The price is low, but the quality is even lower.
Pros:

On the plus side, there’s a 24-hour front desk.

Cons:

Very loud air conditioning, creaky beds, a dirty bathroom - you have to buy a padlock to acually use the locker (there’s no option to rent one with a deposit, so basically it is another income source for the hostel named STAYSAFE).

Pros:

- Les lits étaient bien équipés et confortables
- Possibilité d'un petit dejeuner

Cons:

- Absolument tout est payant : thé, laisser des valises après ou avant check in, même l'eau (qui n'est pas potable du robinet ??)
- pas de cuisine ni de frigo
- la carte des chambres se demagnetise tous les jours
- l'emplacement n'est pas si bien desservi et à 20 minutes à pied du centre

Central location at a competitive price.
Pros:

Bed was super comfortable.

Cons:

I appreciate they were just open to the public and still working on the property, facilities and booking streamlining, so I reserve further comment until I go back 😊

Pros:

Ho soggiornato in una stanza da 8 persone: la camera era molto bella e spaziosa, con bagno privato in camera. La struttura si trova in una buona zona, non molto lontana dal centro città, e a circa 15 minuti a piedi dalla stazione principale.

Cons:

Il bagno in camera non aveva la carta igienica. Sono arrivato puntualmente alle 14:00, ma ho dovuto aspettare esattamente un’ora prima di poter effettuare il check-in, dato che per entrare in anticipo, nonostante mancasse solo un’ora, era richiesto un costo aggiuntivo. Mi sarei quindi aspettato almeno di trovare tutto il necessario in camera una volta entrato, invece mancava persino la carta igienica.

Inoltre, il mio letto non era particolarmente comodo: il materasso mi è sembrato piuttosto vecchio e il letto faceva abbastanza rumore ogni volta che mi muovevo.

Una cosa che mi ha infastidito parecchio è stata la card per accedere alla camera, che spesso non funzionava correttamente. Ogni volta dovevo provare più volte prima di riuscire ad aprire la porta, perdendo così parecchio tempo.

格拉斯哥不错的住宿
Pros:

位置很好,到步行街很方便,员工热情服务,被褥干净舒适。

Cons:

没有厨房,喝热水要到咖啡机上接。其实,只要在休息室放一个微波炉,大家就会感觉非常方便了。
