We stayed at the hotel last weekend for a wedding party and everything was generally fine. Negative points: - The building is quite tired, especially from the outside. - The local area is not great and the carpark is not secure, so I wouldn't be happy leaving a decent car there or anything with any kit in. - The bar...

We can also host civil ceremonies too. Sorry, can't change the brickwork. I like the location, the Glasgow people are very friendly and helpfull. Our CCTV covers... More

I've stayed at this hotel each year for the past 3 years. It is excellent value for money. It has to be said that the location of the Swallow isn't great and if you're not familiar with Glasgow this might put you off, but don't let it. It is well placed for public transport, and is the right side of... More

My wife, adult daughter and I have just spent 8 weeks staying at the Swallow while major repairs to our home were being carried out. Our recently decorated rooms were warm and comfortable, and the meals were good. The hotel's best asset, however, is its staff. Everyone - housekeeping, bar, restaurant, reception staff and management - went out of his/her... More

I've stopped here on numerous occasions - my preferred choice for parking, couple of beers, bit of sleep and - importantly - its close proximity to the pearly gates of Ibrox Park! Ok, so it's dated and the rooms are a little tired (modern and spacious it ain't) but the basic necessities are all present and (generally) correct. The bar... More
