Good hostel, stayed in a twin private room and had no problems. Bed was reasonably comfy and good bathroom facilities. Wifi was OK. Staff were very helpful
Really close to train station with easy access to downtown and out of city excursions to Edinburgh. Quiet neighbourhood and hostel atmosphere. Hostel manager very friendly- went out of his way to find me and wish me well on the rest of my travels.
Customers talked until midnight near to our bedroom so it was difficult to sleep. The manager was very nice and explain us all the things to know about Glasgow.
This hostel is near to our son's place, so very convenient for us. Staff are friendly and helpful. Very good value for a twin room with ensuite shower/lavatory. Kitchen and lounge facilities clean and bright. Near train station so good transport links.
Visited to attend Glasgow Warriors game against Northampton Saints. Great down to earth accommodation, excellent shower and wash room facilities. Wonderful stone built town house with many original features. Common room was very quiet a good place to read / relax. Excellent position for train station. Very good budget priced overnight accommodation. Will use again when visiting Glasgow.
Comfortable room, good mattress, use of kitchen and lounge/sitting room available. Friendly and helpful staff.
Very good value twin room with adjacent bathroom.
About 15 mins out of the centre of Glasgow, short walk from the station.
I felt uneasy and uncomfortable for the duration of my stay. The kitchen was always a mess, and smelt bad, and it appeared that the hostel staff were staying at the hostel (in my room!) and drinking till the early hours. I didn't find the staff friendly, approachable or helpful in any way, and the whole experience made me not want to stay in a hostel AGAIN!
I would definitely NOT recommend this hostel to anyone.
Un soggiorno da incubo!Le camere sporche e vecchie, materassi con le molle che ti entrano nei reni! i bagni senza prese per la corrente nè una mensolina dove appoggiare le tue cose; gli armadi a rischio che ti cadano addosso e le grucce rotte. In tutto l'ostello regna un tanfo di fritto proveniente da una cucina che sta in una stanza in seminterrato dove sei fortunato se non prendi il tetano. Il personale ?... simpatia portami via... ho detto tutto! ha.. non credo ci sia scritto tra le descrizioni dell'ostello.. ma l'ostello chiude alle 23.00 e se vuoi entrare dopo devi richiedere una chiave apposita, per la quale pagherai 5£ di deposito! :-) meglio saperlo prima. La posizione è discreta perchè la fermata degli autobus (tra cui il 6/6a che porta alla staz. bus centrale)è vicina e passano anche i notturni, tuttavia serve il bus per andare al centro. il prezzo sembra conveniente, ma in realtà è troppo alto per quello che offre; inoltre se paghi con carta c'è un sovrapprezzo di tasse non incluse nel costo iniziale. Se proprio ci tenete portate il Cash!

Was ok for over night stay
We were only there to sleep but everything we needed was there
Nobody in the reception for a long time, phone not answered. The triple room is in the half basement and smells a little. The kitchen is not clean. Charged 1.5 extra when charge the deposit, and the webpage says no fees using credit card.
