The Kelvingrove is a small hotel, just a short walk from Glasgow's great Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery and the lovely Kelvingrove Park. The owner and people working at reception are very friendly and helpful. There is free internet access in the lobby. Excellent full Scottish breakfast included. Our twin room was small but comfortable, with en suite with shower. The Glasgow Tours "hop-on, hop-off" bus stops just down the street and goes to all the major attractions. You can also catch a bus to the airport just across the street. There are restaurants nearby (I recommend Lamora, an excellent Italian restaurant just a block away on Argyle Street, where we went twice. Wonderful food and reasonable prices.)

Stayed at the Kelvingrove the night before flying out of Glasgow, in a downstairs family room facing the street with my husband and two grown sons. The decor was overwhelmingly MAUVE but the room was spotless and comfortable with a small but perfectly adequate ensuite shower room. Some noise at closing time, presumably patrons leaving the nearby "Snaffle Bit" pub, but can't complain too much since my sons were among them! Breakfast very good and served by pleasant staff. Extremely helpful receptionist at check-in. Good location - walking distance to the pedestrianized downtown shopping area and 5 minutes from the Kelvingrove Museum and University. Ask for directions to the great little Italian restaurant - La Mora - that's just around the corner.

  • Liked — Great tips from the extremely pleasant young female receptionist.
  • Disliked — MAUVE!

June 3,2008
I was very pleased with my stay at the Kelvingrove Hotel. I chose it for its excellent location by the Kelvingrove Park, and a short walk to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, and for a guide-book review which promised good service. I was not disappointed! I arrived late the first night, but Valerie, the manager was very friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions, and later with booking a taxi, etc. All the staff, including Vincent on the front desk were friendly and efficient. I had a very comfortable, quiet room at the back, nicely appointed, as was the breakfast room where I enjoyed good food and great service. I would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Glasgow.
