My stay at the hostel was filled with quite a few ups and downs. The charming atmosphere and opportunities for socializing with fellow guests added a magical touch for my daughter and her friends, making it a fun experience. However, the experience varied, as some aspects left a lot to be desired, particularly regarding basic amenities and room access for my disabled partner. While the value for the price was decent, the lack of basic comforts like a TV and kettle was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at this hostel. On one hand, the charm of the heritage building and the tidy communal spaces were impressive. On the other hand, my room situation was quite disappointing due to the absence of basic amenities that I expected. The location is decent being near Kelvingrove Park, but the uphill navigation with luggage can be a real hassle. Overall, I found some good and bad elements that need improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hostel. The private room I stayed in was clean and tidy, and the staff were genuinely helpful and accommodating. However, the location felt a bit distant from the main attractions, requiring a longer walk. While I appreciated the charm of the building, some amenities were lacking, which affected the overall comfort. I would suggest this place to those seeking a unique stay but advise planning transport options for convenience.
