My parent and I recently visited Glasgow for a long weekend and booked two rooms at the Alamo Guesthouse. The whole experience was memorable. The building is period yet modern, well appointed, spotless and very quiet. The family-run aspect to the staffing makes it private with a very warm welcome. The location is excellent, very suburban and leafy, with good parking (free at weekends), Kelvingrove Park literally outside the front door, within a few minutes stroll of Glasgow University, the Hunterian, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and the Transport Museum, while the city centre is still within walking distance. Alternatively, the city's open top bus tour picks up a few hundred meters from the front door and you can get a weekend ticket for a few pounds. The guesthouse will give you a discount voucher too. We also sampled the local westend restaurants and could highly recommend Blas and the Sisters. For a city weekend break with a bit of class and incredible accomodation prices you really couldn't go wrong with the Alamo.
