The staff were very friendly, check-in quick and easy. The bar area was nice. …
