Map & live prices by our partner
The cheapest stays cluster in the city centre, especially around Queen Street and George Square, where 2- and 3-star hotels compete for the same travellers. Look for prices from £13 at Safestay Glasgow Charing Cross up to £104 at Premier Inn Glasgow Pacific Quay — the range is wide, but the typical nightly rate sits around £50.
The city centre is the most popular area for budget stays, and it's easy to see why. You can walk to Queen Street Station, the Buchanan Galleries, and George Square in minutes. Hotels like Premier Inn Glasgow City – George Square (from £44) and The Z Hotel Glasgow (from £54) put you right in the middle of it all without the premium price tag.
Glasgow Central is the main rail hub, and several budget hotels surround it. Motel One Glasgow sits a short walk away and offers clean, comfortable rooms from £69. For the most wallet-friendly option near the station, Easyhotel Glasgow City is a 2-star compact stay from just £25, perfect for those who want the location without the extras.
Hostels in Glasgow offer the absolute cheapest beds in the city. Safestay Glasgow Charing Cross is your best bet, with dorm beds from £13 a night and private rooms too. It's a central location, steps from transport links, making it ideal for solo travellers or those who don't mind sharing.
The OVO Hydro draws big crowds, and a few budget hotels are within easy reach. Premier Inn Glasgow Pacific Quay is a top pick at £104, with a 8.9 rating. Ibis Budget Glasgow is also close, offering a budget room from £239 — pricier than typical due to event demand, but you're paying for the convenience.
Glasgow Green, the city's oldest park, is served by a few budget options in the surrounding East End. Kings Park Hotel, at £73, offers free parking and a well-reviewed restaurant — handy for a stay near the park and Hampden Park. The more central budget hotels are a short bus ride away.
In the city centre, £50 can get you a decent 3-star room. For instance, Premier Inn Glasgow City – George Square is at £44, and Holiday Inn Express - Glasgow - City Ctr Riverside is at £36. These are clean, reliable hotels, though you may pay extra for breakfast or parking.
Apartments offer more space and kitchen facilities, but they're less common among budget options. In this selection, you'll mostly find hotels, but some, like the Safestay Glasgow Charing Cross, offer private rooms that feel apartment-like. For a true apartment, look at central options that give you more room to spread out.
The West End is home to Kelvingrove and the university, and budget stays here are a little quieter. Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End is a solid pick at £38, with a strong location for exploring the area's museums. Sandyford Hotel is another great value, at £34, and a short walk to Kelvingrove.
Hampden Park, the national stadium, sees a lot of visitors. Kings Park Hotel is your closest budget option, at £73, with free parking and a restaurant — ideal for match days. It's less central, but the trade-off is convenience to the stadium.
The cheapest option on this page is Safestay Glasgow Charing Cross, a hostel with rooms from £13 per night. For a private hotel, Easyhotel Glasgow City offers compact rooms from £25.
The city centre is the best area for budget travellers because most cheap hotels are concentrated there, keeping you close to transport and attractions. If you prefer a quieter stay, the West End offers budget options like Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End, with prices from £38.
Yes, several. Motel One Glasgow is about a 5-minute walk away, with rooms from £69. Easyhotel Glasgow City is also nearby and from £25, ideal for a short city break.
For a budget stay, expect to pay between £25 and £60 per night. The average price on this page is around £50, but you can find hostel beds from £13 or splash out on a room at Ibis Budget Glasgow for up to £239.
Glasgow's budget hotels cluster around the city centre, where you'll find the highest concentration of 3-star choices — from the shopping-packed Buchanan Galleries to the cultural corridors of Sauchiehall Street. A handful sit further out, like the airport strip or near Hampden Park, offering the lowest prices at the cost of a commute.
At the cheap end, you're looking at from £13 a night for a hostel bed in a converted Victorian building near Charing Cross. For £50 or less, you can find clean, central rooms at hotels like Premier Inn Glasgow City – George Square or The Z Hotel Glasgow. The top of the budget range, around £239, buys a room at Ibis Budget Glasgow, a rate that's often higher than average due to event weekends at the nearby SEC Hydro.
This set of budget hotels is perfect for anyone who wants to explore Glasgow without spending a fortune on accommodation. It's ideal for backpackers, city-break tourists, or anyone on a tight budget. If you're looking for a more upscale stay, consider the 4-star hotels in Glasgow. For those needing parking, check out the hotels with parking page. And if you prefer the West End's bohemian vibe, the central hotels page might not be the best fit — look for options specifically in that district.
