Glasgow Hotel Suggestions?

My husband and I will be in Glasgow for the last night of a 10 day trip through Scotland and London. I am looking for a suggestion for a hotel in Glasgow. Centrally located would be great so that we can easily walk to sights during our short stay there. <BR> <BR>As an aside, I used this forum as my travel agent last year when planning a 6 week European trip. Such wonderful suggestions and comments. <BR> <BR>Thanks for the help

You could try the Malmaison hotel, which is more of a boutique hotel. It has rooms costing £99 or less, perhaps £75, which I think includes breakfast. The one in Edinburgh is lovely, as is the one in Manchester. Rooms are very elegant and modern and have C D players, computer points etc. Stylish and central.

OK 2 Suggestions (and this is the fourth attempt at posting-hope it works this time) <BR> <BR>Cheap and cheerful the Holiday Inn Express very central and about £40 per person per night) <BR> <BR>Or Adelaide's Guest House in Bath Street. About the same price and highly recommended. I did have the pone number when I tried to post from home last night, but I don't have it here. let me know if you are interested and need it. <BR>

Dear MWW, <BR> <BR>I live in Glasgow. <BR>The Holiday Inn Express ( Stockwell Street) is quite new and is in a great location on the edge of the River Clyde, <BR>ten minutes walk to George Square and even less to the main shopping areas. <BR>You might also try another Holiday Inn Express ( 165 West Nile Street ) . <BR>This is also very well located near to the Royal Concert Hall as well as still being only ten minutes from George Square & shopping. <BR>The Malmaison is more upmarket, as is the Arthouse Hotel in Bath Street which is another more expensive 'boutique' style hotel. <BR>You might also try the Jarvis Ingram Hotel in Ingram Street. Very centrally located, on the doorstep of everything Glasgow has to offer. <BR>By the way, if you enjoy real Italian food , pop into Sarti in Bath Street if you have the time. Reserve a table for dinner after 8..it can be busy....not expensive. <BR>Also, try not to miss Princess Square in Buchanan Street ( City Centre ). Lovely indoor designer mall with upscale shops & eateries. Enjoy your stay.

Hi, <BR>I'd appreciate the phone number or e-mail, if available, for Adelaide's Guest House. My daughter is in Glasgow for a year with a flat on Fairley Park Drive. How far away is the Bath Street area, or the Malmaison? It also sounds nice. <BR>Thanks! <BR>

Fairley Park Drive is in Partick, 3 miles west of the city centre. <BR>All the places in the posts so far are in the city centre. <BR>You are 3 minutes walk from Partick Underground station (fast & frequent to city) or 2 minutes from Dumbarton Road, where there are lots of buses. <BR> There are plenty of nearer hotels & guesthouses in the West End. (eg Pond Hotel - here's a site you can search by preferences http://www.holiday.scotland.net/accommodation/index.htm ) <BR>don't know if Adelaide's is there. <BR> The city is so easy by Underground you may as well stay there, though there are interesting parts in the West End : kelvingrove park,Glasgow university & the Kelvin Hall.This area is the bohemian part of Glasgow & has the best delicatessins.
