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.
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.
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.
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.
