Kelvin court staff are sooo nice, they drop everything to help once there is a problem. The rooms are so convenient, they handle the packages with care, and I love this place especially because as an international student far away from home, they have been so welcoming!

Q
Hi, is there any public transport connection with the main UofG campus ? Google Maps doesn't seem to find it and in case of bad weather can be handy.

I lived in Kelvin Court for my first year of university and had a great experience. The rooms were well-furnished, and the common areas were always clean and well-maintained. The location was also perfect, just a short walk from campus and all the shops and restaurants. I was particularly impressed with the level of support from the staff. Colin and Dan were always available to help with any problems, big or small. They were always friendly and helpful, and they really went the extra mile to make sure I had a positive experience. I would definitely recommend Kelvin Court to other students. It's a great place to live, and the staff are second to none. I am very grateful for the help that Colin and Dan gave me during my time at Kelvin Court. They made my first year of university a much more enjoyable experience.

I stayed at Kelvin Court in 20-21 and I couldn't recommend it more!! The rooms are a great size, with lots of natural light and wooden floors. The bathroom shower and sink worked amazingly, and I never had any problems with my room. The kitchen is relatively basic but never failed - and the sofas were leather so easily cleaned! The location was great for Uni of Glas - really close to a Tescos and Sainsburys as well as a few cafes, and the nearest subway to town is a 15 minute walk across the river. Shout out to the site manager Mark - an absolute legend!! Always there to help us with any problems on site.
Thank you very much for your review and delighted that your are settled in nicely and are enjoying your experience at Kelvin and are happy to recommend this to others. We hope that you enjoy the rest of your time with us and we are here for anything you might need throughout your stay. Kind regards Debbie
