The Acorn Hotel enjoys a convenient location near Kelvingrove Park, making it an easy walk to both the city centre and the University of Glasgow. Guests often appreciate the clean and fresh rooms, with some even finding the TV in the shower a cool addition. While rooms can sometimes be a bit compact, the hotel generally offers excellent value, especially when compared to chain hotels, and some guests have noted the walls can be a little thin.

admirable stay

convenient location tasty breakfast
The location is quite convenient. I found it an easy walk to the city centre. breakfast was really tasty, cooked exactly as i ordered it.
i noticed sound traveled fairly easily through the walls. this meant that noise from other guests was sometimes audible, especially late at night.
