Vennel Gallery Tours and Activities

We had a lovely 5 night stay in this stylish independent hotel. Highlights were the overall design, the restaurant and the staff. The hotel is in a great location for activities in central Glasgow, and only a 25 minute walk to Kelvingrove Park and art gallery. The room type was Loft and was chosen because we wanted space and somewhere to sit and relax in the room. There were two comfy armchairs and a desk area with one chair. There was plenty open storage for clothes, which we didn’t mind, although a couple of drawers to allow underwear to be stowed away would have been helpful. The in room TV system was upgraded while we were staying, so it’s hard to comment on that, but it’s not what we were in Glasgow for. If it’s important to you maybe check other reviews to see how that has panned out. The room we chose has coffee making pod machine and an immense, comfortable bed. Something I’d not noticed about this was that it’s raised on a platform. It’s a clever design, as the reverse of the headboard is the desk. If you think you’d be phased by the step down from this if making a nocturnal trip to the bathroom, then maybe one of the other room styles would be a better choice. As mentioned, the staff, who can be reached via WhatsApp, were super-responsive. They were very fast to resolve a couple of initial queries regarding the TV and too few clothes hangers. When I commented that the room would be even better with a little fridge for fresh milk, one appeared! So well looked after!

Excellent room and service, staff were very friendly and helpful.
