Smack bang in the city centre. ##### Jason E. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Carol R. 26 Apr 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Glasgow Could have been cleaner. The hoover had not been emptied for a long time. Agents were wonderful and attended to our requests instantly. Very convenient. We were mostly happy ##### Carol R. Stayed 13 nights in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Penny T. 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Unsafe check in process You are required to get your entrance key several blocks away from the unit at a little store. 2 female seniors 73 and 70 had to walk with our luggage several blocks in the dark! It was AWFUL AND UNSAFE we also arrived to having to turn the water on when we needed it due to a recent leak. The place is heated with a radiator so we only had heat when the water was on. Although close to George Square which was nice the apt was adjacent to an open yard of restaurants which made it very most Truthfully I will never use VRBO again. I will stick with reliable hotels. ##### Penny T. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Pascal C. 16 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Overall, a nice flat in a great location, with a few niggles. Check-in process is a bit convoluted, and involves finding a finding a keysafe two blocks away. Flat itself is nice on first impressions, but there were several small things that let it down. Dining chairs are dangerously loose, shower is leaking, blinds won't open and there's only 1 teaspoon in the kitchen. Having said that, once all these small things get fixed, there won't be much to complain about. It's a good value short term let, it's clean, spacious and safe as it is. Bed is comfortable, and there's a lift up to the third floor. I'd stay there again, but I'd bring more teaspoons! ##### Pascal C. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tim W. 12 Jun 2022 Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Disappointed The apartment appeared run down. The couch was not as pictured. Instead there was a too small futon chair with throw pillows that should be washed or tossed. Bed was so small that my spouse fell off it in the night just by rolling over, and we are average size. The impression we had of this apartment was that whoever owned it moved out and left behind all their old stuff for use as a rental. If you have the money, stay elsewhere. If you don’t, stay in a hostel. ##### Tim W. Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness ##### Stephanie Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good for a short stay Very central, good location and fairly spacious apartment. A few niggling issues here and there but otherwise a nice place for a short stay. Could be more comfortable with a better sofa, and the blinds in the living space were in need of repair (as was the clothes drier rack). ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Kelvingrove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Kelvingrove-Hotel.h3918556.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury 2BD Penthouse, Private Lift & Swimming Pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Luxury-2BD-Penthouse.h48400854.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal West End Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Argyll-Western-Hotel.h3111783.Hotel-Information) > > [Number 10 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Number-10-Hotel.h2417705.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Glasgow SEC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Glasgow-SEC.h45176865.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Hotel Glasgow by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Glasgow.h15900.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Inn Glasgow West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Leonardo-Inn-Glasgow-West-End.h4021.Hotel-Information) > > [Crookston Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Crookston-Hotel.h22683270.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Glasgow.h6172581.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Youth Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Youth-Hostel.h1854069.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Glasgow.h10411849.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandyford Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Sandyford-Hotel.h9817990.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Glasgow SEC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Moxy-Glasgow-SEC.h70595396.Hotel-Information) > > [Ambassador Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Ambassador-Hotel.h1382237.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-House.h8777962.Hotel-Information) > > [Argyll Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Argyll-Guest-House.h8747716.Hotel-Information) > > [City Apartments Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-City-Apartments-Glasgow.h2528831.Hotel-Information) > > [Lorne Hotel Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Lorne-Hotel-Glasgow.h14654.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belhaven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Belhaven.h888471.Hotel-Information) > > [Argyll Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Argyll-Hotel.h198601.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Glasgow.h7728220.Hotel-Information) > > [Albion Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Albion-Hotel.h1381352.Hotel-Information) > > [Alamo Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Alamo-Guest-House.h15740276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Glasgow City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Glasgow-City-Centre.h800131.Hotel-Information) > > [Sherbrooke Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Sherbrooke-Castle-Hotel.h2876449.Hotel-Information) > > [Acorn Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Acorn-Hotel.h2423513.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Glasgow.h22384544.Hotel-Information) > > [Claremont House B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Claremont-House-BB.h22813635.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Glasgow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Devoncove-Hotel.h888912.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Grosvenor-Hotel.h74148248.Hotel-Information)
