Best hostel I’ve stayed in

Staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were the nicest I’ve ever stayed in a hostel. Plenty of communal rooms with books/tv/etc and the self-serve kitchen was well stocked and clean.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for the Slipknot concert and it was a really enjoyable stay :) very homely and the area its in is very nice and pretty quiet overall. Staff were friendly and up for a chat, free coffee and filtered water at the front desk made the mornings very relaxed. Rooms give you all you need but nothing more, can't really complain with that. Overall we both found ourselves agreeing that we would stay again if the opportunity arised.

Great value hostel in a lovely building, my single room was quite big and I was a bit disappointed by the lack of table as there was enough space but it wasn't a big setback. Beware its location is a bit further out from central Glasgow but wonderful if you want to be right by Kelvinbridge Park. Also the 4pm check in time is a bit later than normal so that was inconvenient. Otherwise no huge issues though.

Beautiful location overlooking Kelvingrove Park,very convenient for the university, museums and getting into the city centre. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of space in self-catering dining room. Lounge looking out over the park, and another with a table tennis table. Second floor room was a little chilly in spite of the radiator working hard, but the shower worked and everyone was clean and good. Good value for money.

The building was beautiful and the location was perfect but our room was cold with poor lighting. There were also insufficient plugs in the room. Ventilation could have been better as every shower made the room rather humid.

There wasn’t any way of getting to the upper floors except stairs which I have difficulties doing also the window didn’t open very much so we roasted to death. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough at the time there were some in my room who thought they were privileged and got the staff to bring down their cases that weighed a ton and they did it even though they didn’t have to

Disappointing in more than one way

Firstly when you climb up the hill from bus stop you turn left walk to end of street and are faced with countless steep steps to climb to reach the actual street where hostel is located . Not practical if you have a large case or mobility. I luckily only had a backpack. The room was disappointing too as was advised and given a small card to place in a piece of plastic supposedly tied to bed to advise other people in room this was your bed ! Mine was missing as were other's in the 4 bed room. There is also no individual lights and as I arrived back from SSE Hydro around 11.30 pm other people in room were asleep and as I didn't want to wake them could not put on overhead bright light and therefor, as my bed luckily was opposite the bathroom, I was able to put bathroom light on and open door a little to find my pj's and toiletries to wash. The girl who left very early morning appeared to also have same problem. The view from room was non existent and terrible as back of property. Room was old. I decided to leave without breakfast when I learned there was no machine for coffee. Staff was ok but not particularly helpful or friendly. No I would not return and definitely would not recommend.
