“ A much better alternative to EuroHostel. My experience of an 8-bed dorm here much better than the single room I'd had there. A little hike from the subway was worth it - although no complimentary breakfast included here. ”

“ The hostel was in a nice area, nicer than the central city area. Kelvingrove park and beyond towards the Botanic gardens were lovely. Clean rooms and bathrooms and lockers available. Kitchen and lounge areas all fine. Staff very helpful. Nice place to stay! ”

“ Only stayed on Boxing Day so hard to to properly judge the hostel given it was understandably fairly empty. Staff were friendly and helpful, location central. Little bit cheap to charge for PC usage when the free wifi wasn't working mind you. All in all very secure, nice atmosphere - very laid back. ”
