This lovely guest house has the most welcoming feel to it, the gorgeous Victorian furniture and panalling at the entrance are just a starter for what's ahead. This lovely young couple and their precious little boy, Leon, have created the perfect atmosphere for feeling as though you've just arrived at the home of lifelong friends. The bedrooms' decor continues the charm and warmth received when checking in. All is done with excellent taste with just enough Victorian frill but stopping well short of feeling you'll need loosen your corset to breath! All the rooms have wall-mounted wide screen digital TVs and DVD players. You may choose from an exceptional DVD collection which maybe 'check-out' on only a signature. At breakfast you receive smiles, newspapers and a home cooked meal in a beautiful dining room which over looks Kelvingrove Park. To top it off, there is free wireless broadband so you can stay in touch. In my opinion, very little would be required for complete perfection! Its a delight.

Perfectly situated in Glasgow with great access to public transport, local eateries and parks, the Alamo is clean, comfortable and creatively refurbushed. Just what you want for a laid back stay. Steve and Emma are friendly hosts and good coversationalists - there when you need them for good advice about restaurants etc but never overbearing. They gave us a fantastic base to discover a fantastic city.

A little gem in the guesthouse world, I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation. I had a single room, which was spacious and clean, and my host's were chilled and very welcoming. Nice touches like quality teas & biscuits in the room, great décor and a charming cat !

A warm welcome from Steve was the start of a great stay in Glasgow. The Alamo is a wonderful place to stay, fantastically decorated and comfortable rooms and hosts that can't do enough for you. There are some excellent places to eat and drink within walking distance and Steve can tell you where they all are. We were lucky enough to visit just after Burns Night and Steve even laid on a whisky tasting for guests! We wish there was an Alamo in every city!

What a gem of a place. I'm normally a little wary of booking places blind over the web but neccessity forced me to do so this time, and it's fair to say that The Alamo has restored my faith completely.
The setting is fantastic, overlooking the Kelvingrove museu and the beautiful university.
The accommodation itself is immaculate, get room 3 if you possibly can. The rooms are spacious and more than comfortable and are provided with a television and dvd player-the owner, Steven, has an impressive dvd collection for you to choose from-and as for the bathroom, I was nearly late for breakfast because i didn't want to get out of the shower.
Breakfast itself was great. I had phoned ahead to enquire as to the option of a full english but this is not a given option, but this was really not a problem as the complimentary breakfast was more than adequate and the view from the dining room fantastic.
All in all then, the owners have created a friendly, comfortable and very reasonably priced guest house in the best possible part of Glasgow. I'm very much looking forward to going back.
