Euro Hostel Glasgow

The worst hotel experience of my life! Everything's dirty, you can't touch anything. We had to disinfect the bathroom when we arrived, and there was hardly any toilet paper left. The toilets don't have lids. There is no separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, which means that the bathroom is constantly flooded, with water running right up to the front door. Cleaning is never done. The cleaner comes every day to empty the garbage can, but in five days he has never picked up the dirty, wet towels (due to flooding) from the floor. Unpleasant staff. But above all they are dishonest. They charged us for smoking in the room, which is impossible because we are not smokers. They said they found ashes on the window sills. It’s unbelievable that they charge customers because their cleaning isn't done. What kind of hotel is this? Probably it is a scam to get money. So be careful, because your room will be dirty, and chances are you'll be charged for it. Avoid this hotel unless you want to be scammed or catch a disease.

Was here for one night. The check in staff were super helpful and finding the room was easy. There was a very welcoming atmosphere and the communal kitchen and living room were excellent. The room was not as expected. The floor was quite sticky and it was clear that it hadn’t been properly clean due to hair still being in the shower and on the bed sheets. Also, a bunk bed was given although a single bed was what was described and this was a bit annoying but for one night it was fine. The location and friendliness of staff did help make up for it.

I stayed in the private "suite". The room and bathroom had not been deeply cleaned in weeks - floors especially were very dirty around the edges. Staff is friendly, but I informed them of the issues during my stay, and they told me it would be fixed during the day. When I came back, nothing had been done. I understand this is a hostel, but when I stay in the private room I expect everything to be cleaned properly between guests. Other issues: Room was incredibly cold, and I had to turn on the radiator when I arrived to be able to stay in the room without my coat on. The bathroom stayed ice cold the entire stay. The lights in the ceiling were uncomfortably blinding, and I tried to keep them off most of the stay. The good bits: Location is nice, staff was friendly, the room was isolated from other parts of the hostel so low noise levels. Towels were included, bed was made. In conclusion: You have the opportunity to improve this hostel by making just basic adjustments - I see other people mentioning the hostel being dirty. One should be able to expect at minimum a clean space. Dirty private rooms are inexcusable - 1 star.

Friendly service at the front desk, 24hrs so can come and go as you please. I shared a 4 bed with other women who were nice enough and we trusted each other with our belongings. Mattress was surpringly comfortable and I sleep okay. The bathroom and sink areas could do with an update however. Having the sink and toilet separated makes no sense to me has it allows more germs to spread. Also means when someone is brushing their teeth etc at the sink it's right there in the room and not behind a door. Saying that, great value for just needing a place to sleep overnight when solo travelling.

It's cheap and it's in a good location. The private rooms are fine based on the one time I've stayed in one. The dorms are not great. The bunks are small, noisy and uncomfortable. You'd be better off in a tent. There aren't as many lockers as beds, which doesn't matter because they don't lock unless you have the exact size of padlock they're selling in reception. Surfaces are dirty and the bathroom fittings were all broken.

I booked the 14 person dorm, and it was clean and well maintained. You can’t control the people you’ll meet there, so can’t hold that against the hostel. The staff were friendly and quick to handle any issues that came up. Night staff was especially friendly, helpful, and made the stay even better! The location of the hostel is great! Right in the center of Glasgow, now far from both train stations and the subway. Great restaurants, pubs, and shopping in the immediate area as well. For the price, this hostel gets 5 stars for me. It’s a hostel, not a 5 star hotel, so the ratings are relative to what you’re paying for. I would gladly stay here again! Met some great people here too!

Located in the prime location of the city and had zero issues in checking in the restaurant. It has a lot of restaurants around so it shouldn't be a problem for food. They have lockers in the room but carry your own locks, the bathrooms and toilets were clean. We have hot showers all over the day and night. They provide duvets, bed sheets and towels. They also have a kitchen, which is open from 7am to 10pm and has a fridge where you can store your items. (Has a Lidl next to it) Overall I had a great experience! They have a bar in ground floor

The place has been refurbished since my last stay. It now looks more like a hostel and not the old student halls of residence it once was. Sound proofing between rooms is pretty poor. The room was dusty with lots of dark dust on the curtains which happen to be above the bed. When I closed the curtains this disturbed the dust. There was a used towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. This was from the last occupants as I booked a private room. WiFi speed was great. I didn't have breakfast but it looked nice from what I saw when I passed the breakfast area.

I was really hesitant on staying at hostels especially since that movie came out, you guys know what 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.

