I stayed in this hotel for one night during a business trip to Glasgow.

The hotel is in the very heart of Glasgow and ideally located for shopping and the train station.

The rooms are basic although clean and comfortable. My room was on the third floor facing the train platforms. There was no blind so train passengers could see into my room without the curtains drawn. There are no frills about the room, no free soaps/ shampoos, no biscuits with the coffee etc. A small point but this makes a difference.

Wifi Internet access was available – but at a charge.

The bar was OK staffed by eastern Europeans, but costly compared to all the bars nearby. We ate in the A-la-carte restaurant and were not impressed with the quality of the food although the service was excellent. Breakfast was better with a wide choice of hot and cold food from a buffet.

I used the car park opposite (Thistle) in Jamaica Street. It would normally be ten pounds for 24 hours, but if you have reception validate your ticket when you leave it reduces to six pounds.

Overall it is a clean efficient hotel, but only offers basic accommodation.

I have to be honest and say that I never particularly look forward to my visits to Glasgow and in fact despite the extra travel I usually opt to stay in Edinburgh if I can, however on this occasion I was pleasantly surprised with the Jurys Inn Glasgow.

Finding the hotel is very easy as it's only a few hundred yards from Glasgow Central train station. The walk to the hotel is not too bad although the hotal is not too bad although the immediate area surrounding it is a bit ropey, but then Glasgow is very patchy like that.

Check in was very fast and my room was easy to locate.

The room was on the 6th floor which meant most of the street noise was inaudible. The room had 2 beds (a single and a double) both of which were very comfortable. The room had air con, a TV and hairdryer but no safe. The room was clean and tidy and the bathroom was all in order too.

The hotel is not remarkable but was alot better than I was expecting for such a low room rate.

Great location, very clean and well maintained. Just minutes from the shops. Well worth the money in fact i would have expected to pay more. The girls in the bar let it down a bit as they didnt seem very helpfull and gave out warm drinks in hot glasses, other than that a top hotel.

The hotel is in an ideal location for the centre of Glasgow, shops and the station.

The room was very clean and had all of the necessary facilities. My room was on the 5th floor and directly overlooked the station platform – it was infact so close I believe I could have shouted a conversation to the platforms! However absolutely no noise could be heard from the station.

Breakfast was a buffet style of hot and cold foot with plenty of choice available.

At night the location was probably not idea, although I didn’t have any issues.

I travel to Glasgow and have stayed at better hotels, this is for a number of reasons, but especially for the cost, however this may be because I have become too fussy!!!

It is worth a stay.
