What guests think

Holiday Inn Express - Glasgow Airport by IHG is widely praised for its walkable location next to the terminal, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms, making it a practical stop for late arrivals, early flights, or quick layovers.

Breakfast is generally appreciated, with an early continental option, while evening dining is more mixed, with limited menus, slow service at times, and prices some find high. Rooms are comfortable and quiet for an airport setting, but many note they are compact for families, and some report HVAC noise or heating issues, occasional maintenance glitches, or sofa beds that feel worn. The covered walkway makes access easy, though signage can be confusing and on site parking carries a fee. Overall, expect a convenient, no frills airport stay focused on location and efficiency.

walkable to the airport. Should try and keep families and children to one floor, difficult to sleep even in a requested quiet area. More menu options would also be nice. Bar staff very friendly, check in was ok, person pleasant but couldn't find my reservation. Having only one lift functional was very inconvenient, had to wait more than 5 minutes to even get on as small and with cases couldn't get on due to multiple people checking in and out at the same time. over all its convenience and closeness to the airport was the reason for booking

The hotel is used almost exclusively by travellers going on or returning from holiday. Despite this, there was 1 very slow barman running the bar. It took ages to get served but when you ordered food, the food was back at the table before you were! Its a functional hotel that serves a purpose.

This hotel is an excellent option for travellers arriving and departing from Glasgow airport. The main terminal is an easy, safe 2 minute walk, with the 500 airport express bus (which goes right to Queen Street station) stance right outside the terminal. Staff at the hotel are friendly, helpful, and informative. There is a bar and dining for the evening hours and, for early departures, a well-stocked continental breakfast bar starting at 4am. The rooms are very clean and quiet. Overall, an excellent option, and I will continue to choose this hotel when traveling to and from Glasgow.

The hotel is within a seven or eight minute walk of the airport. It was easy to find of course, and we chose it after having booked the other Holiday Inn and comparing the ratings. We chose to move this one. Breakfast was OK similar and quality what you might find on an airplane. But not bad. Just acceptable. The staff were excellent. Our check-in was quick and efficient. We arrived quite early and we were able to leave our bags at reception while we explored Glasgow. Amusingly one of the finest parts of our room where the blackout curtains. It is very light in Scotland this time of year and it was an especially sunny day. When we woke up this morning, the room was pitch black the minute we opened the curtains. It was like the second coming of Christ! I wish I had curtains that worked that well at home. We highly recommend the Holiday Inn express. It couldn’t be more convenient. And if you’re dropping off a rental car, the hotel is a slow five minute walk from the rental counter, so you really can’t go wrong.

We stayed at this hotel for one night. The room was quite small and felt cramped. The TV was an older model, which made the room feel a bit outdated. The reception service was okay—nothing exceptional but not bad either. Overall, it was fine for a short stay, but there’s definitely room for improvement, especially in terms of room comfort and amenities.

Good enough for the price. Close to the airport, so convenient for an early flight. Noisy showers and very thin walls. Luckily everyone seemed to settle down by around 9-ish which helped. As we had an early flight didn't take advantage of the free breakfast, so can't comment on that. Would stay again for the price we paid.

This hotel is brilliant for a stay close to GLA. It is clean and comfortable, and the breakast is excellent. The biggest problem for us was finding it, quite the accomplishment for a large building that’s a three minutes walk away from the arrivals exit. When I spoke to the manager about this, he was completely unsympathetic, and he might just as well have come right out and said that he thought I was a very stupid old woman. He’s right about “old” but this old girl was travelling independently around Europe in 1970, armed only with paper maps. The next day, i was at the exit from arrivals, and there was a obviously frazzled gentleman with google maps open on his phone, looking totally lost. “Holiday Inn Express?” I asked. Yes indeed. He had looked, but same as me, he had seen no signage. So I gave him the directions: 1. Cross the traffic lanes at the purple bus. 2. Head into the parking garage, and follow the path of zebra stripes,which go off to your left. No way will you see the unlit sign in the garage which is mounted high and parallel to your direction of travel. 3. Go behind the glass fence-like structure. That’s a covered walkway, and you’ll be there in about two minutes. Maybe HIEx could share these instructions with expected guests. It took me almost an hour of walking back and forth looking for signs,and in circles (with my crutch and mobility issues) to get there the first time. I think HIEx owes me a drink.

Room and amenities were great and the reception staff were very helpful. Downside was the lady setting up for breakfast who wouldn’t allow us to access a grab &go breakfast roll as it was only 6.25 - and although the hot food was out it wasn’t to be touched till 6.30am! We were heading for the airport for an early flight and were disappointed as we chose this hotel as breakfast was included in the cost.

Disappointing service when ordering food at the bar. Only one server for meal/ drinks orders at the height of the Scottish holiday season! When it was finally our turn there was a 40 minute delivery time and most of the menu items were no longer available. We went elsewhere. In the morning the restaurant closed for 15 minutes while the hot food was being set up y the only employee on duty. We only wanted a continental breakfast but were denied access. Very poor service.
