Turned up just after 2 pm. The parking is on the street and cost me £2.00 for 1.5 hours. I got to the door and was greeted by one of the staff, who was very friendly and helpful. There are two flights. On the bottom floor is the information section and on the second floor is the house. I was taken aback by how remarkable it was. Taking a step back in time is an understatement. It was so surreal and mind blown. The ladies who presented it well with their knowledge and passion for what they do. I recommend you check it out. You will not be disappointed.

A National Trust for Scotland site, so if you're English National Trust members, you also get in for free. Really interesting introduction exhibition downstairs, before going upstairs to see the rooms of the house. Great ambience, and smell due to the gas lighting. You may think you won't spend long here due to only having 4 small rooms to visit, but there's so much detail in those room and the volunteers who work there are so adorably chatty, sharing their stories of life living in or visiting a Tenement House, that you'll end up spending well over an hour here. Great place to visit if you're wanting to learn about local history and culture.

Visited this historic place and found it quite fascinating. They have kept in tack living conditions over 60 years ago going back to the late 19th century. Very well done with lots of information about this period and how people lived and managed their daily activities. The attendants were well informed and very helpful as we had many questions. History buffs will find this place interesting and should not pass it up.

Never visited The Tenement House despite being a Glaswegian. Finally came here today and glad I did. The Tenement House is a fantastically well preserved relics of a bygone era. The ground floor had two exhibitions. One is permanent with general exhibits partly about Glasgow and partly about one of the previous occupants of the tenement. The other is a changing exhibit, also about Glasgow, I think photographs of Glasgow from the 1960s or thereabouts. Upstairs is the main tenement house exhibit of the preserved flat, consisting of four rooms. There's lots here to see such as furnishings and equipment from mid 20th century to remind us just how lucky we are with all our modern conveniences. A special mention to all the volunteers who were on hand to answer questions about the museum, the rooms and what life was like in the house. Kudos to all the staff. I've seen many reviews comparing this to the Tenement in New York, which I've also visited. Each museum should be judged on its own merit and this museum is fantastic.

Here affords you a great chance to immerse in a Victorian middle-class family’s apartment vividly. The history in Glasgow becomes touchable. The voluntary docent was very friendly and helpful when we visited on a sunny afternoon. However, It's a very pocket-sized attraction, and if you're not a history buff, you might think it's not worth paying for it.

Fantastic, really enjoyed looking round this tenement house and stepping back in time to the early 20th century. Very interesting learning about what life was like in Glasgow back then, and about the people that lived there. There's not many rooms but they are so many little details and objects to take in, even her last delivery of coal still sitting there unused. The staff are really friendly and very knowledgeable and gave even more history and happy to answer questions. I would highly recommend stopping in as it only takes about an hour, and for £8.50 which I feel is really good value to help look after this fantastic museum.

This is a wonderful glimpse into life in Glasgow in the early 20th century/late 19th. The different rooms show how a middle class family lived, and how different it was to today. The guides are wonderful and happy to answer questions and give you little insights. The cost is not too high to get in, and just make sure not to touch anything.

Fascinating insight into the life of someone who lived in Glasgow back then. Such an interesting visit if you love local history. Volunteers and staff were so so lovely and knowledgeable, I cannot rate them high enough.

The Tenement House was truly fascinating. As someone whose grandmother grew up in a Glasgow tenement, I found it really helped me put a scene to several stories I heard in my childhood. It's not very often you're truly able to step back in time when you cross a threshold but that really is how you feel here. The letters on display downstairs were the most interesting as they really give you an insight into the life of the person whose house you're visiting.

A brilliant afternoon was spent at the Tenement House. The guides are knowledgeable, very friendly and supremely engaging. The flat is fascinating. What a find!

There is limited street parking but we parked at the Q carpark and it was a 10 minute walk. The tenement house was a real suprise. The ground floor has the reception and the girl on the desk was very cheerful. The toilets are at the reception and across the hall way at the self service cafe. The first floor is where Miss Toward flat is. Before you go in you get to ring the bell and the staff great you. The first thing you will notice is how dark it is as they still use gas lights. The rooms haven't been touched and it is like stepping back in time. When you come out it can take minute or two to adjust your eyes to the light. The room across has letter that she wrote and it gives you a small glimpse of her life. The staff are very friendly and will answer any questions you have about Miss Toward and her property.

Was a nice walk from the city centre. Reviews made it seem like a great spot. Was a bit underwhelmed by the museum. Entrance fee was high for what it is. Staff/volunteers were friendly enough but did not bother with me at all. I was looking forward to visiting because the reviews said the hosts were engaging. I guess I went on the wrong day. I thought the living space by today’s standards was quite generous. Bigger than my living space at home. If your time in Glasgow is short, maybe skip this one. Wandering the city was more interesting. Beautiful city!

Glasgow gets a lot of bad press, not least because they bulldozed a motorway right through the city. This place is a time capsule of what the city lost. Whilst most tenements that survived were modernised, this one survived untouched. When you think of National Trust [for Scotland] houses you probably think of stately homes and castles. I actually think I prefer this. The volunteers that staff the place were very knowledgeable and could talk at length about any item. To get the most out of your visit ask them questions. You'll learn lots.

