    It was a wonderful hostel, warm, spacious and great lighting. I like that there were lockers in your room (you must take your own padlock), and the shower and toilet were in separate rooms. There were also hooks and hangers to hang your coats.

    The hostel is made and managed quite well. There is a kitchen to cook and a few free stuffs are provided.

    I found the hostel easy to locate from Glasgow Central Station. For a first time traveller, I was impressed and relieved. The location also allows seamless access to nearby places like the Glasgow University which I also had to go to. An 8 minute...
