TRAVELODGE GLASGOW QUEEN STREET, Glasgow

The hotel sits on Queen Street, placing you within easy walking distance of both main railway stations, Buchanan Street bus station (14 minutes), and the St Enoch subway. The city's shops, restaurants, and bars are right on the doorstep - over a dozen dining options are within 0.5 km. For airport transfers, the bus stop is a short walk away. The location is ideal for exploring Glasgow's attractions, including the art gallery and Merchant City. If driving, note that central parking is limited and costs £19 per day nearby; the Low Emission Zone applies, so consider using park-and-ride and subway. The area is generally safe and well-lit, but some street noise can be expected on lower floors.

Standard rooms include double or twin beds, TV, and work desk. Superior 'SuperRooms' offer extra space, a coffee pod machine, and a rainfall shower head - though this feature is not always present. Family rooms come with a double bed and two single camp beds, practical for groups. Bathrooms are compact with shower curtains; water pressure can be low. Carpets may show signs of wear in certain rooms, and decor can feel dated. To minimise noise, request a room on a higher floor (4th+) facing the rear. Windows can be opened but street noise may disturb light sleepers. No air conditioning - a fan is provided. Keycard access to the building and lifts can be temperamental.

Breakfast is a paid buffet (approx. £9.50 per person) featuring scrambled eggs, sausages, beans, toast, pastries, and hot drinks. Vegetarian sausages may need to be requested and can take time. Hot egg choice is limited to scrambled; other hot items are typically available. The bar/restaurant also offers dinner - pub-style dishes like bangers and mash, but pre-paid dinner packages may incur supplements for certain items. For those preferring more variety, the immediate vicinity is packed with restaurants, cafes, and bars within a few minutes' walk. The breakfast area can feel canteen-like and get busy during peak times.

The hotel provides a 24-hour reception, daily housekeeping (limited to towel change and bin emptying for stays under 6 nights), and a meeting room. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures. Wi-Fi costs £3 per 24 hours after a 30-minute free session; mobile signal can be weak inside the building. Parking is off-site and costs £19 per day, with no reservation - street parking is subject to Glasgow's LEZ. Pets are allowed with possible charges. The lift serves all floors, but occasional breakdowns can cause queues. Keycards can be unreliable. Some rooms lack hairdryers - these can be borrowed from reception. Soap dispensers in bathrooms may run empty.
