A friend and I arrived at Euro Hostel to stay for 2 nights, 3 days, for the Northern Ireland match against Scotland. We arrived pretty early, around 9ish, but we paid for early check in so while we waited we headed up stairs to play pool, air hockey and generally look around. There is a luggage room so no worries about carrying around luggage.

We entered the room and our first thoughts were pretty basic, but the more we stayed the more we liked it. Once we made ourselves at home the room grew on us, it was a good room for the price we got. The only problem was possibly the bathrooms, not the cleanest I've ever seen. They could possibly do with a makeover, new tiles etc and a shower that doesn't leak! Nearly died when I stepped out to find my towel soaking! It was all part of the fun though, waking my mate up to go down to reception and get a towel haha.

The beds were surprisingly comfy. Didn't like the pillows mind, weren't very plump and there's only 1, so it was like you were lying without a pillow. My tip is, there is a bar at the back of your head, pop it up against that and your sweet. Mind you if you notice their wonderful bar you won't really care about your pillow! The quilt cover was better than the one I have at home, which just shouldn't happen in a hostel!!

Breakfast is the typical toast, serial, drinks etc. If you don't fancy it, the hostel is in such a central place that you can go to many different places, including weatherspoons, for a nice fry-up. I enjoyed the breakfast though.

Free pool kept us occupied on match day, the bar is superb by the way, it's a credit to the hotel. Very cheap prices, the bar staff (especially the bloke who was working on the 19th and 20th) were very friendly and a good laugh. Very modern bar.

Modern reception, very friendly young staff, internet access at the cheapest prices you'll find, a budget stay and well worth the money. Would definitely stay again, enjoyed this stay more than a 3 star hotel in London!

Thank you for writing your review on Trip Advisor, it is always great to have feedback from guests.

I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay; I hope you enjoyed the match and atmosphere in Glasgow as well. It was a great day and the staff enjoyed the event as much as the guests, it always creates a buzz when there is a major football match or concert on in the City.

I appreciate your comments regarding the bathroom, we are currently in the process of looking at options to refurbish our bathrooms. This work should take place during the winter months.

Loved your "handy tip" regarding the pillow but if any future guest find the pillows uncomfortable then they should contact reception for an alternative.

Thank you for your comments regarding our staff I will certainly pass this on to them in particular James in our bar Osmosis who you identified as friendly and a good laugh.

I hope we can welcome you back to Euro Hostel Glasgow in the future, I'm sure our staff would appreciate another episode of true Scottish and Irish hospitality with friendly "banter".

If you are travelling back to Glasgow please feel free to contact me direct by e-mailing gordona@euro-hostels.co.uk and I will offer you preferential rates.

Once again thank you for taking the time to make your very complimentary comments.

Best Regards

1/1 found this review helpful

We (friend & I) stayed here for 3 nights in a 4-person room, and two of these nights we had the room to ourselves. Location is great- close to buses and shopping and is an easy walk from the station. The room was clean (except for the spitballs stuck to the walls and some dried blood or something on the wall by the bed) and it was nice to have your own bathroom and shower at a hostel-- this made it a great value. The staff were efficient and helpful. The room cards did not work in the elevator- I saw several people having this issue and the staff was mildly unhelpful but it was not a big deal to wait until the elevator came down with someone else. Free breakfast is part of the great deal- cereal, toast, milk, juice- this was a very nice touch. The rooms were cleaned very well in between days. We were on the 9th floor (I believe it's actually the 10th b/c Europeans call the second floor the 1st) so there was city noise (trains, buses) but nothing more than usual. There is a lounge that we relaxed in one night that was nice (although there was dried gum on my couch- ick). I would recommend this place to friends who wanted an excellent value hostel.

  • Liked — value was excellent- hostel with own shower, bathroom, free breakfast
  • Disliked — slightly dirty (not the bedding) but the room- floor, walls

Thank you for writing your review on Trip Advisor.

I have taken note of the points you raised regarding the stained wall and this will be dealt with by our Housekeeping Team.

During your stay we did in fact have a problem with our electronic card reader for the elevators, this has now been replaced and in good working order, please accept my apology if this cause unnecessary delays.

As added value all our rates are inclusive of Continental Breakfast which we are continually improving, I was pleased to read you enjoyed the experience. The couch in our lounge area have also recently been replaced.

Please feel free to contact me direct by e-mail on gordona@euro-hostels.co.uk should you be returning to Glasgow and i will certainly offer you the best available rate.

We went to Glasgow for a weekend, 5 people (25-ish years old).
Hostel is very close to the central station and the city centre (walking distance).
Rooms average (it used to be a student dormitory), nothing special, rather old matress' and you can feel the springs. The bathrooms are clean - there is only shower (you can control only temperature, not the stream).
Breakfast is in the price, continental, like in typical hostel.
The staff very nice and helpful.
Overall recommended place.

Thank you for writing your review on Trip Advisor after your recent stay at Euro Hostel Glasgow.

Shortly after your departure we replaced approximately 50% of our mattresses and every pillow, duvet and mattress protector was replaced, which will benefit future guests greatly.

I will certainly pass on your kind comments to all the team at Euro Hostel.

I hope we can welcome you back to Euro Hostel when you next travel to Glasgow.

Once again thank you for your review.

My boyfriend stayed at the Eurohostel for 2 nights before I arrived in a 18 bed dorm and a 4 bed dorm. He felt the 18 room dorm was a bit noisy and the bathrooms were a bit messy, but that the value was unbeatable. When I joined him, we stayed 4 nights in a private room (bunk beds). I thought it was lovely! The staff was super friendly, the room clean, fresh towels daily and from our room at least (floor 7) quiet at night. The breakfast was a bit slim, but not bad. We didnt have time to do one, but offers tour booking for the highlands right at front desk. Location was superb! Right in centre of city, very close to Glasgow Green, where we saw Radiohead. Overall, a hotel like setting for a hostel price. Would definitely stay at the Eurohostel if ever in Glasgow again.

Thank you for writing your review on Trip Advisor after your stay at Euro Hostel Glasgow.

I appreciate your comments regarding your boyfriends first night stay with noise in the large dorm, our largest dorm accommodates 14 guests. We do encourage our guests to be considerate for other guests in the room however this is not always possible, especially when there is a massive event such as Radiohead playing in the City.

I hope we can welcome you back to Euro Hostel when you next travel to Glasgow.

Once again thank you for your review.

I stayed at the Euro Hostel with two friends in the summer of 2007.
We had a perfect stay. The room was very neat. The hostel also was very neat and very professional. The people at the desk are very helpful and there's a lot of information available about Glasgow.
The breakfast was OK. Of course, you don't get scrambled eggs and fresh orange juice. But you don't pay much, so you shouldn't expect that either. The range of products available for breakfast was perfect for the price!
No further remarks, this is just the way I like a hostel to be! I'd even advice it for a low-budget family-stay, because it was so neat and quiet!
