The Alamo Guest House, Glasgow

Room was lovely and the whole building was full of character. Very clean and the staff were amazing! They couldn’t have done enough for us! Breakfast is also lovely! They put a lot into their presentation and customer service.

Rooms aren’t very well sound proofed. However, it is an old building so probably not masses that can be done about that. They also have plenty of house rules about noise after 9 which was respected.

Everything was perfect

Nothing

The location was lovely and quiet considering it was in the bustling west end of Glasgow. The room was decorated in keeping with the Victorian period of the house and the staff were very nice indeed. Indeed we slept so well that we nearly missed our breakfast which was lovely.

The location was fantastic and the room was great. We had a separate bathroom and the room was priced accordingly. Robes were provided so it was no issue. Breakfasts were very good and the view from the lounge was lovely.

I loved the decor, it was in keeping with the age of the property

Everything, breakfast was excellent.

Good sized room, lovely breakfast, good service. Nice location quiet but within easy access to the town.

Musty smell in the room.

We had a small problem with the flushing of the loo,also one of the window locks was broken so couldn’t be closed.Courtney was extremely helpful and polite,a great asset.

Please see above Also,I had to cancel the night of arrival from Spain because I couldn’t guarantee arrival before 9pm.

Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We were served a delicious breakfast also. This property is also in an excellent location.

I liked everything about this property but would like more competitive prices.

The breakfast was delicious beautiful hotel friendly staff

Would have preferred a room with a better view & the bed was uncomfortable.

The proprietor was very friendly and helpful as was the staff. The location near Kelvingrove Park can’t be beat.

I think this is a personal preference so take this with a huge grain of salt. I enjoy the quaintness of B&Bs but I’m starting to prefer the solitude and escape of hotel rooms.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The management/staff couldn't have been more accommodating waiting up for my late arrival and phoning me to let me know I had left something behind. 5* guest house, would absolutely recommend!

Clean, comfortable, tastefully appointed

Lower rooms were a bit dark. Carpet was rumpled in places which is a tripping hazard.

Breakfasts are always very good in all the B&B's/guesthouses, but this was on another level for me as poached egg on top of a stack of black pudding & haggis with a base of tattie scone was divine. Location was perfect for us visiting Glasgow as the host city for the 2023 UCI World Cycling Championships. Alamo overlooks the lovely, quiet Kelvingrove Park yet short walk to the best streets in the West End with an abundance of great cafes, bars, restaurants & shops. Glasgow is a vibrant city to visit & we really enjoyed our stay.

Very comfortable & spacious room, amazing breakfast and super helpful and kind staff. Easy to come and go as you please and located in a safe area and across from a park.

I was in a room by the breakfast room/living room and you could just hear people in that room if you wanted to sleep in. Luckily I have ear plugs so it wasn’t much of an issue.

Very pretty place. Liked the bathtub and toiletries, having tea/coffee in room, comfort of bed, tv in room, sink in room, breakfast. Staff was nice and helpful. Liked that it was quiet and within walking distance of transportation, restaurants, museum and park.

Basement room was a little damp. Could provide lighter covers for summer. Tables in dining room were too small (removing the plate liners might help.) Entry should be lit during the day and after hours. Sorry not to have interacted at all with hosts.

This property is ideally located equidistant to the exhibition train stop and the Kelvin Bridge Subway stop, about a 10min walk each way. It is located in a vibrant, trendy part of the city, close to the University and the SEC as well as the Kelvingrove and Hunterian Art Galleries. The rooms are well appointed and suitably grand. But the highlight of this establishment is the personalised breakfast service. Delivered to your table or to your room, it always come with a smile and is always fresh and warm. The veggie haggis is a must try. Special thanks, particularly to Jennifer and Steve for their hospitality. Its this type of service that made me more satisfied with a guest house stay over a commercial hotel chain.

I cannot praise this place enough. From the second we arrived, absolutely spoiled by the amazing host who couldn't do any more for us. The building itself is spectacular, beautifully turned out and with a rich history that stems way back. There is local art displayed and for sale throughout, plenty of information to local attractions and very friendly, helpful hosts to help. Our room was beautiful, the bed was really comfortable and I cannot stress enough how amazing the bedding was - so glad there was no hollow fibre duvets in sight! Our room had a private bathroom which was stunning, lovely deep bath, lots of hot water and additionals including bubble bath which was a lovely touch. There was also access to extras which were above and beyond like a communal fridge, communal dining room to use to bring food in with. It was close to everywhere we needed to be, and the neighbourhood a lovely walk in the evening. Then there was the breakfast, I cannot understate how amazing the breakfast is. The menu had hot and cold options, veggie options and fresh fruit. Coffee was proper cafetiere coffee, the bread was amazing and the cooked breakfast options done to perfection. There was nothing I can say negative about this place, it is hands down the best hotel we've stayed in, ever. We'll definitely be coming back, only difference is it will be for a much longer stay! Thank you so much for having us, we felt well and truly spoiled in your care and your beautiful home.

Absolutely nothing.

A remarkable attention to details A special care towards the client and his needs

Friendly comfortable just what we needed for the event we were attending

Nothing

The property was presented beautifully. Our hosts were very welcoming and knowledgeable about places to visit and places to eat.

The Service was Exceptional. Owner Steve, and Manager Jenn could not have been lovelier or more accommodating. The Rooms were beautifully re-done. the Location is unbeatable, right next to the Park. the Breakfast was delicious. I would absolutely stay there again.

The breakfast was excellent with a choice between Full Scottish and continental. The room was very comfortable with a modern bathroom. For us the location was excellent as we were attending an event ten minutes walk away and there are several pubs and restaurants / cafes a short walk away. And the the city centre is 30 minutes walk, or a ten minute taxi or 15 minute or so bus. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

Minor quibbles such as no hooks to hang towels in the bathroom and the (electric) shower pressure was only good

Delighted to have found this gem! Will be my Glasgow go-to, I have already recommended to friends and family. Cannot fault anything - facilities, room, location, breakfast, staff. 10/10

Nothing.

We loved the staff and location.

The bathroom was not in our room. It wasn't bad though. The toliet was hard to flush.

Great location, beautiful building, friendly, helpful service. Good breakfast. Quiet, yet in a fairly busy area, by Kelvingrove Park, with restaurants and pubs nearby, and easy buses to the centre. Could open the windows for fresh air (as attractive bars on the windows). Shower worked well, plenty of hot water. Use of additional toilet in hall.

The shower in our room (4) could have done with a wall mounted dispenser for gel and/or shelf for the toiletries.
