    This was a simple hotel which proved excellent value and was close to some major Glasgow attractions. What made it stand out was the hospitality, efficiency and welcome given by the staff. They are absolutely outstanding with a great sense of humour and are dedicated to ensuring guests are valued with no demand being any problem. Can't speak too highly of them and happy to return anytime.

    Great little hotel, just what we were looking for location wise. Clean, welcoming and such friendly staff. Free on street parking evening and weekends.

    Everything was so close to this hotel! Kelvingrove art gallery and museum were walking distance. The staff was so friendly and helpful. My brother went out to the bars and the staff gave him an extra key on his way out without even asking for it.

    Brilliant. Spotless clean, comfy beds, great breakfast, amazing helpful staff (Joe and Liz) who had great knowledge of the area and passed that on to visitors. 1 minor thing was the noisy loo.😅 Great location for all attractions, great pubs and eateries. On main bus route. My friend has a mobility scooter that we left outside hotel as she was going to use it later. There was a horrendous downpour and I ran to cover it up. When I got to reception I found it had been lifted into the foyer with assistance from young residents completely dry. Very thankful to Joe and the young group.

    Joe was very nice and helpful. They stored our luggage for us, which was very nice. The plumbing is quite loud, but the water pressure in the shower was amazing. Clean room and bathroom, and fast wifi made for a wonderful stay.

    Our family booked multiple rooms for a holiday stay. We were made very comfortable by Joe the manager. He was so welcoming and made a huge impression on our stay. The rooms are very clean and nicely organized. The breakfast was very nice. The other staff were really professional and attentive. Highly recommend.

    Friendly staff. Small but cosy rooms, good location. Only down side is room wasn't properly cleaned with dust on head bored above the bed and shower shelves were very dirty.

    Stay away from this hotel. Not sure how it has so many good reviews. We had a MOUSE on our room the last night. Nothing on the good review is true. Everything on the bad reviews is true. The rooms are dirty, the sinks are clogged, the sheets are not washed, we asked for the towels to be changed and when we got back the wet towels were on our bed and not where we left them, The rooms are not been cleaned during the day. They were toe nails close to the trash can, The only good thing from this hotel is the receptionist Joe. He is super nice, and helpful but nothing gets done even if you ask for. The noise when you open the water sink or the shower or flush the bathroom is annoying. It is an old very old hotel, no maintenance, it is awful awful

    This was an absolutely wonderful experience! Rooms were updated and cozy, service was exceptional, and the food was delicious. We are traveling around and need to come back so we're going to stay here again on the way back! THE ROOMS: Just what we needed. The shower was hot and the beds were comfortable. Windows opened so we could let in the nice cool air. THE SERVICE : 10/10! Liz is absolutely amazing and extremely helpful. She showed us a number of amazing places we would go and took the time to talk to us and help us find tebest transport. We were so thankful for her and honestly she was the highlight of our stay! THE FOOD: Full Scottish breakfast, delicious! I would definitely recommend staying here!

    As a visitor from the USA, I only had Google reviews and photos to go off when booking. I will tell you that the Kelvingrove does NOT disappoint. The rooms are comfortable, the service is first class, and the location is absolutely perfect for walking the West End of Glasgow. Liz greeted us at check in and our on duty staff was Joe. We were greeted with a smile each morning and he was always keen to learn what adventures we’d had each day. The recommendations for where to visit and where to eat were all beyond explanation. I cannot recommend the Kelvingrove higher.

    Perfect for a short stay. We were there for 1 night, seeing a gig at the Hydro, and it was exactly what you'd want. Great location, we got a taxi from the train station and it was walking distance to the Hydro. Plenty of good food places super close by. Will definitely stay there again when staying overnight in Glasgow. Special shout out to manager Liz, she's brilliant and an asset to the hotel.

    The hotel was amazing. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The location was great and staff were always ready to help. The overall stay was much better than I expected. I would definitely go there again.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Kelvingrove hotel! Managers Liz and Joe are wonderful : welcoming, accommodating, and helpful in every way . All of the staff were friendly, nice size rooms and very clean. Location in Finnieston was great. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 The D. 6 months ago on Google
    Good location as I often returned late at night by foot and it’s located in a safe area. Room very clean, warm and comfortable and I had a peaceful night’s sleep. All the staff I encountered were very friendly. Was very reasonably priced and better quality than what I expected in that price range.

