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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The room did not match the photos—everything was quite dated, and the bathroom was noticeably unclean. I even hesitated to take a shower due to the poor condition.

Key card issues the whole time, staff could not figure it out, went through 4 people and 6 cards. I paid for access to a room I didn’t get. No common area. It has the most basic essentials, literal bare bones. Not a great starter hostel for solo travelers.

Good location, Very basic surroundings

Budget hostel, in good location. Very cheap and cheerful. Rooms were very basic, but clean. Stayed with family (3 kids), it worked as a place to lay your head. A little noisy at night, plenty of students staying there etc. Overall satisfactory but nothing you'll be writing home about
