Room was clean, shower was good. No driers, between the check out and check in time is obviously no staff time. I kept my luggage in the luggage room but could not find it immediately because i want it back during no staff time. Although one staff came out after few hours later, so that I could return my luggage back.

Stayed one night for a night out. Got a twin room. Everything was clean. As it's a youth hostel it is basic accommodation but the staff were nice and friendly and the bedding was clean. Would stay here again if going for a night out.

This is a great hostel! The location is convenient for visiting Glasgow's west end and Kelvingrove Museum and park as well as Glasgow University. Its location is quiet and beautiful. The services and amenities are well-organized and clean. I would stay here again. The only negative would be that the walls can be thin and you may hear people in the next room. However, I found that people respected the 10 pm limit on any noise.
