Hotel accommodation

Having already had some requests from journalists for an affordable functional hotel near to the venue we would like to recommend the Campanile Hotel. This is one of the closest hotels to the SECC and although not luxurious it is comfortable and convenient and should fit tight budgets.

Early Booking is Advised.