    Really nice place. Ran out of hot water in the afternoon which was a shame. Breakfast is cheap £10...it wasn't too bad bud I'd had better out of the hotel on the Saturday. But other than that really good...WiFi is really strong and never missed a beat. Rooms spacious and clean with hairdryer and wardrobe. Tea and coffee facilities In the room.

    Great value for money, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were spacious and the hotels within walking distance of bars, cafes and restaurants if you need anything

  • 5/5 Steven W. 6 months ago on Google
    Comfortable clean room - good breakfast. Reception and service all good. Great location close to great food and bars. Easy walk to centre for us. Great value and as regular visitors to this area would stay again

    From the outside and the reception area the hotel looks lovely, clean and presentable. Little bit out dated in terms of decor (90s carpets and textured wallpaper) but nothing offensive. We got to our room however and we were less than impressed but sadly we were there for a funeral and didn't have many other choices at the time. We also asked to move rooms but the hotel was fully booked. The room was quite small and felt dark but not bad for the price. We had a decorative pillow on the bed that looked well used and quite crusty. We found large crumbs down the side of the wardrobe and a used eyebrow brush on the floor. There were several cobwebs around the room too. Bathroom quite small but functional apart from the shower, I actually couldn't physically fit inside the shower so if you're any bigger than a size 18 you're gonna struggle. Luckily they did have a communal bathroom upstairs but it did mean an awkward shuffle to and from this bathroom. Whilst on the subject of the shared bathroom, great idea to have that option so families can use it etc but the lights in there are on a 5 minute timer which to be brutally honest is a health and safety risk, I was halfway through showering one of the mornings and the lights just cut out so it meant getting out of the shower, dripping wet and walking across the slippy tiles to the other side of the room to press the button again every 5 mins. We didn't have breakfast so can't comment but at £20 per person I wasn't interested when there are plenty of cute cafes in the area. One thing I will say though is that the staff are bloody fantastic and really nice and friendly. Warm welcome every morning or when walking past the reception so absolutely cannot fault them.

    Highly recommend you stay here. We went to see Paolo at the Hydro and it was a great base. Hydro walking distance and so many great bars and restaurants right outside the door. Liz was so welcoming and accommodating, the room was so nice and warm, big comfy bed, affordable. The 77 airport bus stops here too. Will definitely be back. Thanks Liz.

    Liz, Joe, and the rest of the Kelvingrove troupe were so hospitable and helpful. I ended up changing my sightseeing plans based on Liz’s recommendations, which led to a wonderful day! As a solo traveler, this hotel was perfect for my needs - quiet, friendly, within easy walking distance to everything. Breakfast was delicious. The room was comfortable. The hotel is close to everything without feeling overly busy and loud. I will definitely stay here again the next time I’m in the city!

  • 4/5 Ray W. 1 year ago on Google
    This neighborhood of old Glasgow is about 10 to 15 minute walk from the Scottish events center where the conference I was attending took place. It was lovely to live in the real Glasgow. The hotel is a small traditional hotel that long predated indoor plumbing. As a result they had to carve out about 25% of the room to make a bathroom, leaving the room quite tight for everything else. The small room had very high ceilings with very ornate moldings, but otherwise was redecorated in a pretty nondescript so-called modern style. The bed was large but only so so far the comfort of the mattress. The hotel keeper, Joe, good night have been more gracious. If you wanted to do a movie about a hotel in Scotland in the 1940s he would have played the role. Generally service was excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is not bad. You could order a full Scottish breakfast as well as cold items and they were cooked on site. The location is excellent just a few blocks from the Glasgow art museum a very short walk to the Kelvin Grove gardens which is a huge lovely park and another short walk to the University of Glasgow as well as the aforementioned conference center in the other direction. The neighborhood of bounds with a variety of pubs and restaurants as well as a nearby green grocer which I found quite handy. All in all, though the room was not all that comfortable I would stay there again because it was a lovely experience.

    Room was very clean, only little specks of dirt but compared to other hotels it was one of the cleanest hotel rooms I've slept in. They changed the sheets when there was noticeable dirt and the bathroom was sterile. Bed was also comfortable and plenty of cupboard and drawer space. Only things to note is the room size is smaller than some other hotel rooms and the hotel itself doesn't seem too accessible to people with physical disabilities, this isn't something that affected or bothered me but I thought to mention it for people looking for their ideal hotel. Overall it was a comfortable stay with lovely staff and is a good location for people wanting to travel to the city center and also has some local bars and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

  • 5/5 Charly B. 1 year ago on Google
    Was attending an show at the SEC and the location was perfect. Also only a 15 min walk to town. Gorgeous area. The duty manager Joe was just great! Seper friendly and very accommodating. Big thanks to you! I stayed in the single room, it room was a good size, could hear a few noises around in the morning, but I slept very well. Bed sheets soft and super comfy! Wish I'd have tried the breakfast!

