Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre at George Square is the sensible choice for visitors who want to spend their money on experiences rather than rooms. The chain is known across Britain for clean, comfortable, consistent rooms and large beds at a fair price, and this city-centre location puts you close to George Square, Queen Street Station and Buchanan Street, so everything you want to do in Glasgow is on foot or a short Subway ride. It is not the place for atmosphere or local character, but it is excellent for a practical stay.
Location and getting around
George Square is the civic heart of Glasgow, with the City Chambers on one side and Queen Street Station on another, and the hotel is within an easy walk of Buchanan Street, the Merchant City, GoMA and Glasgow Cathedral. The hop-on hop-off bus stops nearby, and the Subway at Buchanan Street and St Enoch is within walking distance. Arrivals by train at Queen Street or Central are a short walk or taxi ride from the door.
Rooms and who it suits
Premier Inn rooms are simple and functional, with comfortable beds and the same layout across the brand. Families will find rooms that sleep several people, and the price makes it popular with groups, solo travellers and visitors on a budget. City-centre streets can be noisy at weekends, so light sleepers should request a higher or quieter room. Check the rate page for current amenities, including breakfast and any restaurant, as these can change.
Good to know
Glasgow's 5 percent visitor levy applies to many overnight stays, so factor that into your budget. Parking is limited and costly in the centre, so travel by train if possible. If you want design on a budget, Motel One and citizenM are the stylish alternatives. For a special occasion, upgrade to the Kimpton or Hotel du Vin. Premier Inn is the practical, no-fuss option.
