Sandman Signature Glasgow Hotel

Sandman Signature Glasgow Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay at the Sandman Hotel in Glasgow. From the moment we walked in, the staff were welcoming, kind, and genuinely happy to help. The hotel itself has a great artistic, modern vibe with stylish design touches that make it feel creative and cozy rather than cookie-cutter. Huge bonus points for being so dog-friendly! Our pup was treated like a proper guest, and it made traveling so much easier knowing pets are truly welcome here. Comfortable rooms, great atmosphere, and a fantastic central location for exploring the city. Would happily stay again and recommend to anyone visiting Glasgow (especially fellow dog parents!)."
