    location advantage
    parking challenges
    stair access

    Proximity to the University of Glasgow, close to botanical gardens, stylish overall hotel design

    Inadequate window coverings need addressing for better sleep comfort!!! Access to rooms on higher floors is a hassle due to steep stairs!!! Wi-Fi issues on upper levels require improvement for modern travelers!!! Parking is an absolute nightmare in the vicinity!!!

    delicious breakfast

    easy access to parks and vibrant neighborhoods for city strolls

    During my stay, I was thrilled to find that the hotel was just a short walk from the stunning Glasgow Botanic Gardens and the lively Ashton Lane, making it perfect for weekend explorations. plus, the breakfast was amazing with a wide continental selection that fueled my day of adventure.

    cozy lounge
    spacious pool
    limited breakfast

    The vibe here is great, especially with the cozy lounge area and the lovely outdoor seating. I really enjoyed unwinding at the spacious pool and soaking in the hot tub during my stay. The breakfast could use a little more variety, but overall, I had a fantastic experience. 😊

    Request a room on a lower floor to avoid the numerous stairs, especially if you have heavy luggage.

    quirky decor
    clean bathroom
    good breakfast
    non-ensuite room
    low shower pressure

    the alfred hotel is super cozy with nice lil quirky items everywhere. our breakfast was beaut with fresh linen n flowers on the tables. the staff were real chill, and the wi-fi worked in our room which was cool. also, props for the clean bathroom and the slippers n bathrobe vibe was nice, makes u feel comfy.

    only thing was the non-ensuite rooms are kinda annoying n there wasn't much pressure in the shower.

    stunning views
    delightful breakfast
    friendly staff
    inconsistent water temperature
    limited breakfast options

    i recently celebrated an anniversary and stayed here. the room was on the top floor, offering stunning views of the hills beyond glasgow, which truly made the experience special. breakfast was a delightful spread with freshly baked croissants and a variety of organic juices, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

    the shower had inconsistent water temperature.

    friendly staff
    good breakfast
    lack of en suite bathroom
    poor wifi
    inadequate sound insulation

    The breakfast offered a delightful assortment of local vegetables, and the staff's friendliness made a significant impact. the lack of an en suite bathroom in the room was a notable inconvenience for a senior traveler. The WiFi on the top floor was also poor, and the room I stayed in required better sound insulation to ensure a more peaceful night’s sleep.

    decorated room
    nice breakfast
    modern bathroom
    low water pressure

    I had a lovely experience with a pleasantly decorated room and the breakfast was nice, though a bit basic. The bathroom was modern but lacked water pressure. I'd return.

    I was absolutely charmed by the blend of historic decor and modern amenities. My spacious double room offered gorgeous views of the rolling hills, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploration. The quirky antique furnishings throughout the hotel created a unique atmosphere that truly made my stay special.

    spacious room
    quirky decor

    would like to stay here on the next trip

    The room was super spacious and stylish, featuring a flat-screen TV, plush towels, and a shower with good pressure. The bathroom had body soap and a hairdryer. Breakfast had a decent selection, especially the pastries, and the dining area was decorated nicely with flowers. Great location near good cafes and the university. Loved the quirky decor!
