ibis budget Glasgow

On the south side of the river, just west of the M8, this chain hotel sits in a small strip mall of delights including a cinema, casino, bowling alley and more although some rooms have open, urban views back towards the city centre. It's also just a short walk along the river from the Glasgow Science Centre – opposite the various structures of interest at Finnieston – while the Clyde Arc and two nearby pedestrian bridges will get you across the Clyde in no time. It's basic, it's a self- billed budget hotel of course, but book in advance and prices are startlingly low. There is another Ibis in Glasgow at West Regent Street – see website for details.
