It's great if you're looking for a dorm style room but its hard to meet people and its a good hike to the city. But the bed was comfy and it was clean and all my stuff was really secure because it was a private room.

It would have been helptul if a reminder to bring towels and soap had been mentioned! Also the layout of the directions to the hostel could be improved.

Very good if you are tired of the 16 beds dormitory of the hostels. A single room, in an appartement of 8, with a shared kitchen and several bathrooms. The place is simple, but nice. And not far from the City center, just near the Glasgow Scool of Art.

It was nice to have the independence that living in student accommodation, as opposed to a regular hotel/hostel, gives you. However, I felt like there was too little information on Glasgow and how to get around available. Staff were very friendly though.
