Practical spot for exploring Glasgow, basic acommodation but unbeatable price.
Pros:

I appreciated the little privacy curtains on the bunk beds, and all in all it was a very practical spot.

Cons:

I didn't understand why the tap water in the room wasn't for drinking.

Pros:

Chambre top, salle de bain pour la chambre bien aussi, petit déjeuner très bon. Le personnel est très gentil.

Cons:

Absolument aucun équipement pour manger, ni micro-ondes, ni frigo, ni même un accès libre pour de l'eau potable, obligé de demander au personnel qui y vont eux-mêmes. Franchement pour une auberge de jeunesse ou les gens y vont pour pas trop dépenser d'argent en général c'est pour pas aller au resto H24. Donc il faudrait vraiment y remédier.

Great location, friendly staff, and would stay here again!
Pros:

Room was great! Even though it was warmer outside, the room never got too stuffy. I had the breakfast, which hit the spot. The location wasn't too far from the train station that a morning stroll was out of the question.

Cons:

I didn't really come for the view so not having one didn't matter to me. It was a little difficult to fill my water bladder for hiking, but staff helped out right away.

A very convenient place to stay.
Pros:

A very convenient location, not far from the stations, quiet place, clean. They also offer a sufficient breakfast to start the day.

Cons:

They could offer a laundry service; however, it is available at the nearby petrol station. There were no other drawbacks.

Good value for money
Pros:

Fairly central location and relatively cheaper in the area. They don't have a water dispenser but the staff are so kind to refill containers with water. There's enough privacy with the curtains. Their internet connection is also stable. The toilets and rooms are cleaned everyday. The lockers are also secure enough.

Cons:

Asian hostels are above and beyond better. There could have been a microwave for heating food and a water dispenser. There could also have been a shower gel.
