Good hotel on outskirts of city.

Good hotel in Kelvingrove Area. Bus 77 from Buchanan Street bus station stops opposite the hotel. (It is a long walk from city centre). Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room. Did not have breakfast so can't comment on that.

Fab stay at the Sandyford

Excellent hotel had a great room up in the heavens away from the hustle and bustle of a hotel. Comfort was key and they didn't disappoint best night sleep I've had in ages. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Everything you could need within walking distance. Great value for money have returned since and will be staying again soon.

Comfortable room and safe area for solo female

I stayed in 1 of the attic rooms; size, bed and bath were comfortable. There were gaps around the window casement that during winter would be a problem. I stayed during a hot spell and would have appreciated a room fan. No air conditioning (there is a radiator heater) and no lift.
