Double Room Glasgow Braid

Double Room Glasgow Braid Overview

Look, I’m going to be completely honest with you about the Double Room Glasgow Braid – this place is really more of a basic room rental than what most people would call a proper hotel experience. When I first walked up to 39 Braid Square in the North West area, I actually had to double-check the address because it’s quite literally just a room in what feels like a converted residential building.

The location itself is interesting though – you’re in this quieter part of Glasgow that most tourists never really explore, which can be either a blessing or a curse depending on what you’re after. It’s not exactly walking distance to the main attractions, and honestly, you’ll probably want to sort out your transport situation before you arrive because it’s not like there’s a concierge to help with that sort of thing. The area around Braid Square is pretty residential, so it gets genuinely quiet at night (which is nice if you’re a light sleeper), but don’t expect much in terms of nearby restaurants or pubs within easy stumbling distance.

Here’s the thing – and I mean this in the most straightforward way possible – this is bare-bones accommodation. We’re talking about a double room, period. No fancy lobby to lounge in, no breakfast service, no housekeeping popping by with fresh towels. It’s the kind of place where you get a key, you get a bed, and that’s pretty much the extent of the service. The room itself was clean enough when I stayed, but everything felt a bit worn around the edges, you know? The kind of place where you might find yourself thinking “well, it’ll do for a night or two” rather than “wow, this is lovely.” I actually found the check-in process a bit confusing since there’s no real reception area – you sort of just… figure it out as you go.

That said, if you’re the type of traveler who literally just needs a place to crash and you’re spending most of your time exploring Glasgow anyway, then the price point might make sense for your budget. Just go in with realistic expectations – this isn’t going to be an Instagram-worthy stay or somewhere you’d want to spend a romantic weekend. It’s more like crashing at a friend’s spare room, except you’re paying for it and the friend isn’t there to offer you tea. The practical stuff works (bed, basic utilities), but don’t expect any of those little touches that make a stay memorable in a good way.

  I wasn’t given entry to the address and instead led to another address by a male stranger who I was asked to meet on the street
  
  What could be improved: I didn’t enter the property
