"We stayed at Point A Hotel Glasgow for an overnight visit and it was an excellent choice for a short, central stay. Check-in was quick and straightforward, with friendly staff who immediately made us feel welcome.
The hotel has a modern, clean feel throughout and feels very well organised despite being busy.
The room was compact but cleverly designed, making great use of the space. The bed was extremely comfortable, and there were plenty of charging points exactly where you need them, a big plus.
The TV was a decent size and easy to use. One small quirk was that the lighting system seemed to change colour or flash slightly at times, which was a bit odd, but not a deal-breaker.
Location-wise, it’s spot on. The hotel is just minutes from Buchanan Street Bus Station and right in the city centre, making it ideal if you’re arriving by bus, heading to the theatre, shopping, or out for food and drinks.
There are loads of restaurants, cafés and pubs nearby, so you’re spoilt for choice without needing to travel far.
We didn’t have breakfast, but it’s worth noting that breakfast is free if you book directly with the hotel rather than using third-party websites, definitely something to consider. There’s also a very handy ironing facility available if you’d rather freshen up clothes than go for a continental breakfast, which is a thoughtful touch.
One of the standout features was the option for a late checkout. Instead of the standard 11am, you can stay in your room until 3"
