Anytime we visit Glasgow we always stay here as very good price, rooms are large , breakfast is very good and the staff are friendly and helpful 
Hotel is central and an easy walk to OVO Hydro.

Had a kettle with coffee and Tea available, I didn't use, breakfast was buffet style, and fair play it was nice, had cold or hot options, also fruit and continental style pastries, so plenty options,  the hot food was fine, maybe could have done with being a little warmer,

The staff was friendly enough and breakfast was good.

Breakfast is really good, lots of choice of drinks and cooked breakfast, limited fruit

The was also the bonus of a full breakfast buffet included in the very reasonable price.

Other than that the room was okay and enjoyed the cooked breakfast.

The breakfast had additional items added to include vegetarian guests and was quite good.

We're both vegan and enjoyed the breakfast as there were loads of options, even vegan

Picked this hotel for its location between the train station and the hydro, room had a great view and the breakfast was pretty good

During breakfast a person checked face covers and directed people to tables to follow social distancing as well as made sure guests were following this at all times in the restaurant.

Booked hotel for couple nights as my wife and myself were going to the pantomime our first evening and then Les Miserables the following evening.We had a really lovely,newly refurbished room on the third floor not facing Argyle Street.Was really peaceful and we both slept well.The choice for breakfast was terrific and really enjoyable.Staff were friendly and helpful.We will certainly try and book the hotel on our next visit to Glasgow.Absolutely great value for money paid.

Spotless clean, comfy bed and good breakfast.

It was right beside Central Station, very handy for the nightlife, welcoming and friendly staff, very clean room and excellent breakfast.

Full breakfast with  tea coffee,juice ,toast, cereals, fruit etc.

Breakfast was a help yourself affair with choices of fruit, cereals and hot cooked sausages, bacon & eggs etc.

It is a basic hotel and would be fine if you were looking for somewhere cheap to stay in the centre

The hotel was inexpensive so I've considered that in the rating and review.

Plenty of sockets

Thus us a budget hotel which exceeds expectations.

Overall good value hotel if you looking for a cheap stay in Glasgow.

As the hotel had been so cheap we had not expected much,

Recommended for short overnight stays on a budget.

If your travelling to Glasgow by train and want good budget level accommodation this is perfect
Clean and warm room, good breakfast and central location makes it a winner for me
Close to good restaurants and bars and a short walk to the river front 
Will stay there again

Very cheap hotel on Argyle Street perfectly located for everything.

A most attractive rate including more than adequate cooked buffet breakfast made this budget hotel a great find.

If you want a good value budget hotel then this ticks the boxes and yes I would return.

If you are looking for a cheap hotel in the middle of the city then this one is fine.

overall happy with the experience economical decent hotel.

You could make ten minor inexpensive changes to make the room excellent.

If you need a budget hotel that is well located, then I would recommend this hotel.

I think we paid around £90 for the room, which is cheap for the very central and handy Glasgow location,

Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a hotel on a budget.

Knew this was a budget hotel so wasn't expecting the Ritz.

I booked a budget single and was given room 601, a top floor room on the 6th floor, lifts go to 5 and a spiral staircase takes you to 6.

budget was on top floor and on the way up you knew that's where you were heading !!

The hotel is located very close to Glasgow Central station, the room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable.

Location is very near Buchanan shopping street and a block away  from the Glasgow Central Station.

The location is excellent just minutes from Glasgow Central station.

We stayed for one night last week, slap bang next to Glasgow Central Station.

I never felt unsafe walking around the area of the hotel, which is a short walk from Glasgow Central station, day or night.

Located very nearby the Glasgow Central station and next to several excellent cafes, this seemed like a decent dig.

It is in an excellent location near Glasgow Central station.

It's pretty much central to everywhere and only a 5/10 minute walk from Glasgow Central Station.

Alexander Thomson Hotel minutes walk from Glasgow Central Station is just okay

It is located near to Glasgow Central Station so it is easy to get to by rail.

The location is brilliant; a 15 minute walk from the bus station and a stones throw from Glasgow Central Station.

The car park is about a 10 minute walk from the other side of Glasgow central station.

Would recommend this hotel due to close proximity to Glasgow central station.

