Glasgow Travel Forum

Hello Glasgow,

Next week I’m attending a training course at the Stow College Campus on Hotspur Street, Maryhill.

Any advice on anything would be useful (things to do, things not to do, places to eat etc) and any info on hotels near the venue would be particularly welcome.

Regards

Mark

How much spare time will you have to go and do stuff? There is loads to do and see in Glasgow, but depends on what you're interested in and museums and art galleries etc are obviously open during the day only. Unfortunately I'm busy evey evening next week except Wednesday but if you want to meet up then let me know. Can't really help with hotels but I'll try to remember to ask in work tomorrow.

Sorry, I've not had a chance to ask about hotels and I'll only be in very briefly tomorrow. If you look on the visit scotland site (I think I have the link on my Glasgow page) you'll find information there. Hope you have a good trip in any case.

Apparently there's a Holiday Inn Express right opposite the college, but Stow College is very close to the city centre so if work are paying there are various hotels there like the Hilton or the Marriot.

A thousand pardons for ignoring your replies, I had a mad week and was off line until I got back from Glasgow, which was as wonderful as ever.

I took the advice of a colleague (and ignored just about every review on the internet) and stayed at the Central Hotel because I went by train and it is at the station.

I thought it was great (I got a staff rate) an interesting place and I would stay there again but then I’m weird.

Once again thanks for taking the time.
