 minutes of some terrific eating establishments on foot.The room was very comfortable, good bed and small en-suite but all ideal for our needs.We set off after a delicious Scottish breakfast with a big choice of buffet or cooked items.I can certainly recommend staying at The Alamo, very welcoming beautiful / quirky B &B.Plenty to see and do in the area - don't miss visiting the magnificent Kelvingrove Art Gallery &Museum which is a stroll across the park in 5 minutes or so.
The Alamo is ideally placed for Glasgow city centre and the owners and staff are very welcoming.The house and rooms are warm, cosy and interesting and make a nice change from bland, repetitive chains.Vegans catered for wonderfully, breakfast excellent. Thank you.
We were up in Glasgow for an 80th birthday party and never having been before did a lot of research before booking it worked out really well, As stated in previous reviews it in a great spot being near to lots of amenities whilst being in a quiet spot overlooking the park,university. Kelvingrove museum, etc. The building is lovely, our room and the service we received was first class, friendly staff, great breakfasts altogether a very satisfactory experience and the house inside is spectacular, if we visit Glasgow again that will be our preferred place to stay.
We had a great stay at the Alamo Guest House. Our hosts were friendly and very accommodating. The house is very nicely decorated, as are the bedrooms, and definitely makes you feel like you are staying somewhere special. Breakfast was excellent with a fantastic selection. We loved the location for gettting about and eating out. An excellent area for cafes and restaurants!
Great stay in Glasgow at a fab guest house. Service was good. Nice staff. Room well presented, clean and tidy. Lovely breakfast. Will go back again.
Another wonderful stay at The Alamo on the way back home from New Year in the Highlands. We received a warm welcome from our lovely hosts on arrival and settled into our warm and comfy surroundings before heading out to their recommendation of Mother India for the best Indian food I've had.After a peaceful sleep arose to a wonderful cooked breakfast from a vastmenu. I highly recommend The Alamo if you're visiting Glasgow - I will definitely be back!
We stayed at the Alamo Guest House for the second time and were again very happy!Emma and Steve even treated us and our fellow guests to drinks and nibbles on New Year's Eve, which was a very nice touch.The atmosphere and location of this lovely guest house is brilliant.We are very much looking forward to our next stay!
This was the second time that we've stayed here on our way to Skye from Leeds. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade this time to a really plush room! The owners are really helpful and friendly and the Alamo is situated really well, right by Kelvingrove Park. It is a short walk to Argyle Street where there is a plethora of great places to eat and drink. We had a lovely meal at Table 11. Highly recommended, we will certainly go again if we need somewhere to stay in Glasgow.
We had 4 nights here as part of a birthday celebration (low key)Everything was more than satisfactory, with an excellent choice for breakfast and in a great position for getting around The West End.
We have just returned from a short visit to Glasgow and we are so pleased that we chose the Alamo Guest House. It is a stunning house, which is set in a lovely part of Glasgow, and is replete with traditional Victorian features but with lovely modern elements as well including some stunning bathrooms. We were warmly welcomed by the owners and I was impressed by both their professionalism and enthusiasm. I am already planning a return visit in 2017 and will recommend the Alamo Guest House to my friends and family. They will not be disappointed.
I had such a wonderful stay, the Alamo guest house was just what I needed. Clean, friendly, perfectly located, comfortable, relaxing, beautiful, it has it all. I will definitely be returning.
Beautiful house. Fantastic location. Great people.
As with past stays at the guest house, I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. For me, it is the perfect oasis while I am visiting Glasgow. I always feel comfortable. My room was perfect. It is convenient for both the west side and accessing the city centre. It is my first choice of places to stay in Glasgow.
Further to my review I clicked one star, when it should have been five stars!
