Places to stay: Glasgow

Gourock is fine the rest no but too far away for a commute.

If one wants a quiet evening away from town...

If you mean near the M8 bridge and Kelvin, I stayed up that way on a contract. It was decent and within easy walking distance of the centre.

But that was back in the nineties, it might be different now. The Hilton was better than the Marriott.

I used to stay at the Menzies hotel (formerly called the Milton) opposite the Marriott.

This was total luxury for a 4* hotel - really large executive sized bedrooms (got a free upgrade all the time from a normal double).

The health club there is absultely amazing for a city centre health club, although I used to go over to the Marriott for a drink as the bar was not so good at the Milton.

This was for a very well negotiated long term rate of £70 per night if I remember right.

For food I did the 5pm.co.uk thing, and dined like a king in Malmaison for there £12 pre-dinner meal complete with half a litre of very fine house wine.

Happy days.

If on a good rate you may as well enjoy the best valued most luxurious hotel you can get for the money in central Glasgow.

Did the Milton used to be called the Hilton? That was opposite the Marriott, and I'd agree is was better. Had a pool too.

There is the Hilton (which is a big pink building), then the Marriott, then the Milton. Just to confuse you all.

I used to work right across the road from the Milton and would go for a quick drink every Friday. Bar was OK. It was used by footballers a lot when they had just signed and had no where to live.

The street the Milton is on is used quite alot as a place to take prossies in your car. I personally would not let a girl walk from the station to that hotel at night on her own.

Anything between the motorway and Central Station that is South of Bath Street should be avoided outside office hours if you do not know your way about.

Alba rented a couple of floors of an old theatre on Renfield Street above starbucks. The building across the street had a lap-dancing club in it. The first floor of the club was where "private" entertainment happened. We had a meeting room that could look right into the room. Not too bad during daylight... Mirrored glass doesn't work too well when it's dark outside!

Sir would be refering to this place...



Got a pick coming back from work.

Never been in it but been asked several times to go, would rather hit the horseshoe for a few pint to be honest. Not really a lap dancing club type of guy.

Took this picture out last night, bit crap as it was on my phone. You just don't see a sky like that in the UK outside Sotland.



Sometimes you wish you had your really good camera on you.

cojak if your looking for a heads up on the place I have been in most joints in Glasgow that hire contractors and you may very well be going to a place I know well.

Well up for that.

The good lady usually does not take the OF match on her season ticket, if yer up for the next one...

There used to be a club opposite the entrance to central station, forget the name, they had dancers. This was 15 years ago.

Got thrown out because I feel asleep.

I've got some sunset shots... give me 10 minutes to dig them out...

I took this picture from the flat on a cold december morning back in 2003
