Kelvin Hall Open Collections

Not been here for some time and the place has be refurbished since the last time I visited many years ago. The building is of course magnificent. I came here not for the sports but the museum collections.Housed in the Kelvin Hall is a collection resulting from a partnership between the National Library of Scotland and other Glasgow museums. Kelvin Hall now provides a shared collections storage facility with public access called the Kevin Hall Open Collection.So now housed in this one building are the National Library's digital and moving image collections, collections from the Hunterian and other Glasgow Museums. Nice place to to spend an afternoon of eclectic museum collections

The best kitted out gym I've ever seen, if you like variety you'll love it. Also has a great functional fitness set up for body-weight exercises although the ceiling is too low for muscle-ups.

Great place for a workout the staff are really friendly and eager to help you with your training programs, you can have a lovely relaxing shower after your workout, they provide shower gel free of charge. The staff check the changing rooms on a regular basis and ensure that they are kept clean thus ensuring a pleasant experience for everybody.

Very friendly staff nice and clean badminton courts, not to forget the toilets. I have not use the gym area but assuming it must be nice too. The only structural problem is that this summer the courts were too hot for game. I am guessing the ventilation system in the basketball and badminton courts needs some attention for only that reason 4 stars otherwise would have given 5.

Great collection of different subject areas.Really interesting time at the museum.Thank you.

i love this place, the National Library part is where I go. It's excellent and normally very quiet. It seems to me to be the West Ends best kept secret. I'm often in there on my own , apart from the 2 or 3 staff. I only go on Friday's so I can't speak for other days. The archive films which are accessible from numerous comfortable individual stations are brilliant. I've revisited my childhood numerous times. If you haven't been then GO, you won't be disappointed.

Attended a birthday party in the gymnastic hall. The equipment the kids had access to was absolutely superb but much as the two staff were friendly and helpful when approached, they did not venture from the sideline where they were chatting. It would have been great to have them more hands on to enhance the experience for the kids who were very young and (barring one or two) had no experience of this type of equipment. The children were also desperate for a drink and so it would be helpful to provide paper cups on order that they can use a water fountain. Don't get me wrong, it is a brilliant idea for a party but there is room for improvement organisationally.

Love this place, so happy it's reopened. All nice new equipment, and their phone app for booking classes is the proverbial chocolate ice cream on top. One thing, folk in the café could be friendlier. Other than that good place to take a class, lift some weights and or other... Best get signed up.

This place is amazing. Coming here since last 6 years. Joined the gym few months ago. Its a amazing place but i think they do lack some equipment's, i.e.- skipping ropes etc. Despite that, a very nice clean place.
