What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express - Glasgow - City Ctr Theatreland by IHG, guests highlight the central location by Buchanan Bus Station, consistently friendly staff, clean comfortable rooms, and an included breakfast many find generous for a simple, good-value city stay.

Common downsides include compact rooms, particularly when sofa beds are opened, and the lack of air conditioning which can leave some spaces warm or stuffy. Street, subway or construction noise affects certain rooms, though many report quiet stays; views are often limited. The breakfast area can get crowded at peak times, and drivers use discounted parking in the garage across the road with occasional access disruption from roadworks. Expect a straightforward base with welcoming service and solid value.

Excellent hotel, very clean and disabled friendly.the rooms are perfect,very comfortable beds and love the dove bodywash/handwash,really nice touch . All staff were extremely polite & very helpful. Car park is directly opposite the hotel. Shops are close by, all down hill. Many restaurants very close by. The only downside was the roadworks all around the building. But on the upside ,you don’t hear anything inside the rooms, they are pretty much soundproof,whoop whoop

The room is apparently clean, especially the sheets and towels. But the rest of the room is very dusty, and the carpet is truly disgusting. It's impossible to be without shoes. Upon checking out, I received an intimidating response that I couldn't leave any bags because they didn't have space. However, while I sat down to write to customer service, other guests were coming to collect their bags, and they still hadn't accepted mine. I had to stay on-site to see if a manager could help. And nothing. Everyone is on vacation, and they left the receptionist, Janina, in charge. I think she's limiting her efforts, and I paid the cost of that.

The staff where very nice and helpful. I think there was some work getting done (would like to hope so) as both days there where buckets in the breakfast room as the ceiling was leaking. The room was quiet and nice, but obviously wasn’t a room that has been stayed in, in a while as the dust was wild. Also the mattress was the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on having back issues and also having give birth 3months ago my back is bad but this made it a million times worse, my Mum said the same both nights we slept terribly due to this.

Hotel was in an ideal city centre location. Room was small but clean and up to date. We had no view and from early on until late at night there was a rumbling noise every 5-10minutes. (Like someone putting big bins out) you eventually get used to it. Beds were comfy. All staff were really friendly especially at check in (Stephanie?) We have a disabled little boy so parking across the road was expensive for us as wd needed to use the car to get places rather than buses or public transport (but that was on us when booking)

Location is great, breakfast was great, service was great but the room was so small. We had a family room with a sofa bed and a full sized bed. We also had a double buggy for a 3 year old and a 6 month old. We had myself who is disabled and my daughter who is mother of the children. Even when the sofa bed was folded there was just no room to get around. I struggled with my walking stick and my 3 year old grandson bumped his head often while playing due to the height of the facings. I genuinely believe the rooms are suitable for adults only and I don’t think sofa beds should be squeezed in as the rooms are small enough.

Because the storage room was full, they asked us to wait a short time and they got our rooms ready and checked us in early. Also their maintenance person fixed my husband’s water holder on his walker for him. The hotel was only a half block away from the bus station which was where we needed to be for the bus to Fort William. Restaurants are very close by.

Another fantastic stay at this hotel. We've stayed here a few times now when we've had early travel plans from the bus or train stations in Glasgow. The rooms are comfortable, surprisingly spacious, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is included and has all the usual staples you'd expect from a breakfast buffet. We also had time to relax in the bar area, which is comfortable and well-stocked, and affords a good bit of people-watching from the big glass windows! Ever member of staff we encountered was friendly and welcoming and we had excellent service throughout our stay. The location is perfect if you're planning to explore Glasgow city centre.

For my friend and I travelling, being close to the bus station was imperative. Not all places near a bus station are nice. Yours was excellent. Your best asset is your staff. I stayed for 3 days, left to travel in the country for 5 days and then came back and stayed another night. That gave me the opportunity to meet many staff of different shifts and they were all amazing. You are lucky to have these people represent your hotel.

Decent stay, close to the city centre and close to the station. Good price quality point but one disappointing note was the breakfast. Very limited option, low quality and a few staples missing - eg no milk alternatives (who doesn’t offer Oat milk in 2025?), coffee was undrinkable and beyond eggs, beans on toast and sausages, empty croissants, bread, butter and frozen fruit, there was really not much else to eat

The only let down was the breakfast. I know every establishment is needing to cut costs where they can but the food was poor quality. Hot and plentiful but didnt taste good. It wouldn't stop me returning though as a brilliant central location. There is a multi-storey car park across the road and you get reduced parking costs by getting your ticket stamped at the hotel receiption.
