We stayed at the Alamo Guest House over the Easter weekend and had a fantastic stay and will return on our next visit. Location is excellent for West End, museums and town centre is 5 mins on the bus.

Highlights:
* Very warm friendly welcome and goodbye from the owners Steve and Emma
* Family and homely feel of the property
* Large selection of dvds to choose from that can be watched in rooms
* Very clean and comfortable rooms
* Fresh and healthy breakfast (great scrambled eggs!)
* Lots of tourist info in the entrance

A credit to Glasgow!

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Alamo for 24 days with my 8 year old son, out of necessity on a visit back from Australia. I was heavily influenced by the reviews on this website, in particular the mentions of the owners being very people oriented and the place being excellent. I just knew it would be a great stay before I even arrived, and have to say it was everything and more. Most people are there for a few days and off, but even after 3 weeks we were sad to leave again, especially reiss who adored playing with Leon. Steve and Emma have done a fantastic job and it is clearly a labour of love for them(especially Steve's decor and the painstaking work on the ceilings alone!!!) The breakfast is ample and beautifully laid out and as for the location....... say no more as it is close to everything you need, even the open top bus stops 200m from the door.
The rooms ( and we went round them all for a tour over the weeks) are beautifully and tastefully redecorated with flatscreen tvs in most and dvd players with over 330 titles to choose from free of charge. This was a bonus as kept my son occupied when we had any downtime
Overall I have raved about this little diamond to everyone and it helped to really make our return to Glasgow a really memorable time. Good luck for the future Steve, Emma, little Leon and Flash the cat.

“Absolutely Charming!!!!!”

Alamo Guest House

26 Feb 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This lovely guest house has the most welcoming feel to it, the gorgeous Victorian furniture and panalling at the entrance are just a starter for what's ahead. This lovely young couple and their precious little boy, Leon, have created the perfect atmosphere for feeling as though you've just arrived at the home of lifelong friends. The bedrooms' decor continues the charm and warmth received when checking in. All is done with excellent taste with just enough Victorian frill but stopping well short of feeling you'll need loosen your corset to breath! All the rooms have wall-mounted wide screen digital TVs and DVD players. You may choose from an exceptional DVD collection which maybe 'check-out' on only a signature. At breakfast you receive smiles, newspapers and a home cooked meal in a beautiful dining room which over looks Kelvingrove Park. To top it off, there is free wireless broadband so you can stay in touch. In my opinion, very little would be required for complete perfection! Its a delight.

“Steve and Emma's great place to stay”

Perfectly situated in Glasgow with great access to public transport, local eateries and parks, the Alamo is clean, comfortable and creatively refurbushed. Just what you want for a laid back stay. Steve and Emma are friendly hosts and good coversationalists - there when you need them for good advice about restaurants etc but never overbearing. They gave us a fantastic base to discover a fantastic city.
