Stayed here for 3 nights while attending Celtic Connections. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was excellent with a good variety of choices. All the staff were genuinely very friendly and helpful. Ourt stay included a Friday night and our room overlooked the main street and we didn't hear any noise. The location is fab, minutes walk from... More

The overall impression of the... More

There's been a lot of bad reviews of this hotel, however, bear in mind that I paid £24 for a single room, so I wasn't expecting the Dorchester. Most of the time, you get for what you pay for, and in the case of the Merchant City Inn, it delivers great value. The hotel is a very old building in... More

I was in room 101 which backs on to The Polo Lounge nightclub. The noise from the club and the people in the street was so bad I had absolutely no sleep. There were people against the 2 bedroom windows until 5.20 am. I asked to be moved 3 times was told there were other rooms but the noise would... More

I can quite honestly say I have never in all my years travelling and staying in hotels either for business or pleasure been spoken to,swore at, and quite frankly treated like something the 'height restricted' night receptionist had just stood on because I wanted to park my car for 2 minutes to grab something from the room. I normally stay... More

I've visited Glasgow several times and usually it involves some shopping, sightseeing and a little night life. As in any city center, hotels are not usually that cheap compared with those a little further out, so when I saw the location and the price of the Merchant City inn, I wasn't expecting much. How wrong could I be?! The location... More

If your on holiday, business or romance, avoid. This is smack bang in the middle of Glasgow's nightlife, and if you want to sleep in your room, this is just no the hotel for you. If your going out on the binge in Glasgow, this is excactly the hotel you want! More

The hotel was booked as a last minute business trip, on the whole the room was of a poor standard, but I wasn't really expecting much in the way of luxury for £50.00. Nothing prepared me for the onslaught of noise commencing after 11pm from the night club across the street. It wasn't the constant BPM, but just under my... More
