Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Sandyford Lodge offers spacious rooms, including triple and quad rooms suitable for groups, in a quiet part of the city. Its location is convenient for accessing Finnieston's lively atmosphere and concert venues, with easy access to the city centre by bus, though some guests have noted the walk is around half an hour. The hotel provides kettles and tea bags in the rooms and, while breakfast is available separately nearby, many appreciate the value for money and the original decor.

solid stay near kelvingrove

characterful building spacious room helpful staff

The building had character and sat on a pleasant terrace. my room was spacious with desk space, chairs and ample tea. the reception staff were helpful. They made check-in smooth. i found parking right outside, a nice bonus since spaces are limited.

The room i had faced a wall with what seemed like old bags, and the view wasn't appealing. the bathroom could use some tlc, as the toilet seat felt loose. Otherwise, it was clean. the lack of a pleasant view was a small disappointment.

Rooms

The room featured adequate hanging space, and this detail was useful. beds were comfortable, offering good rest. the room was clean with basic amenities. I did not ask for more.

Dining

9/10

Many bars and restaurants are nearby, providing lots of choices. these dining options are within a short walk. This makes eating out simple. i could find places for various tastes and budgets.

tiny sink rolling bed

The staff was very cute. The quad room was large and very clean.

The sink was TINY. Filling the kettle was a joke. I had to use small tea cups. the bed was on rolls and kept rolling around the floor.

The staff were friendly and bent over backwards to accommodate all my needs. The room provided plenty of space. The location proved convenient with restaurants nearby.

Slightly below average stay.

faulty phone slippery bathtub

I found some issues, honestly. The room phone didn't work and no one fixed that, despite me reporting it. The bathtub was slippery, a shower would be safer for sure. I nearly fell trying to get out, it really lacked any kind of safety bar.
