Well located hotel with decent breakfast
Pros:

It is located next to the Glasgow main bus station so it is very convenient. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and does it job well. The included breakfast is better than expected with bacon, sausage and hashbrowns included. It is a good value stay and I will stay there again in the future.

Not again
Pros:

Please choose another hotel. First floor rooms do have underground noises which were exhausting. No sleeping possible till midnight, and again from 6:15 in the morning. Strong smell of eggs since 5:00 in the morning from breakfast room on the same floor! Stay away!

Let down by the breakfast
Pros:

This is in a great location for the centre but far out enough that it's lovely and quiet. Everything you'd expect from a Holiday Inn Express. The only thing that let it down waa the breakfast - everything was overcooked, awful eggs and the staff were slow to refill when things ran out.

Excellent bed and breakfast in great location.
Pros:

Basic Hotel, in an excellent location a short walk from Buchanan Street bus station and Buchanan Galleries shopping centre. The hotel is very clean, has well designed bedrooms making full use of the limited space and is a prefect place to spend the night when visiting Glasgow. A very good breakfast was included in the price, which was overall excellent value for money.
