“Sandyford Hotel impressed me with its independent spirit and location-Sauchiehall Street puts you right in the mix of Glasgow's best shopping and culture. I found the family-run atmosphere a real plus; it's not just a place to sleep, but somewhere that clearly cares about its guests. For the price, and especially with that full Scottish breakfast, it's a smart choice.”
