Staff were great, really friendly. Room was on the small side but we were only staying for one night so not a big deal. Could do with a black-out blind on the large bay window, but outside was quiet, apart from some other residents deciding to hold a meeting on the shared landing at 3am. Great location for SECC and OVO Hydro, fantastic restaurants nearby. Breakfast was good, lots of choice, need bigger coffee mugs!

The hotel is functional but dated, The room was warm and comfortable but on the small side. The bathrooms had a terribly noisy plumbing system & the shower had to be turned off half way through so the water didn’t overflow the shower tray. The whole hotel is dated & could do with an upgrade. Be aware breakfast has to be booked at 8pm the night before. It would have been useful to have known this at the time of booking. I was disappointed with this hotel & wouldn’t stay again. It is overpriced

Would not return

The toilets have a mechanism built in that chews up the contents that are being flushed. It is extremely noisy. This is also part of the system for the sink and the shower. Very noisy - every 5 or 6 seconds when using the shower. It also means that there is often a smell of raw sewage, which is extremely unpleasant. The water in the shower ran out every time we showered, so we were left standing in the shower without water repeatedly. The hotel is tired and is in need of its plumbing being looked at urgently. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, but run off their feet trying to cope with a busy weekend.

Solo traveller, 3 night stay

I was travelling solo. For me the Kelvingrove was a nice hotel but not outstanding. The best thing was the staff. My flight was delayed so I arrived after check in had closed but they were happy to wait up to let me in.

The corridors and room felt dated. The room had a large bed but almost too big for the room as the door hit the bed when opening so wouldn’t open fully. There was a slightly musty smell about the room.

Clean enough and mostly quiet, however, there is student accommodation opposite and one night they had loud music until late in the night that felt like it was inside my room!

The breakfast smelt good each morning but I didn’t eat there so I can’t comment.

Little things could be improved such as the fact the bathroom light cord was just a piece of old string. It wouldn’t take much to put a nice handle on it to give the room a little TLC
