Modern Riverfront Apt. 10 mins from Hydro/SECC Overview
I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name Modern Riverfront Apt. 10 mins from Hydro/SECC, I thought it was going to be one of those generic apartment rentals that sounds better online than in person. But you know what? I was actually pleasantly surprised by this place, especially considering its 3-star rating and solid 7.9 guest score.
The location is really the star here – being just ten minutes from both the P&J Live (that’s the Hydro for those not familiar) and the SECC means you’re perfectly positioned for events without paying city center hotel prices. I mean, after a concert at the Hydro, you can literally walk back instead of fighting for taxis with thousands of other people. The riverfront setting gives it this nice peaceful vibe too, which is sort of unexpected when you’re still so close to all the action. You’ll hear the occasional sound of traffic from the nearby roads, but honestly, it’s more of a gentle hum than anything disruptive – I actually found it kind of soothing at night.
What struck me most was how they’ve managed to balance that “modern apartment” feel with actual hotel-like amenities. The space feels lived-in rather than sterile (in a good way), and you get the sense that someone actually thought about what travelers need rather than just throwing together the cheapest furniture possible. The kitchen setup is particularly handy if you’re staying for more than a night or two – there’s something nice about being able to make your own coffee in the morning instead of hunting down the nearest café. The riverfront views from certain rooms are genuinely lovely, especially if you catch the sunset reflecting off the water. I spent more time than I’d care to admit just watching boats drift by while having my morning tea. Parking was straightforward too, which anyone who’s tried to navigate event parking around the SECC will appreciate – you’re close enough to walk but far enough out that you don’t get caught in the pre-show traffic chaos. The check-in process felt more like arriving at a friend’s place than a formal hotel, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I found it refreshingly relaxed. Sure, it’s not going to wow you with luxury touches or concierge services, but for the price point and that location advantage, it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense.

Anjana from United Arab Emirates (9/10)
The location was convenient for traveling to the city. From the pictures, I was under the impression that we would have a quay view; however, that was not the case. The rooms were clean and spacious
Alison from United Kingdom (8/10)
The apartment was in great location for Hydro. It was clean, fresh smelling and had everything we needed for our two night stay. Dedicated car parking space was huge help. Also convenience store right next door was much appreciated.

The apartment was spacious and close to the OVO Hydro. The beds were quite comfortable. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Wifi was good. There were plenty of utensils in the kitchen. There was a shop at the bottom of the complex.
