Revolver - Hostel
Staff were courteous, room service was given. All I’d say is my personal preference next time is I wouldn’t stay in the 16 bed dorm it smelled of feet and was stuffy

Fraser Suites Glasgow
Bigger than expected! Definitely worthwhile for a couple or family. Very close to barrowland which was ideal for me. Only downside was there is a bar downstairs and you could hear the music until late which might keep some people awake. Other than that had a fantastic stay and will be coming ...
