Hi there, Thank you for your review and we are so glad you have enjoyed your time here with us at Gibson Street. We are also very pleased you find the staff supportive too and have felt like this really has been your home away from home. Thank you again and have a fantastic day - Brian
•Perfect location, really close to the University of Glasgow and many shops on the road •Friendly and helpful staff •Nice common and study room, but rather small and no other spaces like gym etc •Overpriced
Hi there, Thank you for your review and yes our location is very well suited to anyone studying at Glasgow University and there are a lot of local businesses nearby too which is very conveniant. We are happy you think the staff are helpful and friendly. We hope you're having a great time while staying with us. We are a smaller building with only 93 rooms and limited space which means we are unfortunately unable to provide a gym etc I'm afraid. If there is anything else you wish to discuss please contact us at gibson.street@studentroost.co.uk Thank you again and have a fantastic day. - Brian
The location is really convenient because the University of Glasgow is only five minutes far from here. The building is nice and the staff is helpful. The common areas are modern and clean, however, we don't have more facilities(e.g. gym or games). I am disappointed because we don't have a cleaning service although there was in our contrast. Furthermore, the drying machines are totally useless as we have to dry our clothes three times in order to be dry, which means more money! There are a lot of problems and I think it is absolutely overpriced.
Hi there, Thank you for your review and yes our location is very well suited to anyone studying at Glasgow University which one of our main selling points. I can only apologise about the cleaning services. This was something that was completely taken out of our hands that we unfortunately are unable to offer. We are happy you think the staff are helpful and the building is nice. We try our best to make sure while staying with us we give you the best service we can. The drying machines should hopefully be fixed very shortly. A new extractor fan needs to be to be attached to the ducting system to help improve drying.

Good location, a five minute walk from the University of Glasgow library. Friendly stuff who try to be helpful. Before booking I was promised cleaning service for shared areas such as kitchen, which however never happened. We have to clean by ourselves. The common room is big and has a tv. The common areas are nice. The washing machines are okay but the drying machines do not dry the clothes properly at all. All in all my experience is a positive one in terms of social experience, location and the room itself, but I think it's a little overpriced since some facilities and services could be better.

I feel comfortable to live here. The staffs here are very nice, friendly and responsible. Besides, it is very close to the school of education, the library and the main building. Especially, I seems to be safe at night because there are some shops opening very late.
