The Sandyford is well located but the room I stayed in was dated. Comfortable enough bed, and decently appointed en-suite.
There isn't a lift, which may be important to some people.

Comfortable room and safe area for solo female
I stayed in 1 of the attic rooms; size, bed and bath were comfortable. There were gaps around the window casement that during winter would be a problem. I stayed during a hot spell and would have appreciated a room fan. No air conditioning (there is a radiator heater) and no lift.

Good hotel on outskirts of city.
Good hotel in Kelvingrove Area. Bus 77 from Buchanan Street bus station stops opposite the hotel. (It is a long walk from city centre). Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room. Did not have breakfast so can't comment on that.

Clean with comfortable bed but faulty shower was an issue. Also worth noting that in spite of several websites stating breakfast was complimentary, this is not the case.

Fint litet hotellet i utkanten av Glasgow. The staff was nice and friendly. Breakfast could have been better for the price. The room was fine but we could hear everything! From the rooms around us and the street outside. It didnt matter if window were open or closed it was like sleeping just outside because of the noise.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean room. Full breakfast available for extra fee. Very good location. 1 minute walk to Kelvingrove Park. Lots of restaurants, pubs and shops nearby. Quick walk to Kelvingrove Gallery and University of Glasgow. Bus stops right out front but you can also walk to downtown in 1/2 hour. Pleasant stay.

looked tatty from the outside but good inside. The surrounding properties were very noisy, but you would expect that on a Friday night in Glasgow
