Thanks to Billy at the reception for his helpful service Lily Fitzpatrick2025-05-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We originally booked one night but ended up staying for three. The staff were so kind, especially Tahir. They allowed us to lock our bicycles inside, which was very reassuring. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Location was close to shops, bus stop and centre of town (5-10 mins on the bus). We would recommend this hotel!

GOOD Based on 331 reviews BettyJScotland20132025-06-05Verified Perfect and peaceful Clean, comfy and perfect location. Friendly and enthusiastic welcome. Wonderful shower and recently painted room. Top floor room so very quiet. My only request would be mugs in the rooms rather than tiny cups and saucers. Great we were able to leave our cases in reception after checking out. Dee B2024-09-23Verified Excellent location and value for money. We had a great long weekend stay. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Good size room with powerful shower. Staff very accommodating and bags were looked after in reception before and after booking in. Breakfast delicious for £10 each more across the road at sandiford hotel. Have booked again for April for a family wedding. Thank you all at Sandyford lodge. Clare J2024-06-09Verified Great location and very welcoming Sandyford Lodge was perfect for our trip to Glasgow. Anthony the owner made us feel really welcome. He was very friendly and had lots of recommendations for restaurants and local bars. Great location! The walk to the Ovo Hydro was 15 minutes. We will definitely be returning. Stephen_ArlingtonVA2024-06-08Verified Great location at the right price The Sandyford Lodge was a perfect location for visiting someone at the University of Glasgow--great restaurants and pubs nearby and on the main bus line. We could also walk to the City Centre car rental location to rent a car for the weekend (when parking was free on the street in front of the establishment). The front desk is available 24/7 and the family is very accommodating. The key thing to know though in choosing Sandyford Lodge is that this is not a commercial brand hotel: there's no elevator, no amenities (ice machine, gym, etc.), and the rooms are minimalist. The beds are comfortable and there is a desk & chair, small closet (with plenty of hangers), TV, electric teapot, bars of soap and shampoo dispenser in the shower--but there are no extras (no table, lounge chair or couch, fridge, safe, iron, countertop, conditioner, lotion, hair dryer, decorations, clock, etc.). The windows are big and can be opened, which is very helpful as there is no room thermostat and the room's electric lighting options are limited. The one challenge was the shower, which is extremely tight (and the door would not probably allow someone who is particularly stout to even enter). That said, the facilities, cleanliness, and service were at the right price for our extended stay. rjane152024-06-08Verified Super convenient and comfortable. Helpful & interested staff. Our large room was on the ground floor (although the bed was just a double) and had a new bathroom. Parking was nearby in a covered car park but was cash only (there was an ATM nearby). Buses into town (as well as the hop-on-hop-off-bus) were so easy to access (just be aware you can't tap to pay for 2 people on the one card). Breakfast was across the road at the hotel and it included a good selection. We loved having dinner one block up at the Ox & Finch but booking was essential as it is busy - they are mostly shared plates) Colin G2024-06-05Verified Good value friendly staff. Reception Staff very helpful and friendly . Offered me a reserved parking space instead of paying £4 an hour on the street not their fault blame the SNP and the greens for over charging Tourist. Loads of space in hotel room and breakfast was great . Breakfast staff reminded me of Rab C Nesbitt sketch . Down to earth and very friendly . Just what I like . Ellen T2023-11-09Verified Outstanding Experience! Comfortable, lovely, clean, outstanding location and just wonderful friendly, responsive staff, day and night. Kelvingrove Park is just a block away, museums, cafes, Sainsbury's, pubs, even city center, easy to walk to. Definitely will stay there again. Sarah S2023-08-10Verified Unforeseen but highly recommend Last minute booking as road home being closed due to accident Had food shopping in car. Lillian member of staff was amazing and so helpful and stored my food in fridge. Life saver. Thank you so much. Clean and comfortable stay. Would recommend. We will be back to stay again
