“ The sensitive fire alarms were a bit annoying at 8 in the morning, but the place was overall great. If your looking for a quite place, this is it. If your looking for a lot of socializing, this might not be the place for you. ”

“ Great price for a private room, very clean and well run. As it's a University residence the rest of the year don't expect much in terms of events and character. ”

“ Great place to get a quiet room of one's own. Close enough to the train if you don't have a lot to carry. Easy walking distance from Kelvingrove Gallery; not especially close to the downtown area. Very professional staff. Not a place to meet other travelers (you'll probably never see them). ”

“ pretty run down especially the bathrooms and kitchens. Half the facilities were not working on our floor. The equipment in the kitchen left a lot to be desired. It was all over very smelly therefor not clean. The whole building could do with a proper make over. ”

“ I was there for work actually (conference). Except the hotels in SECC, this hostel is the best place to stay, and for a fraction of the money. It is super-clean and staff makes everything super-efficient! ”

“ Here you can find a brilliant stay for a few money. The rooms are really big (1-bed around 12m2), tide and nice. The bed was comfortable, and it was only a few minutes to the city or the museums. ”

“ There was a lot of noise in the hallways after 10 pm. People were singing, laughing, playing guitar and the staff didn't say anything about it. It's a very clean and well-equiped hostel, but don't expect a lot of sleep. Also quite far from the city centre. ”

CaroD2713 says:
“ It felt more like a hotel than a hostel and gave us the much needed space to chill out in the double room. It didnÄt feel like a hostel though, as we didn't met anyone else - the kitchen are each for 5 rooms only, and didn't used the common room. Recommendable anyway!! ”

“ The hostel's facilities are okay, it seems a little military but once you get used to it, it's nice. We have to walk a lot to get into our room, but the bedrooms are very comfortable, the bed is perfect! ”

“ This place suited my purpose of visiting family. Good value for a private room with wash basin. Not good for solo travellers who may want to meet others - It just doesn't happen here unless you're a student during uni sessions staying for a long time. ”
