citizenM Glasgow Overview

Walking into citizenM Glasgow, you’re immediately hit with that distinctly modern vibe – all sleek lines and bold colors that somehow manage to feel welcoming rather than sterile. I mean, this isn’t your traditional Scottish hotel experience, but honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work so well in the city center. The lobby buzzes with an energy that’s part tech startup, part boutique hotel, and it sets the tone for everything else.

What really struck me about this place is how they’ve managed to pack so much functionality into those compact rooms without making you feel like you’re sleeping in a shoebox. The bed dominates the space (in the best way possible), and everything else – from the rainfall shower to the tablet that controls literally everything – feels thoughtfully designed rather than just trendy for the sake of it. You know what’s actually brilliant? The floor-to-ceiling windows that give you proper views of Glasgow’s skyline, especially if you’re facing toward the Merchant City area. The soundproofing is surprisingly good too, which matters when you’re right in the thick of things.

The location puts you within easy walking distance of Central Station – I’m talking maybe five minutes if you’re not rushing – and you’re practically surrounded by some of Glasgow’s best restaurants and pubs. The staff genuinely seem to know their stuff about the local scene, not just the touristy bits but actual recommendations that locals would give you. Their 24-hour canteenM (yes, that’s what they call their restaurant area) becomes this sort of informal meeting spot where you’ll find everyone from business travelers grabbing late-night snacks to groups planning their next move around the city. The coffee’s actually decent, which isn’t always a given in hotel lobbies, and there’s something oddly satisfying about the self-service setup – it feels less formal, more like you’re staying at a friend’s incredibly well-designed apartment building. With an 8.4 rating, you can tell other guests appreciate the attention to detail, even if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Some people find the whole high-tech approach a bit much, but if you’re comfortable with modern conveniences and appreciate design that actually serves a purpose, this place delivers on its promise of being different without being difficult.

Best hotels in Glasgow range from luxurious properties in the historic city center to boutique hotels with stunning views of the River Clyde and magnificent Victorian architecture.

  Comfy, clean room. The light settings and decor. Friendly, efficient staff. The staff came immediately when I called to say there was a problem with the extractor fan, it was as loud as a hoover, so they quickly offered to change my room with no fuss.
