Premier Inn Glasgow (Milngavie)

Unfortunately this hotel seems to be in need of a total refurbishment. The staff are lovely, however the hotel is starting to look shabby. The bathroom smelled damp and the room thermostat didn’t seem to work. The room was boiling all night at 27 degrees which made my daughter so ill she was unable to attend the family party we had come 250 miles for. It was only 14-15 degrees outside. This begs the question of was the heating on? The restaurant was shabby and half closed. Again, staff were lovely but they ran out of several items for the cooked breakfast to the extent that on our final day they were only offering continental- when we had paid for cooked. All in all, I have stayed here many times but won’t be back until it has improved. For £100 per night plus breakfast I will find a better deal.

Comfortable room 200, handily by the lift, comfortable bed, okay breakfast. However the premises could do with being spruced up, notably the building exterior and the restaurant. We were let down by our room having been forgotten by housekeeping on day of arrival, though the duty staff rallied round quickly. We are fans of Premier Inn but this was a bit disappointing.

This is my 2nd visit to this hotel. The location is great if hiking the West Highland Way as it is only about 1/2 a mile from the start. It is a typical Premier Inn. The rooms are a bit dated, but the price is good. We reserved a full breakfast for our visit, but on the morning we were there, only continental was available. It was a good continental breakfast, but I really wanted something more before starting our hike.

We booked as we were attending a wedding nearby. The hotel has reasonable prices. There was ample parking and it was quiet. We booked for early check in but this wasn't something reception appeared aware of or had prepared for albeit we got our room without issue when this was clarified. The rooms are dated. The bed was very comfy but there's repairs needed in rooms, some things looking a bit worn. It was clean though. The temperature in the room was unbearable. It was so hot overnight and there's no means of cooking this down particularly when the windows only open a little bit. We booked in for breakfast the next day. It seems this was not staffed properly and was disorganised chaos. Lots of dirty tables with plates on them. The cooked breakfast came out quick. Continental breakfast was fine too, but bread was stale. It wasn't awful, just very basic. I wouldn't rush back here again and would likely only book if there was nowhere else.

This very functional hotel is not the Ritz, but it is the best spot for launching your West Highland Way. I have stayed here for the start of both of my WHW hikes. The location allows you (walking) proximity to the actual start as well as to a few local restaurants (Garvie & Sons) for your dinner the night before. It is a clean hotel with a bit of a need for updating, but guests have access to a solid breakfast and while the hotel is understaffed, those that do work here are helpful and professional. A good choice.

Stopped overnight before going to walk the Way with my son. The bags got picked up promptly immediately outside by Ginger Routes who were known to the staff and advised when and where they'd arrive. Short walk from the station then back again in the morning to the start. Good start to the day.