Low price = low quality 14£ a night p.p. including breakfast in a female dorm of 12 persons. 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. If one of this things are gone: unfortunately for you, they wont refill. Good places to stay cheap and just wanna drink and party in Glasgow. Otherwise: choose an other place.

Mattresses were the thickness of a deck of cards Shower drains got clogged Lockers didnt lock Too cold in the "Boom Room" Some staff rude Water is very expensive Iron and ironing board very poor quality Elevator is confused

Perfectly fine accommodation for a one night stay. Clean, functioning wifi, cute attached restaurant/lounge, and relatively affordable. A few points- - The woman who checked us in was completely unwelcoming. Gave us minimal information in an unenthusiastic manner. No, I don't expect crazy smiling and unending chatter, but at least pretend to be friendly? We asked about the airport bus and she gave the most vague instructions without offering any clarification. - We booked the eight person ensuite room. There are eight beds, one toilet in a separate room, two showers, and two sinks which are mysteriously placed directly in the room. This is fine, but when you have to be up at 4 AM and you're unable to turn on the lights or make too much noise, it's annoying to not be able to see what you're doing by the sinks. - It would be beneficial to have more sockets- we only had four. - It was incredibly warm in the room- with two windows, one was locked shut and the other only opened a crack. It was basically impossible to sleep without getting all sweaty and gross. - There was dirt on my bedding!! This is completely unacceptable and was one of my main complaints. The other people in our room were also very loud while we were trying to sleep- I realise this isn't the fault of the hostel, but it definitely contributed to my discomfort.

This is basically like a huge college dorm--not a lot of character but cheap, efficient and central. However, they just do not have enough staff on duty. I waited more than half an hour to check in, there were lines at the counter every time I went up so was never able to get directions to where I was going. When I went to bed, someone was already sleeping in it, and every bed in the room was full. I ended up sleeping in a conference room with a blow up mattress on the floor, unclean sheets. I should have been offered a refund or partial refund, as I didn't get the bed I paid for, but I wasn't. They need more staff to make sure everyone is safe--I got hit on in a slightly frightening way by the very drunk bar patrons, and middle age hostel clientele (weird, right?)--and to make sure things run smoothly. That said, the staff there were really really nice, and the location is very central. Overall, if you aren't looking for character, it's a great place and much more central and cleaner than many other hostels I've seen. Should add that I stayed here last year, but doubt anything has changed since!

You get what you pay for, so goes the old adage - and it applies here. I pay about £20 to get a private single room if I'm staying here. It makes sense as it's cheaper than a taxi home to my wee village after the last bus has gone, so being able to stay out late like a proper grown up is nice. The rooms have always been functional, clean and secure. The toilet and showers are basic, the lift can be a bit dodgy (I usually use the stairs, so it's a keep fit thing too, see) at times but at that price, and at that location, you can't really complain. Book through the website and there's all sorts of money saving options. Use the code GIG15 and you can get 15% off if you're attending a gig, for example. The staff are nice and efficient, but as said, there can be some issues with not enough of them! All the added extras you can slot onto your booking are pretty good too. It wouldn't be my first choice to stay if I had the cash, but for cheap n' cheerful (and if all you need is somewhere to wash and sleep) it's pretty much spot on.

I had a pretty decent experience here for it being my first hostel. The website said there were lockers and wifi in every room however my 4 bed room had neither. I made sure I locked my backpack down to the bunk but the other girls in my room ended up being nice. The room was noisy and faced the train station ( which I heard all night ) as well as drunks in the street despite me being on the 9th floor. The lift ( or elevator for us Americans ) was slow and sometimes didn't work. The room was overall clean. Hardwood floor, bunk beds, a tiny shower and toilet. The kitchen area smelled a bit odd and the couches in the public room with wifi were old. The bar was nice and the staff friendly. Who can beat 10 quid for 2 pints and a burger? I would stay here again but only for a few days.. 4 nights was too many.

There are 2 things going for this hostel. 1. Location and 2. Free wifi. That's about it. Lina G has it right... this is a college dorm. Except no one goes to school and has to study, so everyone is out partying instead. They're all in the lounge area, in the lobby, in the bar, outside, everywhere. It is horrible. I thought I had booked an 8 male dorm, but when I arrived they said I booked a 14 male dorm, but they were all full so they gave me a 4 male dorm. No complaints from me! Surprisingly, this is one of the few hostels where I got along with a roommate. He was a kiwi from New Zealand and we talked a lot about random stuff. We did have our separate agendas, so I went off on my own to explore Glasgow. I was going to give a 3, but I think a 2 is better suited. If I'm traveling alone through Glasgow ever again, I'm avoiding EuroHostel. If I'm with someone, then maybe... you can't beat the location.

