Perfect stay for visiting Glasgow, and the OVO Hydro Arena, just the beds were very small, better book a room for 4 and use it with 2 people, as a double bed.

The hostel is amazing! It is located in a gorgeous part of the city, the staff is great! If you are an early riser, bring your own coffee though.

Best hostel I’ve stayed in

Staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were the nicest I’ve ever stayed in a hostel. Plenty of communal rooms with books/tv/etc and the self-serve kitchen was well stocked and clean.

a beautiful, elegant building; and a good self-catering kitchen; and a nice touch of providing hot drinks in the reception area, so that it was very welcoming.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for the Slipknot concert and it was a really enjoyable stay :) very homely and the area its in is very nice and pretty quiet overall. Staff were friendly and up for a chat, free coffee and filtered water at the front desk made the mornings very relaxed. Rooms give you all you need but nothing more, can't really complain with that. Overall we both found ourselves agreeing that we would stay again if the opportunity arised.

Great value hostel in a lovely building, my single room was quite big and I was a bit disappointed by the lack of table as there was enough space but it wasn't a big setback. Beware its location is a bit further out from central Glasgow but wonderful if you want to be right by Kelvinbridge Park. Also the 4pm check in time is a bit later than normal so that was inconvenient. Otherwise no huge issues though.

The building was beautiful and the location was perfect but our room was cold with poor lighting. There were also insufficient plugs in the room. Ventilation could have been better as every shower made the room rather humid.

There wasn’t any way of getting to the upper floors except stairs which I have difficulties doing also the window didn’t open very much so we roasted to death. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough at the time there were some in my room who thought they were privileged and got the staff to bring down their cases that weighed a ton and they did it even though they didn’t have to
