Fraser Suites Glasgow
The property was lovely. The room was very well kept and having a kitchen in the suite was great. The location was beyond words. Everything is a 15 minute walk or less and everything else you want to do is a bus or subway ride away. Couldn't be happier.

Ibis Styles Glasgow Centre George Square
A great hotel just tucked away from the hubub so nice and quiet - yet only a minute away from all that central Glasgow has to offer. And a bargain too. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a centrally located hotel at a wallet friendly price
