Pass the Keys West End Cosy Pop of Colour Overview

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Pass the Keys West End Cosy Pop of Colour when I first spotted it tucked away in Glasgow‘s West End – the name alone had me curious, you know? But walking up to this place, I have to say the “pop of colour” part definitely delivers. The building catches your eye with some vibrant touches that actually work well against the traditional Scottish tenement architecture around here.

The location is pretty solid if you’re wanting to explore the West End properly. You’re within easy walking distance of Byres Road with all its cafes and vintage shops, and the Botanic Gardens are just a short stroll away – which I actually appreciated more than I thought I would, especially on those surprisingly sunny Glasgow mornings. The Hillhead subway station is close enough that getting into the city center doesn’t require much planning, though I’ll be honest, the walk up from the station can be a bit of a huff if you’re carrying heavy bags.

Now, here’s where I need to be straight with you – this is a 3-star place with what seems to be some management issues, and it shows in ways that matter. During my stay, there were some maintenance things that clearly hadn’t been sorted (the shower pressure was pretty disappointing, and don’t get me started on the Wi-Fi cutting out). The check-in process felt a bit scattered too – I mean, it’s one of those key pickup situations rather than traditional reception, which can work fine but felt disorganized here. The rooms themselves have character, I’ll give them that, and they’ve made an effort with the decor, but you can tell this place could use some proper attention to the basics. The heating was inconsistent, which in Glasgow is honestly not something you want to gamble with. Look, the West End has loads of accommodation options, from boutique spots near the university to more reliable chain hotels along Great Western Road, so unless you’re really drawn to the quirky vibe and can overlook some operational rough edges, you might want to consider what else is available in the area.

To book hotel in Glasgow during the famous Edinburgh Festival season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts music lovers and culture enthusiasts from around the world.
