Hotel Details

Location

Set in Glasgow's West End, just off Great Western Road, with restaurants, bars, and shops around the corner.
The property is a 5-minute walk from Kelvinbridge Subway Station, giving direct access to the city centre in 10 minutes, including the Royal Concert Hall and Glasgow Science Centre (2 km away). The University of Glasgow is a 5-minute walk, making it a practical base for university visits. Kelvingrove Park and its art gallery are a 15-minute walk, and the Botanic Gardens are less than 2 km away. The Museum of Transport is a 20-minute walk. Great Western Road and Byres Road, the West End's main thoroughfares, offer an array of restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops within a 5-minute walk. The neighbourhood is vibrant and well-connected by bus and subway, though street parking can be challenging due to permit and time-limited zones.

Accommodation

Rooms are basic, clean, and functional with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities.
The property offers family rooms, single rooms, and double/twin options. All rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Rooms include a tea and coffee maker, wardrobe, carpeted floor, and heating. Some rooms are described as spacious, especially family rooms with up to 3 beds, while single and double rooms can be compact. The decor is lightly coloured but dated, with some rooms in need of refurbishment. Basement rooms have no natural light, and road-facing rooms may experience traffic noise, especially near the entrance or reception. The building is old with single-glazed windows, so rooms can feel cold in winter until the heating comes on later in the day. For a quieter stay, request a room away from the main entrance and road.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, daily housekeeping, and luggage storage are available; no on-site parking.
WiFi is free in all areas. Daily housekeeping is included, and fresh towels and tea/coffee are replenished if you leave used items outside the door. Free luggage storage is available before check-in or after check-out. The reception provides an invoice. No on-site parking exists, but free public parking is available on nearby streets, though some have permit or time restrictions (e.g., Bank Street is resident permit only; Great Western Road has pay-and-display during the day and becomes a bus lane at certain times). The nearest subway station is a 4-minute walk, and bus stops are within a 1-minute walk. The property has no lift, so rooms on higher floors require climbing stairs. No airport shuttle is available.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Confirm breakfast availability and cost at the time of booking, as it is not always included.

  • 02

    Use free luggage storage if you arrive before the 15:00 check-in time or after the 10:00 check-out.

  • 03

    Check-in after 22:00 incurs a £10 fee; plan your arrival to avoid this charge.

  • 04

    Park on nearby Kirklee Road or surrounding streets for free, unrestricted parking, as on-street options near the property are limited and often have time restrictions.
