August 2009Turning Passion into Cash A little gem in the West End  I've just polished off a new page on the Kelvingrove Hotel Glasgow, a little gem of a place in the West End of the City.I really love places like this, where when you stay in them you feel like you're not staying in the City, and maybe that's because it's small, family run and friendly. Have a wee look and see if it tickles your fancy...

Hotel critics this time. I've just completed a wee page on the impressive Ramada Glasgow City Centre Hotel, and on the page I've had to hold back on the folks who've had nothing better to do than to slam it into the ground. As far as I'm concerned, given the quality it presents as you'd expect from such an internationally reknowned chain, this place deserves being in my list of the top ten hotels in Glasgow, and its place there is a sign that people can make up their own minds about where to stay. OK, so you might disagree if you've been there yourself, but please don't look at the reviews online of this hotel and base your decision only on them. I'm fighting its corner here, and hopefully if you do stay there you'll be happy with your choice. Anyway, rant over. I'm off for a lie down...

All new subscribers to the blog will be sent to http://feeds.feedburner.com/lobeydosserglasgow and if you've subscribed already, while it's not strictly necessary you might want to update your feed reader to request this new address. All very technical I know, but I'm just bringing the ol' blog swinging into the 21st Century. Peace out for now. So what's this Theatreland Glasgow stuff?  Yup, apparently there's a Theatreland District in Glasgow - I found it when I was researching for the best hotels in the City, and right at the centre of it is the Express by Holiday Inn City Centre Glasgow Theatreland.What a title eh? So here's my wee page on the place, and you should find that it's a perfect hotel to rest your head after a great performance.

Permalink -- click for full blog post Our One Year Anniversary We've been celebrating this week our one year anniversary on the For the Love of G...lasgow podcast, the official podcast of the Top Ten Glasgow Guide that's managed somehow to be featured by iTunes. So to cast your minds back to the bad old days of the early episodes where we struggled quite professionally to say anything approaching comedy, and where the sound quality attempted to quieten our tragic voices into no doubt thankful silence, in this new episode we thought we'd give you another taste of that. In the words of a certain character in Back to the Future - ah hate horse manure!!. Have a listen anyway now I've sold it to you, and let us know what you think...
