Glasgow Youth Hostel Reviews

Only stayed one night, so didn't use much of the facilities available, but found the hostel very clean and the staff welcoming, with help available when I arrived late and didn't understand the key card system. The Hostel is in a lovely, quiet area but fairly handy for the subway and coffee shops etc, just across the park, as long as you don't mind an uphill walk with your heavy bags! I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Glasgow and will recommend it to friends.

Very enjoyable stay - gave me a full hostel experience. Very helpful and positive staff too!

This is a classical youth hostel. On the positive side, the location is very nice (though not in the very center of Glasgow) and staff was always helpful. While the building is also very beautiful, the rooms proper lack any character. My bathroom sink was clogged. It was particularly disappointing that internet access was not free. In sum, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with this hostel, but it's not particularly impressive from any perspective either...

This was a very nice hostel with easy walking to the city center and a nice view of the park. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hostel itself is very pretty. There were four ladies in a six-bed flat, but we were the only ones in the room, which was nice. Everything was clean. The only thing I didn't like was that the beds were extremely squeaky when you made any movement, and mine was personally a little uncomfortable, but it's a great hostel and I would stay there again!

The staff were very helpful and kind! Though, the hostel itself was difficult to find -- you have to do something about Google Maps telling people to go to East Kilbride.

i arrived at night and was amazing to walk along those mansions with their leather couches and stuck at the ceiling. To wisit the West End the location is perfect, but for the town centre it is a bit far away. However, I enjoyed the stay in this quiet hostel very much!!

The huge old building is pretty cool and it is not badly positioned. Ensuites and Kitchen are good and like all YHA's it is kept very clean and respectable. Biggest negative is they charge for internet? Seriously, it costs nothing. Bugger off Global Gossip or whichever ripoff merchant you use and for pennys a day you can have decent free wifi.

The house is impressive, the area very nice and good to access university. The self-catering kitchen is well equipped and tidy, but for those who need sunlight to wake up over breakfast will be disappointed to sit in the basement without window. The duvets are warm, but could be replaced by new ones. Internet is not free, 1 GBP per hour.

It is a good hostel for me, especially no alcoholic. That is suitable for people who need a quiet place with peaceful atmosphere. One drawback is the location that is difficult to find for me.

Beautiful period style building, comfotable accomodation, nice quiet location with close proximity to the Univerity of Glasow and Sauchihall Street. Only problem I had was walking to this location at night, It isn't too centrally located and I had no knowledge of transport options, so I had to walk the distance to the hostel, which is a bit daunting on your own when it is late.

It looks like more an hotel than a hostel. You meet a lot of people but it is too big qnd less friendly than some hostel. But the staff is bery king and a lot of good advices !

The location is a little bit impractical to reach the city center, but the hostel itself is located within a nice surrounding. It is not that modern and everything is a little bit outworn, but it is clean and still in good shape. Regarding the staff I had only positive experiences.

GLASGOW YH IS IN A GREAT LOCATION, OVERLOOKING A LOVELY PARK IN A NICE PART OF THE CITY. IT IS CLOSE TO THE WEST END (MUSEUMS & SHOPS) AND ABOUT 15 MINUTES WALK FROM THE CITY CENTRE. TOU GET A NICE WELCOME AND THE STAFF ARE PLEASANT AND HELPFUL THROUGHOUT THE STAY.

It wasn't a very warm welcome but it wasn't horrible either. They help you when you ask for help, the rooms get looked after, beds are a bit squeeky and the toilet in our room made a veeeery strange sound after flushing. Not a bad place at all, just don't expect expect a very warm ambiente.
