I was in Glasgow for the Dream Theater, I normally stay in The Mint or The Crowne Plaza when going to the SECC or The Armadillo, well, not any more. Friendly staff, good steak, nice little whiskey collection and a comfy bed. The room rate was fantastic, with very good value for money in the restaurant & bar. I found the management & staff to be chatty & helpful. I have a new base for my Glasgow gigs.

The Camponile Glasgow is a strange hotel. It is cheap for a city centre hotel, but then again its just on the edge of the city by the SECC. There is free parking. The food is OK and the bar is OK with a limited selection of beers. The rooms are clean and tidy if a bit small. The heaters work, the TV works and the keys work. The bed is comfortable. But I keep being drawn back to this place. It is not gourmet food, it is not super sharp, it is not luxurious bedrooms. It is not just the price either, although for a business traveller its a great price.

I stayed there again last week on business and joked about staying at the "campanile" again. When I arrived at the hotel it struck me what the attraction is.

The staff are the most genuine, polite, helpful, thoughtful, caring people I have come across in a hotel. Nothing is too much for them and they smile and are welcoming all the time.

Thats it. Great value, Great staff.

I didnt pay much for this one night stay, I was on the top floor, rooms are quite small, the fold down bed which doubles as a sofa had burn marks on it, there was a constant droning coming from above the room, I think it may have been the boiler room, the room was clean, the bed wasnt to comfy, when you moved the springs clunked, and next to the tea and coffee there was a little card that said about comp tea coffee and biscuits but there was no biscuits, to be found, all in all it was ok.

Stayed a couple of nights when visiting an exhibition at the SECC. Quick check in & had a room on 4th floor. Asked for more pillows which were delivered without fuss. Nice & quiet with no late night noise. Had our son with us which made it a tight squeeze but ideal for our requirements. Bed needs replacing as springs very noisy and prominent in places and shower room light didn't work. Advised front of house staff so should be acted on. Didn't eat in restaurants so can't comment but useful to have tea/coffee facilities on room (says u get biscuits but we had half penny sized sweets?). Cheap & cheerful place, u get what u pay for so if u want 4/5 star stay elsewhere.
