I stayed at the City Inn for a week on business and was really impressed. This hotel seems to be aimed towards people on business rather than tourists and having that in mind, it's a great place. The lobby/reception is small but very efficient. It's modern and bright and leads on to a fairly small bar and a lovely restaurant. The public areas don;t need to be huge, as the areas are well designed.
The rooms are compact but well set out with everything you could want for your stay. The decor is bright and fresh and my room had a huge window overlooking the river, which i really liked. Instead of an old dusty telly, i had a new iMac, meaning not only did i have a wide range of channels, but also the internet and all the facilities you get with a state of the art bit of kit like an that. Fantastic!! I had brought my laptop and didn't even take it out of my case. All free too- no extra costs for WiFi. I had a great shower (no bath) which suited me fine, a good hair dryer, nice glasses (not just the little things you usually get in a bathroom) decent fridge and wait for it-REAL MILK! Nothing worse than those little cartons of milk-like stuff in most hotels. Good coffee and a selection of teas. That made a real difference to me, as daft as it sounds. Gave a much homier feel than hotels usually have.
The restaurant and breakfast was excellent. I only ate in the restaurant for one evening, but had a lovely meal. However, the breakfast was top rate and i enjoyed that everyday. A great selection and perfectly cooked.
The staff at the City Inn are a credit. Every single person i met there was polite, genuinely friendly and very professional.
I'd only suggest very minor changes to the City Inn: an ice machine perhaps- i had to call room service every night and felt a little mean for it, even thought they insisted it was no problem. Also, the toiletries (shampoo etc) were a little less impressive than everything else. I'm being really picky, because i really was impressed by the hotel and when i come back to Glasgow next time, I'll make sure i get to stay there again.

We used this Hotel as we were attending an event at the adjacent Exhibition Venue. We booked through a Travel Agent as this was one of the closest hotels so we weren't really sure what to expect for what we had paid. We were actually suprised by how close the Hotel was. When we stayed we were both very surprised by the high general standard on offer and how pleasant the staff were - its always good to see a smiling face when you have been travelling for a while and the friendly receptionist made us feel very welcome when we eventually got in. I'd heard the scots were good for a bit of banter!

I had never heard of City Inn before, but if Glasgow is anything to go by I would recommend them to anyone. Nice, clean and modern. Breakfast was great too - much more than your normal bog standard stuff!! God knows we needed something to perk us up before we faced the drive again!

Stayed at the City Inn, for concert we had booked at SECC, reviews showed SECC was not that far away, boy were they rite. Took a taxi from train station to hotel, approx £6.00. At the hotel we were very impressed, nice modern decor, friendly staff, excellent location for SECC. Literally 10 mins walk away. Definitely recommended and wll certainly stay again if we were to go to another concert at SECC

Hadnt heard of City Inn Hotels before I had stayed, what a great find this hotel was, great beds, a proper power shower, an apple i mac in modern styl;sih bedroom which had the TV, DVD, CD player and free wifi access!!! yes free!, unlike my stays at other major hotel brands in this city where they charge £10-£15 extra!

Had an impressive dinner in their restaurant City Cafe over looking the river, brilliant wine list, staff very courtesous and a real good buzz and atmosphere in the place, a hard find in norm hotel food outlets!!

Tis hotel is modern, great bedrooms and facilites, lots of big windows and daylight as well as staff with personaility, yeah true hospitality! Break away from the big chains and give these guys a go!

My second stay at the City Inn, again really pleased with the accommodation. You have to get a taxi anywhere, but it wasn't a problem as I was on business.

Nice, clean, modern and plenty of facilities. Everything you could want for and more like free Internet.

Would certainly recommend this for a business stay or if you don't want to be in the centre of Glasgow!
