Decent hotel
The staff were excellent and very friendly and the room itself was spacious and clean. however the room had no heater, or at least it wasn’t obviously accessible (there was air conditioning in there though?). Not ideal in winter in Glasgow! Aside from that all very good.

Ideal location
We were at a gig in St Luke’s near the Barras so the Holiday Inn Express was a good location for that. Within 20 mins walking distance. Breakfast was perfect for us with an adequate selection and a warm buffet.

Within walking distance of Central and Queen Street stations. Surrounding area not very attractive, but safe. Clean.
No cheese or cold meat for breskfast. No rolls. Only ordinary bread.
Some noise from outside on Friday and Saturday. It seemed to stop at 23:00.
Good value for money. I’d stay there again.

Wedding celebration break
We arrived at night and the service was good as the receptionist was very clear with the advice. Unfortunately our expectations were not met which was acceptable but it simply meant we had to move hotels.
