Serenity Space Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Serenity Space? I walked past it twice on Grovepark Street before realizing this unassuming flat entrance was actually my hotel. There’s something beautifully understated about the whole setup – it’s tucked into this residential stretch in Glasgow‘s West End, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work so well. I mean, you’re staying in what feels like a proper Glasgow flat, but with all the thoughtful touches you’d want from a boutique place.

The location is just brilliant, actually. Grovepark Street might not ring bells for first-time visitors, but locals know you’re perfectly positioned here. You’ve got Byres Road with all its buzz just a few minutes’ walk away – I found myself popping down there for coffee most mornings at Singl-end (their flat white is genuinely excellent). The whole Hillhead area feels lived-in rather than touristy, which I loved. I could walk to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in about fifteen minutes, or catch the subway at Hillhead station when I wanted to head into the city center. Plus – and this matters more than you’d think – parking around here isn’t the nightmare it is closer to the university.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve nailed that balance between feeling like you’re staying in someone’s beautifully curated home while still getting proper hotel-level comfort. The space itself has this calm, minimalist vibe that actually lives up to the “serenity” name without being cold or sterile. I appreciated the little details – good lighting for reading, a kitchen area that’s actually functional if you want to grab groceries from the Tesco Express down the street, and honestly, the bed was spot-on comfortable. The building’s quiet too, which surprised me given we’re still in a pretty central part of the city. I think being on a residential street rather than a main thoroughfare makes all the difference. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that hovering-around-reception awkwardness you sometimes get at smaller places. They clearly know what they’re doing, even without official star ratings to worry about. If you’re the type who likes discovering places that feel more like insider secrets than obvious tourist picks, this is definitely worth considering.

Glasgow hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in this UNESCO City of Music, known for its vibrant nightlife, industrial heritage, and world-class music venues.

Reviews of Serenity Space

  • Very accommodating host, small room but comfortable. – Corina from United Kingdom – August 15, 2025 (8/10)

    Location was perfect, close to bus and underground stops

    What could be improved: I thought it was a flat just for me but the host also lived there. This wasn’t a problem but I think it should be stated in the booking information.

  • Nie wieder – Vera from Germany – August 11, 2025 (2/10)

    Lage: 10 Min zu Fuß zur Bushaltestelle in die City
    Lidl sehr nah
    Wasserkocher erhalten.war ab etwas schmutzig
    Tasse und Glas erhalten
    Mülleimer im Zi.mer. keine Leerung zwischendurch
    Handtücher ok
    WLAN gut

    What could be improved: Bei Ankunft konnte die Türe mit dem Schlüssel nicht geöffnet werden. Nach Warten und Anruf wurde von Innen geöffnet von einem erstaunten Mann.Er hatte die Buchung vergessen. Nach 30 Min Warten war das Zimmer bereit
    Der Raum befindet sich in der bewohnten Wohnung Ca 3x3m gross. Es war oberflächlich sauber. Fenster ließ sich nicht richtig schließen.
    Das Bad wurde von dem Bewohner und seinem Besuch mitbenutzt. Es gab keine bereitgestellten Pflegeprodukte nur was der Bewohner selber braucht Seife im Bad vergessen war dann verschwunden.
    Die Küche konnte nur durch das Wohnzimmer des Bewohners erreicht werden also sehr unangenehm.
    Am ersten Abend hat er in der Küche bis nach 24 Uhr rumort. An den beiden weiteren Abenden hatten Besuch mit Kochen Musikhören Türen zu schlagen. Also eine extrem hellhörig Unterkunft.
    Das Haus machte keinen sicheren Eindruck.
    Die Fotos bei Booking und die dazu gehörende Beschreibung vermitteln einen anderen Eindruck. Es war klar dass es eine Privatvermietung ist. Aber aus den Erklärungen ließ sich vermuten dass es eine separate I rerkunft mit Bad und Küche ist und nicht ein Zimmer in der sehr hellhörigen bewohnten Wohnung.
    Keine Weiterempfehlung. Schnelles Geld verdienen.
