Does what it says on the tin. What it does not say is there is a great atmosphere, like an agatha christie houseparty, there are discounts for musicians and there always seems to be some band staying there doing a gig in the city. A lot of theatre people, performing or viewing stay there also so it adds up to one fantastic atmosphere. I've returned a couple of times and always enjoyed it

This is the second time i've stayed at Glasgow Backpackers, coming back for its location and its prices. You are getting what you pay for though - a roof to sleep under whilst taking a break from enjoying the city. No hot water/showers, i didn't check out the kitchen so can't give comment there, the TV/lounge room downstairs is good.

I loved staying at Glasgow backpackers and so did all my friends. It was such a friendly and laid-back enviroment. We all really felt at home and we will all be back in the near future. Can't wait!
