Decent for the price, at least in comparison with other offers in the city. The bathroom could have been better, though. Close to the Glasgow school of art, where due to the fire many streets are closed right now. A bit out of the main downtown street, but still a good walkable distance of about 15 minutes.

Great staff and good prices for private rooms. The building is a little dated but overall well worth the money.

Good place to stay for a decent price. Hostelling International takes it over from the Glasgow School of Art during the summers to make affordable accommodation

Sadly this place did not meet my expectations of a Scottish Youth Hostel. My room had not been cleaned and had half-eaten food and rubbish in it. It was disgusting and turned my stomach. I was given another room which was adequate but unfortunately student halls of residence still retain something of the same aroma and unkempt atmosphere even during the holidays. I felt like I was going back in time 30 years...Having said all this I got a good night's sleep, the shower was pleasant and the hostel is well-situated. It's just that, usually, staying at a Scottish Youth Hostel is a pleasure in itself, but this wasn't.
