The room itself was exactly the same. Overall, the layout and king bed are always enjoyable, but the hard floor makes for a difficult experience if you're trying to do some in-room stretching/yoga/exercising. A couple things unique to my visit in Glasgow: -During check-in, it asked me what type of room I'd like (meaning, the level/view). I chose a lower room, as it said it was a city view. This was more like a view of the building across the street on the west side of the building. But the lower room was good because... -One of the elevators wasn't working when I checked in, so being able to take stairs up to my room was something I took advantage of. -The actual spot in Glasgow I found very convenient for my purposes. I was able to walk to the university area in about 25 min, as well as over to my favorite spot (Mono/Monorail) in the same amount of time. It was also very close to the Glasgow Queen St station. So all in all, a good experience and I would definitely stay here again.

The shower area is frosted glass so your silhouette is on full show so be aware of this. The staff here are so lovely and welcoming and helpful and we had such a wonderful stay and would 100% stay again.

I was really hesitant on staying at hostels especially since that movie came out, you guys know…read morewhat I'm talking about, but let me tell you! If a prissy girl from San Diego can enjoy her stay so will you! My husband and I had just arrived from Edinburgh and we really didn't know what to expect. We had booked a private room like we had done so in other hostels and since we arrived early they let us check in without any hesitation or fuss. We got to our room and I thought it was going to be as tiny as the one before, but NO! It was huge, it was as big as a standard hotel room, our room came with its own tv and private bathroom and a pretty decent size bed. The bed was really rough, it's not as soft and plush as our Hilton room back in London but it did the job for the day we were there. After exploring through Glasgow, we came back to our hostel and explored the connecting bar. We ordered a cheese toastie and chicken wings (don't get them) and a couple cocktails. For staying the hostel you do get a small discount but hey I'll take it. Toastie was good but the chicken wings were a bit flabby so don't get it, but they do have really good deals on their drinks which is always great for me! When we checked out the next morning the receptionist got us a really great deal on a cab for the airport. I really like how personable everyone here is and we really enjoyed our stay. Prices were great but the accommodations were what stood out for us.

This what we get: No working lockers ( you couldn't close the doors of the lockers so try to lock it with a lock (which you could buy for 2 pounds on the eeception) was impossible. Toilet smells like swimming pouls and that didn't get any better after a few hours, but they were clean. Everything looks very used, so the floor shows you some dirty spots under the beds and in the corner. The shower was freezing: no warm or hot water to be found. With a fire alarm there were no employees in the building, just two persons with walkie talkies down stairs.. The doors of the room aren't closing well if you not slamming or pulling them to close. The beds are clean and The rooms are big enough. The including breakfast means: free tea or coffee, toast with butter and jam, cornflakes and milk and if you're lucky some exotic fruits.

Liberty House is a student residence in downtown Glasgow that is also available for short term…read moresummer travellers. It is run by the Liberty Living company which has private student residences throughout the UK (by private, I think it means that the residence is not affiliated with any one school.) Liberty House is a great option for the budget or group traveller. The rooms are small but clean and have everything you need (except towels and loo paper - BYO). It's like going back to your 7th Grade bedroom. Every 4 or 6 rooms have a designated kitchen so you can prepare your own meals if you wish. All the basics equipment is provided but nothing fancy. The staff at LH are wonderful folks. Friendly, round-the-clock care. Note, however, this is not a hotel. You carry your own bags, make your own bed, and follow the rules, especially with respect to noise and cleaning up after yourself in the kitchen. This is a great location if you want to be near the centre of the action. It is steps away from the Modern Art Gallery, Buchanan shopping street, and not far from Glasgow Green. It is affordable but not picturesque and it can be noisy, especially since there is no AC (It is Glasgow, after all) and windows must be opened on warm nights. Try to get a room that faces the courtyard and not Queen Street. There is an after-hours bar on Queen that runs until 4 a.m. on the weekends. I peeked out my window at 3:30 and the street scene looked like Daytona Beach Spring Break. Bring along ear plugs, get the white noise app on your iPad or turn off your hearing aid.

The Good: - Super cheap hotel right in the centre of…read moreGlasgow. - Decent breakfasts served from 7-9am. The Less-than-Good: - A shower that had a) barely found lukewarm (let alone hot), and b) was about as powerful as a sloth taking a piss. - Wi-fi only available in the breakfast room. - Wi-fi seemingly not available at all on laptops. - No TV remote. - A fire alarm that goes off at 5am 3 out of 6 nights (50% of the time, it works everytime!) - Need to leave your key at reception whenever you leave, meaning a lenghty wait for it back if the receptionist has taken a walk or there are other folk checking in. - 30% of plug sockets out of order. A decent price for anyone spending a night in the city, but for stays any longer than a couple of nights, invest a little more. Not really worth paying for everything that was wrong with it.

HOWEVER, the room-maximum rule is STRICTLY enforced. We were trying to fit 7 people into the 5-person suite and through the whole process with getting the key from reception each time we were found out (even though it was a different person at reception, so they must keep note of who the guests are when they check in). We were told the extra people could not stay so we had to find extra accommodations on a weekend in Glasgow where literally every hostel was booked. This is forgivable, because I'm sure they have lots of people trying to fit as many people into the cheap rooms in order to save money. In all other aspects, they were extremely hospitable: they allowed us to check in early and keep our luggage in the building after we checked out. It would have just been nice to know how strict they are on the room occupancy beforehand.

When we visited them we saw their room which was a good size with a small ensuite. Although the decor was dated within the room, it was kept very clean and smelt fresh. The proximaty to Byres Road and Great Western road is a real advantage and the traffic could not be heard from the front bedroom. There are many stairs in the property so I would not recommend this for disabled guests, or people with small children. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the West End of Glasgow, and for the space.
