Premier Inn Glasgow CC Buchanan Galleries

Amazing. Beds are so comfy. Excellent service. Definitely coming back to Premier Inn.

Booked the Premier Plus room which we know is better than standard . Got the 15th floor which was great . Very quiet , comfy room although bed kinda sloped a bit . Everything great but let down by terrible WiFi . Free in this room and they look for a fiver to upgrade. Let’s things down , such a simple thing as that . We would return though if the price was right .

The location and room are acceptable, and the bed is comfortable. The staff is very friendly. However, there are a few issues. The TV is quite slow, and the remote takes about five seconds to respond when a button is pressed. It is frustrating to turn off the TV, as nothing would happen immediately. You'd push the off button again, only for the TV to switch off and back on after a few seconds. Changing channels is similarly sluggish. The main reason for my review is the Wi-Fi situation. I strongly advise against using Premier Inn if you plan to do any work during your stay. The free Wi-Fi offers a measly 1 Mbps download speed. If you attempt to work with that speed, what should take 10 minutes will turn into a 30-minute ordeal, as you'll be waiting after every click. For example, when you click on an email attachment, you might as well go make a cup of tea because it will likely take that long to download. If you opt to pay £5, you can get an 8 Mbps download speed for 24 hours, which should be usable on three devices. However, if you purchase the Wi-Fi on your phone and then try to log in on your laptop, the landing page doesn't show the 'Already signed up? Login' option. This option only appears on the mobile landing page, meaning you must pay again to access Wi-Fi on your laptop. All Premier Inn hotels seem to have this frustrating system in place.

This is the second time we've stayed in The Premier Inn located at Buchannan Galleries. It is in a good location close to the shopping and just around the corner from the bus station that takes you to and from the airport. I find Premier Inns are good value for money. The rooms are always very clean and well maintained. Overall they are of a good size for a short break. I found the breakfast was really good value for money and has something for everyone. The restaurant staff also offered other options that were not set out in the buffet. The options available for dinner were just as good as some of the food on offer in some of the food establishments around the hotel. I would have no hesitation staying here again.

Greatest stay after not the easiest check-in. Room was warm, 2 comfy single beds, extra pillows in the room. Location perfect for the Royal Concert Hall and shopping. Didn't have breakfast, lunch or dinner so can't comment. Would definitely stay again.
