More photosThe Point A Hotel in Glasgow is a modern, budget-friendly retreat that opened in 2017. Designed with a sleek, “airline-inspired” aesthetic, the property focuses on efficiency and comfort, making it a popular choice for travelers who want to be right in the middle of the city’s action without the high price tag.
The hotel’s rooms are intentionally compact and clever, featuring high-quality Hypnos beds, power showers, and adjustable mood lighting. One of the most interesting aspects of the design is the range of windowless rooms available, which are specifically marketed as a quiet, dark sanctuary for those who want a guaranteed undisturbed sleep in the heart of a bustling city center.
Located just 300 meters from the Royal Concert Hall, the hotel puts you within walking distance of almost everything. You’re only a short stroll from the premier shopping of Buchanan Street, the historic Gallery of Modern Art, and the ornate Glasgow City Chambers. It’s also a perfect launching point for the city’s famous “Mural Trail,” where you can discover massive, colorful street art tucked away in the city’s historic lanes.
The hotel features a large, airy guest atrium that serves as a multi-functional space for working, dining, or simply grabbing a coffee. While the hotel itself doesn’t have a restaurant, its prime location means you are surrounded by some of the city’s best eateries, from traditional Scottish fare at *The Butterfly and The Pig* to world-class ramen spots.
Expert reviews
“Part of a new wave of well-designed cheap hotels with noticeably smaller rooms, Point A offers extremely comfortable beds, small bathrooms and a great breakfast just steps from many of the bars, restaurants and other attractions in the City Centre, perhaps making the lack of space somewhat less of an issue.”

Bobing and weaving ducking and diving.
Local city centre for everything we needed.
The city is undergoing a lot of infrastructure work for the commonwealth game's later this year so not good for getting about as well as Central railway station after the massive fire there recently year.

No kettle in room

Small but we’ll designed; reasonable price and well located.
They had really thought about how to maximise a small space. They had thought about how to use self service, all to keep costs down. The stag on the 24 hour reception were very helpful and very friendly. A very good location at a reasonable price. Small but we’ll designed; I’d definitely stay again.
The room was quite hot, even with the air con on minimum, it was still quite hot.

Great location, clean and friendly staff.
Room was very clean and had heaps of handy spots for storage. As you would know room size in the UK is very small but this room made up for that inconvenience. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the location is great. I thought the no windows in our room was a bit budget but I was so glad we had them so we could get some quality sleep.
Nothing to note it was all very good.

Great location. Small compact rooms but it says that on the description.
Perfect location for a visit to the city centre. On st parking available in all the surrounding streets. It’s clean & basic. We don’t have breakfast.
Bed is a standard double. I’m 6 foot tall & my legs hung over the end. The rooms & bathrooms are very same compared to other hotels we’ve stayed in.

Perfect spot for a quick trip to Glasgow!
The staff were friendly and the location was excellent!
The rooms are super tiny with a lack of convenient outlets for charging. A kettle in the room would be an added bonus but in fairness I’m not sure where they could put it.

Good location, poor facilities.
The staff were excellent, the location was great and the room was very clean.
If you don't book through their website you have to pay extra for breakfast and coffee. The rooms have no kettle or tea/coffee making facilities. I've never encountered this in a hotel before and the staff even agreed it was bad form, especially given the price.

Central Glasgow clean hotel
Central location. Clean room. Continental breakfast was fabulous 👌. Room was compact but well designed. Comfy bed. Parked in Cambridge Street multistory and got discounted rate with validated ticket (£8 for 10pm - 11am).
Nothing.

Friendly and always looking forward to return
The staff, the people behind reception are the reason I’ll always rebook - I usually book direct with them (better value for money)
Nothing!

Good location, great staff but less facility.
It has a great location and the staff were extremely friendly. 0-24 reception also a plus.
The room was really small and without any facility like to table, or chair, or shelf,fridge or cabinet. We were on the road side and it was so loud as well. It was fine for 1 night but wouldn’t recommend for longer stay.

