Tiny rooms with no surfaces to put any luggage. It has to be on the floor. The climate system is centrally regulated and you cannot control the temperature of the room. There are no closets, no shelves. AWFUL. Attempted to upgrade to larger room and was told no availability, but was able to go on their website and reserve a larger room for the same night. Stay away. read more

This friendly establishment has 24/7 desk staff and a cozy lounging area and bar. Rooms are comfy, cozy, and quiet. Breakfast is full on filling, and the view of a construction site across the street was a terrific photo. A budget hotel I was happy to be in. read more

The second of the Ibis Hotels we stayed at while on our Contiki tour of England and Scotland, the Ibis Glasgow has identical rooms to its counterpart in Liverpool. There are no travel sized amenities, just the standard giant bottle of soap that serves as shampoo, body wash, and hand soap. Two bath towels are provided, no face or hand towels. There is a hair dryer provided, small flat screen TV, coffee and tea bar, along with a decent sized room. The bathroom still looks like a spaceship pod with a large shower. The furniture is standard cookie cutter. Free wifi is provided which is a huge plus. The queen bed was comfortable and the breakfast was standard English/Scottish breakfast. The hotel is just south of Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow and walking distance to the main shopping square. We were able to walk from the hotel to the Glasgow Cathedral in about 20 minutes. They have buses but if you can walk it and it isn't raining, why not? It's located next to a Novotel hotel. read more

For a spoiled yet frugal American Jet Setter, this is a GREAT deal for the amount of money you would spend. For about 60 Sterlings, I got a room here that was twice as large as another room that I had originally booked from a supposedly reputable chain. My room had a contemporary restroom, a queen size bed, a desk with free wi-fi connection, and quite a bit of space to move around. (AND SO CLEAN!!) Since this hotel caters to a younger crowd, you could go downstairs to the kiosk for a midnight snack or simply walk a block to get your chippies or drambruies. An interesting fact is that during my stay, one of the patrons had accidentally set off the fire alarm; he was smoking in his room, which was prohibited. Surely enough, at 3am, the whole hotel evacuated into the streets as the fire fighters came to check on the building. The great thing about this was the fact that the police department was directly across the street, so they were able to respond in literally seconds! So if you want to live in a safe and friendly neighborhood, this is the spot! Another great thing is the location of this hotel; the bars/pubs and night life are only 2 blocks away, in the heart of Sauchiehall, which would save you a ton of transportation money. I recommend everyone who is on a budget or wants to have more spending money, to come check out this very trendy and very friendly hotel. read more

These hotels are always pretty decent and really clean. Our beds weren't the most comfortable and the breakfast is never super great, but for the price, overall worth it read more

This was stop number 4 on our contiki module of Scotland. The hotel is modern and clean. The bathrooms are like little pods (remind me of bathrooms on cruise ships but bigger). This was the best shower I've had since I've been in the UK. The beds were twins for myself and my travelling buddy, they were narrower than standard twin beds but comfy. The hotel is on/near a major pedestrian area and bars/restaurants. It's also across from a police station. However this didn't stop people from being super loud outside our room all night which was frustrating and part of why I only gave this place 4 stars (that and the super tiny beds). Breakfast was good, standard, nothing special. read more

Nice hotel with basic ammenties. Unfortunately the noise from all the speed racers at 2a kept me up at night. The police nor the city cares about this issue The hotel was generous enough to move our bags to another floor. If you do stay here get a room that doesn't face the street. Thank you to the GM Janice in doing everything but one star for the noise. Try to avoid this place unless your a street racer then race away. read more

This is a good value hotel in a central area of Glasgow. The location of the hotel makes it ideal for budget accommodation for a special night out on the town or for a major shopping spree! It's just a short walk from lots of great restaurants and bars and around 10 mins walk from copious shops. The rooms are basic but clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again! read more

