DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central

10/10 Excellent

"Great all round hotel, good bar and executive lounge. Well located."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Glasgow

10/10 Excellent

"The nicest people of all the places we stayed in Scotland- also the least expensive. The neighborhood is a little bit seedier than some others, so that is probably why it was cheaper, but it wasn’t bad and we felt perfectly safe. Was the only hotel that actually had two double beds and also they had washcloths! Apparently that is a novelty in Scotland. Staff were very helpful and I wish we had more than one night there because it was a much nicer experience than all of the other places we stayed."
