Revolver Glasgow

Revolver Glasgow

10/10 Excellent
"Staff is kind. Bunk beds and the rooms always clean. The hostel is the perfect spot near everything, especially since it’s near that train or bus station that walkable distance to travel back to the airport or go explore the rest of Scotland. But since it’s in Merchant City, it can get noisy at night with people hanging around the local bars talking snd yelling loudly. But the stay provide earplugs in the room which is nice,"

"Location was near yet far enough from the main shopping/tourist areas, and accessible to the main train and subway stations. The rooms were clean and good-sized though the basic tier rooms may get a tad squeezy for two people. The on-site restaurant and self-service laundromat were clinchers."
