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.

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。

4/10 Fair

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.
