Hotel The Merchant City Inn
52 Virginia Street, Central Glasgow, Glasgow, G1 1TY, United Kingdom – Great location - show map – Subway Access
The proprietor was very friendly and helpful. He greeted us warmly, and then upgraded our room at a discount because I had a foot injury just prior to traveling and could not navigate the stairs. Every morning he asked what we planned to do that day and had great suggestions of activities to include or ways to get around to enhance our adventures. His real person to person interaction made our stay exceptionally good.
United States of AmericaFriendly warm welcome and staff great and nothing to much bother at all Thanks for a warm and lovely welcome xxx
United KingdomRoom was clean and warm, location ideal for Glasgow central. Continental breakfast included, upgrade to cooked breakfast only £3. Staff friendly and helpful. Ideal place for exploring Glasgow, walking distance to Central station, Argyll Street and Enoch Centre. Lots of eateries and pubs very close.
