“Alexander Thomson's location, steps from Central Station, is the main draw, but the Victorian bones and refreshed rooms create a surprisingly comfortable experience. It feels like a proper city hotel, not just a place to crash, and for the price, breakfast included, it's an easy choice. Glasgow's bustle is right outside, but the solid construction and updated amenities made my stay a good one.”