We visited on a Saturday and bought tickets at the door. Not too busy, given it was half term and a really nice experience. The information boards explain the history of Glasgow really nicely. Staff were passionate and knowledgeable and answered most of our questions.

Interesting National Trust of Scotland Tenement House with many original features. There are helpful guides in the flat who answer your questions. Nice seating area in front rooms, water , hot drinks and snacks are available too. Young Scots card holders get in for a £1.

Very interesting to see a Tenement house preserved how it would have looked in the early 1900s. The same tenant had lived there for over 60 years. Friendly staff to explain the history.

A definite don't miss! This is just superb, from the minute you enter the doorway the house draws you in. Entrance fee is very reasonable. There's plenty to reminisce, view, and learn about. The volunteer guides are wonderful - always willing to explain and chat about the house and its contents. I can't stress enough just what a delight this museum is. Thank goodness that someone had the foresight to preserve it. If you visit only one museum in Glasgow, make it this one.

Great way to spend an afternoon. A step back in time with lots of information about Miss Toward who lived in the tenement flat. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing place of social history, of working class people. Brilliantly exhibited through the story of Agnes, who lives in the house for many years. Loved it.

I loved this place and the staff and volunteer Robert was very friendly and helpful. It's not big but it's full of interesting things and lots of charm and the rooms have gas lighting which is a nice touch.

The closest you'll get to a time machine until doc goes mainstream with his Deloreon. It was great they haven't altered a thing only maintained it. There are things in this house from the 1700s it's a true gem in the city. My son aged 7 loved his visit and his grandad was reliving memories with every blink of his eyelids. The staff were fantastic so engaging and passionate about the experience to be had there. They also asked grandad about his own lived experience as his father was a cool man who delivered can there in the 50s. It's a really good place there are no barriers around things you are just asked to touch nothing so it can be kept pristine for as long as possible. There are so many things to explore and imagining how you would live in work there was a joy. Even though this is only a small 2 storey museum I will be back again to visit.

Fantastic bit of Glasgow history. Truly remarkable collection for locals and tourists to enjoy. The staff knowledge is excellent. I had a lovely time chatting with the volunteer Marjorie who clearly had a lot of passion for this exhibition and enhanced the whole experience for me. I will be back to visit again for sure.

Glad to have seen this at last, an apartment in an Edwardian time warp with an interesting history of one lady who lived there. So many of her personal letters to read! How times have changed re courtship! Highly recommend a visit!

A good incite into the working class tenement house, circa 1900 -1960. From the gas lamp to the soap all has been preserved. Not very big and with limited parking this is a good way to spend an hour of free time

Very well done. Lovely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would recommend a visit

Lovely staff, great downstairs and really interesting upstairs. Gift shop was good too!

Could only spend twenty minutes here so may not be a fair review. A more refined tenement than others I've seen. Staff seemed able to answer any questions. Good displays1880's to 1960s.

Really liked it but this tenement flat is more middle class than working class. Still a treasure though.

Fascinating insight into life in a Glasgow tenement in the 1900's. Definitely worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Apartment in very good condition. Very friendly and knowledgeable National Trust employees. It's worth it!! (Original) Wohnung sehr gut erhalten. Sehr freundliche und fachkundige National Trust Mitarbeiter. Lohnt sich!!

Wonderful example of Glasgow life through the 20th century. This is an precious relic of Scottish history and Glaswegians are so lucky to have it preserved for future generation. I much appreciated the passion of its curators/guides.

It is a reminder of what living use tp be like within our lifetime. Flat was very interesting and brought back memories of childhood.

Beautiful view into early 20th century life, kind guides, tons of information and so many objects from days gone past.

Full of atmosphere. Very much reflects the former owner. Compelling

Fascinating insight into how people lived in Glasgow in the early years of the twentieth century.

Object lesson to a connected city life

This was so cool. You really get a feel for how Agnes (the woman who lived in this house) lived, who she was, and life in the city in her era; it’s remarkable. Sensitive commentary on class etc. built into this. Perhaps what makes it though is the knowledgeable and warm guides. Super friendly but also allow you to have a look around on your own. If you don’t ask them questions you’ll miss out - not because the house isn’t enough on its own but just because they know their stuff and are a pleasure to chat with. You could easily spend a couple of hours here. It’s really easy to get to on foot. Recommend spending a morning here if you’re going to Glasgow and don’t know what to do first

Never been here,but I'm sure its lovely

Guides so friendly and full of information. Enjoyed this blast from the past

Loved this little tour, very interesting story full of history, would definitely recommend you go and visit.

A gem. Unique: the smell and heat of gas lights. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff all around. Recommended.

It's a lot of money for a very short experience. It's basically one tenement apartment preserved with its original furniture and items. I found it really interesting but it only took about 10 minutes to look around. There's an exhibit in the other room but there isn't much to see, then they have a gift shop and a cafe... I felt they could have added more to the experience or just charged less.

