Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Argyll Guest House enjoys a convenient location, a comfortable walk from the city center and around 15 minutes from the Hydro. Guests often appreciate the good-sized rooms with amenities such as TVs and private bathrooms, although some have noted the decor could use updating. A highlight for many is the very good breakfast, served in a separate building across the street. The hotel's proximity to attractions like the Kelvingrove Museum and the University of Glasgow also receives positive mentions.
