“A unique spot in Glasgow”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Reading through the reviews here, I wonder at some people's perceptions- especially those who have given this a bad review. It is a quaint hotel, not a chain. Position- very convenient for walking to lots of places- Kelvingrove, Botanic Gardens, Byres Road. It has charm and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The tartan carpet and green walls in the hall may not be to everyones taste, but there are lovely features of an old Scottish house, such as stained glass, fireplaces, coving and lovely plates on the doors. The residents lounge is very homely. My room was spacious - cold on arrival, but the radiator was put on straight away (I had arrived very early). Bed was comfy and a lovely teapot for tea in the room. Breakfast is ordered and brought to the room- mine was on time, and the Scottish breakfast was just right. If I had one complaint it would be that the bathroom appeared to be unheated but easily solved by keeping the door to it ajar and so the heat flowed through. The suite is green and old but in good condition.

I suspect all the rooms have different flavours, but I would certainly stop again.

“What a find!”

We booked this hotel last minute for a night in Glasgow for a concert. We were thoroughly impressed with the warm welcome and excellent location. A short walk to Byres Road and a cheap taxi ride to the SECC. Accommodation was basic but adequate and clean. Breakfast was served in the room which was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend The Kirklee and we will be using it again!

“Breakfast in bed and a lovely sitting room.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

We really enjoyed out stay at Kirklee. It is in a residential neighbourhood, but we didn't mind the extra walking through the picturesque homes to get to our destinations. The decor is fun and welcoming and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is served in your room in the morning and there is also a lovely sitting room when you can read, use wifi, etc. We would definitely stay here again, and overall I wish I had budgeted more time to explore Glasgow.

“Must Try”

Excellent hotel, which is different... in so many good ways! Well positioned to take advantage of Glasgow`s buzzing west end and the city beyond, its also a very good base for business. I have been there, for business and pleasure... and family and colleagues have raved about the friendliness and enjoyability. Value for money and a great experience every always.......must finally single out the perfect every time quality breakfast served in your room which is a a great way to start your day! Definitely a must try!

“Friendly, lovely old building but rooms in desperate need of updating”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

We usually stay at a more up to date local hotel but were unable to get booked so decided to take a chance on the Kirklee Hotel. It is a beautiful building with a lovely old stained glass door which leads into a large and very tartan hallway.
The decor in the bedroom could do with some serious updating, the bathroom had an interesting turquoise suite complimented by pink tiles. the fittings on the toilet and the black and white tile effect vinyl floor had seen better days. The curtains and beadspread were at least 20 years old! however the white sheets and towels were very clean.
The guest lounge was very grand, maintaining a georgian elegance in keeping with the building and area. Lots of interesting pictures and bric-a-brac on display. We didn't spend any time in there, its a pity they don't put so much effort into the bedrooms.
The staff we met were very pleasant.
Breakfast is served in the bedroom,which is quite unusual, it was nicely presented, the food was ok and there was plenty to eat, although it could have been a bit hotter.
In the future I think I would prefer to stick to more modern hotels.
