Traditional 1-Bed Flat in Southside (Hampden/Shawlands)

Traditional 1-Bed Flat in Southside (Hampden/Shawlands) Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Traditional 1-Bed Flat in Southside (Hampden/Shawlands), I wasn’t sure what to expect. The title’s a bit of a mouthful, isn’t it? But after spending a few nights there, I get why they went with such a descriptive name. This place actually delivers on that “traditional” promise in ways that surprised me.

The flat sits right in that sweet spot between Hampden and Shawlands, and honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better location if you want to experience Glasgow like locals do. I mean, you’re literally a ten-minute walk from Hampden Park (perfect if there’s a Scotland match on), but you’re also close enough to Shawlands that you can pop over to Syngenta for groceries or grab a proper coffee at Singl-end. The area has this lived-in feeling that I really appreciate – it’s not touristy at all, which means you’ll hear actual Glaswegian conversations at the bus stops and see kids playing football in the streets. The 3-star rating feels about right; it’s comfortable without being fancy, though that 7.4 guest rating tells you something important – people leave satisfied, even if they weren’t blown away.

What struck me most was how the flat manages to feel genuinely homey without trying too hard. The furnishings are proper traditional – think sturdy wooden furniture that’s seen some years but still solid, tartan touches that don’t feel forced, and a kitchen that’s actually equipped for cooking (not just reheating takeaway). The bedroom’s quiet, which surprised me given you’re in a fairly busy part of the Southside. I slept better there than I expected, though you will hear the occasional late-night reveler wandering home from the pubs – comes with the territory in Glasgow, really. The flat’s got character in those little details that matter: thick walls that keep the heat in during those brutal Scottish winters, proper-sized windows that let in whatever daylight Glasgow decides to offer, and radiators that actually work. You know what I loved? The shower had decent pressure – honestly, you’d be amazed how many places get that wrong. Parking can be a bit of a dance on the surrounding streets, but it’s free, and if you’re willing to walk an extra five minutes, you’ll find a spot. The whole experience feels refreshingly authentic – like staying in a friend’s spare room rather than a sterile rental property.

• Daniel from United Kingdom (8/10)

  This is such a great find. The location is excellent. It is walking distance to Hampden Park. Mount Florida train-station is nearby. The apartment has all the facilities that you would expect and is in great order. My son and I travelled from Ireland for a match at Hampden and next time we are going there we will be booking this gem!

• Maria from United Kingdom (8/10)

  We stayed for two nights and we had everything we needed. The property is located in the quiet residential area. The house is old and typical for Glasgow, so staying there was a good chance to live like a local for a couple of days. Easy to drive to the city centre. Communication with the host was excellent!
