We chose this hotel as it is within easy walking distance (10mins) of the S.E.C.C. We had searched the internet and read Tripadvisor comments prior to our decision to stay. What a complete surprise when we arrived not knowing what to expect. We received a very friendly welcome from reception staff, the reception area is clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was exceptionally clean and again well decorated - bathroom spotless, with very hot water in shower and from taps. Very comfy bed and a good night's sleep. Breakfast was massive - full Scottish. We have stayed in far more expensive hotels belonging to hotel chains(MacDonalds/Hilton etc), and this was a far superior breakfast. Overall this was an excellent experience in the heart of Glasgow.

Had a quick trip for a football match. Excellent for the price and breakfast included which was plus. Long walk to town center but buses available. Excellent services, pubs, and eating around the hotel. No elevator so got my exercise going up stairs. Would stay again!

Check in was very quick and the guy was very helpful, The room was large but basic and at the front of the hotel which can be noisy as it is on Sauchiehall Street. The staff couldn't of been more helpful as my wife didn't have a hair dryer and reception provided one free for the whole stay. We were still in the room when the maids arrived to clean, we asked them not to and they supplied clean towels, tea and sugar for us. Breakfast was very filling and cooked to order again staff very friendly.

I stayed at the Sandyford for a conference at the Exhibition center. The hotel is quite basic but offered a good deal when getting it online, around 35£ per night. Rooms and corridors are a bit worn down and the room was very small, although they vary as a colleague got a double room at the same price. Breakfast is mid-range with all the imaginable fried stuff for the english style breakfast although a bit uneven quality in the different days and with a quite unattractive fresh section (I guess that is not the top feature of what most people expect in a Scottish breakfast anyway!). Position is very good for the exhibition center but quite far from the city.
I was positively surprised by the nice desk service. Especially they were really good about changing my reservation (to one day less) at the last minute at no extra charge.
Overall a good budget alternative but a bit out of town
