Took my Son through to Glasgow for a week (20th Aug-25th Aug) and stayed at the Devoncove hotel on Sauchiehall street. It is situated at the far end from the city centre, which is still only a 20 minute walk away, thus is surrounded by restaraunts (Indian, Korean and Greek) within a stones throw of the hotel.
Further on, in the surrounding area, there are a number of other eateries within a reasonable walk. Also the nightlife increases dramatically within a 5 minute walk, yet the hotel itself is in a quiet enough corner for families to enjoy without fear of running into drunken louts.
For the drinkers, there are a number of pubs near by (which also supply meals) though Glasgow in general wont accept children in licensed premises after 8 pm. This proved to be a problem on Wednesday night as we searched for somewhere to eat and watch the Scotland match on sky tv. Eventually we had to grab a take away and return to our room and make do with watching england get beat on terrestrial tv.
The hotel offers B&B facilities, though they plan to expand later this year and improve the dining facilities to offer evening meals also. The choice on offer was just right, cooked breakfast in buffet style for the hungrier traveller, and continental for the less fullsome figured. Suffice to say I plumped for the cooked breakfast on the first 2 days but couldnt keep it going and settled for the lighter continental style later in the week.
The staff are kept well busy by the demands of guests who appear to think that a 3*** hotel should be able to provide 5***** service. They were never less than pleasant throughout our stay and indeed were most helpfull when we required some local information on travel arrangements.
The room was clean, extra towels were provided on request (which was handy as we went through them pretty quickly with all the showers we were having after runs and walks) and the beds were comfortable. What more could you ask?
Kelvingrove Park is just a 2 minute walk up the road. This is a little oasis within an otherwise busy part of town. I spent the early mornings running round the entire park and can confirm that some of the slopes are every bit as steep to run up as they look.
The Art gallery and Museum are situated within the park, though they will need to be visited on the next stay as our week was pretty full and didnt allow for a full investigation on this occasion. We did manage to visit the Transport Museum across the road from the Art Gallery, which will certainly bring the memories flooding back to those of a vintage age (I include myself in this as I kept seeing cars that my Father owned). An accessable car park behind the hotel is another major plus point for such a location, as every other parking space in that part of town is pay and display (for a maximum of 3 hours, which is hardly ideal).
The bus route in to town runs outside the hotel, for those not wishing to burn off the copious breakfast, and would be handy if it rains (what, in Scotland I hear you ask!!!).

All in all this was a pleasant stay at a pleasant hotel run by pleasant staff.

The Devoncove is not the best 3*** I have stayed in during my trips to Glasgow but it is clean with bright rooms, friendly staff and a reasonably good breakfast (but a queue at certain times which is a bit of a pain). The hotel's website is somewhat misleading as I would not in any way describe anything I encountered as "luxurious" - think ikea or mfi and you'll be on the right track.

I stayed two nights which was fine but would not have wished to stay much longer as the washbasin in the bathroom took forever to empty and the hot water tap did not work - there was an attempt to fix it but not much improvement.

Reasonable value for money ( paid £60 per night twin) and I would stay again as the West End location is quieter than city centre but still close to public transport and shops.

If the Devoncove revamped its fixtures and fittings it would be a good above average 3***

Thankfully, only had to stay here for one night. Everything fine on arrival, staff friendly enough. When we got to our room we discovered that our window wouldn't close and our door didn't lock. The receptionist came to the room to fix the window and very nearly injured herself in the process. The door could not be fixed but we were assured that no one could enter without a key. The room itself was tiny, and quite shabby. The curtains were far to big for the windows and were actually falling down at one side. There was mildew on the tiles in the bathroom and extremely bad lighting. There was only a tiny bar of soap in bathroom and a metal unit, which had clearly come off the wall, was sitting on the floor.
Breakfast the next morning was not great either. We asked for a table for two and were told that they had none. The staff then pushed two tables together which where at completely different heights and told us to sit. My husband had to ask for tea three times and when I asked for herbal tea, I was met with a blank expression.

Very friendly place, we were a bit concerned when we walked up to the hotel as the hotel next door was all shut up and not a very nice site BUT the Devoncove hotel was very much up and running. The reception staff were very helpful, I needed to use the web and when we asked where the nearest one was one of the staff said around the corner but a gentleman a little higher up said I could use his we were pleased as we needed to do a on-line airport check in as we were leaving very early the following morning. Breakfast was fine and HOT, rooms were very nice and newly decorated, one problem was the walls were very thin and could hear the couple next door when they spoke, but wasn't in the rooms for long only for sleeping! They were clean & tidy and we would stay again if in the Glasgow area.

Stayed for 3 nights for site seeing & the Rod Stewart concert, which was fab.

Lets get 1 thing straight, when you pay for a 3 star hotel, you get a 3 star hotel! This was nothing better, nothing worse!
Pro's: Good location, friendly staff, close to SECC station, good breakfast.
Cons: Next to busy noisy road, old fixtures and fittings...can do with a revamp, small rooms!
Would I stay here again?...Probably not, unless I have no choice, BUT this hotel is not that bad if you are not fussed.
Would suit singles or couples better than families.
