Velice dobré.
Pros:

Ubytování se nachází v centru a přesto v klidné oblasti. Personál je velice nápomocný. Na pokojích byla sprcha se záchodem. Snídaně byly dostačující.

Cons:

Zapracoval bych na úklidu.

No lo peor pero tampoco el mejor
Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta aunque me hay costado encontrar la entrada ya que están de obras. Las cápsulas son bastante grandes y tiene aire acondicionado.

Cons:

No hay una taquilla para poner tus cosas, tienes que llevarte tu proprio llavero para cerrar la cápsula y no de dan toalla (bueno si no la pagas). Además las cápsulas son 3 una arriba de otras, así que sierra si te toca la de encinima para subir la maleta. Solo hay dos ascensores y subir y bajar es un lío ya que está un montón de gente. Muchas cosas rota en los baños y necesitan ser limpiados más a menudo.

Pros:

Les rideaux autour du lit pour l'intimité, l'emplacement et le prix

Cons:

J'étais censée être dans une chambre de 8 lits mixtes mais sur les 8 lits il y avait 7 hommes donc j'étais la seule femme : ce n'est pas très mixte. Il n'y a pas de douche ou de toilettes communes si les gens de notre dortoir prennent trop de temps dans la salle de bain. J'ai eu des problèmes avec le badge pour ouvrir la chambre et il fallait retourner à l'accueil pour réinitialiser la carte à plusieurs reprises.

Safestay Glasgow was a pleasant affordable place to stay .
Pros:

Excellent , helpful front office staff . There was one lady in particular who was extremely helpful - don't know her name . Well appointed ensuite bathroom . Good location - close to U. of Glasgow , pubs , etc.

Cons:

In the main lounge area , there should be an electric kettle for making tea or coffee .
In the room #218 there should be wall hangers so that you can get the clothes off the floor .

…mixed feelings about this one.
Pros:

Very friendly stuff, comfortable common area and a cool neighborhood.

Cons:

Very noisy (I would hear peoples private conversations on the sidewalks, even though they weren’t even raising their voices), lot’s of noice coming from the hallways and bathroom.

The vibe in my dorm wasn’t what I expected. I thought it was gonna be people more or less my age but I ended up also having dorm mates twice my age.

I also felt like it was a shame that they had no kitchen and the space in the dorms was very limited for 8 peoples (there was no hangers apart from on in the bathroom to hang up wet towels)

Alapjában véve a kategóriájában nem volt olyan rossz, de inkább fiataloknak javasolnám a helyet.
Pros:

Nagyon jó, központi helyen volt. A személyzet kedves, szolgálat kész volt.

Cons:

A lámpa nem égett, bár másnapra megjavították. A wc mozgott, zörgött. elég nagy volt a zaj, mindenkit és mindent lehetett hallani a szobában, nem igazán volt csend és nyugalom éjszaka sem.
