Terrible manager with Terrible attitude.
Pros:

Once again I have write another bad review about this hotel. This is second time I have been really badly treated here. So it isnt just a coincidence. We were trying to book in on Saturday night but the staff were telling us we were booked into the Premier inn at St Enochs. This reference number had already seen the rest of our party get their rooms. But we were assured that we were booked into St Enochs. So we got a taxi to the other hotel, only to be told that we were definitely booked into the Gorbals branch. So got a taxi back and again the same outcome. Obviously by this stage we were quite annoyed. So now comes along the manager, who from the outset had a terrible attitude. It ended up with him refusing us into the hotel, as he was offended.
So do yourself a favour and stay well clear of this branch of the Premier inn. By the way, the lady dealing with us at St Enoch's branch, was excellent.

Short break in Glasgow
Pros:

This hotel is convenient as it is approximately 15 mins walk from the city centre. It has excellent parking which costs £9 a day, but that's par for the course nowadays. The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of room. We did have an evening meal but breakfast was good with plenty of choice. We would definitely stop there again.

Great room, awful customer service
Pros:

Room was great, customer service was less than average.
No one looked like they wanted to be there. Not helpful at all and didn’t even smile at you when you walk into the hotel! Not helpful whatsoever and were rude.

Overnight and breakfast
Pros:

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a really nice experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a short stay. I also opted for breakfast and was a good start to the day, plenty of choice and everything tasted fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Overall, a solid and pleasant stay. Would happily book again.

Cleanliness issues and insect found during stay
Pros:

I stayed at the Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre South for 3 nights. Unfortunately, I found an insect on my bed on the second night, which could possibly have been a bedbug (photo attached). There was no suitable alternative room available at the time, but the team was very friendly and provided fresh bed linen.
Overall cleanliness was below expectations.
Staff throughout my stay were kind and helpful, but the cleanliness issues and the incident significantly affected the quality of my stay.

Would go back
Pros:

Great location for access to city centre, transport links and supermarket just round the corner.
Friendly staff team, quick and easy check in - also plenty of car parking.

Average for a premier inn
Pros:

Hotel is nice and close to glasgow centre , but you have to pay for parking £9 guest rate for 24 hours should be included in price of stay to be honest ?? Operated by horizon parking , plenty of spaces available but no security on either entering or leaving , so what is the payment for ?????

Room was nice and clean with comfy beds . Had to ask for extra towels and pillows but that wasnt a problem
Very quiet room to be fair was facing busy road but didnt hear any noise and the blackout curtains made a huge difference

Very major negative about this hotel is the breakfast bar . Mega small for the size of hotel. Had to queue in morning for a table for family of 4 and 1 of the mornings had to have 2 seperate tables
Also food dishes empty most of time. Constantly had 2 ask if there was any more food available , bacon eggs etc .
No clean cups avaulable again had to ask for some
Not enough choce on the continental side of the breakfast. Just croissants and nothing else

Overall wouldnt stop here again due to parking costs and especislly the fiasco at breakfast times

Felt sorry for the staff in running around non stop
Simply not enough staff for the size of hotel

Plus is Plus
Pros:

The new Premier Plus rooms are a step above the older style. Fresh feeling and loved the wireless charger beside the bed. But the small other extras like a coffee machine and fridge make such a big difference

Premier Inn, Glasgow South
Pros:

I was very impressed with this Premier Inn. The staff on reception were great, very helpful, the room was spacious, clean, at the front but there was no road noise. The bathroom was also large and clean, everything there that we needed. Accommodation very reasonably priced.
We also ate in the restaurant, these can sometimes be hit and miss, however, this one was excellent. Very good food, the staff were friendly and attentive, spotted when my drink was finished and asked if I wanted another (this always gains brownie points for the staff). Great value, we had the evening "meal deal".
The only bad point was that the beer choice was poor, no real ale, the nearest to it was Doombar that I don't rate at all. The Guiness was good though and the man who poured it knew how to do it properly!
So, full marks to Premier Inn, breakfast thrown in as well, I will be back here!

Excellant Stay
Pros:

Everything went perfect for the weekend. Food at Breakfast and Evening Meal was worth the combined offer, Wife did make comment about not enough choice on the Continental side but cooked breakfast is good.

Clean and comfortable
Pros:

Room was very basic but clean . Not much space for hanging clothes . No drawers to put underwear ect or storing t shirts . Ok for couple days as didn’t have a lot of clothes with us
Bathroom very nice and spotless
We had meal deal which we thought was a good price
Went for evening meal lots on menu no longer available so we felt limited to what we could choose . We had starter main and desert
Starter of soup and prawn cocktail took 40 minutes to arrive .. Steak pie was burnt on top but my hubby said filling was nice
I had scampi it was nice
Breakfast however was a let down we went at 8 thinking food would be hot and fresh and although fresh it was Luke warm mushrooms and tomato were tasteless and cold . Real let down .
The staff were really nice and helpful and friendly
I would stay again but just not have the food
