Awful noise from adjacent room(s)
Pros:

The room was generally fine apart from a badly peeling counter edge. It was large (not complaining about that) but it made it seem under-furnished and a bit unwelcoming. Nice, clean, recently refurbished bathroom. Good water pressure in the shower. BUT: awful noise from room above, continuous clumping and bumping from feet. and at 5:30 in the morning a fan started up with a noise like a rocket and was still running when I left the room at 9am. And more clumping from above. No way I could get back to sleep. Dreadful night. They couldn't move me for the second night (hotel was full) which fortunately was less noisy.

Hotel needs a full refurbishment and better maintenance
Pros:

I really don’t understand the recent good reviews. Staff is nice and area is convenient. I had to stay there a few times for work and every time room was cold, very noisy radiator, black mould and dust on walls in the bedroom (room on top floor) and in the bathroom.
They are currently refurbishing the elevator but should really refurbish the whole place!
Very disappointed, usually premier inn are better than this.

Does exactly what it says on the tin - excellent!
Pros:

One of the reasons I book with Premier Inn is that I really like to know what I am getting! This one is no exception - as always, it's very good value for money. As an added bonus, it's well set back from the road so it's blissfully quiet at night. We stayed for 3 nights - Suzanne was on reception for part of our stay and is such a lovely welcoming person. Breakfast was a particular highlight - efficient, friendly smiley service and a delicious selection. We would certainly stay again and are happy to recommend it.

Pros:

Staff pleasant on arrival, changed room for disabled room on groundfloor as lift was broken and no other rooms available.
Room had mushrooms growing in it at 2 walls.
Breakfast - sausages were cremated burnt black, mushrooms cold and black pudding greasy.
Vending machine in lobby of hotel was out of order.
Will not be back.

Noisy neighbours!
Pros:

I've stayed here many times. It's a great location for Glasgow and the countryside around. It's always comfortable. The staff are always helpful. Unfortunately the guests above my room were very noisy on 2 of my 3 nights. Hard to understand how people can be so inconsiderate.

Perfect Stay for a Business Trip
Pros:

I stayed at the Premier Inn Glasgow Bearsden while on a business trip and it was exactly what I needed after a long day. The location is great, the staff are friendly and welcoming and having a pub right next door made it easy to relax in the evening. Comfortable, convenient, and excellent value, I’d happily stay again.

Noisy neighbours!!! Comfortable room.
Pros:

I've stayed at The Premier Inn, Bearsden many times. I've always been comfortable and the staff are always friendly and attentive. This visit was no exception.
On 2 of my 3 nights' stay, however, the guests in the room above were very noisy. Thumping loudly until 1am. It's so inconsiderate. The staff apologised but I suppose there's not much they can do at one o'clock in the morning.

I agree the brambles and plants are overspilling onto the paths and stairs outside. They need trimming back ASAP.

Pros:

The photos did not match the property; the image used is of a restaurant in front of it. This was a regular city motel that was a bit old and dirty.

Pros:

I was extremely disappointed in our stay at the Premier Inn Bearsden.The property is very much in need of a total revamp .Both the outside and inside was very poorly maintained.Our toilet was leaking and the room smelt damp .It felt more like a hostel ,I don’t consider the price reflects this.The staff were unengaging and the whole place was to be honest depressing .

Premier Inn - not value for money
Pros:

The first impression outside was poor - lots of overgrown shrubbery, many weeds, grubby steps from car park. The room was comfortable but needed a refurb - ie scuff marks on walls & ceiling, black mould around bath, scratches on bathroom mirror. It cost £324 for 2 nights, plus breakfast was £10.99 if required. Would not stay there again for that price.

Overpriced for What It Is
Pros:

3-star review:

Decent enough stay for one night, but definitely overpriced at £147?for a standard double on a rainy Saturday in Glasgow. I didn’t shop around before booking, but after I did, I saw Radisson Blu was only £180 and looked miles better. This place feels more like an £80 hotel.

Room was a good size and mostly clean. But the bathroom fan got really loud after a few minutes, constantly changing tone like a dodgy old jeep — pretty annoying. Shower head was leaking water upwards somehow, spraying over the curtain rail and hitting the bathroom door and wall. By the end, the floor was soaked like a mini swimming pool. Ended up using all the towels and bath mat to dry it.

Not a holiday trip or anything, just a short city visit — but next time I’d probably go elsewhere for the price.

Pleasant stay
Pros:

Pleasant comfortable bed in airy room. The pillows could be improved to match quality of mattress.
Very pleasant staff.
However, we arrived 1 hour early and would have had to pay £15.00 to get into room then.
We waited.
Couldn't really fault it in any other way

A night away
Pros:

Checked in just after 3pm and the man on reception gave us exemplary service. Went to room 119 on the first floor and ot was spotless. Had dinner at the local pub restaurant. Had the best night's sleep I've had in a long time as did my husband. It was perfect. The breakfast room was rather small but was fine. Cooked to perfection 👌 and staff again were exemplary. Thanks for a wonderful experience with yourselves, will definitely be booking again.

Comfortable Convenient Hotel
Pros:

We stayed at the Bearsden Premier Inn before starting the West Highland Way. It's a lovely hotel, very comfortable. We had a spacious room with ensuite including a bath. Good self service breakfast. The Burnbrae Pub & Restaurant next door is very good for dinner. It's an easy walk, less than a mile, to the start of the West Highland Way (passing several shops to buy your sandwiches). Early check in cost £15. Our bags had to be ready for 8.00am for onward transfer (only if you're doing the West Highland Way)

Great hotel
Pros:

Lovely room with a really comfy bed. Slight drawback was, I had paid for early check-in and when I got there the receptionist said “oh I’m not sure your room is ready yet!!!!”
Not the staff’s fault as it was clearly understaffed, so much so the receptionist was having to run up & down the stairs as she was cleaning the rooms too.
