Glasgow Backpackers Reviews
Based on 19 Hotel ReviewsRoom and toilet is dirty, smell bad, in a word, bad-managed
Thanks for such a wonderful stay at Glasgow Backpackers! Staff was very helpful and the stay was very pleasent. Will recommend it to others.
Didn't like the place, wasn't clean
I thought it was way beyond the standard I expected. The bathrooms were dirty. The staff were drunk. The place stunk of cigarettes
Nice staff, well located. The furniture and carpets seemed a little old but were clean