A stone's throw from Glasgow Central Station and about a five to seven minute walk to Glasgow Queen Street station.

We found that the hotel has a very central location by Glasgow Central Station, with every facility you could want close at hand.

This hotel is just a few minutes from Glasgow Central station, and there is a luggage room so you can check out and pick up your bags later.

The Alexander Thomson Hotel, is situated around the corner, from the Glasgow Central Station.

The hotel is situated 2 minutes from Glasgow central station and about 10 minutes from Glasgow Queen Street station.

The location is good being so close to Glasgow Central station and the city centre.

The bed was fairly comfy, room was big enough and the bathroom was clean enough.

The rooms were very large and spacious, clean and with ample tea/coffee facilities.

We were given a lovely big room with a city view.

The hotel itself was impressive with a bar and restaurant, room was big enough for the two of us and bathroom was spacious.

large room,partially renovated, good bed, very close to night life and city center (but we had no noise problems).good  breakfast in terms of choice (had hot and cold) and quantity .

Our room was large, spotless, comfortable, and quiet.

Alexander Thompson is a great place to stay as it has big rooms with sofas,beds, wardrobes and bathrooms with plenty of items in them.

Large room and very good for City Centre of Glasgow, even stores your cases on checkout day if required, brilliant.!

Large room with some shortbread biscits and bottled water.

Great hotel in the centre with easy access to trains, shops, restaurants, lovely comfortable hotel with lovely big rooms, great staff and amazing breakfast, would highly recommend this hotel to everyone

My room was large with a double bed, iron and ironing board, toiletries and usual hospitality tray with 2 biscuits.

The room was large and clean with a very comfortable bed.

Superb City Centre location, minutes walk from Central Railway Station and the shopping centres

Nicely appointed large room

Large wall mounted TV with complimentary tea, coffee and bottles water

Large bathroom with a good sized modern shower.

The room was big, and the beds were comfy.

Our room  was huge and the bed was really comfy.

I stayed in room 423 , the room was large and had a small sofa in it.

but as they were plenty on each bed, not an issue, only downside is noise, I got back to hotel around 1.30 - 2am, I could still hear music being played, when that stopped the shouting started followed by the sirens,  but once shut windows it was better, however had it been a warmer night I am guessing this could have been a problem.

We were also disturbed by other guests during the night (a drunk man knocking and shouting).

The smell of smoking cigarettes and other substances was throughout the corridors and there was a lot of noise and shouting from numerous rooms when we walked passed.

3 drunk men in the seating area being rather loud.

Street noise can be heard given hotel located on the very busy Argyll Street and windows not double glazed.

Never experienced bad hotel with single glazing so a lot of noise from the street, 1 lamp at the door and for the rest no lighting, not even on bed.

but you can’t blame the hotel for the noise.

However keep in mind there is construction happening directly opposite the hotel, we were at the back so didn't have any construction noise, although we were woken in the night by some people knocking loudly on another door down the corridor - not specifically the hotel's fault

If you like old buildings, poorly decorated, poorly maintained, loud guests, loud banging from the building site opposite and the sleepless njghts, then it's a fabulous place to stay.

The second one faced a construction site and the banging started at 7 AM.

but I’m ok with that .very efficient staff and hotel runs very smoothly indeed even during covid well done.the old is building opposite has now been demolished and is currently a building site .I was at the front and noisy during the day however this all went silent at 8 each evening do nothing spoilt

Creaky floorboards don’t help with the noise level either.

Quite a bit of noise from the road as the windows are not very sound proof

We could hear people in the room above us as well which wasn't ideal at 3 o'clock in the morning.

A red liquid was smeared, in arte moderno style, on the walls and plastic syringes littered the rustic floorboards.

there is no security despite the violence and frequent ambulances arriving.

However the stay couldn't have been more uncomfortable and very noisy.

but the noise from the room above us was unbearable and kept us awake all night.

but only one night don't think I could handle noise more than that.

In the bathroom it stinks after the drain.

You get all that here, plus a smell-mixture of air purifyer and cigarette smoke; walls that used to be white; and crugs that give a feeling of walking on sticky clouds.

The rooms wardrobe smelt of dampness so I didnt hang my clothes in it.

On to the bathroom behind the toilet on the floor is a mess, within the toilet around the rims is a mess, mould.

