Swallow Hotel is a wonderful SURPRISE! Surprisingly cheap, surprisingly good value for money, surprisingly very high standard of cleanliness and exceptionally friendly. We stayed for 2 nights (we last stayed here 6yrs ago!) and the breakfast was great value and considering how busy it was, the food and service was exceptional. A five star stay in a fantastic good clean... More

Booked a 3 night shopping break with Bed Breakfast and Dinner included for £99 with a £10 shopping voucher back. The staff were brilliant, the food great and although some areas of the hotel are in need of update overall the hotel was more than acceptable. The room had been updated but the television was very poor and hardly worked.... More

I stayed at the Swallow recently. The public areas are bright but the room was gloomy. Paper coming off the walls. Towel (one set for 2 of us) that were so thin you could see through them. The radiators could not be adjusted so we ad to open the windo and suffer traffic noise. No Internet access and the leisure... More

Friendly staff, good food, Room clean. It's not the Ritz, but then again I didn't pay Ritz prices. People who have negative comments about the Swallow would probably have the same comments about the Ritz.

We booked the swallow for its location to the ibrox stadium we came from England to see rangers and for the location to the ground it was excellent The negatives are when we checked in the man on reception was more interested in chatting up two girls who weren't even staying at the hotel.
