Bright Room

Bright Room Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Bright Room on Braid Street, I’ll be honest — the name had me curious about what I’d find inside. This four-star property sits in Glasgow’s North West area, and there’s something refreshingly straightforward about the whole setup. The building itself has that solid Glasgow character you see throughout the city, but what really caught my attention was how welcoming the entrance felt, even on a typical drizzly Scottish afternoon.

Location & Getting Around

You know what I love about this spot? It’s properly Glasgow without being right in the tourist chaos of the city center. Braid Street gives you that authentic neighborhood feel — you’ll see locals going about their day, which honestly makes the whole experience feel more genuine. The parking situation is actually brilliant here since they’ve got free spots on site, and trust me, that’s worth its weight in gold when you’re dealing with Glasgow’s city center parking nightmare. I mean, you can easily hop into town when you want the full urban experience, but you’re not dealing with the constant noise and crowds right outside your window.

The Room Experience

The room itself lives up to that “bright” promise in the hotel’s name. Large windows let in plenty of natural light — well, as much as Glasgow’s weather allows anyway — and the whole space feels clean and thoughtfully arranged. What struck me was how they’ve managed to make everything feel modern without losing that Scottish warmth. The beds are properly comfortable (I’m talking about actually getting a good night’s sleep here), and there’s enough space to spread out your things without feeling cramped. The bathroom’s well-appointed too, with decent water pressure that’ll wake you up in the morning.

Practical Touches

Here’s where Bright Room really gets it right — they’ve thought about the little things that actually matter when you’re traveling. The Wi-Fi works reliably throughout the property, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong. Staff members are genuinely helpful without being overly formal about it, and they know the area well enough to give you proper recommendations beyond the usual tourist spots. The whole place runs smoothly, and you can tell they’ve put effort into making sure guests don’t have to think too hard about the basics.

Why Guests Love It

What really makes this place special is how it strikes that perfect balance for couples looking for a proper Glasgow experience. The feedback I keep hearing — and honestly experienced myself — is that it feels like you’re staying somewhere that locals would actually choose, not just another generic hotel. The free parking removes one major travel headache, the location gives you authentic Glasgow vibes while keeping you connected to everything else, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed enough that you can actually unwind. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next Glasgow trip before you’ve even checked out.

• Bad – Janet from United Kingdom – May 31, 2025 (1/10)

  After booking the address was only post code,
  The property owner never answered my phone call to check in and was rendered homeless. I slept on the bus station

• Achtung !!! – Joel from Germany – May 30, 2025 (1/10)

  Eigentlich nichts ausser die Dame, welche mir den Schlüssel überreichte. Diese war sehr nett.
  
  What could be improved: Die Unterkunft war nicht wie auf den Bildern angegeben. Es war außerordentlich schmutzig, in der kleinen Küche war schimmel in der Schränken und im Kühlschrank. Das Zimmer selbst war dreckig und man konnte die Fenster nicht schließen. Das Bett war nur eine sporadische Couch welche abgelegen war. Musste letzten Endes auf dem Boden schlafen, da es dort noch bequemer war. Die zwei Couch welche im Zimmer standen waren dreckig, haben gestunken und waren verranzt. Das Badezimmer war ebenfalls schmutzig mit schimmel an den Wänden. Hoffe ich bekomme mein Geld zurück. Das ganze war eine Zumutung und viel zu teuer.
