As a frequent visitor to Scotland, and having stayed at many many Scottish guest houses, the Alamo is my very favorite place to stay--just like home, except better! In the past year, I've enjoyed 3 different rooms at the Alamo--all of which were extremely comfortable, and beautifully appointed. While the ensuite facilities are certainly nice, the shared facilities are spacious, scrupulously clean and quite convenient. The breakfast is tasty with healthy options and the filter coffee a godsend :) The breakfast room is gorgeous from bottom to top (check out the intricate ceiling painted by owner Steve) and from inside to outside--the view of Kelvingrove Park through the beautiful breakfast room windows is amazing in summer or winter. The library of loaner DVD's and encouragement to use the breakfast room in the evening while you enjoy your take-away means that you can enjoy an "evening in" after a long day sightseeing or shopping in Glasgow. The "over the top" aspect of the Alamo Guest House has to be Steve, Emma, and rest of the Alamo staff who are genuinely cheerful and helpful. It is refreshing to find great accommodations at such a reasonable price in a fantastic part of town. Highly recommended!
