Bunkum is a 34 bed hostel in a beautiful historic building in the West End of Glasgow. The rooms are very large and there is free car parking and free Wi-Fi.

We are very near all the main museums, parks and good pubs and restaurants. "This hostel is like a quiet, peaceful island in a big, loud and busy city" - Ira, Austria
Bunkum is a small family run hostel set in a 150-year-old Victorian town house in Glasgow's vibrant West End. It offers clean, comfortable, budget accommodation to tourists and backpackers .Bunkum sits midway between Glasgow University and the city Botanic Gardens. The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Museum is in the same street and the Hunterian and Kelvingrove museums and galleries are all within a few minutes walking distance. The delights of Byres Road and Ashton Lane, where you can find many of the best pubs and restaurants in Glasgow are also close by.
The proximity of Glasgow University gives the area a cosmopolitan feel; its student population guarantees a tremendous variety of value food stops. Cheaper still you can cook your own in Bunkum's fully equipped, self-catering kitchen (for the exclusive use of guests) and wash it down with free tea and coffee.
Bunkum is a member of Scottish Independent Hostels, Scotland's biggest hostel organization, and one of only a handful of Scottish hostels to be awarded the prestigious "Let's Go" guide 'Thumbs-up' award.
