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.

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.

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!

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.

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
