There was free parking available by the street side from 6pm to 8 am, a couple of restaurants nearby. Our rooms were at the basement and stairs going down were a bit narrow and could be an issue for older people.

We stayed in the Guest House opposite the Hotel. Check in was a breeze and room was really easy to find, clean and welcoming with a big bathroom. Breakfast was served in the hotel and was probably one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a hotel in Scotland. Overall a great stay, will go back again and have already recommend to others

Roni

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The lift needs maintenance. The beds are atrocious. Every spring jabs into you all night long. Have they not changed the mattresses since turn of the century? Originally we were placed in a basement room that was hot, stuffy and claustrophobic, all for the price of $600 Canadian a night. The place was truly abominable, we had to move to another hotel after one night since we couldn’t stand how noisy and hot and unpleasant it was. Some mention the fabulous breakfast, the only thing that was palatable was the coffee and yoghurt with some frozen fruit on top, which they have a very limited supply and ran out fast. Save your cash, run far away and stay anywhere else, a park bench perhaps??

Pleasant stay - nice location

An older style guest house, opposite the affiliated Argyll Hotel (where you have to go to check in). Our room was quite a reasonable size and comfortable, although we had to go downstairs one level and then back upstairs again, so for people with limited mobility our room would not be a good choice. The check in was friendly and quick, the room was quite clean and the location is good, close to Kelvingrove Museum and Park, and with plenty of pubs and restaurants around. If coming by train it is a bit of a walk from Glasgow Central, otherwise about 20 minutes from Kelvinbridge Subway station.

Disliked: Staff & service
I was disappointed at the service on check in/check out. Minimal conversation and poor customer service from the individual checking us in and out. Very disappointed when booking a double room to be given a small double bed. Staff should explain better where to locate your room. I would like to see a more personable, friendly and welcoming experience, with more transparency and clarity on what you are being provided.
