Glasgow for a day

We are currently in Glasgow. A great little city and now we wish we had more time to explore. We are at the Glasgow Science Center and we will be going to see a street festival and the Tall Ships.
We will post pictures when we have a chance.....

And almost two weeks later, we're back to Glasgow, only by photo of course!

Ok, so we had two nights, or a day and a half in Glasgow, before heading on to Belfast. The first night, we arrived from Edinburgh (4 hour train ride) at ar...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport

Won't stay here again

from jetman
There is little to no parking on the hotel grounds - be prepared to park at the airport. The check-in process at this hotel took about 25 minutes, and the desk help seemed to be new at their jobs, or ambivalent. Or both.

The rooms were fine - typical of the UK. However, you can get the same room across the motorway for half the price at the Premier Travel Inn.

The bar was crowded and noisy. The two man band/karaoke guys were terrible.

Breakfast was the show stopper though. I had a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee from the buffet. They only have one charge option, though, so they charged me 15 pounds for a cereal and coffee. I tried to complain at checkout, but the same two morons from the night before were still at the dsk and were incapable of helping.

Excellent airport location

from viccity
Stayed at this hotel the last night prior to returning home to Canada. The location across from the airport was excellent - 33 steps and you were in the terminal building. The car rental return was just across the street. As mentioned by others the car park has very limited parking space so this could be a problem if you have a car. I was a bit apprehensive about the rooms being noisy as the hotel is so close to the airport but the building is well built and you couldn't hear any aircraft noise. The rooms are on the small side but very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spotless. Neutrogena toiletries were provided as well as bath robes, slippers, hairdryer and a trouser press. There is a complimentary shuttle bus to the nearest shopping centre as well as downtown Glasgow. The driver was very courteous and friendly. We didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food although we were provided a discount ticket for breakfast when we checked in. I would definitely stay again if flying out of Glasgow.

Dreadful airport hotel

from proudofscotland
Very tired decor and peeling wallpaper. Dirty and rooms small. Restaurant was an absolute joke - my daughters food was uncooked and inedible. The waitress agreed and I was refunded.

Only stay here if you need an early flight - excellent location across from terminal.

Good location for airport

Extremely nice, modern & clean.

from A TripAdvisor Member
We were accommodated here when US Airways cancelled our flight, so we were not in the best of moods; but this hotel raised our spirits. The room was clean and bright with a view, with a spotless white tile bathroom. The AC actually cooled even though it was autumn. We were wary of the group style meals the airline provided, but both lunch and dinner were delicious, with several choices. The regular breakfast buffet we were allowed was excellent and varied. This actually turned out to be one of the better hotels on our very enjoyable Scotland tour. We took the convenient local bus into nearby Paisley for some last minute pub crawling. By the way, this was the regular Holiday Inn, not the nearby H.I. Express.

Holiday Inn glasgow airport

from MandyMcD
Worst airport hotel I've ever stayed in. Bathroom ceiling was flaking, mould under the bath mat and around the bath edge. Room was very small and I was glad I was only staying 1 night.

Big queue at reception to check in. Check-in staff were friendly and professional however I wouldn't stay here again given a choice.

The car park at the front of the hotel is very small and people were parking all over the place.

It was expensive too - not to usual Holiday inn standards in my opinion.

Perfect Airport Location

from A TripAdvisor Member
Clean and classic, this hotel was not meant to be charming but rather, convenient. It certainly was that. We booked this hotel for the last night of our vacation, and paid just a song for a huge family room with one full bath and one half bath. High quality bed linens, excellent mattresses, and Neutrogena toiletries gave it an extra touch. It was utterly spotless. After two weeks on the road, it felt like heaven, and we saved enough on our car rental to cover the cost. The air conditioning was fully adjustable, and when cranked up, it could have frozen ice cubes. (And don't let anyone convince you it doesn't get hot in Scotland.) The restaurant service was stellar, the food not bad. Our rooms were soothing and soundproof, though the terminal is literally across the street. The rooms were also a decent size -- your typical Holiday Inn. Checking in at the airport is a breeze, and so much less stressful than fighting traffic. The front staff was a little cool, but very competent. Budget Rent-a-Car was literally next door, the others just a few steps away. For a great airport location, I can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

Nice

from A TripAdvisor Member
Nice room staff very nice, convenient to airport. Food was okay but over priced.

Average

from Away-in-Eire
Well maybe I got the worst room in the place because my opinion of the hotel differs a bit from the previous reviewer's. The hotel itself is extremely convenient to the airport and the free coaches into the city.

Cross the street and you're there.

HOWEVER... the parking lot was under some kind of construction and we never did find our way in. We simply returned the rental car and the car hire company dropped us off at the hotel. The building was overflowing with people, mostly business, the day I was there. That meant lines. In fact, I rang the front desk three times without getting an answer. I finally gave up. Visitors can expect to wait in line here and there. I'm a Priority Club member and I'm used to getting a little extra at Holiday Inns because of it. I really didn't feel all that "special" in this Holiday Inn even though my reservation was made nearly 6 months ago. No express checkout, no morning paper, nothing.

When we saw the line for breakfast, we simply left.

I did not find the hotel overly clean and our room was small with a heavily used appearance. The bathroom (which I did not find as large as the previous reviewer) did appear to be fairly clean and was well stocked with towels. The entire first floor lobby, restaurant, bar, lounges, etc. were horribly smoky at all hours. The food in both the bar and restaurant weren't all that great.

I would say that if you are looking for convenience to the airport, this is certainly the best choice. However, if you are just arriving in Glasgow for a vacation, there would be much better choices. I would stay there again for my last night in Glasgow because of the convenience to the airport. But I would not have any expectations other than a bed and a shower.

Just perfect

from A TripAdvisor Member
We chose this hotel as a convenience in order to fly out on an early flight the next morning. It was very inexpensive and right at the airport so I was surprised at how great everything was. It is a very busy hotel full of business people, airline employees, vacationers and locals. Our room was perfect, clean, desk, hairdryer, big bathroom. The restaurant, on the night we were there, was a set menu, not ala cart. So we decided to eat in the pub where they had a large selection of sandwiches. Then at 9pm a local entertainer got on stage and sang some great songs. This was a perfect surprise after a long day's drive and before a good night's sleep.
