This hotel is very clean, well presented and a great location if you're going to the SECC as its practically in the car park!
The restaurant is quite pricy but the food and service were excellent.
The rooms are nice but a bit on the small side. We had a river view which was great and the CD player is a nice touch.
Very good hotel with some great deals available through the city inn website.

We stayed at the City Inn for one night and enjoyed the best dinner and breakfast I have experienced in any hotel in Glasgow. City Inn are able to provide a fabulous mix of luxury and excellence at affordable prices. I was delighted to be able to get the best price available from the hotel direct rather than having to book through an agent.
The room was spotless and really well kept.I loved the CD players , the flat screen TV and the showers were amazing. I thought the hotel was new but they have been open for over 5 years. Ok the area isnt the best but having stayed in many other hotels in Glasgow City Inn is definitely not in the red light district.
Dinner was fantastic - we had initially booked another restaurant in the centre and changed our minds when we saw the menu. The atmosphere was fab - and the views over the Clyde ( if you ignore the building site across the way !) I loved the peace and quiet of it all.
The staff were pleasant, although a little harassed but nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome.
I cant wait for my next visit in January - we have already booked up for a shopping weekend.!

For the business traveler in the UK, this hotel in Scotland can appear a slick, well run establishment with clean decor, excellent internet services, and a number of features we have not come across at other hotels in the UK (e.g., in-room DVD player with selection of DVDs at the front desk, corporate membership at Greens Health Club, a short walk away). But if you are one of many travellers who need to stay more than a day or two (as we were), the City Inn's weaknesses come glaringly to light. The concierge was constantly absent and there is no disabled access from the street, meaning you have to lift your bags up or down the stairs. The hotel is quite isolated from restaurants, pharmacies, and city nightlife. Yet it is close to the Scottish Exhibition Centre, which meant that our first night was characterized by loud, drunken crowds of young people who had attended a rock concert there and chosen to carry on the party at our hotel (one assumes they were paying guests); there was also a fire drill the same night (coincidence?). The hours of the restaurant were not posted anywhere, and even the staff appeared to have trouble answering this question. Moreover, the cleaning staff did little more than empty the bins and pull up the comforter each day, requiring us (among other things) to call down for the correct number of towels twice. Lastly, the rooms are tiny, have next to no storage facilities (exactly ONE drawer in the whole room), and were very stuffy unless the window was kept open constantly (impossible since there is heavy construction going on directly across the river). A place we will never return to.

Me and 3 friends were going a night out in Glasgow and were looking for a good value hotel within a decent location. I am a travel agent so we got a good rate.

We arrived about dinner time and first impressions were that it was nice but reception area seemed a bit small. We checked in with no hassel and staff were very friendly. Got to our room - it was great! We had 2 rooms for the 4 of us. We got a river facing view at no extra charge and the view was great with the massive floor to ceiling windows, only downfall that was Scotland in November.... well its gonna be cold! It made it a bit drafty, closing the curtains helped but I still had cold feet. It had all mod cons inc DVD player, flat screen TV with satalite and a CD Player. It was furnished nicely with enough plug sockets for us to get ready and still listen to music, had a little table and a couple of chairs which made the room look smaller but were handy for room service and wine ;o) There was a massive big bed (a little hard but still comfortable) and a desk. The bathroom was spotless and the shower was great, the mistfree mirror was a godsend! There was also bathrobes in the wardrobes, lovely clean and soft, it was great!

We didnt get our breakfast at the hotel but we did order room service before we went out. 2 small ceaser salads with parma ham, 2 portions of chips a quite big panini and a packed chicken wrap. This cost £26.00 so not too bad as we would have spent more going to a restaurant, the food was lovely.

Hotel phoned us a taxi, location was a little out but walkable in the summer. We left our keycard thingy in the room and staff were very friendly when we explained when we arrived back after our night out (blind drunk and they still put up with us!) They issued us with a new one so there was no real fuss.

Overall I really liked this hotel, the staff, cleanliness and comforts were great and the location (esp for people that are maybe hiring a car or going to the SECC) is pretty good. If you do go I'm sure you'll have a fantastic stay!
