Glasgow Youth Hostel Reviews

Perfect if you're looking for a nice place to stay in Glasgow. Clean, with laundry, kitchen and living room. Staff and guest are really nice, and I will recommend it to my friends.

I was most happy with the Glasgow Youth Hostel. Beautiful big old building, quiet place to stay, I had a good sleep and loved the ensuite bathroom and shower that were both really clean. The staff were wonderful, and the only downside would be that you had to pay for wifi. Otherwise everything was great and the 15 minute walk to the centre of town meant you got some exercise on the way! (PS. There is no elevator in the building, so be prepared to carry your bags - and pack light)

Richest part of town, 1.3 miles from central train station, pay for wifi but works well. Supermarket 5min walk for food.

I don't know about this place. Age groups range from those in their teens to retirees. I felt uncomfortable sleeping in the same room as 4 older men I just didn't get a great vibe from the place. Paying for wifi was a first and the hostel is a good 10 mins into the town centre, not an issue for me but might be for others. On the plus side staff are very friendly and helpful, the common areas are good to meet people and the board in reception gives a great overview on current gigs around town.

A lovely hostel, friendly staff.

This hostel was really great! I just have 3 comments: 1) it would be great to include a free breakfast in the price 2) I don't understand why we have to pay for using the wifi 3) the hostel is not centrally located (30 minutes by walk from downtown).

don't be put off by the distance from town centre! it is only a 20 minute walk and the area where the hostel is based is beautiful! right across the road from the park where you can enjoy sitting in the sun, close so excellent cafes and restaurants, as well as clubs on sauchiehall street. walking distance to cool shops in west end and anything else you want to do in glasgow. the staff are excellent and it is easily the cleanest hostel i have ever stayed in. yes you pay for wifi but not much!

Very calm and paceful hostel, the bathroom was inside the room and always clean. Quite tiny beds. Staff very kind and helpful.

The only downside to this lovely big old comfy hostel was that wifi wasn't free. Other than that loved it, super cosy and in a nice spot on the park. Lovely.

Great hostel, very clean and friendly. Only problem was the one PowerPoint in the dorm room was broken. Always a bit annoying when you have to pay extra for everything. It was a lovely walk down through the gardens into the city.

+ Clean and comfortable hostel in a great location. - Wifi and breakfast cost extra, breakfast is elementary.

Arguably the best deal you can get in Glasgow. The hostel is located on top of a hill with nice views and a park just across the street. The building itself is old (for instance, drinking the tap water is not recommended), but they made the best of it. Service is helpful, friendly and professional.

Great hostel! It's very cute, has a nice homely feel to it. Staff are very helpful. Have to pay £1 for an hour of wifi. And breakfast and dinner are available for a decent price. Nice views and and ver close to Kelvingrove park and museum. Located in a fancy area of Glasgow. Such a beautiful place

very nice service, 24h reception is plus - I was staying just for one night and checking out early in the morning due to early flight, ( in other hostel I was staying last time, I didn't get my key deposit back, when I asked for refund by e-mail no one even bothered to reply, I was totaly put off by lack of contact whatsoever) very clean and pleasant - definately good value for money, amazing staircase with beauiful wood work next time I need to stay a night in Glasgow definately my choic

The hotel is clean overall. But the guests need to make beds themselves which makes me think that the staff barely clean the room... and the WIFI is expensive..

This is a great hostel! I didn't use many of the facilities but the building was beautiful, the rooms clean and it was really nice having a bathroom (with shower) right in my room. The location is perfect, walking distance to the city and being close to park and museums was fantastic. I would highly recommend this hostel and will definitely stay here again!

The atmosphere is not good, this is NOT a youth hostel at all. Really hate when they are charging for absolutely everything (including wifi and breakfast). If it is supposed to be a youth hostel at least you need to think of young people travelling... Staff could not recommend any activities, places or things to do except to walk by the main street in the center and go and see the university...

Perhaps not up to par with more of the new hostels out there now, but I was happy with my stay here.

Enjoyed my stay here. Ensuite room was nice and clean. Slightly annoying that I had to pay for an hour of wifi, and make AND strip my bed but it's nothing terrible. We conveniently ordered a packed lunch for our tour and they were nice enough to open the kitchen early for us to grab some toast and tea before we left. Beautiful building and very quiet.

The location was amazing, especially when we realized we could cut through the park very easily and get to almost anything in town, and the place was comfortable. The only thing that I would say is that the breakfast was rather limited. While I very much did appreciate the free breakfast that I got because I booked with HostelWorld, the other option, which was more expensive, seemed very limited and much less than advertised. Meanwhile, the staff for breakfast was very lax and almost uncaring.