Okay the clue is in the name, this place is cheap so it's not as if I was ever expecting a fully furnished and spacious room or even a working shower (although jeez does the shower work, it was like being startled by the Glasgow fire service). What I don't expect though is pants under my bed which obviously belonged to the last person using the room. So no, I wont be staying here again.

Pretty cheap place located near the centre of Glasgow (and with cheap I mean cheap and not low priced). We got a 2 bed private room and it was really small (ok, that was expected). The shower looked like it was in need for a refurbishment for years already and there was no hot water at all. The breakfast was made up of cereals and white bread with marmalade. For everything else you had to pay extra. In the bar we where not allowed to show our St. Pauli shirts (because they are connected to Celtic). The staff was pretty nice though. The next time I will look for some place else to stay.

I've stayed here twice now and have had a good experience each visit. The map and instructions they provide on their website are easy to follow and it's not so far to walk from either train station in the city. I stayed in a larger room which was the cheapest option. The dorms are separated in to gender as well as mixed rooms. There was a couple of shower rooms and two toilets available in the room. There are lockers available in the rooms so remember to take your own pad lock or nip to Poundland (you'll pass it on your way down) they also sell them at reception. There's a bar area which is nicely finished and almost a solo venue in it's own right. There's a TV room with loads of tatty sofas to chill out on. The breakfast available in the morning is an added bonus. You can help yourself to different cereals with milk or take some natural yogurt. There's orange or apple juice as well as teas, coffee and hot chocolate from a small machine. Watch your bread magically turn to toast on the conveyorbelt machine.

Wer mit dem auskommt, was früher Jugendherbergen zu bieten hatten, findet hier genau das Richtige. Ein Poolbillard, eine Dartscheibe und eine Wii sind kostenlos in Beschlag zu nehmen. Die Osmosis-Bar im Grundgeschoß bietet gute Musik und eine ausreichende Auswahl an Getränken.

Do not leave your bags in their bag storage! There is no security to it and anyone can walk in and out of there as they please. I had my international phone charger stolen from my bag and my friends bag had been gone through when we returned. Very disappointed and will not be staying here again.

It's a cheap hostel, the beds are okay. I really wouldn't mind if they would fit the room with a temperature control panel, fricking hot the entire night. Breakfast was shit.

I actually booked a room at the hostel through an American company online after looking for a cheap room for a night out in Glasgow for my friend and I ... At £23.00 per night, we were more than impressed with this 'no frills' private double room. Ok the shower was small and the sink was next to the bed ... But who cares!!! It was clean and cheerful for the purpose of bed for the night. Great friendly staff, laundry room (I used the iron), games room, free wifi, brilliant breakfast, nice bar and very close to the night life etc. Definitely use this place again as I didn't realise you could get a private double room .... And if you want a heads up for the website I used? Getaroom .... Happy hosteling.

I would give no stars if I could. New to this type of accommodation but the booking showed an image of a single bed with a bar for hanging storage, but it was a 8 or ten bunked room. I can;t do top bunks due to health conditions, none were asked for!! Filthy shower, disgusting and the room stank, no new air in that room for a long time. Left after 2 mins of viewing the room!! Never again, for the young ones but not for a middle aged woman!!

While I have stayed in many cheap hotels without any frills and eexpectedvery little in regards to the room. I was floored by the smell of the room when I opened the door. It smells like a combination of pool water and cat piss. While I don't expect the floors to be free of stains in a place this cheap, can they spend some money at the pound store for some candles and febreeze? They put more money into the lobby and restaurant then they do the rooms.

As other visitors have noted - you get what you pay for. We had a private room for two with bathroom en suite. While the complex itself is huge and amazing - cafe, bar, left luggage, lounges, bathrooms - and in a fantastic location at the heart of Glasgow, the plumbing and shower facilities in our room were disappointing. The elevators weren't working very well in the building. Breakfast was also disappointing (soy milk please!). The price was unbeatable though. If you're an easygoing type, this should do. This place is not for the high-maintenance.

