PREMIER INN GLASGOW PACIFIC QUAY, Glasgow

Situated on Pacific Quay, the hotel is immediately across Bell Bridge from the OVO Hydro, SEC Armadillo, and SEC Centre - ideal for concert and event attendees. The city centre is a 10-minute drive or 30-minute riverside walk away, and the X19 bus stops within a 3-minute walk for a direct connection to the city. A taxi to the city centre or central station costs around £10-£15. For drivers, Ibrox Stadium and Glasgow Science Centre are within easy reach, and the hotel provides a discounted on-site parking rate for guests.

Standard rooms feature a double or twin beds, a private bathroom with bath or shower, flat-screen TV, electric kettle, ironing facilities, and carpeted flooring. Premier Plus rooms add a Nespresso machine, mini fridge, bottled water, chocolates, and access to faster 'Ultimate Wi-Fi'. Rooms on the top floor generally offer a quieter stay. Single towel sets for double bookings is an occasional issue; extra towels are available from reception. Hairdryers are provided but may have limited power. Some rooms lack a plug socket on both sides of the bed. The heating system can only be set no lower than 19°C, and windows do not open, so internal room temperature cannot be significantly altered. Rooms facing the river are less affected by kitchen smells.

The Thyme restaurant offers evening meals from 17:30 to 21:30 daily, serving a menu of classic British dishes, snacks, and a children's menu. The buffet breakfast (charged extra, around £9-£11 per person) includes hot items like bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, black pudding, and hash browns, alongside a continental selection of pastries, fruits, cereals, and yoghurts. Drinks are from a self-serve machine. Dinner reservations are highly recommended on event nights as walk-in tables can be unavailable. Some breakfast items (e.g. temperature of cooked food, quality of black pudding) have inconsistent results. For a quick alternative, the hotel's Costa coffee shop serves hot drinks and snacks in the lobby.

The hotel itself does not have a pool, gym, or spa. The primary leisure advantage is its location: a short stroll along the River Clyde, with the Glasgow Science Centre just 5 minutes away. The outdoor terrace overlooking the river provides a space to relax. For a wider range of options, the city centre and West End are a short taxi or bus ride away.

The hotel operates a 24-hour front desk and offers express check-in/out. Luggage storage is available free of charge. Self-check-in kiosks are the primary method, but staff at the desk can assist. Housekeeping is not automatic for multi-night stays; requests for room servicing should be made at reception. Paid 'Ultimate Wi-Fi' is available for faster speeds and streaming; free Wi-Fi is available in public areas only. On-site parking costs approximately £4-£9.50 per 24 hours (with a discount code from reception). No CCTV is available for the car park. The hotel has a lift, facilities for disabled guests, and is entirely non-smoking. The bar and restaurant are available for drinks and meals.
