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.

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

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.

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

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.
