Lovely, traditional building”

We stayed for a city break from rural Oban and we found the staff incredibly helpful and friendly. We stayed in both nights for dinner and they were happy to assist when receiving takeaways. Everything was very comfortable and, although the bathroom was supposed to be shared, we had sole use of one because of the positioning of the rooms. Just a tiny little improvement and that would be to clean the dust which had gathered on the extractor fan in the shower room next to the dining room. Also, the parking can work out quite expensive as it works on the meter system from 8am to 10pm everyday. It would not deter me from staying there again. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Pros - location, price, security to access your room. Cons - not a con per se but perhaps when you look to book it could be clearer that you go elsewhere in Buckingham Terrace to check in and also for breakfast?

Cheap option near the University and Botanic Gardens.”

The location is great for University or Botanic Garden access. Parking is convenient if one of the two or three spaces are available outside but otherwise it is a fair walk to a public car park. The rooms are dated but clean. Breakfast was served in the small dining room which is not ideal under the current corona virus conditions and does not allow for social distancing or suitable hygiene.

Really good vale, good location”

We only had a 2-night stay, so a budget hotel was what we wanted. We chose a basic double room, shared bathroom, and it was fine for us. The double bed (Room 4) was on the small side, so if you're very tall I would check before booking. The Kelvin is virtually next to the Botanic Gardens, with frequent bus services to the City Centre and a short walk away from Kelvinbridge tube station. We were surprised to find, though, that a bus ticket to the Centre costs £2.30 and the tube a flat rate of only £1.70. There is an assortment of eateries & shops in the neighbourhood. Our room, although below street level, was very quiet. The breakfasts are very good value, with cereals, fruit, yoghurts, bread/toast/croissants buffet and also a cooked meal to order if you want. Billy was a marvellous host, very courteous and professional. If you want a basic place to sleep for a short break. I recommend this hotel.

Very good stay”

We had a double ensuite room at the top floor, which was very nice and totally quite. The heating was a bit hard to handle (either too warm or too cold) but beside that we really liked it. There was a good (full english) breakfast included which was promptly served. As the price of the room was rather cheap for Glasgow we have been very positively surprised about the amount of service and comfort we got for it. The area is not super central, but nevertheless offers a lot of sights that are in walking distance. There are also some really nice options for eating and drinking closeby. Overall we can highly recommend staying here.
