Glasgow Townhouse

Glasgow Townhouse Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Glasgow Townhouse? I was expecting just another budget-friendly spot on Morrison Street, but this place actually has some serious character tucked away in what’s honestly a pretty unassuming stretch of the Southside. I mean, you walk past and it doesn’t scream “boutique hotel,” but once you’re inside – well, that’s where they got me.

The thing is, Glasgow has this knack for hiding gems in plain sight, and this townhouse is definitely one of them. The owners clearly put thought into the details without going overboard – you’ll notice things like the original Victorian features they’ve kept (the staircase banister is gorgeous), but they’ve also made sure the WiFi actually works and the shower pressure doesn’t disappoint. I stayed on the second floor and honestly, it was quieter than I expected considering you’re pretty close to the city center. The rooms have this lived-in elegance thing going on – not Instagram-perfect, but comfortable in a way that makes you want to actually unpack instead of living out of your suitcase.

What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to know the area inside and out. When I asked about getting to the Merchant City without dealing with the main tourist drag, they gave me this perfect walking route through the backstreets that I never would have found on my own. And here’s something practical – parking around Morrison Street can be a bit of a nightmare during the day, but there’s decent street parking in the evenings, plus they can point you toward a couple of lots nearby that won’t completely drain your wallet. The breakfast room overlooks this little courtyard garden (nothing fancy, but pleasant enough), and they do a proper Scottish breakfast that’ll keep you going well into the afternoon. I actually ended up chatting with other guests there – you know how some places feel too formal for that? This isn’t one of them. The whole vibe is more like staying at a well-run B&B that happens to have hotel-level service. Sure, it’s not going to blow you away with luxury amenities, but for the price point and that 4.8 rating they’ve earned, it really delivers on being a solid, authentic Glasgow experience without any of the pretense you sometimes get in the West End spots.

To book hotel in Glasgow during the famous Edinburgh Festival season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts music lovers and culture enthusiasts from around the world.

• Very Poor – Nihow from United Kingdom – July 29, 2025 (2/10)

  Facilities are good excellent showers and a pool table albeit not level. Good kitchen dining area. Interesting old building.
  
  Managing agents seemed pleasant on the phone but did not receive the entry instructions until late as I missed that a deposit is required.
  
  What could be improved: The flat was dirty, food left in the fridge and microwave. Broken beds which appear to have been slept in but not changed.
  
  Rubbish left in the bathrooms, no toilet paper, bins not emptied.
  
  Condom wrappers and Nitrous oxide bottles.
  
  Cleaners were sent in but they removed the obvious but not the waste left under the furniture or around.
  
  A deposit is required but I suppose the previous tenant left in a hurry and assume they did not get their money back although it was not paid to the cleaning team.
  
  Also the lift is broken so 5 flights of stairs to climb.
  
  A strange arrangement with the bedrooms overlooking the lounge l, there is a barrier but no solid wall so you are disturb by anyone else in the lounge.
