Safestay Glasgow Charing Cross 25-27 Elmbank Street, Glasgow G2 4PB

"Rude staff and you have to pay to store your luggage. Did not let us check in early although the room was ready. You have to bring your own towels. 2 stars because the price is okay."

"There were a couple of good points. I quite liked the bed which was clean, comfortable, study and had privacy curtains. The bed was the highlight. Overall, the hotel was clean. Also, the hostel's location was central enough. Finally, the service at the front desk was OK. However, there were a number of things I wasn't keen on. First, having an ensuite bathroom in an 8-person dorm was a bad idea. Every time someone flushed the toilet, they woke me up. Furthermore, the bathroom made the room smell bad at times (you know what I mean). Second, the hostel had a few small hangout spaces but these were mostly packed, so it was hard to find a place to hang out. Third, most of the people staying at the hostel were students living there due university accomodation shortages. Consequently, the hostel lacked the international traveller vibe that most hostels have. Although the hostel was mostly clean, the bin in the main social area was overflowing. Additionally, you must have your own padlock to lock the locker. Really, they should be providing padlocks. Lastly, £44 per night is rather expensive for a hostel, especially an average one like this. Overall, this hostel is acceptable if you don't want to pay hotel prices and just need a bed for the night. Don't expect much more than that though."

"Really good hostel. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Each room had own bathroom. And each bed had own curtain and locker. Good location. Just 1 minutes by walk from train station. I will come here again. Recommend who need short stay at Glasgow."

"Dorm room was fine and curtains around bed is nice. Staff at reception were very friendly. Breakfast very basic for the price. Only things on offer were cornflakes, scrambled eggs (way too salty), beans, couscous, croissants, and bread with ham, processed cheese or jam. On the plus side the croissants were lovely and fresh! Would have been far better with the addition of some muesli, yoghurt and fruit etc."

"Amazing B&B, found it on very short notice, extremely affordable and i was pleasantly surprised that our room had a fire stick which had Netflix and Disney plus already setup at no extra charge. Though there was no drink making facilities the bathroom had complimentary toiletries. When we were running late for our booking the staff were really easy to communicate with and were more than content to keep our booking. The building is gorgeous, check in was easy and the location was perfect for where we needed to be. Really took a weight off of the trip."
