Stayed at the Alamo in May for one night, though my aunt stayed approximately one week.

We arrived from Oban in the evening as our flight to Canada was very early the next morning. When we got to the Alamo, our room was below ground level. The proprietor was painting the adjacent bedroom with oil based paint. We were then informed that the small room we were in had been painted that day, and that new carpet had been laid, using an adhesive. The smell was unbelievable...and quickly triggered my alergies. I had taken medication which made me drousy and ended up asleep. Woke in the morning to discover that, despite telling the proprietor, quite angrily that it was not appropriate to paint and lay carpet with guests present, that he had stayed up all nite...continuing to paint. The end result of my stay at the Alamo...threw up 4 times while in the line at the airport...sickest I have ever been in my life on the flight home...sick from work for a week...and the summer having to use a steroid inhaler.

All in all, a good location, but the owners were extremely inconsiderate of their guests' health and well-being. A vacation I paid for, for a long time. Go elsewhere!

We stayed here for one night on our way to Oban, and couldn't have felt more welcome. The owners were away but the lady and her daughter left in charge were very friendly and eager to please. The room was lovely with high ceilings and a victorian feel, there was no en-suite but who cares when we saw the bathroom next door, this had a wonder big round bath and even had candles if you felt like a good long relax. There was a good choice for breakfast and every effort was made to accomodate our 3 year old son who is a very fussy eater. The view from the dining room over kelvin park was an added bonus, also very good for walking off the big breakfast. we parked right outside the door during our stay and caught the bus into the centre of Glasgow from the bus stop just around the corner. very good for my father in law who walks with a zimmer. Thank you, will stay again and recommend to our friends and family.

We stayed in 2 rooms over 4 days and loved both of them. The first room was a double en-suite, which I was initially a bit disappointed that it was on the lower ground floor and not overlooking the park. But the room made up for my initial disappointment. It had a mixture of Victorian and French furniture, with a brilliant slate tiled Ensuite. The second room was not an en-suite and again I was a bit apprehensive of this, but the room once more made up for this, with high ceilings and a huge mirror over the bed and a lovely chandelier. The full Scottish breakfast was lovely and it was an added pleasure looking over the park from the dining room. The staff and guest house owners were very friendly and very helpful. Plus the location of the guest house is excellent, right in the middle, between the city centre and the west end of Glasgow. Flash the cat was a bonus.

This was the seventh of eight bed and breakfasts we stayed at on our honeymoon to Ireland and Scotland. We would probably not stay here again.

The location was excellent, and probably the best aspect of this guest house – next door to the Kelvingrove Museum, about a 10 minute walk to the subway, and about a 15 minute walk to the city center. There were plenty of cafes and restaurants close by. Our hosts were very nice, were helpful, and cooked good breakfasts. Our room was not good though. The bed was quite uncomfortable, had a thin mattress, and was of poor construction. The ensuite bathroom was literally part of the bedroom. You could watch someone shower from the bed. There was no door separating the bedroom from the toilet – rather a saloon-style swinging gate, which was quite awkward, even for newlyweds (see photos).
