“Good but grotty”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

I went with a group of colleagues to attend a festival in Glasgow and the hostel was chosen based on recommendations given on a previous trip. I would travel 6-8 times in the year and would use hostel accommodation 1-2 times each year. The hostel is one of the largest in Glasgow, a high-rise building with 9 bedroom floors, which is centrally located beside Glasgow Central train station and fronting the river Clyde. It is located on a corner site beside a busy and noisy road junction and road bridge. There are extensive commercial facilities: supermarkets, pound shops, good inexpensive pubs and restaurants in close proximity. The area gets quite lively at night. In the hostel the public areas cover three floors, which include a late night bar with a separate entrance for the public.
The entrance to the hostel is somewhat run-down, with entrance is gained via an dilapidated door which does not close properly. The large lobby is dark and the ground floor facilities are dog-eared, although there is a good reception service in operation for 24 hours a day. Indeed the overall security there is good, with door men in operation at night outside the late bar and restricted card access to the upper floors and the bedrooms. Due to Glasgow’s whisky culture at night which some people might find disconcerting, this proved to be an important asset. The bar was by far the best public facility.
The upstairs cafeteria was clean and spacious which provided very basic continental breakfasts, included with the accommodation. There were no boiled eggs, cheese, sliced meats or yoghurt, and the only bread supplied was sliced pan. The coffee/tea came from a vending machine and the fruit juices were overdiluted. To their favour the staff could make you a full english breakfast for a reasonable price.
The bedroom corridors were tired in appearance although they were kept clean. I had a twin room with bunk beds. Sheets and towels were provided; and although the duvet was fitted, I had to make my own bed. While the linen was clean, the inner duvet had not been washed for some time, as indicated by the grimy edges at the opening (photo1.). I opted to wear my socks in bed. While the room was kept neat, it needs a deep clean: a rubbing down of the walls and redecoration. One of the windows was badly cracked, and instead of repairing it the staff had patched it with yellow safety tape (photo 2.). The glass and the frames in the windows were filthy. In the en-suite corridor there was a rotten skirting (photo 3.), which was explained once I tried to use the shower. The controls were difficult to master and the water evacuated at high speed alternately hot and cold, flooding the bathroom floor (I mopped this up with a towel). Ablutions had to be carried out using borrowed light as the light in the en-suite flickered constantly.
Overall the euro hostel had many redeeming features, for example the staff were courteous and helpful and it was located in a good area. However some parts were grotty badly mainained and fell below an acceptable level of cleanliness. It has to be said that despite the conditions we enjoyed our stay there, and the others no doubt will elect to go there again.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from the noisy street (odd Nos)

“Great for a night or two”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

The EuroHostel is good value and in a great location.
We recently stayed here as a stopover for our trip to the West Highlands and even though it is very basic it was clean and just what we needed.
The room had a flat screen tv which was a bonus as a lot of hostels don't, so good if you just wanted to chill out.
The bar downstairs was good fun and reasonably priced.
The hostel isn't far from the 2 main rail stations and around £20 to the airport by taxi.

“Great budget hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

The price and location is what grabbed my attention. The locations perfecting train and bus connections. Right on the Clyde which looks awesome at night. The hotel reception was friendly and there are lots of local interest flyers plus a sweet safe that you can lock your mobile in to get a battery charge!!!! The downstairs bar and restaurant was totally unexpected. Very nice bar well stocked bar. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food. The room was a twin which was the bunk bed option. Very basic room but it was perfect as a base and it was clean and warm. Flat screen tv with cable. The breakfast was great. Cereals and toast with juice or tea. You can also pay for a cooked breakfast which was very well priced. All in all a great place to stay on a budget or just for its location.

“:) Alright for a night or two...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

I've stayed in the Euro hostel for like... 4 times now. And I do like it. It's central enough, but if you are walking with really heavy bags then it can appear to be a longer walk. With regards to hygiene... if I'm only staying one night, then I would really think twice if I want a shower there. But that's me... other people don't care about these things. Let's just say hostel bathrooms are not the nicest in the world, in general. :) In some of the rooms you can hear a looot of noise, but if you are in Glasgow for paaaartay, then that shouldn't matter. I like the staff, they are nice... and the best things, the price. It's so cheap!! :)

“fantastic for what you pay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Stayed in this hotel on hogmany 2011 me and my friends were at 2 many djs.

Had absolutely no problems checking into the hotel, the staff were friendly, got our key cards and off we went, only trouble is the lifts you can wait a while fo these and you have to use your key card to access it. we were on the 4th floor...me and my boyfriend had a double room to ourselves but alot the boys had a room on the 8th floor which slept around 15 people with bunk beds.

The room was extremely adequate for what we were looking for, infact was actually better than we expected....was nice and warm, we had a nice cosy double bed, full length mirror (ideal for me getting ready), dressing table and lockers if we needed to put our stuff in....also comes with a flat screen tv wall mounted....this hotel is a cracking price i never expected half of this.

The only one problem i had was the bathroom was leaking...infact when i came out the shower i was almost swimming...if you are reading this euro hostal it was in room 401 may need this loo put me off, the shower is very powerfull, i walked in and the pressure pinned me to the wall, lol.

They were the only things i can really say griped me.

After the gig we all just partied straight through the night in various rooms of the hotel and noone gave us any hassle, but it was new year and think everyone was on the same boat was a fun atmosphere to be in.

We were meant to check out at 11 am but after nt sleeping all night i was kinda slothing abit around 11 am and ended up checking out a little bit later 11.30 to be precise and no1 bothered us atall.

Honestly cant fault this place atall if you want to go to a gig, wouldnt recommend if you want a good nights sleep, the bar downstairs i always new as osmosis is now the mint and lime but still as bangin for pre drinks before the club.

Had a fab time at 2 many djs at the o2 academy, its about 10 mins walk from the hostal...the location of the hotel is fab right in the centre straight off the train into the hotel. had a fantastic weekend and the hostal added to this experience. thank you.

Have a fab 2012, keep up the good work.

I have only marked sleep quality low purely because i had no intentions of sleeping that night.

Room Tip: going in a group get the shared bunk rooms...brill laugh, if couple make sure you book double room o...
