What guests think
At Glasgow Youth Hostel, travellers praise the quiet, beautiful West End location by Kelvingrove Park and the characterful historic building, along with friendly staff, generally clean spaces, and well-equipped self-catering kitchens and lounges that make stays convenient.
Rooms are simple and functional for the price, with some offering park views. Common drawbacks include many stairs with no lift, limited power outlets, small or creaky beds, thin walls, and occasional issues with temperature, ventilation, or lighting; a few reports also mention broken laundry machines. Best for budget-minded travellers comfortable with a historic building's quirks.

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

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.

Beautiful location overlooking Kelvingrove Park,very convenient for the university, museums and getting into the city centre. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of space in self-catering dining room. Lounge looking out over the park, and another with a table tennis table. Second floor room was a little chilly in spite of the radiator working hard, but the shower worked and everyone was clean and good. Good value for money.

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.

Fue excelente! Está cerca a varios museos y un parque muy bonito. Es algo antigua pero cubre todas las necesidades, hay agua caliente, calefacción y áreas comunes muy completas. Volvería sin dudarlo!

Absolutely beautiful area Glasgow, our ensuite twin room looked out onto Kelvingrove Park, the building is a Victorian Townhouse in a very well to do area. Rooms were clean, staff were very friendly and helpful and just minutes away from shops, bars, restaurants etc. Huge kitchen and dining area with everything we needed, I would definitely stay again 😀

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.

Beautiful location overlooking Kelvingrove Park,very convenient for the university, museums and getting into the city centre. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of space in self-catering dining room. Lounge looking out over the park, and another with a table tennis table. Second floor room was a little chilly in spite of the radiator working hard, but the shower worked and everyone was clean and good. Good value for money.

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.

I was very late getting to the hostel because of a delayed flight, but Allie, the night porter was so welcoming and helpful, l enjoyed my very short stay! Likewise, Heather, who l had spoken to earlier to explain my late arrival was very sympathetic! I would highly recommend this accommodation!

Staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the vintage feel it had. It overlooked a beautiful park where I spent a lot of time at. There a lot of stairs and no lift though. But I still had a nice stay.

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.
