citizenM, Glasgow

You can’t go wrong with citizenM. Every inch of the hotel is the epitome of trendy, without being sickeningly pretentious, while the affordable rates are a welcome surprise. The high-tech rooms are controlled with iPads, the endless list of free films is a fab touch and the rainforest showers are a little slice of heaven. Arty accents infuse all the communal areas and details such as international plugs go down a treat with seasoned travellers.
