Key card issues the whole time, staff could not figure it out, went through 4 people and 6 cards. I paid for access to a room I didn’t get. No common area. It has the most basic essentials, literal bare bones. Not a great starter hostel for solo travelers.

Could work for 1 night stay if you aren’t picky about cleanliness. Good luck if you get a room in the basement, super damp and moldy. Wouldn’t stay here again.

A short trip.

It is more of a hostel than a hotel. Rooms are shared with double decker bunks. That safe it provides safw clean accommodation in the heart of Glasgow. Glasgow Central Station and Sauchiehall Street are both within walking distance. 4 nights cost £152.

The room did not match the photos—everything was quite dated, and the bathroom was noticeably unclean. I even hesitated to take a shower due to the poor condition.

It was what it was.

It was what it was. The room had comfortable double bunk beds for all 6 of us and there was an en suite bath. The place itself was a little shabby, looked like there was some damage in the hallway and the rug in our room was threadbare in places. It had a moist vibe. The common areas were meh. But it was our first night in Scotland and we pretty much just slept there, didn't get breakfast. Had a good recommendation for dinner from front desk: The Butterfly and the Pig.

Comfy and clean

Friendly staff, had no problem over the 3 nights I stayed over. Funny enough it was the same place my friend stayed a few months back. Room clean, easy access. I booked a double room with private bathroom. Would recommend. Shops nearby if needed, bus stop within walking distance.

Where do I begin… As soon as we entered, the front of house staff were welcoming, kind and made us feel right at home. Every morning we were greeted with kind faces and smiles, adding to the safe (stay) experience. Although we were neighbouring some unexpected machinery, we grew to love our atmosphere, it’s hard to complain when you get such luxury for only £20 a pop. Highly recommend, and oh boy did I love that coffee machine. All our love, Molly, Ti & Rosa. <3
