Liked: Attentive staff. Got more TP immediately, when we ran out. Great shower! LOTS of HOT water - and the bathroom was spotless. The bed was a little lumpy, but comfortable, with enough covers for the 60degree F nights. Good breakfast. Liked dropping off key at desk when leaving. Freshly painted dining room.

Disliked: Old building, generally felt dingy. Leak from hall skylight during rain. Labrynthine hallways, due to connection of multiple apartment buildings.

Liked: The rooms were VERY clean and nice. The beds were also good. The location was peaceful but only a few minutes from the centre. There was no noises, loud music etc. at all. A very good place to sleep well.They offered also a very good breakfast with lots of choices (from eggs to cereals and youghurt and toast to bacon). Also the toilets/shower rooms were quite luxorius and clean. The lounge was comfortable and cosy - a very nice place to meet new people. The reception gave a Glagow map when arriving, which was a big plus.Out of the 4 hostels we stayed at McLays was the only one to have tea making supplies, tv and phone in the room. We also enjoyed the fact that the hostel provided towels free of charge and even 24/7 reception.

Disliked: The breakfast ended quite early, at 9 am. That's the ONLY negative thing I have to say about this hostel!

Liked: Location. Friendly staff

Disliked: The rooms were far too hot an a hot summers night. The room radiator was off but even with the window wide open at night it was far too hot. The floor in my room was very warm. I can only assume underfloor heating or the hot water pipes ran under my room. Not pleasant at all. The only other let down was what was described as a Full Scottish Breakfast which consisted of bacon, beans, egg and a tattie scone. Nae sausages or black puddin. However the food was very delicious. But the tea cups were too small. Can't hold it by the handle with my big hands. Why can't places outside of genteel tearooms just use mugs as people do at home
