Got a couple of friends coming up to Glasgow from down south in March and they have asked me about the Pond hotel, Lorne Hotel and the devoncove Hotel as they are reasonable priced and near west end.
Has anyone been to any of them and is it easy for them to take guests back to their room??
Ps: My friends are a cpl so no a group of guys |

I’ve actually stayed at all of these too the old pond hotel is probably the best of them and even more so for taking folk back the other two are really just cheap places to put your head down |

Thank you for the reply. Can I ask if the bar areas were good and how the rooms were. Only going by pics on the hotel sites all 3 look great but not much on bar areas etc x |

Tbh I’m not a drinker and don’t really tend to use bar areas but the old pond is a much bigger hotel and it’s a decent size so again I’d say it was better bet it’s a bit out the way though compared to the other two |

Hi.
I have stayed at the Pond and the Lorne a few times, both ok and never had any problems taking a guest back, the Lorne has two or 3 bars and the Pond has 1.
The Lorne has a better choice of places to go round about it but the rooms in the Pond are better.
I would happily stay in them both again.
Hope this helps |

Can't vouch for staying in any of them but in terms of location, the Lorne and Devoncote are pretty central (although on the outer edge of what I'd say was west end) so lots of pubs and restaurants nearby and a busy area. Parking can be awkward though because of that! With the Pond, you're practically in the suburbs. There's really nothing near it bar a hospital and a garage. Plenty parking though and easy enough to taxi to somewhere if you wanted it. Been years since I was in it (I grew up nearby) but was always quite pleasant for a meal! |

"Sorry for jumping in this post but I’m in Glasgow April for one evening stop over and are any off these hotels near the railway station x "
Might be a good idea to say which train station we have more than 1 |

I’ve stayed at the Lorne a few times and it’s fantastic. Surrounded by amazing restaurants too, with Ox and Finch being right across the road. Hotel du Vin at 1 Devonshire Gardens is lovely also.
CitizenM is a good option if you want to venture towards City Centre. |
