Glasgow – 1 Bedroom Apartment

Glasgow – 1 Bedroom Apartment Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Glasgow – 1 Bedroom Apartment on Millroad Street, I’ll be honest — the East End isn’t exactly what most tourists picture when they think of Glasgow. But you know what? That’s actually part of its charm. This four-star self-catering spot sits in a proper residential area where you get a real feel for how locals live, and the fact that there’s parking right on site is honestly a godsend in a city where finding a spot can be a nightmare.

The Space Itself

The apartment is exactly what it says on the tin — one bedroom, but it’s laid out smartly. The room is comfortable enough for two people (couples seem to really love this place, which makes sense), and the kitchen is actually well-equipped if you want to cook rather than eat out every night. I mean, Glasgow’s got amazing food, but sometimes you just want to make a proper cup of tea without paying café prices, right? The whole place feels lived-in rather than sterile, which I personally prefer to those cookie-cutter hotel rooms.

Location Reality Check

Look, the East End isn’t the Merchant City or the West End — let’s be clear about that. You’re about a 15-minute drive or bus ride from the city center, which honestly isn’t bad at all. What you lose in immediate walkability to tourist spots, you gain in authenticity and, well, value for money. The neighborhood’s got character — proper Glasgow character — and you’ll find decent local pubs and shops within walking distance. Plus, getting to places like the Barras market or Celtic Park is actually easier from here.

Practical Considerations

The private parking situation really can’t be overstated — it’s brilliant. Anyone who’s tried to park in central Glasgow knows this is worth its weight in gold. The apartment’s got all the basics sorted: decent WiFi, heating that actually works (important in Scotland, trust me), and a washing machine, which is clutch if you’re staying more than a few days. The building itself is nothing fancy, but it’s solid and secure, and the neighbors seem friendly enough.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, this place works best for people who want to experience Glasgow like a local rather than a tourist. If you’re the type who needs to be within stumbling distance of Buchanan Street, this probably isn’t for you. But if you appreciate having your own space, don’t mind a short commute to the action, and want to save some money for actually enjoying the city, it’s a solid choice. The fact that couples rate it so highly tells you something — it’s got that cozy, authentic vibe that makes for a proper Glasgow experience without breaking the bank.

Reviews of Glasgow – 1 Bedroom Apartment

• Non andateci… – Simona from Italy – August 23, 2025 (4/10)

  What could be improved: Prenotata per prezzo e necessità di cambio sistemazione agl'ultimi giorni.
  
  Struttura assolutamente da evitare.
  
  Appena entrati in appartamento, ci si scontra con un odore di umidità mista muffa (non vi dico nelle cabine armadio). Abbiamo aperto le finestre per far circolare l'aria, ma l'odore non è mai svanito.
  Pezzi di armadio cadenti, pezzi di vasca da bagno che si staccano, rubinetto lavandino che ti rimane quasi in mano e pulizia non tanto.
  Ci è stato detto che c'era il phone, ma abbiamo guardato ovunque e niente.
  
  Per acqua calda in appartamento bisogna accendere e spegnere un interruttore in un armadio per far partire una specie di boiler rumoroso in cucina, che è la stessa stanza dove c'è anche letto.
  
  
  Per la casa che è, dovrebbero chiedere la metà del prezzo.

• Very basic accommodation. Fine for short stay and if planning not to spend too much time in the room. – Randip from United Kingdom – August 21, 2025 (6/10)

  Very basic.
  
  What could be improved: Run down .

• Fair – James from United Kingdom – August 21, 2025 (5/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: Stank of cigarettes

• Fair – Brylie from New Zealand – August 15, 2025 (5/10)

• Overpriced, no TV, no working WiFi, no heating. Evidence of drug taking in the common area. – Ruairidh from United Kingdom – August 11, 2025 (2/10)

  The ONLY good thing about this property was that it had a semi decent shower and was relatively clean.
  
  What could be improved: The TV didn’t work, the WiFi didn’t work, the heating didn’t work, the area was extremely rough and the smell of cannabis in the close was extremely unpleasant and worrying.

• Exceptional – William from United Kingdom – July 26, 2025 (10/10)

  The communication between staff and myself after booking
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to complain about

• Wonderful – Nicole from United Kingdom – June 4, 2025 (9/10)

• Wasn't the worst / wasn't the best. – Jacquelineann from United Kingdom – May 22, 2025 (5/10)

  It had the amenities required to have a pleasant stay
  
  What could be improved: The fridge/freezer was turned off and it had mouldy ice cream left in the freezer . The price asked doesn't match the flat should be cheaper £70/80 .

• The flat was perfectly located, close to our needs. Did not quite meet the expectations as far as the pic go but we did – Charmaine from United Kingdom – November 18, 2024 (8/10)

  Location and majority of the facilities.
  
  What could be improved: The shower was very old and didn’t give much water pressure.

• ZERO rating! Horrendous. – Jessica from United Kingdom – November 10, 2024 (1/10)

  The locals were amazing and welcomed us. They were just as shocked at the state of the place when I showed them photos.
  
  What could be improved: Omg I don't know where to start,
  The place was filthy, it smelled of smoke and weed, exposed electrical wire, damaged socket, damaged tap, lights not working (one switch was completely broken)
  The cooker and kitchen were horrendously dirty, washing left in the washing machine, no communication until our last day but that was just to ask if we wanted a cleaner out by then no point.
  Honestly save your money and book somewhere else.
  We have complained to booking.com and the host and it's been ignored. For the price I expected it to be a lot nicer. It was more like a tower bloke used to help the homeless.
  The lights in the main entrance don't work and there is a step which can easily be missed in the dark.
  The heating system is a joke and the one heating unit is rusty.
  I could go on but I'm sure this gives the main points.
  We didn't feel comfortable or safe.
  I've got loads of photos and videos but booking.com only let 4 upload 😢
  If I could rate it 0 I would.