Upon our arrival, the initial impact of a facade of yellow scaffolding invoked an ominous feeling of a holiday from hell, you catch late at night on channel four. Our fears turned out to be unfounded, for what transpired was almost a euphoric experience shared equally among our group of merry men, For instance the lure of the luscious hallway carpet was too much for one of us, he gave in to its lures and bedded it on the second night ( See picture attached ) Our room facilities were adequate however courtesy rules were in play, You had to go to level minus two to do number two. What initially appeared to be an inconvenience transcended into something much greater than that, a quick stroll to the elevator, my personal preference was to push the ground button and then minus two, this left me with 10 second window on the ground floor to experience the chaos of the bar which juxtaposed with tranquility of minus two, really accentuated my overall experience, You see minus two is quiet, there is very little foot traffic, the ceilings are low creating a very personal feel. I think in heaven the toilets are always free, Minus two is no different There is no rustle, no bustle, in minus two, I like to think there is no cell phone coverage but I would never be foolish enough to bring a mobile device to taint these precious moments which are becoming rare in today's modern world. Should you stay in this hostel? I dont know you, or if you take sh*t as serious as me, but someday I will be back for minus two whether I stay the night or not.

Cheap and cheerful, nothing special. Mostly clean (although I spilled water on the floor and when I mopped it up...EW). Staff were a bit surly. Bar is average. You have to pay extra for breakfast and secure storage. Great deals on private rooms though!

I went to Scotland in summer of '08 with some buddies for a week of golfing, drinking, golfing and drinking. We flew into Glasgow from TO and stayed at the Euro Hostel. I've stayed in tons of hostels before but none like this. It was like a freakin' hotel! We were going to stay just one night before heading over to Edinburgh but we got so trashed in the bar we stayed an extra night. The bar was great and the staff were fun too. My buddy's a DJ here and the DJ in the bar let him go on the decks. Drinks were cheap and the local girls are 'friendly'.... We had a 4 bed room to ourselves and we had our own washroom in the room too. The room was clean, big and the beds were fine. The reception staff were great too. Stay here guys.. you won't regret it. Middle of the city too.

Upgraded us for free to a private room which was really nice (and didn't squeak!) except the shower had water going everywhere! Great water pressure though, especially for a hostel. Location is pretty good, right on the river and a 5 minute walk from central.

My bed was soaked through with someone else's dank pee. I climbed into bed at 11:30 and my pajamas and feet got wet. As all my other roommates were sleeping, I decided to talk to the front desk in the morning and sleep in another bed. The front desk assistants barged into my room without knocking (my roommates were changing) and refused to make reparations, even after seeing the pee. I asked for a refund and they denied me saying I should've talked to them last night. Obviously the linens had not been changed. Horrible service! Bring a cot if you're staying here!

I have stayed at the Euro Hostel on many occasions, always in a double or twin with private ensuite. When it used to cost about £36 for 2 people for 1 night, I felt it was extremely good value given the fantasic central location of the hostel, the private facilities and friendly staff. However, more recently it costs in excess of £50 for the same. I can only assume you are paying for the location as the rooms are quite dated, grubby and could do with a face lift. Cant comment on the breakfast as we have never been up on time to sample it. Now prefer to stay at Etap hotel, which although is further away on the other side of the water, only costs £32 for a (modern, clean) room that sleeps up to 3 people (no breakfast included here though).

The few times I stayed at this hostel, I wasn't impressed. Their rooms are barren and unfriendly, and once I was woken up late at night by a fire alarm. Apparently, someone somewhere did something minor. Can't remember what it was. However, as a traveler, I will take what I can get so long as it's a reasonable price. One thing I could not understand was why their prices was advertised for $10 up for dorms, and when I arrivef it was £20. I have just called ahead of time to ask if they had any accommodation for this evening. The lady replied that she only had bunk beds in dorms. I was relieved to hear that - until she told me it would be £20. I asked her why it was £20 when the web said it was £10. She replied that they put the price up when it wasn't booked in advance, and besides that they only had a few rooms left. So that's why I paid double what it advertised on the web. I won't be using Euro hostels anymore. I have never heard of hotels putting up the advertised price if one didn't book a few weeks or a few days in advance. It's unethical.

great rooms for the price and good if theres a big crowd as rooms are big in a good area near bars and clubs and lots of food places nearby mcdonalds is only across the road.

Clean and safe environment with nice enough rooms and fantastic value; prices start fromm £13.95 per person per night. There is a kitchen area where you can prepare your own food, as well as a bar which is also open to the public. The staff are helpful and can arrange trips for you eg tours. The breakfast is too basic for my liking; as someone who is wheat and gluten intolerant, I could not eat either the bread or cereal which was on offer so went without. In contrast, YHA hostels which are the same sort of price, offer cooked food. I would happily have paid a supplement and I noticed other customers also asking for this.
