One Bed Holiday Home in the Heart of Glasgow

One Bed Holiday Home in the Heart of Glasgow Overview

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from One Bed Holiday Home in the Heart of Glasgow when I first booked it – I mean, it’s a 3-star place and sometimes those can be hit or miss. But honestly, this little spot on Drygate really surprised me. The location is actually pretty perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Glasgow rather than just visiting it. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the Merchant City area, and I found myself wandering down to the Trongate almost every morning for coffee. The building itself has that classic Glasgow tenement feel – you know, those solid stone buildings that make you feel the city’s history when you walk up the stairs.

The flat is compact but thoughtfully set up, and I appreciated that someone clearly lives here regularly rather than it being some sterile rental property. There were actual books on the shelves, decent coffee in the kitchen, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses, so this matters). The neighborhood gets a bit lively on weekend nights – you’ll hear people heading home from the pubs around midnight – but it’s not obnoxious, just the sound of a city that’s actually alive. During the day, Drygate is pretty quiet, and I loved that I could walk to the Cathedral in about ten minutes or head down to the river when I needed some space.

What really sold me on the place was how easy it made everything else. The train station is close enough that I didn’t stress about catching trains to Edinburgh or up to the Highlands, but I was also within walking distance of all the galleries and pubs I actually wanted to visit. I mean, you’re practically neighbors with the Barras market, which happens on weekends and is absolutely worth experiencing if you like that sort of authentic Glasgow chaos. The 8.2 rating makes perfect sense to me – it’s not luxury, but it’s honest and comfortable, and the location does most of the heavy lifting. I’d definitely stay here again, especially since finding anywhere decent to stay in central Glasgow that doesn’t cost a fortune can be tricky during festival season.

Glasgow’s hotels showcase the perfect blend of Victorian elegance and modern Scottish hospitality, with many featuring spa services and authentic Highland cultural experiences.

• Exceptional – Alex from United Kingdom – August 29, 2024 (10/10)

  Booked this while my wife was going into Glasgow royal
  Great location with parking so totally hassle free

• Absolutely loved it – didn’t want to leave. I felt like a real Glaswegian! – Merrilyn from Australia – May 22, 2025 (10/10)

  Fabulous location, right next to the Cathedral district and a stroll away from an Aldi and George Square. Everything you need for a short or longer stay, including a washer. Lovely bright flat drenched with afternoon sunlight. Free parking outside the door, only 3 stairs to the flat entry. Thanks so much for the photos – very helpful for finding the flat and parking space.
  
  What could be improved: The enclosed balcony was great for drying the washing, but could do with a thorough clean. A description of how to lock the door is needed!

• Scandalous – David from United Kingdom – April 7, 2024 (3/10)

  Close to the city centre, warm and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: It's a spruced up council flat in a social housing block, so you're paying top tier money for a bottom tier place. The day before arrival I was informed that a £250 deposit was required or I'd lose the booking, and that the free parking is shared and first come first served.
  The shower didn't drain properly and there was hair and soap scum left from the previous resident, there was stale food left in the cupboards, we had half a toilet roll for a three day stay, the soap was not new, and the entrance hallway always smelled of weed.

• So disappointing and so expensive – Louise from United Kingdom – September 26, 2022 (2/10)

  It was clean
  
  What could be improved: A HUGE sum of money to pay for a very basic flat in social housing estate.
  Advertised with free parking but after booking we learnt the parking was limited. Street parking was for a max of 3 hours
  Sofa bed didn't come with a fitted sheet
  Hot water pressure supplied a mere trickle
  Neighborhood was impoverished and felt rough. We were unable to leave our girls to walk into town on her own.
  Overall the flat was not as described and £460 for two nights was extortionate

• Appartement à proximité de Queen Street Station – Jocelyn from France – August 22, 2025 (7/10)

  Appartement à proximité de la gare Queen Street Station (10 minutes à pied).
  
  What could be improved: Appartement un peu loin de la gare Glasgow Central.
  Petit problème d'isolation phonique.
  Nous étions 4 : 2 adultes et 2 enfants. Le clic clac pour enfant était beaucoup trop petit.
  Matelas peu confortables et ustensiles abîmés (poêles, casseroles).

• Superbe – Mickael from France – August 11, 2025 (10/10)

  La proximité du centre ville
  La grande propreté de l’appartement
  Le ptit balcon agréable
  Bonne connexion wifi

• Exceptional – Ryan from United Kingdom – November 12, 2023 (10/10)
