Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Britannia Inn Glasgow appears to be a convenient choice for many, especially given its good value and proximity to Charing Cross station and the city centre, with a Tesco market just a 4-minute walk away. Guests frequently mention the comfortable beds and the advantage of having amenities like tea and coffee making facilities and large screen TVs in the spacious rooms; some rooms even feature a fridge. While most find the location ideal, a few guests have occasionally noted warmth at times during their stay.

a comfortable stay with scenic views

short ride huge television

the location is great as it's close to charing cross station. it's only a short train ride to the city center. the staff were helpful and friendly. i was offered a complimentary upgrade to the 11th floor, and the television was huge at 85".

i did notice that there wasn't a vending machine for water or any drinks after breakfast hours. this was quite inconvenient, as getting a simple bottle of water became a challenge. i had expected that such amenities would be accessible at any time of day.

Rooms

the double room includes a comfortable bed and standard furnishings. large windows offer views was nice, but, they could have been cleaner, i feel! the bathroom contains essential toiletries and fresh towels.

surprised by the stay!

handy location discounted rate

the location proved handy for my travels. the adjacent multi-story car park was practical, especially with a discounted rate. i paid twelve pounds for twenty-four hours with the hotel discount!

I found only tissues rather than proper toilet paper in the bathroom. I requested toilet paper at the reception. the receptionist informed me that it came in a box!
