Where to stay in Barrowfield
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Glasgow's hotels sit well away from these streets. Barrowfield runs as housing streets between the Gallowgate and the A74, a working corner of Glasgow rather than a hotel quarter, so most visitors searching the area end up with an address in the wider city. Celtic Park stands immediately east.
Anyone set on being close to it looks to the Old Dalmarnock Road side, near the Bridgeton Bus Garage and Sacred Heart Church.
