I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked Safe Stay, but I am glad I did. Staff was friendly and the location was great for us. There are lots of shops (not just the high priced ones) and dining options around. It was fun walking down pedestrian street area. I would stay at Safe Stay in Glasgow again.

Beds are comfortable, rooms are on the small side. The bathroom was a bit moldy. Since it’s a hostel it was pretty noisy in the hallways (mostly quiet after 10) and we did have a few people come knocking down the hall doors late at night. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

I enjoyed my stay here. I arrived a little early so we were able to wait in the sitting room that is provided.I did have some trouble sleeping as there was construction right behind the room. As a woman I felt incredibly safe here and would recommend here.

Comfy and clean

Friendly staff, had no problem over the 3 nights I stayed over. Funny enough it was the same place my friend stayed a few months back. Room clean, easy access. I booked a double room with private bathroom. Would recommend. Shops nearby if needed, bus stop within walking distance.

Very very basic hotel. The carpets need a either a huge clean or full replacement, doesn’t look great to see big stains when you walk in. we had a double room ensuite. It seemed clean enough. For 1 night It is fine, except the thin uncomfortable mattress and the 1 skinny pillow. If they improved that my score would be higher! Handy location but I’m not sure it should be on Expedia as a hotel. It’s really a hostel.

(First the check in time was 3pm, so i had to wait 6 hours before I was able to get into my room.) This property is good for 2-4 nights. When i arrived they had staff cleaning and in fairness the cleaner was doing good job. The place is not far from Queen Station but it's surrounded by roads that go up and down hills lol. You also have to pay £6 for a towel to dry yourself if towels are needed, but the bed was cosy enough to sleep in. Each bed has curtain which you can pull to provide more privacy. In general not a bad place but it be far between if check in time was before 3pm. Supermarkets close by and you can return to your room anytime through the night if you out at night. 😊
This is a 4 bed dormitory. There's lockers to use but you need your own padlock or you can buy one at reception.

The Hotel wasn't clean. The first night an someone came into our room, although every room had a separate digital key. Staff couldn't explain how this was possible and didn't do anything to be sure it couldn't happen again. Beside the hotel there were two building sites with very loud building activities from 7am until 6pm. All in all, not an ideal accomodation.
