My and a friend stayed in a double twin ensuite for two nights. Had no complaints - room was plain but clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Location was brilliant, short walk to anything you needed and about a 30 min walk into the city centre.

Overall à really great experience but minus point for the water not drinkable in the room, only 2 sockets for an 8-people dorm and no real vibes but overall it’s a really nice place and a lovely staff!

Pros: friendly and welcoming staff, gorgeous huge building, has a kitchen, seemed like a few good recreational spaces for meeting people, decent cheap breakfast, bed was fairly comfortable, there are a few bus lines that run nearby (you will have a bit of hill to walk up at the end). Cons: If you get stuck in the top room, you must schlep a few flights for a glass of water (can't drink from the sinks), no outlet or storage space by the bed (except a roughly phone-sized mini shelf), no shelf at...

Hostel Location is Fine, somewhat on a hill but easy to reach and beautiful view. Stuff were nice but couldnt help with the puzzling public-Transport System. Room was okay, but quite Cold, because of old, not so good windows. Bathroom directly on room could be nice but was bad: tap was broken and couldnt turn completely off. Toilet didn’t flush right, so toilet clogged. Walls extremely thin so every flush you could hear in the sleeping room. In the shower the water couldn’t rinse off. Few h...

The room literally smelled like urine it was so strong, the shower hardly drained and the front desk gave no assistance getting to the room

We stayed at Glasgow Youth Hostel three nights and found this place great for us. It was clean, spacious, safe and well located for places we explored in Glasgow. We enjoyed access to the kitchen and common arias to cook and rest after long day of exploring and walking.

Staff was so friendly upon my arrival and answered all my questions from a brain coming off of a travel day. There is a sainsbury close by to grab some snacks. The building itself is very cool with lounge spaces and a huge kitchen. The beds were comfy and I slept well!

Gorgeous location. Walking distance to OVO which is why we were there. Nice park, near the university and botanic gardens. Lovely interior. Rooms really big and had toilet and shower inside = life change. A proper shower too! Staff so nice.

Definitely the best spot in Glasgow. All of the staff were shockingly friendly - the ginger guy is hilarious - and accomodating. Spotless facilities and a open common room with a beautiful, expansive window. Thank you to Glasgow Youth Hostel for such a welcoming experience!

Amazing building with some gorgeous common spaces (the staircase, reading lounge). Super nice staff, fairly comfortable beds, nice location. Cons: Bathroom was not very clean and smelled terrible. No elevator, which could be a challenge for some travelers (there's a lot of stairs). No potable water in the rooms, so had to go down to the first floor.

I've stayed in quite a few hostels and never left a review before, but I couldn't not comment on my stay here! It was such an historic, magical building. The hostel had a beautiful common room and my dorm overlooked the city skyline. I would recommend staying here, I treasure this Glasgow trip and this hostel is part of the reason!