Just got back from staying here for two nights with my older brother after seeing Marillion in Glasgow.From an architectural point of view, this place is wonderful. It's resembles an old Scottish Lairds house with all the modern conveniences you would expect.It's easy to find just off Sauchiehall Street near Kelvingrove and is easily served by buses and a few minutes from Glasgow City Centre by Taxi or Car.We were greeted by Steve on arrival. Steve did something that has never happened to me before and I have stayed in a few hotels. He shook our hands, asked about our trip and then showed us around the hotel before finally showing us our rooms. It is only a small hotel, but I thought this was a very nice touch.The room itself was a lovely compact room. We were only sleeping there and watching the occasional bit of TV anyway. The room we were was not en suite (most are, this one wasn't) but we had plenty of choices of toilet, shower and bath facilities.Lights are dimmed after 9pm, the official reason is to encourage quiet, however, because of it's old fashioned look, I thought it made it more homely.Bed was comfy, had no problems sleeping. Flat screen TV and a selection of 500 DVD and Blu Ray's from Steve's own personal collection if you require viewing entertainment. (There's snooker on, I'm fine thanks!)Breakfast is half made to order and half buffet. This actually works great. Their breakfasts certainly set you up for the day.I'll be back!
Had such a lovely stay at Alamo guest house. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room one was of the best Iv stayed in, very comfortable bed and the large bath in the room was amazing! Breakfast did not disappoint, even though we were a little late for ours having been out the night before we were still able to enjoy a full breakfast and were not rushed. Any time we are back in Glasgow to stay it will definitely be at The Alamo Guest House!
It was (again) a very lovely stay at Alamo! Comfortable and clean rooms, nicely furnished and very caring staff. I can only recommend to stay here when visiting Glasgow - you wont have such a beautiful view from the breakfast room on to the University tower and Kelvingrove Park anywhere else! By the way, the breakfast is very delicious as well!
Very frienly atmosphere and an extremely comfortable bed. Plenty of good eateries within walking distance. Enjoyed my stay at the Alamo.
On first blush, we felt the property was a little rustic.However the room was very nice and the proprietors very warm and helpful.The location was a great compromise to see the different areas of Glasgow;steps away from the University of Glasgow.Breakfast was very nice with eggs to order if desired.We needed to leave before breakfast on our day of departure and cereals, yogurts and juices were available.
What a lovely guest house in the West End! A beautiful old building with a touch of luxury. The room was sumptuous, being large, immaculately furnished and very easy to spend time in on a cold Glasgow weekend. The breakfast room was again very tastefully decorated. Breakfast was great with a choice of healthy and indulgent options. The staff were always on hand and very friendly and helpful. Location is great - near to the attractions of the West End but also easy to get into the city centre by bus, taxi or a 20 minute walk. A very, very pleasant weekend was had in the Alamo. Well recommended.
Came up to see our daughter who is living on bentinck street and had a fab long weekend. Great room and great atmosphere with very friendly staff.
What a fabulous place to stay, friendly, cosy, beautifully decorated and offering the best breakfast I've ever had, haggis and potato scones included! Very competitively priced too considering the accommodation was far superior to other substantially more expensive hotels where we've stayed recently.
Yet again, a warm welcome awaited us in this glorious guest home.Friendly owners and staff ensuring relaxing stay. Stunning rooms and decoration.Beautiful walk across park to see my daughter at university.
My husband and I had a wonderful week at the Alamo guest house.Emma, Steve, and the whole crew made us feel very welcome.We loved the neighborhood museums and restaurants and the lovely countryside within an easy train/bus ride.We'll be back!
We stayed in room 12 which was the most amazing room we have ever come across.  It was pure luxury at a fantasic price too. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Couldnt have asked for a more perfect overnight.Will definately ne back!
Our first time to Glasgow and how pleased we are to have stayed at the Alamo Guest House. The owners and staff were always friendly and helpful and the the house itself is a delightful building of rich character and interest. An excellent choice of breakfast foods set us up to discover the gorgeous area and wealth of the many nearby attractions - a perfect location. Thankyou for your hospitality and we will certainly return to this lovely city and people.
The Alamo has for some years now been my guest house of choice in Glasgow. It has a wonderful
