I've been in this hotel one Saturday night for a weekend in Glasgow. The room (602), was really clean and the bathroom too. The breakfast of Sunday was very good with a good range of choices. The location is close to the Central Station, few hundred meters, perfect when travelling to Glasgow just for a short weekend: everything (restaurants, pubs,... More

We spent two nights at the Alexander Thompson. The room was large and well decorated and we had the luxury of a full size bath in a sparkling bathroom. There was a problem with the TV when we arrived, the counter staff attempted to sort it out without success but gave us the controller to the TV in the lounge.... More

Its a decent budget hotel with a great price and for the price we paid for one night £35 pounds it was perfect for where we needed to be. The room was big and had a decent and... More
