My wife and I stayed at the Kelvin for 7 nights in late May/early June and our son, daughter-in-law and 2 year old daughter were there for a couple of nights before and after our touring around other parts of Scotland.
We were very pleased with all aspects of our stay. The location in the west end near Byres Road is within walking distance of many, many attractions as well as the subway and bus routes.
Our rooms were very spacious and clean and the beds very comfortable. The service was excellent, and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The very adequate breakfasts got us off to a good start every morning. We would certainly stay at the Kelvin again and recommend it to our friends.

  • Liked — Quality of the room and ensuite bath

Stayed at the Kelvin Hotel for 3 nights. Had a single with shared bathroom in the basement. Was very comfy, plenty enough space for one. Toilet was always available and clean, shower the same. Breakfast was very good. Staff amiable enough. I used a bus that stopped nearby to get to main part of town , then on return the bus stop is right across the street,very easy to do.

We have stayed at the Kelvin four times and will stay there again when we go back to Glasgow next year. The staff is really helpful, the room my sister and I have been given was great. This hotel is in our favorite part of the city and also on a major bus line so it is easy to get any where in Glasgow.

Thoroughly enjoyed my 3 day stay in this hotel! It deserves more than it is rated: really clean, excellent bkfast, friendly staff, cable tv, all for a bargain price! It was so homely. Recommended for those who going to the vicinity around uni of glasgow and located in a pleasant area with shops, restaurants, supermarkets. only a short bus ride to the city centre too!

Stayed here after been let down by the Botanic Hotel opposite.
In fact it was closed, even though we had reserved a room for two nights.
This hotel saved the day. The staff are super friendly and helpful.
The rooms are spotless. Breakfast excellent. Also there is a small car park to the rear on a first come first served basis. Still better than nothing at all.
Also reasonably priced for the excellent location and closeness to all amenities.
