ibis budget Glasgow & Alea Glasgow
A Clyde-side leisure park pairing a budget hotel with a two-floor casino and a poker lounge.
The ibis budget Glasgow points its guests to Alea Glasgow a hundred metres away in the same leisure park: two floors with river views, doors from noon to 6 am, tables from 2 pm.
Springfield Quay is the leisure park on the south bank of the Clyde beside the Kingston Bridge — cinema, restaurants, a hotel and a casino around a car park, a quarter of an hour on foot from Glasgow Central. The ibis budget Glasgow at 2a Springfield Quay offers double, twin and triple rooms, free parking for guests and a location outside the city’s low-emission zone; check-in is at 3 pm, check-out at noon.
Alea Glasgow is run by Metropolitan Gaming under London Clubs Glasgow Limited, licensed with the Gambling Commission under account 698. The venue’s FAQ says it is “open from 12 noon to 6am daily” with tables from 2 pm, while the homepage banner reads “10am – 6am, 7 days a week”; we show the FAQ figure and suggest checking before an early visit. Two floors with river views hold blackjack, American roulette, three-card poker, slots and a poker lounge with daily cash games and tournaments, plus the Waterfront Restaurant, the Long Bar and a Sports Bar.
The operator publishes no phone number and no dress code on the venue page; both are marked as “ask the venue” rather than guessed. Its website sits behind a bot-verification wall, so it could not be re-read on 18 September 2026.

How they connect
Same estate. Separate buildings on one leisure or retail estate. You cross the estate on foot, not public streets.
Hotel and casino are separate buildings in the Springfield Quay leisure park, sharing the G5 8NP postcode; the hotel’s own page puts Alea a two-minute walk away within the quay.
The pairing rests on the hotel’s or the complex’s own website.
Getting there
About fifteen minutes on foot across the river from Glasgow Central station; the hotel offers free parking.
