Revolver - Hostel

I stayed for use of the hot tub / sauna, but it wasn't available 😕. Big dorm room was okay and comfortable, but only because it had an air conditioner. The smaller dorms did not, and the air was stuffy as hell

The Revolver Hostel is like a 1970's fever dream, with a disturbing mural of an anime girl on the wall with magic dust up one nostril! Condoms and earplugs by the bed. Very responsible and who knew we were going to need them. The carpets in the halls are red and don't smell too good from lots of boys walking out of the shared showers, down the halls dripping. The ventilation isn’t too flash. Thursday night's EDM night club downstairs finished at 1am, but Friday night went until about 3am. Outside local drinkers, druggies, fighters and chancers mixed it with the too numerous local homeless community. The rival men's corset club, hotel, and 24 hour shop and teenagers letting loose provided more entertainment. (Lara don't waste your time on him he sounds like a loser.) Of course we couldn’t shut the window to keep a little noise out. Other than that the place was a Scottish gem.

Beds were not comfy also my bunk wasnt built great, wish the ladders were more sturdy as the bottom was falling off

Upon arrival, I was asked to pay my outstanding 18 pound fee. I was flabbergasted and said my fee had been paid. The guy punched the keyboard some more and said “oh, I made a mistake”. What he trying to rip me off? I was then given a key to my room along with the elaborate directions as to how to get there. When I arrived at the room, the room had not been serviced. The previous guest’s towels and sheets were still all in place. I returned to the front desk and was told to sit in the lobby where I waited for 30 minutes and finally my room is ready. I’ve been warned at this hotel was in a noisy District, which proved to be correct. That is not the reason I’m giving it a poor rating. The poor rating is because I was given a room that had not been cleaned.

We needed a safe place to sleep for an early start. We had an apartment. Which was spacious and gave us plenty of room for 7 of us

great

Very affordable and central. 10 mins walk from Glasgow Central Station. The single rooms consist of a dorm with holes in the wall with a mattress and a retractable screen. Temperature was very high probably had the worst night sleep of my life but for the price I can't complain. My bed hole was up a 6ft ladder so if you have issues climbing request a low bed.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff

I liked the simplicity of the check-in and check-out, the decor and cleanliness of the hotel, the bar area and the friendliness of the staff. The only complaint was a bit of noise in the morning like a washing machine in the next room.

Room was dusty and dirty in the windows and cabinet. Fan was half broken. Doors creaks, and slams when closed. Location is good, closed to major sites. Can be very noisy in the room at noght due to the clib on ground floor. Check your charges: Hotel double charged, and I have yet to get my refund after 10 days.

Overall this place was great value for money. Only issue was I stayed on the hottest day of the year and the windows don’t open and no fan. It was so hot I had to leave early but that’s unusual for Scotland!!

The Revolver is in great position to access local sights/public transport. It is budget accommodation. Clean. As advised it can be noisy at night as there is a night club across road. However wasn't as bad as we were expecting. Thee was lift access if needed. Staff friendly and helpful Good value for money.

It is very noisy at night. However, the service and staff are good.

My partner wrote these points for us both and sent them directly to Revolver. This was really quite the worst hotel stay I had had for some years. I would like to draw to your attention the following points:- 1) The 'ration' of water released by one push on the tap opening device in the washroom lasted only about 5 seconds, making it difficult to wash one's face or hands adequately. If you put enough soap on, it was difficult to get enough water to wash it off again properly. It was not possible to use a nailbrush because for that you need two hands under flowing water for rather more than 5 seconds. 2) The lighting over the washroom sinks was angled so that it was impossible to inspect one's eyes properly. 3) Even worse was the lighting of the mirror in the room itself. The lights were very dim and by the beds, nowhere near the mirror, which also faced the window so that even in daylight one's reflection was of a face in shadow. 4) As a result of these three points I developed an eye infection which troubled me for a whole week and required antibiotic ointment, which was very difficult to apply in these conditions. 5) The overall lighting in the room itself was so poor I had difficulty reading in bed, even on the first night before the eye infection developed. It was so dim I could barely find things in my luggage. Note that I do not usually have an eyesight problem, and despite the infection I could find things afterwards at another place where we stayed.

Not too far from both train stations.

Nice clean hostel room, showers are small but efficient, I'll definitely could stay there again, if a bring better noise blockers.

Good location and staff. That’s all that’s good with this property, you get what you pay for. By far the worst hostel I’ve stayed at.

Hallway smelt damp from the showers and the room opposite also had the same smell. Bed provided was occupied and had to return to reception to be reassigned.

This place is convinient especially for youngster who love in hipster style..hotel great but one thing i dont like, there is sound proof which is when somenone from next room step on floor, u can hear it clearly, it annoying.. hope hotel can improve. Overall great…

It is close to Glasgow Centre
