Good location, Very basic surroundings
Budget hostel, in good location. Very cheap and cheerful. Rooms were very basic, but clean. Stayed with family (3 kids), it worked as a place to lay your head. A little noisy at night, plenty of students staying there etc. Overall satisfactory but nothing you'll be writing home about

My stay was pretty comfortable the staff was nice and it was close to transport, food and the city center. Note, the lockers are not big at all so most people kept their bags under a bed or in a corner so make sure you have locks. The actual street waa quite quite and felt deserted wich always makes me weary but I was assured by multiple locals it was a safe area.

No-so-safestay
Took my money (I don't have much), and turfed me out, after having been left to wait in the lobby for 2 hours to be seen by someone, and forgotten about.
I've never stopped in a hostel before, but highly recommend not staying with these scammers.

Comfortable place.
The hostel was nice and my room (room for 4) was very clean and comfortable.
Something to keep in mind is that Glasgow is in a hill and the hostel is in the bottom of one side of the hill and the city center in Im the bottom of the other side… so you have to go up and down the hill a lot.
I didn’t like the charges for some services like bag storage is you arrive early and just want to drop your bag. Also for towels you have to pay a lot, it was way cheaper to go to a shop and buy one like i did.
Many was amazing !!!!!

Its a nice, clean place near the city center. Only the windows were not in a good condition. In the winter definitly would be a problem in the summertime it was fine. Not noisy.

I stayed 7 nights during which I asked the staff three times to change my bed sheets for they were dirty and the staff did not. First they said, policy is every 5 days, but even then they didn’t.

They have the most helpful staff here. We had all kinds of issues booking and all errors were quickly resolved by the staff. Yes it is a bare bones hostel but could not have been better for our stay.