This is a fascinating depiction of tenement life and shows a side of tenement living of which I was unaware. This is most definitely not slum living. The lady who lived there would probably now be described as a hoarder, but the items she kept are now historically relevant. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and go out of there way to find out the answer to a question. The only word of warning, don't access the building from the very steep road. It is exhausting to climb up the hill, only to find you have to go down the other side to the bottom. There is an easier access on level ground.

Amazing place. Has to be seen to be believed. The guides are excellent too.

Fascinating insight into tenement life in the early 20th century. Having lived in tenement flats in recent years I found it so interesting to see how they once were lived in. Informative exhibition on the ground floor. The flat itself really is like stepping back in time. The volunteers were so friendly and helpful. It wasn’t too busy when we were there which meant we had each room to ourselves and plenty of time to view things properly. We also got parked easily just down the road. Lunch at Singl-end (just round the corner) beforehand made for a great wee day out!

Fantastic to look back however used to live, a must see.

A fascinating building. Untouched and everything in its place as was. I really like that it still uses gas lighting, you can smell it as soon as you enter the building. I also love the way other properties in the stair are still privately owned and the Tenement House just exists in the block as it would have done when occupied. It is not as if the whole block has been purchased and mothballed. The National Trust have however purchased and converted one of the lower flats into an information / education area for school trips and a gift shop but the rest of the stair properties are just private residencies.

This home is a time capsule purchased by the national trust. It is a view back in time to a simpler time but a time when there was so much uncertainty with war and changes to everyday life. Get to it from Sauciehall Street hop on hop off bus. Staff are very very clued up about the building and an excellent resource. Why read about recent history when you can go see it.

Amazing step back in time. Very knowledgeable volunteers. We'll worth a visit.

A great musuem. Incredibly helpful friendly and knowledgeable staff brought the place to life. Quite a lot of 'I remember this as a kid' Very worthwhile hour Went with our local hosts who hadn't been before but said they will definitely be back

Brilliant museum - on the face of it, it's a fairly small exhibition, but in reality it captures a microcosm of Glasgow, frozen in time. The icing on the cake was the interaction with fantastically knowledgeable and engaging staff. A very immersive experience and one of whole heartedly recommend.

A great place to see how people lived back then, but as it's quite small you should expect to wait while other visitors explore the rooms

What a rare gem of find, small place but so fascinating and friendly staff on hand to answer questions, really easy to park out side

Stepping across the threshold of this early 20th century tenement house is like walking into a time portal. An intricately-detailed piece of social history and a hidden gem in the centre of Glasgow.

Very unique, as everything is original and belongs to the house having been left to the trust by it's owner

Very interesting place and kids 4 and 9 enjoyed the quizzes well worth a visit

Wee hidden gem of a museum in the city. Very interesting

A quite astonishing visitor experience. From gas lamps to straw mattresses, authentic and unique.

Great wee hoose brought back some nice memories..the staff were very polite & knowledgeable.

Well worth the visit. Friendly and informative staff guides

Evocative of bygone times, with informed and engaging staff

What a gem of a place if your interested in history this is the place to go looks normal from outside but once your inside you step back in time. I bet there are things in this tenement that remind you of your childhood . Well worth a visit you won’t be disappointed

Fascinating. Amazing how so much of the original fixtures and fittings are there. Volunteers were also so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly

Amazing place

Fascinating history plus memories of my Great Uncle David's tenament home

Well presented and preserved house.

This is a middle class tenement - I was expecting a poorer one (one room - 8 people type thing) - they do show plans for different types of tenements which was really interesting. The bed cupboard was insightful.

Amazing step back in History

A unique time machine. Emotional. Thought-provoking

Amazing place.... reminds me of great grans house

Brilliant and enlightening.

An excellent site, well curated and enthusiastically guided. Well worth a visit.

Set in the heart of Glasgow in Garnethill memories of an old tenement flat a highlight for tourists to the City

Interesting view into the past

Excellent experience of the past living

Great visual of old Glasgow. Free.

Learning about history and traditions was nice. Feels very original and untouched. Essential for any tenement fan. Original gas lightning meant it was dark in winter but brought a realistic feel to it. Wish there was a bit more to see in the dwellings. The scale models on entry which shows the refurbishment over the years were super educational.

Fascinating little house-museum, kept in the style of the original inhabitant and there are models and pictures and texts all about Glasgow tenements all around the place. It gets a bit busy at times and it's hard to view things with so many people there but Google maps are helpful with little tags in real time like 'busy as it gets' or 'quieter than usual' and you can use those to help schedule your sightseeing over the day, not forgetting to check the weather forecast of course! - but it's well worth a visit.

Great wee place to go and spend an hour, staff really friendly and a good history lesson. Would definitely recommend

(Translated by Google) The entrance fee is too expensive to be such a small museum. (Original) Troppo caro il biglietto d ingresso per essere un museo così piccolo.

Such a great insight into understanding how life was in a Tenement House. With many of the original fixtures in place and details on the history and development of Glasgow this is well worth a visit. Very helpful and knowledgeable volunteers and staff on hand to answer questions, thank you.
