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.

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.
