We went to the City Inn for our Wedding Anniversary. We did get a deal, just by asking for the best rates when we phoned!

We visit Glasgow at least once a year and have eaten in the retaurant before, we also use the one in Birmingham, so knew what to expect, and loved it. The service, from the time we arrived to the time we checked out was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and the guy on reception was extremely helpful and had a great sense of humour!

The room was very clean, we had a view of the Clyde, which we loved, and there was a free car park, we couldn't believe our luck.

Unlike other reviewers we DID walk home late evening, and sorry but we didn't notice the "red light" area and felt quite safe, although we would not have walked any great distance very late at night, whether on holiday or business, you don't do you?

Couldn't fault the place and we had the 5 star Glasgow Hilton to compare it with, believe me the food at City Cafe beats the Hilton hands down!

We enjoyed our two night stay at the City Inn.

Arriving by car, it was easy to find as it's right before the well sign posted SECC and had a large free car park. It's a smallish looking grey hotel right under the arm or a very large unused dock crane

The check in was faultless, we'd arrived a bit early and had to wait a little while but were given free coffe and vouchers for free wine in the restaurant.

The rooms were a little small but were clean and well appointed. I appreciated the free internet access in the rooms.

The location suited us, we had our car nearby if needed and we bought a two day city bus tour ticket, and one of the stops was right opposite the hotel. It was also quiet at night and I could get a good night's sleep, unlike in some city centre hotels.

The one thing that let the hotel down for me was the restaurant - I hate nouvelle cuisine. Give me decent portions of good food anyday

Excellent location by the river. Outside seating area. Rooms very clean and house & reception staff very helpful. Service in the Bar area around 4pm was nothing short of pathetic. There was enough staff working (2) to serve those around, but they were very very slow, then they charged very high prices. We would probably have been cheaper and quicker walking into town. It put us off returning to the hotel at night for a night cap. Overall: Initially had problem booking through the internet and seemed to accidently book the room three times. I managed to cancel two though, and the hotel very promptly confirmed I still had the one booking by email. Distance from town was further than we realised, and we were told by the taxi driver not to walk home, as the area was a red light area and very bad for muggings. Maybe others should be made aware of this, or like other hotels I have visited, have a courtesy mini bus to Town, rail station and airport.

Thoroughly modern hotel right near the SCC on the quayside and barely minutes (by car) from "downtown" Glasgow.

The staff were efficient, helpful and very pleasant. Didn't eat there, so no idea what the food was like. Parking is easy and free (good!)

Some reviewers have complained that the room was small. They're right in that it is a bit tight (no bath tub -only a shower), but it was fresh, clean, modern with an LCD TV and DVD player.

All in all, this was JUST what I wanted - a clean, modern room, in town at a great price. This place really delivered!
