Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End Overview
You know what caught me off guard about the Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End? It’s actually way more solid than you’d expect for what’s technically a 3-star place. I mean, don’t get me wrong – it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury touches, but there’s something refreshingly honest about it that I really appreciated during my stay.
The location is honestly the star here. You’re properly in the West End, which means you can walk to some of Glasgow’s best bits without dealing with the chaos of the city center. I’m talking about being close enough to Byres Road that you can grab a proper coffee and do some browsing, but far enough away that you’re not hearing drunk students stumbling home at 3 AM. The university area is right there too, so there’s this nice energy around – lots of good pubs and restaurants that locals actually use, not just tourist traps. I spent one evening just wandering around Ashton Lane, which feels like stepping into this tiny cobblestone world that somehow survived in the middle of a modern city.
The rooms are… well, they’re functional in the best possible way. Clean, comfortable bed (which honestly matters more than fancy pillows), decent shower with actual water pressure, and enough space to spread out your stuff without playing suitcase Tetris. The 7.1 rating makes sense – it’s not perfect, but it gets the job done without any nasty surprises. I actually liked that they didn’t try too hard to be something they’re not. The breakfast was simple but good, staff were genuinely helpful when I needed directions, and check-in was smooth. There’s something to be said for a place that just… works, you know? Plus, parking wasn’t the nightmare I’d expected, which if you’ve ever driven in Glasgow, you’ll understand is basically a miracle. The only real downside is that the walls could be a bit thicker – I could hear my neighbors chatting, though thankfully they weren’t party animals. Overall though, it’s one of those places where you get exactly what you pay for, maybe even a bit more.
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.
