Two tall Victorian houses, well converted into a simple hotel. Everything well cared for, with thick carpets, fresh paint, some nice architectural details. Bedroom and bathroom clean, with somewhere to sit and a dressing table to work at. Free wifi, weak (but adequate) in some parts of the room. Comfortable mattress and I slept well. Quiet within the hotel; comforting... More

In November, my wife and I traveled by car to Glasgow. Kelvin Hotel is very easy to find. It is located in the vibrant West area. We made our choice for Kelvin Hotel as they accept dogs, which is not self-evident in Great Britain. The hotel is in a nice Victorian house with very nice, tidy decoration, lamps, furnitures, carpets... More

this is my second time staying here with a group, clean, friendly, good for a large group, yummy breakfast and friendly staff. it's more of a guest house then a hotel, but sometimes a guest house is a much nicer way to spend a trip. More

My wife and I went for a short break in October half term week. Initial impression is stong and the owner helped us park our car in the small car park at the rear of the hotel. The building is architecturally impressive and the public rooms high ceilinged and airy. Our room in the basement was ok - it was... More

My partner and I are both Glaswegians who now live in glorious Devon. We stayed at the Kelvin for one evening before going our separate ways to see family etc. We could not have been happier with our selection of hotel. The staff were friendly and professional. The welcome and our room were both warm. The entire place is spotlessly... More

'Cannot recommend all at the Kelvin enough. I was in Glasgow with my son, girlfriend and family dog last w/e for my mother's 90th [!] and our stay with them was an absolute pleasure. Comfortable, spotless, good food and nothing too much trouble to help us in any way Sandra could. Not having transport and evening train back to Cumbria,... More

I stayed at this B&B for a wedding at Oran Mor which is just over the road so the location was great for what I needed. I couldn't get my car parked in the free hotel car park (as someone else had selfishly taken up 2 spaces with 1 small car) but I got a space on the road outside... More

We have been using the Kelvin regularly for just over a year now and it’s such a fantastic place to stay. I am writing my second review because all the staff deserve such a huge pat on the back for running a very shipshape and welcoming establishment and this doesn’t happen by accident – it’s very hard work. My partner... More

Very friendly and courteous staff who were always very helpful. The whole place was very clean and comfortable. I was not able to get a room with a toilet & shower, but there were several available in the hall and these were always very clean and tidy. There was a full English breakfast and you were served quite quickly. There... More

The overall package one gets at Kelvin hotel is superb! It's great value for money and the breakfast is amazing. The family there and all the staff are extremely helpful and welcoming. Also, the rooms and the hotel in general is very clean and kept to a high standard. More
