| 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. |
