- Area description
- With one of the most central addresses the Best Western Glasgow City Hotel is a stunning traditional townhouse conversion, retaining many of its original features. Found just minutes from the M8 Motorway at Charing Cross this certainly must be one of the easiest hotels to locate in the City. From Glasgow Airport, take M8 Motorway heading to the City Centre. Come off at Charing Cross Junction 18. Take a left at the first set of traffic lights, turn left at second set of traffic lights onto St Vincent Street. Take right at third set of traffic lights onto Elmbank Street. Arrive at your destination on the left.

Dining
- Elliot's Restaurant & Bar
- Elliot's Bar Restaurant is a well thought-out bar and adjoining brasserie-type-affair, another Bath Street subterranean drinking affair. This one's aimed at the more tailored boozer, well presented in bright red details over black ash and crisp white linen. The menu spans the globe with some interesting options for a mid-price lunchtime bite.
- Massimo Italian Restaurant
- Massimo Glasgow opened in 1996, it is situated close to the main attractions in Glasgow city centre and being opposite the King's Theatre makes it ideal for theatregoers and thespians alike. With a warm and modern interior it makes a relaxed and informal atmosphere, perfect for a romantic dinner for two or a family night out. Courteous and friendly staff will make sure that you and your friends or family have a good time and a great meal. All food is freshly cooked to order and only the finest seasonal produce is used. The speedy service and excellent value make it an ideal dining stop prior to a show or as a night out in itself.
- Bar Budda Sauchiehall Street
- Bar Budda on Sauchiehall St in the bustling city of Glasgow is one of the city's busiest and best bars. For a night on the tiles they have DJ's playing most nights with some party tunes to get you in the mood and some great drinks promotions to top it off. Recently refurbished in March 2008 Budda is a well established Bar with quality and great value for money Pub food. Their menu will have something to tickle those taste buds! The Evening Times calls them one of the 'Best Bars in Glasgow' with good reason; it is the perfect pre-club location now it is open till 2am at the weekend for you to party all night. As a bonus it's FREE ENTRY ALL NIGHT!! And there are some seats outside for you smokers or just some summer drinking.

Excellent for city break
Staff very helpful and friendly.. Room very comfortable. A good location for the city centre. Train station very near if you wish to travel outside Glasgow. Just a pity that the hotel had trouble with the water supply during my stay! All in all, a lovely experience. Would stay there again.

Best Western is trying to get it right
I have really enjoyed my stays at a number of Best Western hotels in Scotland. I really enjoy how they are refurbishing older inns and buildings to modern standards and keeping some of the old charm. The Glasgow City Hotel unfortunately didn't quite measure up to the standards of the others I have stayed in.

Friendly welcoming hotel
Very enjoyable, the staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Great breakfast . Our room was clean and comfortable with a huge bed. The only suggestion would be to improve the wine it was fairly grim

Very nice hotel
Hotel staff was so nice. Room was so clean and comfortable. Smaller than most USA rooms, normal for Europe. No elevator as it is a listed building. But there are rooms on the ground floor.

Hot in the basement!
We were given a lower ground room which had 2 big drawbacks; one was lack of natural lighting and the other was we weren't allowed to open the window for security reasons and therefore it was very hot. The room itself was well presented although a little small, however it had a massive bathroom which was nicely decorated. The staff were all foreign bar one and not one asked how we were at any time and on leaving didn't ask how our stay had been - very clinical!

First timer
Beware the parking charges! Make sure you get the hotel staff to write down the charges for the multi storey car park the hotel uses. If you are staying more than a couple of days it could cost you dear and the staff do not all know how much parking there actually costs during the day and night. Tip! Unload your suitcases first at the door then park your car or you could get soaked going back and forward to the car park. Hot water comes out the cold taps, I don'tknow why. Hot water comes out the cold

Nice hotel - centrally located...
Not bad, but paper thin walls. Bad when other guests want to sing to themselves when you need to sleep...Overall though, very good value for money. Nice location for down town and the West End. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are helpful and friendly.
