Victorian House Hotel

Stayed at this place week ago. When we arrived there, the reception was in no hurry to greet us. Was on the phone on a non-hotel business conversation. We arrived a bit early and to their credit, they did allow us to leave our bags there while we went out. However they told us to leave the bag in a very unsecure place and told us they would not be responsible for it. The whole time we were out, our minds were constantly on the bags. Room was a bit like a prison room. Minimally decorated and a bit dirty. There were crusty masses... more

This is a large, fairly inexpensive hotel, close to many attractions in Glasgow. We stayed in a double in July of 2005. The room size was decent with high Victorian ceilings. The bed was good. The bathroom was a bit musty, but fully functional with a good shower. The room was clean. Breakfast was buffet style and decent. Lots to choose from, but be sure to ask for kippers if you want them. The service overall was very good. A parking permit was issued for parking on Renfrew street and they made no bones about giving us parking... more

We stayed at the Victorian House Hotel for 2 nights whilst attending our son's graduation. We had also previously stayed for 1 night during May. We found the staff friendly and helpful. During our May stay we realised that our elderly parents (who would be joining us in July) would be unable to climb the stairs to any of the rooms on the upper floors. At this stage we requested a ground floor room for them and staff immediately accommodated us. Staff assisted with every reasonable request including arranging a taxi for us on the day of... more

By the time my husband and I arrived at the Victorian House, we had been to Aberdeen, Orkney, and Inverness, and had wonderful accommodations in each place. We weren't too optimistic with the Victorian since it's in Glasgow and our room only costs 60 pounds a night. What a pleasant surprise! We were assigned to Room 39 on the first floor. It was a big, bright, south-facing room with high ceilings, a bay window, a closet, desk with drawers, a sitting area, and a modern bathroom. We were flabbergasted! We were expecting a cramped... more

We stayed at the Victorian House Bed and Breakfast and enjoyed every minute. The location, on Renfrew Street, was perfect and everything was in walking distance. The breakfast was absolutely terrific. The atmosphere is quiet, respectful and warm. The steep stairs to the rooms were a bit difficult for the elderly but all in all very nice. If you have a chance request the pine floored rooms, they are larger and have a bit more character. Best of all it's quiet. No roudy people outside to disturb you. It's not an... more

I stayed with a friend for three nights at Victorian in April of 2005. I was not thrilled with several flights of stairs while taking luggage up. The room was on the front of the building and had a nice bay window. Tall ceilings and very nicely decorated. The beds were fairly small but comfortable. One issue I had with the room was that the shower stall was very small. I'm short and of average weight and found it cramped. For someone elderly or large/tall, it could be a problem. Also, no matter how you pulled the curtain, the... more

I stay in the Victorian in November and I think the quality is comparated ith the rate...i'm lucky becasue my room was on the grandfloor and i didn't climb the steps..the double room I had it was small and the bathroom too was really very very small..but you know i don't vcare about it becasue the room was clean nad this is the most important thing..the hotel staff was not rude not friendly...normal....they could be better...anyway the only strange thing are all the door i have to open to... more

We found Victorian House using a Rough Guide and wandering up the street from Buchanan bus station. The first time we dropped in with no reservation and they found a room for us. We've made reservations since then. My wife and I, although getting on in age, backpack our luggage so we appreciate the location of Victorian House. Its less than half a block from the Glasgow School of Art and a short walk to the city center. Rooms are more than adequate for our purposes, breakfast is good, and all the employees have been exceedingly helpful and... more

My husband and I toured Scotland Septmeber 2004. We ended up spending 2 nights in Glasgow at the Victorian House Hotel. The location is fine though two different cab drivers had issues getting there. The front desk clerk is not friendly. The rooms are small and were the worst of the 6 B&Bs we stayed at while in Scotland. Our shower leaked and the mattress was horrible. The stairways are very narrow and loud. The front lobby is inundated with cigarette smoke. ... more

agree with general thread that it is okay, but not great. Bed was small and not very comfortable. Good location. Staff seemed nice. Might try somewhere else next time.
