The staff here were incredibly friendly and helpful. They took care of us and went above and beyond. The food was also great. Our room was missing a window shade, and a tap handle was broken off, but otherwise the room was comfortable. 2 asthmatic members of our group had difficulty walking through smokers up the front steps. We would recommend the smoking station be moved from the front door.

Not the hotel’s fault but development work is happening behind them so it’s a fully working building site at 7.15am - even on a Saturday so no chance to sleep in if you’re facing it.

Also struggling to know how the hotel doesn’t have drinking water in the room seeing as this is a major UK city.

Staff very helping and great location and in walking distance to everything in the centre.

Breakfast was a letdown, especially for the extra cash I shelled out, I thought I'd at least get a cooked meal, and I was lucky to even snag one pastry. I got back late, and the room was an oven, even with the windows open. I'm definitely not staying here again, and I'm seriously thinking about asking for a full refund, not to mention I got absolutely no sleep.

In this price range for 2 night 41 pounds having basic amenities is okay but the property should start giving option to share with people who snore and who doesn’t. 2nd night there was a gentleman in my room who was snoring like a loud speaker which ruined my sleep and obviously for others as well. If you’re on tight budget then take your chance and pray that there’s no one is there who snore otherwise choose individual room.

We had booked a 6 person PRIVATE room for the night. The room was pleasant, clean, had lockers, the bathroom was clean although had no hand towel, check in was easy and we were offered an early check in for a small fee, however there was issues with privacy after we had checked in. We were in the room at the time, and all of a sudden someone (presumably a member of staff or housekeeping) opens the door to come into our room, without knocking at all, while we were getting changed at that exact moment. Not sure why they were coming into our room only 2 hours after we had checked in and when we were only there for one night. Then in the morning, the same thing happened again with a male member of staff walking in to our room, without knocking AGAIN, whilst we were all sleeping, over an hour before checkout, realised his mistake, then came in for a second time, without knocking AGAIN to apologise for his mistake. As a group of young girls staying here we were not impressed and would not feel safe staying here again if the staff members will walk into your room without knocking and for no reason? Would not stay here again.

(First the check in time was 3pm, so i had to wait 6 hours before I was able to get into my room.) This property is good for 2-4 nights. When i arrived they had staff cleaning and in fairness the cleaner was doing good job. The place is not far from Queen Station but it's surrounded by roads that go up and down hills lol. You also have to pay £6 for a towel to dry yourself if towels are needed, but the bed was cosy enough to sleep in. Each bed has curtain which you can pull to provide more privacy. In general not a bad place but it be far between if check in time was before 3pm. Supermarkets close by and you can return to your room anytime through the night if you out at night. 😊

Worst place ive ever stayed

Firstly its advertised as a hotel, its not its a hostel. The rooms were filthy, covered in feaces, the windows didnt lock, there mould all over the bathroom, there was vomit stains on the floors, there was a huge hole in the roof, i could go on but im sure you get the drift. We ended up leaving after 2 hours as we were worried for the safety of our children, would not recommend this place to anyone, needs to be closed down.

Terribly managed experience

Following the reservation of two rooms via Hotels.com, payment was not processed at the time of booking, a departure from standard practice. Subsequently, emails were received that appeared to be fraudulent, requesting payment via a provided link.

Upon contacting the hotel, payment was successfully processed. However, approximately six days prior to the scheduled arrival, notification was received that one room was unavailable due to maintenance. The alternative accommodation offered was a shared dormitory, which was less than ideal. Given the proximity to an event at the OVO Hydro and the inflated prices of alternative private rooms, the shared dormitory was accepted, despite the lack of provided amenities..

Very very basic hotel. The carpets need a either a huge clean or full replacement, doesn’t look great to see big stains when you walk in. we had a double room ensuite. It seemed clean enough. For 1 night It is fine, except the thin uncomfortable mattress and the 1 skinny pillow. If they improved that my score would be higher! Handy location but I’m not sure it should be on Expedia as a hotel. It’s really a hostel.

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.

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.

Comfortable place.

The hostel was nice and my room (room for 4) was very clean and comfortable.

Something to keep in mind is that Glasgow is in a hill and the hostel is in the bottom of one side of the hill and the city center in Im the bottom of the other side… so you have to go up and down the hill a lot.

I didn’t like the charges for some services like bag storage is you arrive early and just want to drop your bag. Also for towels you have to pay a lot, it was way cheaper to go to a shop and buy one like i did.
