Argyll Hotel

I booked a night here because it looked quite nice on other travel sites. It was very disappointing that my stay did not in any way live up to expectations.
The first room we were given was in the annex across the street and was below street level. The room itself had a funky, off smell and the dirty, lone sock and used bar of soap on the floor was not a great welcome. Aside from these, the room looked old and one that was not at all comfortable. More akin to a bad hostel (no offense to hostelers).
We were able to change rooms (in the same building) and this was a step above, literally. It was at least at street level but again nowhere near the level of the photos posted here. To boot, in exchange for a better smelling room, the wifi signal did not reach our location. Ugh. We decided to bear it for one night. I slept on a towel just in case if that gives an indication of the cleanliness.
The area is great and the front desk was helpful but I wish the hotel didn’t have such disparate choices in rooms. I would have happily paid extra for one of the cozy rooms displayed on their website.

If you’re looking for a good old fashioned hotel — then the Argyll Hotel is for you. Yes, it’s a little small, and more than a little chintzy, but it has character enough to make up for both these things, and that’s sure good enough for me.
You’ll find the Argyll Hotel on the stretch of Sauchiehall Street by the Kelvingrove — you know the bit, where every single building is a hotel. (Convienient, I suppose, if you fancy a bit of hotel hopping). It’s definitely more of a traditional hotel, especially compared to the ‘holiday inn’ type places that seem to be taking over the world.
It’s well placed for both Glasgow city centre and the West End of the city, so if you are planning a visit to Glasgow — this is a great option. There are also a huge number of great restaurants and cafes in the vicinity — so you won’t go hungry either! And there’s a pub in the basement.
Plus, their bedrooms are named after Scottish Clans. Can’t say this would encourage me any further — but I know a lot of people would get very excited by this…

If your going to a concert at the Glasgow SECC this is the perfect place to stay as it’s only a 10 — 15 minute walk, Ideal !!
This is a small guest house but it’s nicely decorated and is a good price, breakfast is pricey but there are plenty of places to eat in Glasgow! I recommed this guest house !

This is my favourite budget hotel in Glasow, the staff are so friendly and helpfull. The only thing i dont like about it is it is quite a bit out off Glasgow. You go along suchiehall street past all the shops and on and on over the moterway and you get my drift. It is however quite a good hotel to stay in if you are going to the secc and at around 45 a night you cant complain.