This is only the second chain hotel at which I have stayed in Europe (The other was a different, slightly more upscale hotel in a non-UK country that is in the same corporate chain that owns Ibis, Accor). I normally eschew chains, but was offered a fantastic corporate rate (40-something GBP with breakfast included) at the Ibis in Glasgow. The price was so much lower than anywhere else that I couldn't say no. The area immediately around the hotel looks a little run down and shady, but I wasn't particularly bothered by that. The city center is within easy walking distance as is Sauchiehall Street. The wonderful area around the University of Glasgow (including the Kelvingrove and Hunterian museums) is just a bit farther. With all this within walking distance, you can't beat the location. My check in was relatively easy during the late evening in which I arrived, exhausted from Wales. When I got to my room, it was boiling hot, due to heater being turned up too high. No big deal, I opened a window and the chilly April air cooled it right down. I urgently needed to check email so I followed the instructions on the TV screen to purchase the media package (internet available by a plug in cable, multiple channels on the TV, and the ability to dock our ipod and play through the TV speakers). All seemed to go relatively well, but it stopped working shortly thereafter. The employee that came up when I requested assistance was more than a bit difficult. At first she tried to say that it was down everywhere (It wasn't, by the way) and went downstairs to reset the whole system. Then she tried another ethernet cable. She kept saying that it must be the system. However, I insisted to be moved to another room in which we could at least try (even beforehand) to see if it worked. It did. I moved. I just could have dealt with a more pleasant attitude about it from her (though I will admit that my fatigue added to my irritation). To calm myself, I ordered some food from the restaurant downstairs. Their all-day menu was available and I ordered chicken wings and a beer. You wait down there and can then either eat it in the casual bar area or carry it up to your room. I needed the beer badly. The wings were beyond terrible. I think the best thing about them is that they were served with raita (odd, but really refreshing). I tried the breakfast downstairs the next day. It's a continental affair with a few pastries (and blessedly, single serve Nutella), fruit, and sad-looking meat slices. There are also eggs and bacon in a chafing dish that didn't look appealing at all. OK, lesson learned about the food there. I just ate elsewhere for the rest of the trip. The room was just fine. There's a good amount of desk space which is greatly appreciated, another chair, a bed that wasn't anything thrilling (but upon which I slept perfectly well), closet, and TV. The bathroom was an equally simple affair with just a shower and no tub. This didn't matter. Everything in the room (and hotel in general) was quite clean and comfortable. There's nothing fancy here. However, it's a place in which trustworthy, easy accommodations close to almost everything can be had for probably one of the best rates in the city. If you're not seeking lots of frills, I'd definitely consider this particular Ibis. read more

This property offer a standard, reasonably priced accommodation. I was especially impressed at the friendliness of the staff.

This place is disgusting!! When we entered the room we immediately noticed a foul odor but the window was open and we thought it would clear quickly. Before going to dinner, we closed the window and headed out. We returned to a gagging odor of raw sewage. There is an obvious problem that we believe the management knows about (leaving a window open doesn't mask the issue!). No toiletries, bad odor, crummy service, less than good breakfast. Simply yuck - avoid! read more

Just a chin-hair away from some of the best bars, Ibis is the only place I would recommend for lovers of the city nightlife. Like Monlia said, the rooms are huge. Build for at least 8 people (believe me, we've checked!) And the person sitting at the desk is always chirpy, even at 3am. It is a little more expensive but you get what you pay for. read more

A few things: 1. This is truly a budget hotel. Nothing more, but nothing less. The staff are friendly enough, but clearly haven't been trained well in hospitality. I do think that they can prioritize a refurbishment on their uniforms, however. Their outfits seem to resemble those of fun run volunteers. 2. The rooms are more than basic; in fact a little bizarre. The shower is roughly 10 centimetres from the bed closest to the door and the sink is smaller than an average soup bowl. The toilet door doesn't lock (and barely shuts) and for a family room, I'd expect a more private shower door. The beds aren't the most comfortable, but I've experienced worse. The pillows are rock hard, but not unbearable. Any antonym of spacious would describe the square footage. For a room labeled to fit 3, I would think 1, maybe (just maybe) 2 would fit appropriately. 3. The location is beyond poor. A 15-20 minute brisk walk is required to get virtually anywhere. A chain coffee shop, a movie theatre and a bingo hall are not what I would consider fun tourist activities, especially in Scotland. See what I mean? Painfully average for a budget hotel. Bells ring in my head when I hear the words ibis and budget, but both in the same phrase is certainly an alarm. Would I recommend? The golden question here. Short answer, no. But I guess it's dependant on your reason for travel and financial situation. read more

Average hotel with small rooms. The biggest negative is the street racing that occurs right outside the hotel rooms until the early hours of the morning. The hotel and police say this is an almost nightly problem. I would not feel safe walking around the neighborhood at night while the street racing (dozens of vehicles and men) is going on. read more

The Ibis has been one of my favourite hotels for a few years now, its excellent value for money! Every room has a double bed and mod cons, its extremely clean and well kept, a nice bar on the ground floor and a relaxed atmosphere, the staff are first class! Recommended for value for money and convenience for the city centre. read more
