The hotel is very well placed. Close to the university and Kelvingrove. I was a single room with private bathroom across the hall. Facilities are very good and the duty manager was very helpful. Bed was very comfortable and warm. …

Great location for Kelvingrove Museum and the university and worked well as a base to visit lots of other sites around Glasgow by foot. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious with plenty of storage. En-suite is ok but nothing special. Breakfast was great if you want a good quality fry up. All the staff were consistently lovely and welcoming. Would definitely look to use again if we were visiting Glasgow.

From the moment we arrived Joe welcomed us & continued to make our stay enjoyable. Personal service! Rooms are quiet & clean with plenty of room for 2. Bed was very comfortable. Hotel is in an excellent location. Breakfast was very generous & cooked to order. Can’t fault this hotel - it beats most 4-star offerings.

Fantastic hotel near lots of amenities. Joe and Ryan were funny and very helpful. They accommodated my request for a ground floor room. The breakfast was outstanding. Room and bathroom are small, but it’s an old building and you are only in your room to sleep. Great price. Will stay here again.

We stayed for one night while exploring the West End of Glasgow. The hotel is along a main roadway within walking distance of the Kelvingrove museum, park and botanic gardens. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to store our luggage before checking in so that we could walk to various sites unencumbered. The rooms themselves are fairly basic but do come with en-suites. I would honestly give this hotel a better review but for issues with both temperature and noise control. There is no A/C and the night we were there was warm. There was a small fan in the room but it did not work properly so we couldn’t use it. We also had big issues with noise. Kelvingrove Park is almost directly behind the hotel and there was a lot of noise migrating towards the building. Our room was in the back on the bottom floor and, unfortunately, the windows were not noise proof. We were kept awake until near 2 am. There was also a lot of noise from the room above us because the floors are old and very squeaky when walked on. Overall, if you don’t have issues with temperatures and noise, this is a good option that is close to west end sites.

Overall great stay at the Kelvingrove Hotel! I was there for the World Pipe Band Championships. Its proximity to Kelvingrove Park is perfect (5 min walk to the fountain). The rooms are clean and well appointed given how inexpensive the hotel is. The daily Scottish breakfast is quite good and worth the daily breakfast prepaid fee. Joe at the front desk was exceptional. Great service. There when you need him. I’ll be back next year.

Joe was very friendly on arrival. Very close to plenty of restaurants and Glasgow university. The room was small but cosy. Footfall can be heard from upstairs but was never bad enough to be annoying. Tv is to left of bed and can’t turn which isn’t ideal but wasn’t much of an issue for us. Would go back again, great pillows.
