Great place to stay, clean rooms and the location is the best. Very friendly and accommodating staff.
Wonderful place, awesome manager
Thank you very much for your review, we look forward to seeing you again next year.
Staying at Riverside was a pleasant experience for me as a fresher. Ali was very helpful and I couldn't have found a better place for me to stay. The atmosphere here is very positive and I'm currently in my second year of stay and looking forward to stay here in the future! plus Views from here are awesome!
Thank you for your review. Its a joy to have you stay here and next year will be even better.

Thank you for your kind words, it is a pleasure to receive such a great review. If you ever return to Glasgow you are always welcome to stay at Riverside.
Nice and clean place with great location in the city centre of Glasgow, receptionists are friendly and helpful.
Thanks for the great review.
It is an excellent place to stay. Lovely, clean and spacious rooms. The location is the best: right in the city center. All types of shops and the train station are just nearby. You will also have a wonderful view from your window. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The manager will do his best to make sure students feel safe and comfortable here.
Thank you very much for the detailed review, it was a pleasure having lovely people like yourself staying at Riverside
Excellent location, supermarkets, shops, subway, bus stations 1 min walking distance away which is super convenient. The building inside looks fresh and has a great renovation. Views from the Clyde rooms are some of the best you can get in town. The receptionist Ali is a very pleasant guy and will solve all your problems. Overall perfect place to stay, can't recommend enough!
Great location, friendly staff and a safe environment for studying during the pandemic. I will be staying here again
My time spent at Riverside house was lovely. The location is right in the center of Glasgow, almost on Buchanan Street which is perfect. My room was spacious, modern and clean and the wifi was strong. During Covid, the staff went to many lengths to ensure we were all safe. Ali who is on reception is great, always a friendly face to chat to and would do anything to help you out. I would definately recommend staying at Riverside House.
Location is amazing it’s close to the shops, train station etc. The rooms are clean. If you’re looking for a quiet place- this is it ! The receptionist Ali was really nice and welcoming. Giving 4 stars because i had some issues with my room (heater was broken, leaks in my bathroom etc..) but i guess it was just the room that was given to me unfortunately.
Staying here has been great and easy by being situated in the centre of the city with many shops and the subway nearby. The price of this place compares well against other accommodations, is comfortable, secure and clean and the staff have been great, especially the property manager Ali who is kind and always there to help.
If you want a quiet place to work, this accommodation is perfect. The building is secure and the view over the Clyde is fantastic. In addition, Ali, the manager, is very attentive, kind and helpful. If we have any problems, we can really count on him
I will stay for a third year because this accommodation is just perfect. The location is excellent, close to many shops in the city centre, the common rooms are clean, and the manager Ali does an exceptional job in managing the accommodation and helping the students. Thank you Ali!
Staff was very friendly and flexible whenever I had problems regarding the property.
The location is perfect, there's absolutely nothing in terms of social experiences but Ali at the reception is a gym
It was a good experience to stay here. The location is very central and the river view is great. Ali is very helpful and friendly person. He sincerely helped when I faced some issues.
The on site management staff, especially Ali are fantastic, always there to help. The building is in a great location right in the city center close to shops and the main train station. The main issue with Riverside is the Company operating the building. During covid they did not provide proper support such as refunds for less amenities provided, staff time on-site etc. also the front door has been intermittently broken for the past week which has been reported numerous times but not properly fixed.
Location is perfect, studio's are modern and Clyde view is very nice. The staff are very nice (Ali is very kind and helpful). Not much in social experience but this wasn't an issue. I will be back next year.
This was my first time staying at Riverside and I could not have asked for a better place to live. I am a mature student and did not have any issues. Ali was awesome. Anything that we needed he was there to help even if we just needed someone to talk to. The Covid-19 lockdown was hard on many of the students, but everything in our building ran smooth and if there was an issue he was on the case even if it was 3 am. I would recommend this student accommodations to anyone.
Been staying at Riverside House for 2 years and have only good things to say about it. In my opinion, great value for money. Situated very close to St Enoch's subway station and Central. Excellent support from the on-site receptionist Ali, who is always happy to help and answer questions.
I am pleased to be staying at this accommodation for 2years as i have enjoyed every service offered without forgetting our amazing receptionist of riverside Ali.
Central location, very close to public transport. Property team are extremely helpful. Coming back for 3rd year
During the year I have been able to compare with my friends' accommodation and I am very happy to have chosen this one. Riverside is really very well placed (Central Station, shops ..), always very clean, rooms are really comfortable and in general the accommodation is pretty quiet. I plan to stay next year for all these reasons but mostly because of Ali, he is always available and helps us a lot. I know that if he's here I won't have any problem about anything.
Friendly place to study with good prices and amazing staff, Ali brings a great friendly and welcoming vibe, I will be re booking next year. Modern studios with good views and in city centre.
I've enjoyed my year here, I really like my studio and I was able to make my room feel very comfortable. I've generally gotten along with my housemates very well and I've gotten along with staff well too. Everyone has been kind, friendly and respectful and generally the handling of measures needing to be taken due to the pandemic has gone swiftly. Being right by the city centre has been really convenient and the experience overall has been good.
The location of riverside is perfect as its close to all the shops , bus stop, train station and underground station. It is very accessible ! Rooms are well spacious and modern :) Ali is truly the best , he has been there for me since I moved into riverside and always making sure Im all good. He goes beyond his job. YOU ARE A LEGEND ALI :) THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY STAY WORTHWHILE
Living at Riverside this year has been great and helped me to focus on my studies in a calm and welcoming environment. The river front location is a nice change from the hustle of town while still having easy access to all of Glasgow. Ali is always available at reception for a motivational chat or to help with any problems or advice.
Great location and amazing staff, Ali is great with people and a great host.
Decent accommodation and is central to Glasgow. Premium studios are very spacious and good to live in while studying. Ali is the best receptionist to have as he always manages to uplift you even on the worst of days.
Riverside is very central, clean and spacious. Ali is very helpful and the wardens are nice. There aren’t many social events as people tend to keep them self to themselves but that didn’t bother me as I also do.
Not the best Student Halls. Would recommend looking elsewhere or making sure ur agreements are in writing as staff and management like to forget they promised you something. Not the only one who feels this way. Regret my decision and so does my parents tremendously :(
