The WIFI wasn't accessible from the rooms and the shower alternated between freezing cold and scorching hot every few seconds, possibly the worst shower experience I've had.

The staff is very friendly, but the place is pretty gross. Also their internet never works.

We recently spent one night in the Blue Sky Hostel and we were very disappointed by the facilities and service provided. The hostel did not seem to have a working shower, it was fairly dirty, beds although comfortable were terribly noisy and there was no curtains in the room. Wifi was not working either. Also when asking where to go out for dinner and drinks in Glasgow none of the staff could give us an address or the direction of popular areas.

Absolutely amazing party hostel. Think it should also be quite decent if you just want a good night's sleep. Wouldn't know, though.

Decent location and building. The beds were really creaky, but I've stayed in worse. The staff was polite to us, but rude to our friends. They were not helpful at all and refused to let them use their phone to call another hostel to cancel their reservations.

Booked in for one night for a concert. Very close to the venue. Rooms were fine, can't argue with £12 a night. Spot on, would use again.

The hostel is not really downtown but if you want to be near the west end of Glasgow, that is the place. Property is ok. There is no breakfast at all, the wifi works only in the common room but it does not work on every smartphone/iPad/computer. Many persons had problems getting on the wifi (I was not able at all and it's the first time it happened in my 6 months trip). Then if you are expecting to have the wifi don't go there.

Stayed in a 3 bed room with two friends. Was a bit on the small side but we managed! The mattresses were rather old. The best feature would be its location. Easy walking distance to shopping, bars and comedy!!

Nothing exciting about this hostel, and thats maybe the problem. Is really central. No sockets on the main room and they have a dog (I like dogs, but my friend have panic of them and he couldnt go to the reception at all (quite funny tho coz he didnt want to say nothing to the staff about that hahaa))

Economical. Very good for young travellers who wish to meet lots of people. Older travellers, or people who just need more sleep, should ask to be roomed across the road. Friendly, accommodating staff; Struen in particular is very professional.

Hostel's location was good, close to the centre of Glasgow, however it did not seem to be very clean and it smelled badly.

Need to invest in proper mattress laying on them you could feel the springs and every time I moved the bed squeaked, the pillows and blankets were very thin and the room as actually old!

When people complaon about the breakfast, which is free, I ignore that. If people think it was loud on the weekend I ignore that. A bad review should have validity. Blue Sky deserves a bad review. The staff was impudent. It was far more obvious that they lived there than it was that they worked there. Between smoking cigarettes and eating I suppose they did do a little work. Every question was met with the same disinterested answer which was "I don't know". And the room sucked.

It is the worst hostel i have ever seen. The facilities were really awful inside, they seemed to be very old and not well taken care of. The shower room door was broken and the showers did not regulate the water temperature well so it was either very hot or extremely cold. The beds were also very close to each other so it was uncomfortable, and at night there was so much noise downstairs that it was difficult to sleep.
