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.

Wouldn't stay here again!
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.

定错酒店了，这根本不是酒店，两个房间一百镑还没早餐，厕所还是公用的。晚上关灯，灯还会闪呀闪。房间里的墙有黄色的液体痕迹。酒店里住了很多长期租房的房客。

Not recommend
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.
