Alba Hostel Glasgow

I've wrote a review months ago on trip advisor and this is a second review. I've never reviewed anything in my life but feel this needs to be done. This should be a place we're other hostel accommodations take the lead from. When I arrived I was a broken homeless man broken physically mentally and emotionally my spirit was gone. When I was told walking through the door welcome to the family I never expected 3and a half months down the line that family was exactly what they promised and thats what I got. I got welcomed and treated woth dignity and respect and have been basically loved until I loved myself by staff in here. There will be a time I have to leave here and honestly I'm looking forward to it and saddened at the same time because there's no place like this anywhere. I'd like to thank Jimmy for seeing in me something I thought I'd lost and kept pushing me to get my fight back and I have achieved more than I ever thought in these months. I'd also like to give mauro the biggest mention for the support love kindness and all round help to get me on my feet again. There's no were in glasgow that compares and I think the locall council could take some direction from these people. Hearing the word hostel brings up notions in people's heads if gritty addicts bedrooms and the worst and vulnerable in society. This is the inly place that can take the most vulnerable and turn there lives around just by the care and human aspect of their interaction. Any fault when reported is fixed the next day. They can't do enough and not once have I ever felt beneath anyone I've been helped to hold my head up and be counted. Like I said I never review anything but this needed doing and I hope the staff see this as my words can't do justice to how I feel. The alba hostel is far the best thing to happen to anyone who has the luck to get in. If you want a life there there to help of your just not willing to help yourself then you will look back on your time here and wish you'd done more to be part of. Also a shout out yo the night staff every one of them has been amazing any time of night if their needed there there. Do friendly and caring you wouldn't believe. Thank you alba for everything I love you all