We were given a room on the 4th floor not realising it was a smoking room and smelled awful.

When we opened the door of the room it smelt awful.and was very small for a double room & had the smallest bathroom we had ever seen in a hotel.

I booked this hotel for myself and sister to stay over new year, arrived by taxi and straight away looked at the place and wasn’t impressed, went in and reception is dirty, reception staff was rude, we were told to wait 20mins to get keys sat on sofas that were so grubby and disgusting, paintwork chipped everywhere and needed a good scrub!!

Absolutely disgusting and no apology given.

After waiting 10 minutes and wondering aloud where all of these other people came from, you decide to take the stairs to the first floor, where the acrid smell of cigarettes in the hallway is replaced by what you think might be ham.

Couch in the room was broken and was disgustingly dirty.

the room we were directed to was disgusting.

The only positive to this hotel was its location.. 
Now the negatives .. 
some one had been smoking in our allotted room, so we were transferred to another room.

And don't get me started on the gross bathroom that stunk of damp/mould and the trickle of a shower.

Not only was the wood and mattresses a grave concern the stair wells and bannisters were absolutely filthy.

Very outdated, dark, ugly hotel which smelled of stale cigarettes.

We did not even stay for breakfast as I was grossed out with the place.

I've stayed here about 4 times now and it's unfortunately getting worse with each stay .Breakfast is very basic and dry, some rooms are fine other are either very noisy or smoking rooms.

As this had gone black and slightly mouldy in places.

The hotel is a bit outdated - creaky floors and very hot despite it being April with no heating on (no way to easily open the windows as they are heavy sliding windows).

but after we came back from the hydro the room was stone cold from the draft windows and the room was freezing all night

The room was very cold when we entered so I opened the curtains.

Curtains which close over properly
Very small wardrobe space with 4 hangers.

Given the age of the window, you may as well left it open as the racket from outside was just as bad, open or closed.

Also, the sign on the outside window said masks must be worn inside.

but the windows are extremely thin so you can hear every single bit of noise even when closed which led to very disturbed sleep for the whole 3 nights we were there.

When staying at the Alexander Thompson we paid full price for a room that had no warning of the dawn to dusk building work going on immediately outside our window.

but I couldn’t even open the windows to let out some of the unbearable heat because it is on such a noisy street.

It’s a big abandoned building, scary as hell and I got scared that something would crawl in to our room through the single glazed windows we had.

The negatives: when we arrived one of the two windows would not shut, one of the bulbs in the bedside lamps did not work (bayonet fitting was broken) and the TV would not tune, The pillows are almost flat and there were only three, there are no towel rails so you have no choice

You’ll recognize it not by the light (the curtains do an effective job of blocking that out)

there was a dirty sanitary pad on the floor, the sink in the bathroom was cracked, the whole room smelt of urine and the view from the window was of a dierlect building with overgrown gardens full of empty bottles and weeds.

But more importantly, my fifth floor room had a low window sill with fully opening windows, with no anti-accident or anti-suicide devices fitted.

This room was very noisy and couldn't close the window to reduce the road noise.

Poor and the window in my room did not close at all! !

The room we were in had faulty windows which we couldnt close, the bed linen was well worn, torn and stained and window paint work also needed a lot of attention.

The radiator was on full blast when we arrived in our room and we needed to open the window to prevent a sauna experience.

Staying for two nights this is a typical airport hotel, catering for quick stops before early morning flights.

As a frequent flyer due to work purposes I have many overnighters in airport hotels, I arrived 4 hours early from Dubai for my 4pm check in, was met at reception by Michael who informed me the hotel was very busy

Plenty of space for luggage - an important consideration for an airport hotel.

Lots of hotels at the airport - this is one of the good ones,

Complimentary breakfast something for everyone, with a service time of 6 hours , 
Very good Value for money Considering what you pay for breakfast in most airport hotels , 
Very close to Airport .

A great, comfortable, clean, value for money airport hotel with breakfast included too - bonus!

As no one ever goes to an airport hotel for a holiday, it was fine.

but that’s to be expected at an airport hotel.

This is a fine place to stay if you need an airport hotel.

The restaurant bar area is always relaxed and friendly and the food is decent for an airport hotel.

