I always find that it is a good idea to book accommodation before I get to a place, it saves you hassle and leaves more time to enjoy the city.

There is a wide selection of accommodation available in Glasgow, the city centre is good but noisy so don't be afraid to go for somewhere on the west end or just outside the city - after all, the public transport is pretty good and easy to use, so you could be into the city in a few minutes!

For those with an unlimited budget try the Radisson and for those backpacking their way around, Euro Hostel is good value for £20.

Friendly and comfortable Scottish family-run hotel. Very relaxing for a weekend away.

On the doorstep of The Isle of Arran, great golf courses and other attractions.

Very nice restaurant and bar, and the rooms were very clean and comfortable too.

I booked for a few days and have since rebooked twice. It is ideally located for seeing the city, the nightlife which is student fantastic but it is also really comfortable and as you must have student/international i.d. the other guests are really cosmopolitan and interesting. Facilities are spot on and abundant. It is spotless and well run.

This is a newly built backpackers hostel, the first in the city to be purpose built but to come with lots of free off-street parking is a huge boon to the car hire afficionados who can whisk into the city and find plentiful free parking. Rooms are for groups of four and six and the facilities in ornate Italian marble are ultra modern and new.

Quaint and quirky with a 650-year- old account of the French-Scots alliance exhibition.

Six by four paintings of William Wallace from etchings at his memorials in Smithfield london and birthplace Elderslie Renfrewshire, two stops from central station and a fair sample of Charles Rennie Makintosh's work and the Burrell collection. This is no run of the mill youth hostel.

Also has a super location opposite the city's Mitchell library and its 100 free computer/internet facilities and around the corner from the exhibition centre.

Attracts an international crowd and has plentiful showers and comfy lounges. Best to book at weekends.

This traditional pub in the Merchant City, Glasgow has a very nice and relaxed atmosphere. No background music, the emphasis is on conversation. Very good pub food at more than reasonable prices. There is also a restaurant on the first floor, with a good variety of game, and they even offer accommodation. A very friendly and relaxed place to meet friends and make some new ones.

Sleek and stylish are the watchwords with this hotel, a converted Greek church in the heart of the city, where you are guaranteed a luxurious stay. Fabulous.
