I've stayed in this hostel three times now, which must indicate something good about it! The location is unbeatable - a couple minutes walk from Central Station, about a 10 - 15 minute walk from Buchanan bus station, and very close to all the main streets, including the Carling Academy music venue, which a lot of people use the hostel for.

There's a big kitchen and dining area with a TV, a good recreational room with a pool table and another TV, and on the ground floor there is a bar with a pool table and jukebox that are free during the day.

However, I do have some noteable negatives. On my latest trip there, we were given a room with no soap (which they immediately gave us when we brought it to their attention, so no problems there), two power sockets with one not working (which wasn't really a problem) and a showerhead that was attached to the wall and impossible to move (now that really was annoying). However, I don't recall any of those problems from my other two trips, so I do put it down to a bad room... but then, should they really have any "bad rooms"?

My other two experiences were 100% enjoyable, and the most recent trip was satisfactory by all means. For the price and the very central location, you can't ask for much better.

This place was awesome. It was a huge hostel, right off central station in Glasgow, the very center of the city, close to everything. Huge common kitchen to cook in and great eating/hanging out area with tv and couches. breakfast was free in the morning until 10, and was unlimited toast and cereal and juice. sheets were changed every night, and was one of the cleanest hostels i've stayed in. basic dorm style with bunk beds and lockers for storage. sure the beds werent the most comfortable i've stayed in but they were still fine. overall a great experience! plus the bar downstairs was really cheap and reception was really helpful. perfect for college students like myself! i'd def stay there again if i went back

The hostel is in an old converted 60s office block just north of the River Clyde, neighbouring what feels like a dodgy part of town. We forgoed the dorm rooms for a double room on the 6th floor. The décor was spartan and the bed horrifically uncomfortable – the springs in the mattress felt virtually exposed. The bathroom seemed unclean and the television cost GBP1 for 15 hours viewing or until switched off, together with a photo ID deposit for the remote control.
On the positive side it was cheap and central, continental breakfast was included, free wi-fi was available in the bar, and kitchen facilities were great (albeit locked after 2200.) On balance I am probably growing out of hostels, so would probably not stay here again.

Hi, don't have so much to say.
Went there with my girlfriend booked a double room they didn't keep the reservation as they only had a twin available.
The girl at the reception said they can decide to give us a double or a twin...as they wish. ABSURD!
Too tired to search for other places, we got into the room.
Dirty place, noisy at night because of traffic jam and drunk men screaming.
