Rennie Mackintosh City Hotel - Cheap Hotel in Glasgow

Today I would like to make a small overview of a budget hotel in Glasgow, where I stayed when visiting the city with some business purposes a year ago.

I decided to stay in the Rennie Mackintosh City Hotel in Glasgow mostly because of its central location right in the centre of Glasgow neighbouring the mainline Glasgow Central Station, just a few minutes walk from famous city museums, cafes, and restaurants. In case you want to spend some money on shopping, you can easily do that in the nearby shopping centers just a few minutes away from the hotel. Despite its closeness to the city center places of entertainment, there were no problems with the noise, my room was very quiet though the windows of my room overlooked the street side. My room wasn’t at all modern, but perfectly clean, the bed was quite comfortable. Everything in the room was basic: TV, telephone, shower, hairdryer, heating, work desk, but most importantly everything was clean. There were some faults we encountered, however: the lack of a lift and a very steep hill leading to the hotel. I think it can be a real problem for older travelers. Of course, it was not the Ritz Hotel but for £49.95 a night including a satisfactory traditional Scottish breakfast in a central location you really couldn’t complain! I should also mention a very friendly and considerate staff of the Rennie Mackintosh City Hotel.

I would recommend this hotel for those who want to stay on budget in Glasgow and enjoy the central location. The address of the Rennie Mackintosh City Hotel in Glasgow is: 218 Renfrew Street Garnethill. This is a 2 star hotel in Glasgow.
Good-bye for now!