Nice hotel in city centre - Value for money
The hotel is centrally located. Though the size of the room is very compact most of the facioities are avaiable. When we need hot water and contracted Reception, they always pleased to provide the hot water, anytime we go there. Rooms are functional. Small, but clean and beautiful. We love to go there again for our next visit. Strongly recommend for families, tourists.
I do not have anything in mind except the bill amount

The accommodation was clean and fine for us, but not ideal for claustrophobics :)
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and spacious, the room had a window, and it is located in the center of Glasgow, close to the train stations and with good connections to the airport.
The fact that the accommodation is near the train station has a downside: just like in any city, the area around the station is a bit run-down, with homeless people and various vagrants—in short, people who don’t exactly give you a good impression.
Once you leave this area, however, you’ll discover the charming side of Glasgow with its friendly people.

Good location, very clean, good common area. Definitely a nice place to say for a night.
Great location just a few blocks from Buchanan bus station. Good common area, and very clean. People at desk were great, very clean, a nice bathroom
Room not large, but fine for a one night stay

Safe, clean, modern spot in a great location for exploring Glasgow
Great location, feels safe, modern hotel with compact but clean and comfortable rooms. Staff very attentive and happy to chat.
A complementary coffee (as no facilities in room) would be a nice touch. Late checkout is £25 which is disproportionate - some flexibility would go a long way to building customer care.

Other Glasgow hotels
The Alamo Guest House, Glasgow
The Alamo Guest House is a beautifully preserved 1880s Victorian townhouse located in the heart of Glasgow’s vibrant West End. Built by craftsmen Thomas Hill and William S. Johnson, the structure was a feat of engineering; to combat the soft, silty ground near the River Kelvin, Hill famously drove 40-foot pine logs into the earth to provide a solid foundation for the masonry.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“The Alamo may not sound a peaceful spot, but that’s exactly what this great place is. Opposite Kelvingrove Park, it feels miles from the city’s hustle, but several of the best museums and restaurants in town are close by.”
Dakota, Glasgow
Dakota Glasgow, located on West Regent Street, brings a touch of modern, dark-hued sophistication to the city center. Housed in a cleverly converted former office block, the hotel was opened in 2016 by renowned hotelier Ken McCulloch. Its interiors, designed by Amanda Rosa, reflect the brand’s signature moody aesthetic, featuring rich textures and a design-forward approach that has earned it a reputation as one of the city's sleekest stays.
Lonely Planet + 2 more“Suave and seductive in dark wood and grey tones, Dakota carries a strong design concept from low-lit basement restaurant to light-filled suites. Rooms are very spacious and feature appealing sitting areas as well as inviting beds.”
Hotel du Vin One Devonshire Gardens, Glasgow
Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire Gardens is a stunning boutique retreat set within five beautifully restored Victorian townhouses in Glasgow’s fashionable West End. Built in 1886, the hotel retains much of its original character, featuring grand sweeping staircases, intricate stained glass, and warm, oak-panelled walls that give the property an authentic, historic charm.
Fodors + 3 more“Once the legendary One Devonshire Gardens hotel, frequented by such celebrities as Luciano Pavarotti and Elizabeth Taylor, the Hotel du Vin Glasgow is still a destination for those in search of luxury.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Glasgow.
Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, Glasgow
Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel is a grand five-star landmark set within a row of elegant 1820s Georgian townhouses. Once a prestigious private residence, the building later served as the headquarters for the Royal Scottish Automobile Club. A fun piece of local history is that during the 1950s and 60s, the square was the official starting point for the famous Monte Carlo Rally, with crowds gathering here to cheer on the departing drivers.
Frommers + 3 more“The rooms are often spacious with luxurious black granite bathrooms, unusually comfortable beds and a sleek streamlined look (think: lots of grays, creams and Midcentury Modern lines). The basement spa is one of the best in the U.K.”
