YOTEL Glasgow
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The property was clean and tidy. The water pressure in bathroom was extremely low, so low that using the hand held shower nozzle there was no water coming out. The hot water was barely warm.

Motel One Glasgow
Small, basic but comfortable room. Great, friendly bar. Hugely overheated - had the battle between opening the (9th floor) windows to cool down, or closing them to block out the noise from the nightlife and traffic. Very central to the station, shopping, many restaurants, clubs and bars.
