Hotel Details

Location

A 10-minute walk from Glasgow city centre, this Premier Inn is well-placed for the O2 Academy, Barrowlands, and Glasgow Green.
The hotel lies on the south side of the city, roughly 10-15 minutes on foot from Glasgow Central station and 20 minutes from Buchanan Street. The M8 motorway is easily accessible, making it convenient for drivers. Nearby venues include the O2 Academy (5 minutes walk), Barrowlands (15 minutes), and the SSE Hydro (short taxi ride). Glasgow Green provides a pleasant jogging route. A Co-op supermarket is within a short walk, and several restaurants and bars are within 0.5 km.

Accommodation

Standard Premier Inn rooms feature comfortable beds, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms are dated; Premier Plus rooms offer extra space and amenities.
Rooms are carpeted with cable TV, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Standard rooms lack air conditioning - heating is via small radiators that can be slow to warm the room; windows only open slightly. Noise insulation is limited, with corridor and street sounds often audible. Some rooms have limited storage, no desk, and only one mains socket by the bed. Premier Plus rooms include air conditioning, a coffee machine, iron and board, and more spacious layouts. The lift serves all floors but has been reported as unreliable. Family rooms available with space for an extra bed or cot.

Dining

Thyme restaurant serves breakfast buffet and evening meals. Meal deals offer good value, but service can be slow and food quality varies.
Breakfast is a buffet with cooked options and continental items, available for £9 per person. Children eat free at breakfast under certain conditions. The cooked breakfast can be inconsistent - sometimes cold or not replenished. Evening meals include a range of pub-style dishes; meal deals are reasonably priced. Service can be slow during busy periods, and the restaurant may close unexpectedly due to staff shortages. A vending machine for snacks and drinks is available. Several restaurants and a Co-op are within walking distance.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and meeting rooms. Parking available for a daily fee. Lift access but may be unreliable.
Wi-Fi is free in all rooms but has been reported as slow or unreliable. The 24-hour front desk provides luggage storage and can assist with meeting/banquet facilities. Parking is on-site for a daily fee (currently £5, but subject to change); payment must be made via the hotel system to avoid later billing issues. The lift is often out of order, which can be problematic for guests with mobility needs. Facilities for disabled guests exist but are limited - the accessible rooms have low beds and unreachable amenities. Vending machines for drinks and snacks are available. Family rooms and cots are provided.
