Really close to train station with easy access to downtown and out of city excursions to Edinburgh. Quiet neighbourhood and hostel atmosphere. Hostel manager very friendly- went out of his way to find me and wish me well on the rest of my travels.

Customers talked until midnight near to our bedroom so it was difficult to sleep. The manager was very nice and explain us all the things to know about Glasgow.

The Worst/ most Filthy Hotel I've ever stayed!

Bugs on the bed/bedsheets/duvet. Far from City. Staff aren't informative. Worst hostel I've ever stayed.

8/10 Very good

good value, personal service

This hostel is near to our son's place, so very convenient for us. Staff are friendly and helpful. Very good value for a twin room with ensuite shower/lavatory. Kitchen and lounge facilities clean and bright. Near train station so good transport links.

8/10 Very good

Rugby Trip to support Northampton Saints.

Visited to attend Glasgow Warriors game against Northampton Saints. Great down to earth accommodation, excellent shower and wash room facilities. Wonderful stone built town house with many original features. Common room was very quiet a good place to read / relax. Excellent position for train station. Very good budget priced overnight accommodation. Will use again when visiting Glasgow.

8/10 Very good

Was what we needed and just around the corner from a spoons and the train station perfect location!

8/10 Very good

Good value hostel

Comfortable room, good mattress, use of kitchen and lounge/sitting room available. Friendly and helpful staff. Very good value twin room with adjacent bathroom.

2/10 Poor

Wouldn't stay here again!

About 15 mins out of the centre of Glasgow, short walk from the station. I felt uneasy and uncomfortable for the duration of my stay. The kitchen was always a mess, and smelt bad, and it appeared that the hostel staff were staying at the hostel (in my room!) and drinking till the early hours. I didn't find the staff friendly, approachable or helpful in any way, and the whole experience made me not want to stay in a hostel AGAIN! I would definitely NOT recommend this hostel to anyone.

10/10 Exceptional

Alba Hostel Glasgow

Für eine Nacht ausreichend. Liegt vom Zentrum sehr entfernt. Standardzimmer mit null Komfort. Noch einmal dort übernachten? Eher nicht.

2/10 Poor

Attenzione, evitate con cura!

Un soggiorno da incubo!Le camere sporche e vecchie, materassi con le molle che ti entrano nei reni! i bagni senza prese per la corrente nè una mensolina dove appoggiare le tue cose; gli armadi a rischio che ti cadano addosso e le grucce rotte. In tutto l'ostello regna un tanfo di fritto proveniente da una cucina che sta in una stanza in seminterrato dove sei fortunato se non prendi il tetano. Il personale ?... simpatia portami via... ho detto tutto! ha.. non credo ci sia scritto tra le descrizioni dell'ostello.. ma l'ostello chiude alle 23.00 e se vuoi entrare dopo devi richiedere una chiave apposita, per la quale pagherai 5£ di deposito! :-) meglio saperlo prima. La posizione è discreta perchè la fermata degli autobus (tra cui il 6/6a che porta alla staz. bus centrale)è vicina e passano anche i notturni, tuttavia serve il bus per andare al centro. il prezzo sembra conveniente, ma in realtà è troppo alto per quello che offre; inoltre se paghi con carta c'è un sovrapprezzo di tasse non incluse nel costo iniziale. Se proprio ci tenete portate il Cash!

路边的小旅馆

定错酒店了，这根本不是酒店，两个房间一百镑还没早餐，厕所还是公用的。晚上关灯，灯还会闪呀闪。房间里的墙有黄色的液体痕迹。酒店里住了很多长期租房的房客。

Not recommend

Nobody in the reception for a long time, phone not answered. The triple room is in the half basement and smells a little. The kitchen is not clean. Charged 1.5 extra when charge the deposit, and the webpage says no fees using credit card.

Basic

Room was clean and cooking facilities were clean but thats where it ends im afraid.

グラスゴー郊外のユースホステル

グラスゴー中心部からは離れた所にあるユースホステルです。欧州圏内でのユースホステルは利用した事が無いので他との比較は出来ませんが、大体こういうものなんだろうな、という感じでした。スタッフの人もごく普通の対応をしてくれました。 部屋の居心地については、他の宿泊者によって大きく変わると思われるので何とも言えません。今回利用した時はごく普通でした。 グラスゴー中心部から歩いてくるのは距離があってかなり大変ですが、Anniesland駅からは歩いてすぐの距離にあるので、市内から来る場合は多少お金はかかっても鉄道でのアクセスをお勧めします。
