Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel
The hotel was perfect for what we needed. We attended a concert in Oran Mor which is right across the road from the hotel. So the stay suited our needs. Our second stay I. The hotel and it won't be our last.

Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End
Staff were very helpful and keen to serve us. The two guys who looked after us went above and beyond. When I asked about leaving a gratuity on the card payment they advised it will take some time for them to see any of it. Is that correct?

Crowne Plaza Hotel Glasgow by IHG
Hotel great, breakfast wonderful. Staff super. Only thing I would mention was bed headboard a bit worn, not sure where to plug kettle in ans plugs under room desk and the heating was cold (two nights we stayed it was cold overnight). Minor issues for our stay but noticeable.
