Stayed here for 4 nights on business as I wanted to keep the costs down. I stayed in a spacious and very clean twin room for £30 a night, considering that a Travelodge would generally cost the same the two are worlds apart.

My only minor gripe was that the extractor fan in my room made a racket when the high winds blew back which woke me up twice one night, but hey if that's the only niggle for £30 a night then the place is near perfect.

Good location and right next to two train stations, breakfast is superb too. I agree with previous reviewers, Ron loves to talk and promote the delights of Glasgow and its history but he's well intentioned and an mine of information.

In short the place is great.

  • Liked — Overall quality of the modern spacious rooms
  • Disliked — When Ron's over friendly dog (who is usually well out of site) said hello

Its just as the other reviews say - friendly welcome, clean pleasant surroundings, copious continental breakfast and all at a reasonable price.

The railway is just round the corner with another one 5 minutes away and its very cheap to get into town by train. Ron has lots of information if you need it and welcomes you like a friend. Great place.

  • Liked — Cleanliness and comfort
  • Disliked — Parking can be a problem at the weekend

Barrisdale is amazing. The room we were in was big and clean. It was a little chilly, but worth the money.

Ron, the owner, was very helpful and kind. Word of warning: he likes to chat (but I personally found it enjoyable).

The location was great - it is half way between George square and the Kelvingrove/University. There are two train station within ten minutes walk, and Ron is good about telling you what trains to take to get to where you want to go.

The Three Craws pub is just down teh street and serves really good food (which serves food until 9:00pm and you must order it at the bar).

I loved Scotland so much that my husband and I are going back at the end of our excursions in Europe and we will be staying at Barrisdale again.

  • Liked — Location and owners
