Great location

Great location right near the park. Easy access from the train station via a bus. One block from a busy Street of restaurants and shops.
Tiana, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

My stay was fine. The weather had turned quite cold and the temperature in the room was fairly low, with no means of turning on a heater. But this was manageable.

All good and very acceptable for the price. Property manager at the time of our stay (Liz) was very friendly and helpful.
Dieter, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Generous breakfast, quiet neighborhood location. Good size room. However sheets and duvet were rough and itchy, bathroom toiletries nearly non-existent, shower very tight, ceiling light harsh and cold, chair cushion broken. However it was less expensive than neighboring hotels
Eileen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great property, very clean and good beds. My only complaint is with their water/plumbing system. When water is used or the toilet flushed their pump system clicks in and it’s quite loud. Woke me up a few times in the night.
Debra, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The infrastructure of the facility was very loud. Plumbing did not work properly. Parking was difficult.
Jodie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was in a good location for where needed to be. The pillows are far to hard had to use a towel for one of us,no shampoo or shower gel in shower it was totally empty and the bathroom light was far to short for my wife to reach good job she was with someone tall! And room 1 was to noisy with traffic and people talking when walking past at all hours as gaps in windows.
Ian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Would not return

The toilets have a mechanism built in that chews up the contents that are being flushed. It is extremely noisy. This is also part of the system for the sink and the shower. Very noisy - every 5 or 6 seconds when using the shower. It also means that there is often a smell of raw sewage, which is extremely unpleasant. The water in the shower ran out every time we showered, so we were left standing in the shower without water repeatedly. The hotel is tired and is in need of its plumbing being looked at urgently. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, but run off their feet trying to cope with a busy weekend.

Christina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very compact room works for a solo guest but couples might request one of the larger rooms. Excellent staff, very clean, moderate price. Super linens and towels but a little spare on shower and bath extras...soaps, lotions, etc and so make sure to bring your own. Great location next to beautiful Kelvingrove Park and Univ of Glasgow.
Daniel, 5-night trip

Really good sized triple room, easy walking distance to lots of restaurant options and safe walk back from the Ovo. Reasonably priced overnight parking just a couple of streets away. Can walk into the town centre and back too. Staff on reception very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again
Mags, 1-night trip

We loved it!

We loved the character of this Scottish Hotel in the heart of the University district. The walkable is wonderful. Staying at the hotel is to savor Scotland herself. We selected The Kelvingrove based on a friend’s suggestion and are very glad to refer others.
