Review Sept 2025 - Stayed here while visiting Scotland for the first time. Actually stayed on the first two nights and last night before going home on this trip . (Very convenient and close to Glasgow Airport) . Rooms are small but very clean. I would recommend to NOT stay on the bottom floor facing the parking lot as there a handfuls of people walking near the windows. Pretty much impossible to let daylight into your room due to passers by lurking in. The inhouse restaurant is also convenient with breakfast and dinner options ( no lunch ). Breakfast comes cooked to order OR buffet style with the food sitting across a hot stone to keep things warm...not all items were warm though lol. Restaurant is also covenient as there is nothing close by to eat at except for Wee Maggies Kitchen. We braced ourselves as there was a Rangers match one of the nights but the Punters were not that out of control and loud-whew! Saw the Buckfast being passed around in the parking lot and had low expectations for a quiet night. But they were well behaved. Only real gripe is the strange toilet flusher built into the wall. Unsure if the cleaning staff give that a once over or not. You do not want to bare hand that plunger as everyone else's " dirty digits" are going inside there- use a kleenex wrapped on your finger. Last things to gripe about is the Samsung hvac unit built into the ceiling. Makes a low pitched sound that may keep you awake if you are a light sleeper and focus on it. Not much shelf room if you are unloading a ton of suitcases either. No hair dryer/ no small fridge either. BUT a bottle opener built onto the desk...(for opening your warm beers : ) Otherwise this is a cheap/ clean option if you want to avoid the Edinburgh airport and expensive tourist trap hotels to the East. Again...cheap/ efficient and very clean. Big shout out to John on staff whom I got the vibes he was possibly the Owner or Manager of this hotel. He is a very accomodating person/ quiet... but with great personality. John is a 5 star guy . Greetings from Canada with roots from Scotland : )

Good clean and modern hotel, would be good if there was a hairdryer. We also had housekeeping come into our room at 7am and woke us up, but apart from that would probably go back if we were back in Glasgow. Parking was suitable.

Stayed here with my wife ahead of an early hospital appointment. The décor has had a nice refresh since my last visit and feels much improved. Emily on reception was welcoming and incredibly professional despite having to deal with a very disruptive guest — crashing into a pair of Irish grannies at the bar, spittle and tobacco flying everywhere , and carrying a smell that suggested more than just perfume. While her colleague managed the chaos outside, Emily was left running reception, the bar, and dinner service single-handedly. It meant waiting over an hour for a salad, but given the circumstances, it was semi understandable. Rooms were clean, staff handled themselves brilliantly, Travelodge certainly could do with more staff on and for unplanned cabaret, Govan certainly delivered.

Just stayed here for 2 nights, whilst working in Scotland (Removals) We were looked after by a chap called John. I’ve yet to meet a more friendly, more helpful hotel employee. Nothing was too much trouble and his level of service and professionalism was second to none. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

The best Travelodge I’ve stayed in. Recent refurb makes it feel brand new (though a bit more obvious they haven’t replaced the carpets). Is still a travelodge but a very good one. You’ve probably got to drive if you want a selection of food places or shops
