IBIS BUDGET GLASGOW, Glasgow

The hotel is a 20-minute walk from Glasgow Central Station and Queen Street Station, or 15 minutes by public transport. The M8 motorway is a 2-minute drive. The SECC and OVO Hydro are about 15-20 minutes on foot, making this a practical base for concerts and events. Hampden Park is a 38-minute walk or a short taxi ride (£10). The surrounding complex offers a cinema, bowling, casino, and multiple restaurants such as Nando's, Frankie & Benny's, and Burger King. A Tesco and takeaways are on the main road. The area is well-lit during events but the back entrance through the car park can feel dark and secluded, so plan your route back after dark. A bus stop is 3 minutes from the hotel.

All rooms include an en-suite shower room and a separate toilet cubicle. A sink is located in the main room, and the shower is behind frosted glass with no lock. Double rooms have an optional bunk bed overhead (single bunk, not full). Room sizes are tight for three people, and the bunk bed layout can be awkward - the lower double is at head height under the bunk. Flooring is wooden, which can be slippery. Rooms do not have kettles, irons, or fridges, but a free hot water station and microwave are available at reception 24/7. Hairdryers are available to borrow from reception. Many rooms overlook the River Clyde. Some rooms may have a dated feel, particularly in corridors, and sound insulation between rooms is limited - road-facing rooms can be noisier.

Breakfast costs approximately £8.50 per adult and includes cereals, toast, pastries, fruits, yoghurt, sausages (including vegetarian), potato scones, and hot drinks. Children eat free. Service times are Monday to Friday 06:30-10:00 and weekends 07:00-12:00. A lighter breakfast-to-go can be arranged the day before for early departures. The hotel does not have a restaurant or cooked breakfast, but there is a 24/7 snack bar selling soft drinks, snacks, and alcohol. The surrounding Springfield Quay complex has several restaurants including Nando's, Frankie & Benny's, Ashoka @ The Quay, and Burger King, all within a 2-minute walk. A free tea and coffee station is available at reception 24 hours, and there is a shared lounge/TV area where you can eat your own food.

The hotel does not have its own pool, spa, or gym. Instead, the Springfield Quay complex offers a 12-screen cinema, a bowling alley, a casino, and a golf course within 3 km (additional charges apply). Movie nights and bingo are also available off-site. For outdoor activity, the River Clyde walkways are nearby, and the city centre's parks and attractions are a 10-minute walk. The hotel's location makes it easy to explore Glasgow's nightlife, with several restaurants and bars within walking distance. There is no on-site wellness centre, but the free parking and proximity to entertainment venues make it a convenient base for leisure trips.
