“ looks more like a Hotel. Large and clean en suite rooms. Location is ok. 15 min on foot to the center. Really good deal for the price if you are not looking for a party hostel. ”

“ When booking on Hostel World there are several opportunities to book at local hotels that list their rooms for reduced prices. This was a great place to stay, the room was a good value at a typical hostel price for a private room with facilities. ”

“ The breakfast is great! The private rooms spacious with really nice bathrooms. They say "luggage storage" but its just putting your stuff in an unlocked dining room, but it worked out ok. Wifi was expensive if you needed it. Loved the beds. Had a great time in Glasgow! ”

“ Advertised as a 4 single bed private room - arrived and was told 1 bed was a double - forced to purchase extra room at £33. Defeats the object of hostel being cheap ”

“ We stayed in a four person private room with its own bathroom, it was fantastic! Large, spacious, clean, and a great bathroom. It felt as if we were staying in a very nice hotel rather than a hostel for the amount of money we paid at the time (£11 a night!) ”

“ It's a strange, pokey place. Despite having a mostly-empty breakfast room at the bottom of our stairs, we were sent on a mission to another room in a separate wing each morning.

“ More like a hotel than a hostel, which was great considering how cheap it is per night (and breakfast included)! I stayed with 3 other friends in a quad room and we had our own ensuite bathroom, TV, and nice comfy beds! Would stay here again if I were ever in Glasgow. ”

“ This accommodation was great value for money. We got a free full Scottish breakfast, and the rooms were very comfortable. We also had a TV in the room, which was a nice change! Maybe not as fun as a hostel, but the private room was nice. ”
