Glasgow Apartment Near The Hydro

Summary

This Glasgow apartment near the Hydro is ideal for the SECC (the SEC) and Hydro.

Modern and bright apartment with spectacular views over the River Clyde and Clyde Arc from our patio/balcony. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, an open plan, a fully equipped kitchen, as well as a living room with Sky TV, Netflix, etc. The flat is just less than five minutes from the SECC and Hydro, and is a short walk to the various bars and restaurants of Finnieston, and about a Fifteen-minute walk – or five minutes in a taxi – to the City Centre and its myriad attractions.

*Please Note* WE DO NOT ACCEPT BOOKINGS FOR PARTIES. MY HOME IS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND NOT SUITABLE FOR PARTIES. WE HAD AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT LAST YEAR WHEN GUESTS HAD A PARTY. I WAS CALLED TO ATTEND MY HOUSE DUE TO NOISE FROM THE POLICE AND HAD THEM REMOVED, OVER OCCUPANCY, AND VERY UNHAPPY NEIGHBOURS. PLEASE BE ADVISED SHOULD WE RECEIVE A COMPLAINT FROM NEIGHBOURS WITH EVIDENCE OF EXCESSIVE NOISE/OVER-OCCUPANCY/PARTYING, WE WILL PROCESS A FINE OF £50 MINIMUM AND UPWARDS OF £100 IF WE FIND ANY DAMAGE OR EXCESSIVE MESS WITHIN THE FLAT. THIS IS NOT A PARTY FLAT SO WE ASK YOU TO BE RESPECTFUL WHEN STAYING HERE.

Space

A Rare apartment, with both the rooms along with the lounge having a beautiful sight of River Clyde. The property has 2 good-sized double bedrooms, the master bedroom is fitted with “a 55” Samsung UHD Smart TV with Netflix and other apps and has an ensuite bathroom and the second bedroom has a full bathroom just across the hall. There is a fully equipped kitchen (for any keen chefs out there) that has a Nespresso coffee machine. The kitchen also opens out into a large, comfortable lounge that has a balcony providing stunning views of the river. The lounge boasts a 65” UHD Smart TV alongside a Marshall Blu tooth Wireless Audio System for an immersive home-cinema experience!

Right next to the SSE Hydro and across the Clyde Arc (or ‘Squinty bridge’ to locals!) from the BBC and STV offices. It’s just a 15-minute walk to the City Centre and the West End, encompassing Byres Road as well as nearby Finnieston.

The perfect place to enjoy after a busy day exploring our wonderful city, with a pleasant meander along the river from the centre…then sit back, and relax with a glass or two as you watch the sun set behind Glasgow’s historic Finnieston crane and beyond. Every piece of furniture in this apartment was purchased in January 2019, so there is a fresh feel to the place, especially when a breeze helps cool the place down in summer.

The apartment sits in a secure complex, accessible by residents only, and comes with secure entry and elevator access.

Transit

There is a huge carpark just opposite the apartment complex on Elliot Street where you can park for £2.50 a day or £10 a week

There is a bus stop just outside that provides a very regular service to the city centre, and a train station at the nearby Exhibition Centre, with trains going out to Helensburgh and Luss, and also into the City Centre itself where there further transport links to other parts of Glasgow, as well as Edinburgh. The airport is approx 20 minutes away and it would cost around £20 in a taxi.

Notes

Please be advised when selecting 1 or 2 guests we assume you will be using one bedroom. If you wish the second bedroom to be made up, it’s not a problem, we just ask you select 3 guests.

The flat also has an inflatable bed if you plan to have extra guests staying.

We can arrange rental of a high chair and a travel cot if needed during your stay.

We can permit guests to bring pets, though be aware we need to be notified in advance, and their may be an added cleaning charge for this.

Please note, check in and check out is not available on the 25th of December and the 1st of January.

Interaction with guests

We like to give our guests space to enjoy their time in Glasgow but we are available should there be any issues or if you have any questions.

Neighborhood

The property is located at the Clyde Waterfront which is mainly residential. However a short stroll takes you into Finnieston which is a mixture of cool bars and trendy restaurants. There is something for everyone and it is one of the reasons it has quickly become the place to be in Glasgow. The flat is also a short-distance from Glasgow City Centre, where alongside the main shopping areas are a range of historical attractions as well as a vibrant nightlife and restaurant scene.

The flat is also just a short hop and a skip from the SECC and the Hydro that hosts a range of concerts and events all year round. Just over the river Clyde, facing the flat, is Springfield Quay, which boasts a cinema, bowling alley and a range of restaurants. Further down the River Clyde, and roughly twenty minutes away on foot, is the award-winning Riverside Museum which details Glasgow’s socio-cultural and transport history!

The flat is the perfect launch pad for those visiting the city for work, with all areas of the city easily accessible by car, or by nearby public transport; is also a great place for tourists to rest their head, and is only a short distance from Glasgow University and Kelvingrove Park and Museum.
