Kelvingrove Park is 0.5 km away. Other landmarks nearby include the Glasgow Science Centre (2 km), The Mackintosh House (1.5 km), Sauchiehall Street (0.5 km), Buchanan Street (2 km), The Glasgow School of Art (1 km), the University of Glasgow (1.5 km), and The Tenement House (0.5 km).

Hotel Services

The Acorn Hotel offers complimentary PC use at reception. Street parking is free from 6pm-8am Monday-Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. Parking can be paid via the Ringgo App or meters outside the hotel. A car park is located at Berkeley Street for £6.00 per day. The nearest EV chargers are on Woodside Terrace. The hotel offers ground floor rooms. Guide dogs are allowed, but other pets are not.

“The location strikes a smart balance, placing you between the bustle of the city centre and the more relaxed West End. I like the sound of freshly cooked Scottish breakfasts; that's a detail that suggests real hospitality. Weekends bring the bonus of free on-street parking-a definite plus in Glasgow.”
