First impression: 'I want to go back home!'


I came to Glasgow with two friends met during my studies. We planned to look for a flat upon our arrival because we knew that it existed some scams with online ads. So we booked a youth hostel a few days before coming.

It was 22:00 when we arrived at our youth hostel by taxi. The one and only thing we wanted was to know our bedroom number and curl up in our bed to sleep instantly! But nothing went as planned... Indeed, the person at the reception told us that our booking hadn't been registered by the software whereas we had received by email and printed the booking confirmation. For our first night in Glasgow, we stayed on the bench in the common room of the hostel. What a nightmare!


Our apartment search proved more complicated than expected. We thought stay 3-4 days in hostel but we still were there two weeks later... Even if the hostel was clean it was tiring because it wasn't our home and we couldn't unpack our luggage.
