“I will never stay there again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

The staff, specially tthe manager does not care for your comgort. They let a group of 15 teenagers and 3 or 4 aniimators hold a meeting in the dining room during dinner.
The member of the staff even contributed to the disturbance by asking the kid's name.
Ther was no room in the kitachen, no sponges, no rest. The service lacked of professionalism, no soap for the laundry, you cold see the look in the receptionist's eye (bored) when a customer seemed too long before me. When I complain to the manager about the dining room, he told me off. All this with a smile and kindness. This, is the onky bad thing about Glasgow. I will never go back there.

“Ordinary stay but frendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

Here's a place you can get to know others coming over to visit the city of Glasgow. The place is very central, close to the University of Glasgow and also the city centre. With respect to the rooms, they are small and this is a shared accomodation, so not much can be expected from it. But they are clean and the staff is frendly and helpful.

“Great room at the top of the hostel with an amazing view over the River Clyde...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011 via mobile

We booked a double room for a Friday night and we were very impressed with our room - it was on the top floor of the hostel and it had it's own bathroom and shower area. We also had a great view over Kelvingrove Park and the Clyde. The room was clean, secure and when we experienced difficulties with noise during the night, staff came up quickly and sorted it out.
The hostel was in a good location for Byres Road and we loved discovering Ashton Lane off Byres Road - a little surprise in the middle of Glasgow! The sightseeing bus for Glasgow stops on Byres Road so the yha is in a good location for getting to a stop easily if you fancy doing the tour.

“A very good one!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2011

Very nice hostel!
Not expensive, clean, and calm, and good staff.
A bit far from the center, but a cab will only cost you 4p so do not hesitate.
Nice place to stay.

“Private room? £5 breakfast? don't bother”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

I paid for a single room with ensuite bathroom - which I think should include towels and possibly toiletries. For the price I paid for the room I was very disappointed that I had to pay extra for towels, toiletries and the breakfast. The room I stayed in smelt of smoke and was little more than a cell.The breakfast was overpriced and inadequate. I paid £4.95 for a tiny stale croissant even though they advertised more choice..Very noisy rooms and very basic beds.The staff were obviously not trained in talking to people or explaining anything clearly to the guests about the hostel. Next time I visit Glasgow I will be staying at the Premier Inn.
