The hotel also enjoys close proximity to a number of attractions such Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, the Museum of Transport, the SECC and the Science Centre, while bus routes on its doorstep make travel to these amenities and other areas in the city even easier.
This family run hotel retains an endearing, homely feel to it where every guest is made to feel truly welcome by its pleasant and hard working staff.