  • 4/5 Manuela 1 year ago on Google
    Very warm welcome. Nice and big room. Good breakfast. Very fair price. The street right outside our room was busy during the day, but ok during the night. However we were glad it wasn’t too warm because opening the window over night probably wouldn’t have been an option. We would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Nick C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely Hotel in a nice area and walkable from the city Centre. But a special thanks to Liz "the legend". We were in dire straits as another hotel had let us down and all hotels were fully booked. Popping in on the off chance, Liz went above and beyond to make a room become available due to a possible cancellation. Without your extra effort we would have been sleeping in the Airport that night. Thanks again Liz.

  • 5/5 Andrew Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I've never received better service at a hotel before coming to Kelvingrove! Liz and Joe were both fantastic people and we very much appreciated their hospitality. The room was great, no issues except for the hot water system was acting up a little. It ended up working properly the next day, but other than that our stay was great!

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 1 year ago on Google
    This was an overnight stop on a short holiday. The Kelvingrove is in an ideal location, very close to the park and museum of the same name. The room was small, but was clean and suited us, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast elsewhere, so we can’t comment on that. We’d have no hesitation in recommending the Kelvingrove to others.

  • 5/5 Tiara F. 11 months ago on Google
    Such a great hotel, perfect location for us and amazing service. Duty manager Joe has been incredibly helpful, and kind. He really helped set our trip off on a good foot. The rooms are clean and quiet, you will be pleased if you stay here.

  • 5/5 Sam G. 1 year ago on Google
    The Kelvingrove was such a cute hotel! The second we arrived, we felt well loved and taken care of. Joe was just the best! It was in such a good location — easily walkable to where we wanted to go. The rooms were spacious and comfy. Truly can’t wait to come back. 💖

  • 5/5 Hm H. 1 year ago on Google
    What a cozy place! Liz the on duty manager was fantastic! She answered all my questions and had great suggestions. We had a triple room with an en-suite bathroom and it fit the bill. We did have to carry our luggage downstairs, but I was aware of this before I booked. The hotel is in a great location and I would definitely book again. Kudos again to a warm welcoming staff!!

  • 4/5 Rebecca R. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed at the Kelvingrove Hotel for three nights in January 2023. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The room itself was immaculate and the beds were comfortable. The only minor issue was that you could hear a lot of noise outside (especially drunk people at 3am) but luckily this didn’t really bother me, it’s only if you’re a very light sleeper that this might disturb you. Overall our stay was fantastic and we will certainly be returning in the near future. A huge thank you to Joe and Liz who made us feel very welcome.

  • 5/5 Connor L. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed there 2 times recently for a couple of concerts. Joe on the front desk was incredibly polite and helpful with any questions we had during our stay. The area is fantastic with shops nearby and a few bars and food locations. Parking outside is metered but not awfully expensive. Will 100% stay again in the future

  • 5/5 Mick T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good value hotel, fantastic location in West End with lots of good restaurants, cafes and bars nearby. Handy location for events at the Hydro and SEC. Friendly service, particularly from receptionist Liz who gave us lots of good recommendations of places to go. Room was clean and comfortable and perfect for a weekend away.

  • 5/5 Ivy B. 11 months ago on Google
    I wish I could give more than five stars! The hotel is so cute and perfectly situated. Very close walking distance to the Kelvingrove Museum. 10 extra stars have to go to Joe!! He has made our trip extra special. He has gone out of his way to make us comfortable and given us help. We are sad to have to leave him

  • 5/5 Darren G. 2 years ago on Google
    The Kelvingrove Hotel was an amazing stay. The room was cozy and well. The bed was a bit firm for my preference though. The staff was attentive and super friendly. Joe who was the head of house for most of our stay went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of and had all we needed. We love our Joe. Liz was very friendly as well. If you’re traveling by plane to Glasgow, the 77 bus line 77 will stop within 100 yards of the hotel, so depending on the time of your arrival you can avoid the taxis and see the beautiful sites for just under 5 £. I will definitely be staying here on my next trip to Glasgow!