One of the better airport hotels we have stayed in.

I have stayed in many airport hotels around the country and can’t fault this one.

The staff meets up to the standards of an airport hotel, being kind and HIGHLY EFFICIENT.

Use other hotels in Airport area, coupled with park & ride service will save you a fortune on parking fees.

If you need a hotel that is next to the airport it is an easy 3 min walk.

really nice, convenient, friendly airport hotel.

but as an airport hotel presumably most people will be one-nighters.

At £60 per night fairly good value for airport hotel, we only had continental breakfast as we were leaving extremely early and on a weekend

Buffet Breakfast included hot options, fresh fruit and the usuals.

And they do have the standard IHG breakfast.

breakfast was available early which was great.

Breakfast included is great and accommodates travellers with very early morning flights.

Easy walk to the terminal and a good breakfast at a convenient time for an early flight.

but we were able to have a full breakfast as they were setting up as we arrived.

Early continental breakfast served to help with this.

Good choice on menu for evening meal and a good free breakfast included in our stay.

Nice hotel, good breakfast and thanks to Fiona for her help.

Good selection of pastries, fruits, toast, yoghurt  cereals and of course the much needed tea and coffee.

Excellent breakfast(cooked, cereals, croissants and toast.

Breakfast was ok - staff not the cheeriest.

Breakfast decent to set you up for the day.

Bright airy entrance with friendly reception staff, bar and breakfast area.

I came to Glasgow for an operation, mike and his team were so lovely and very helpful bringing my breakfast to my room.

Breakfast is available from an early hour which is very useful before catching those red-eye flights.

Breakfast area separate from the bar area which is a big plus with a good selection of hot and cold food and very convenient to-go options.

Great location for catching early morning flights.

Would stay again for the right price and an early morning flight,

Stayed here overnight before early flight - was lovely clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff.

We had an early morning flight before going on holiday and had decided to stay in the holiday inn and

The hotel is ideal especially if you have an early morning flight.

Stayed here again the night before early flight on holiday and again the place does not disappoint.

We booked here as we were flying from Glasgow airport to Turkey and the flight was quite early.

Stayed 15/8 for early flight in morning to Prague.

We had an extremely early flight so this was a great location.

Room lovely  n clean n was delighted that we d an early flight in the morning n i was able to get hot breakfast before i left n even wee takeaway bag for later .. wasnt too happy bought early flight

Stayed here as a family of 4 for 1 night due to a very early flight.

Great stay before our fairly early morning flight.

Suggested only if you are looking to catch an early morning flight or landing late and moving ahead next morning.

Breakfast is from 4am which is fabulous if you have an early flight.

Good hotel if you have an early flight and takes the stress put of travelling.

but due to our early flight we didn’t feel we needed anything.

Great breakfast included in the morning too.

The free breakfast was outstanding typical full scottish breakfast, with all the extra.

The free breakfast in the morning was lovely.

The accommodation is simple and clean and the inclusive breakfast is a bonus.

You will also enjoy the complimentary breakfast with 4 hot options and lots of alternatives like croissants and cereals etc available until 10am during the week.

The room was clean, the location was great and we even had breakfast included.

Can order food food downstairs for dinner and complimentary breakfast available early in morning.

Hairdryer didn’t work
Decent breakfast included 
Evening meal was ok, limited menu which was pricey
All in all did the job

breakfast which is included is good - limited range,

The complimentary breakfast was delicious as well!

Great room, comfortable, clean, quiet corridors and Breakfast included.

The breakfast included in our price was like most chain breakfast, plenty of hot and cold options, I am gluten free and a member of staff kindly got me some gluten free toast from the kitchen.

Breakfast included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages and beans plus all the usual cereals and breads.

Breakfast is included and as we had to be across the road at the airport for 5.30 we took advantage of the early opening at 4.00am of the restaurant.

breakfast is included with the room and was the buffet scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage etc.

My only criticism is the wine choice in the bar is poor, white wine option is only Pinot Grigio or a white zinfandel rose that's not the best.

Asked to speak to the duty manager about this poor food service

The food was really really bad -which is the main reason for this poor review.

Clearly very close to the terminal building and a covered walkway assists in poor weather.
