It was so relaxing to arrive after a very long journey, and be made so welcome. The room was immaculate, beautifully arranged and scrupulously clean. En suite facilities were impeccable. Breakfast was the best I’ve had in 50 years of hotel use. Jennifer could not have been more polite, attentive and professional. Thank you for a terrific stay. We will be back!!

The included breakfast they provide is very impressive, and overall, the hotel staff were very helpful, engaging, and nice. The room we had did have a bit of a musty odor, but it soon went away and was likely due to the age of the building. Overall, it's a very nice traditional-style hotel. If that's what you are looking for, you will enjoy it immensely. There are very nice walks right next to the park, with great restaurants and bars very close by as well.

All good apart from the bathroom design.
We liked the Alamo overall. The only drawback for us was the bathroom set up - which was in the bedroom, arranged in two separate parts - toilet one side and shower the other with an open bath in the middle. This didn’t suit us at all but could be improved by having a curtain that could be pulled across the gap. Apart from this we enjoyed our stay - the breakfast and staff were excellent.

Stayed in Alamo Guest House for two nights this week. From the moment we arrived until our departure they couldn’t have done more to make our stay more enjoyable. Location is central, well-connected by bus to the rail and bus stations, and very attractive (the breakfast room’s picture windows looks out over Kelvingrove Museum and tennis courts). Registration was at the time we’d requested, and time was taken to show us all the thoughtful little extras (a proper coffee machine, fresh milk, complimentary Tunnocks!) Our host Lucy was lovely - welcoming, courteous, friendly and always helpful; despite being on duty night and morning during our stay. The room itself (‘Harris’) was spotless, warm, quiet and looked out over a little courtyard garden. So well blacked-out at night that one of those little plug-in nightlights would’ve been useful for nocturnal trips to the bathroom. The bed was roomy/king size and supremely comfortable. And we really liked the blue tartan stair carpet. But more than anything else, what will bring us back will be the superb breakfasts - a big choice of hot and continental items to choose from, very generously portioned, freshly cooked to order and so tasty! We loved this place and expect to see Lucy and her colleagues again before too long.
