 Brooke from USA stayed here on 01st September 2010
The very first thing out of their mouths..."let me show you around"! That was the first time a hostel was that inviting and warm. We felt welcomed and at home. Highly enjoyed the residential area and the restaurant Witherspoon’s it was affordable food and great beer. Once again, highly recommend this hostel to anyone viewing this site. We were not disappointed!

While I enjoyed the time I spent with the staff at Alba, there ar eno locks on the room doors and it is no where near the city center. Fortunately there is a train basically right outside the hostel. My main concern was the fact that there are no locks on room doors, but the staff are REALLY great fun. It also just doesn't have a lot of character, but, again, the staff makes up for it.

v easy to find if you're driving in from the north - but since there are two roads with the same name in the city, take note that its the postcode G12, off Great Western Road.

 rebeccadumbell6182 from UK stayed here on 24th August 2010
Bathroom was damp and there were suspicious hairs in the shower and sink. Otherwise a fairly pleasant place to stay with clean beds, friendly staff and good carparking facilities. It would have been better if there were tea and coffee facilities readily available for guests and perhaps some communal cups and plates, particularly for those only staying one or two nights. The rooms had no locks on and it would have been very easy for a male guest to enter a female room on the ground floor, this would have troubled me if I were travelling alone and were alone in a dorm on the ground floor and had specifically requested a female only room.

Very nice clean hostel, comfortable and good facilities, pretty quiet however so if you are looking for a party, this is not the place. Staff always willing to help.

Not the friendliest boss (but otherwise good staff), and a fair way out of the city. A nice building with good bathrooms and facilities.

 Jax stayed here on 11th August 2010
No Atmosphere. The rooms were very clean,the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms/showers very good. But the Hostel itself had a dead atmosphere. Anniesland is very out of the way for exploring Glasgow, and the town itself is dull. After the first night we were woken at 8am, as the manager came in to tell us we were put in the wrong beds(they told us these were the beds we were to sleep in the night before). As if that couldn't have waited until we woke up. Then he came back half an hour later with a

Clean, free parking, close to train station. Wifi was spotty. No locks on doors and not enough lockers in each room.
