Apartment with river view 2 minutes from the hydro

Summary:
Modern, bright apartment with stunning River Clyde views from the balcony. Features two comfy double bedrooms, two stylish bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. Located beside the SSE Hydro and just across the Clyde Arc from BBC/STV. Only 15 mins’ walk to the City Centre, West End, and vibrant Finnieston. Ideal for attending events at the Hydro or exploring Glasgow’s top spots.

The Space:
A Rare apartment, with both the rooms along with the lounge having a beautiful sight of River Clyde. The property has 2 good-sized double bedrooms, the master bedroom is fitted with a 55 Samsung UHD Smart TV with Netflix and other apps and has an ensuite bathroom and the second bedroom has a full bathroom just across the hall. There is a fully equipped kitchen, for any keen chefs out there, that has a Nespresso coffee machine. The kitchen also opens out into a large, comfortable lounge that has a balcony providing stunning views of the river. The lounge boasts a 65 UHD Smart TV alongside a Marshall Blu tooth Wireless Audio System for an immersive home-cinema experience!

Right next to the SSE Hydro and across the Clyde Arc, or Squinty bridge to locals, from the BBC and STV offices. It's just a 15-minute walk to the City Centre and the West End, encompassing Byres Road as well as nearby Finnieston.

The perfect place to enjoy after a busy day exploring our wonderful city, with a pleasant meander along the river from the center... then sit back, and relax with a glass or two as you watch the sun set behind Glasgow’s historic Finnieston crane and beyond. Every piece of furniture in this apartment was purchased in January 2019, so there is a fresh feel to the place, especially when a breeze helps cool the place down in summer.

The apartment sits in a secure complex, accessible by residents only, and comes with secure entry and elevator access.

Guest Access:
Guests will have full access to the entire property throughout their stay, including all rooms and amenities. Check-in details, including access instructions and key collection, will be shared in advance via our electronic guidebook link to ensure a smooth arrival.

The Neighborhood:
The property is perfectly positioned on the peaceful Clyde Waterfront, offering a relaxed residential atmosphere with spectacular riverside views. Just a short walk away is vibrant Finnieston, known as one of Glasgow’s most exciting and stylish neighbourhoods. Here, you’ll find everything from independent cafes and bars to award-winning restaurants, creating a buzzing food and nightlife scene just minutes from your doorstep.

The flat is also well connected to Glasgow City Centre, placing top attractions, shopping, dining, and nightlife within easy reach. You’re only a stone’s throw from cultural landmarks like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow University, and the green oasis of Kelvingrove Park.

For entertainment lovers, the SEC, Hydro Arena, and Exhibition Centre are all within walking distance—ideal for catching concerts, conferences, or live events. Across the River Clyde, Springfield Quay offers more leisure options including a cinema, bowling, and popular chain restaurants.

If you're visiting for work, the location is extremely practical. Public transport options are nearby, and access to major road links like the M8 makes travel around the city seamless. Whether you're in Glasgow for business or leisure, this stylish riverside flat offers a calm, comfortable base with the best of the city close at hand.

Getting Around:
Located on Lancefield Quay, this stylish riverside property offers direct views of the River Clyde and is ideally positioned for exploring some of Glasgow’s top attractions. Just a 5-minute walk from the SEC and Hydro, it's perfect for event-goers. The vibrant Finnieston area, known for its bars, restaurants, and cafés, is only 10 minutes away on foot. A scenic 20-minute riverside walk takes you straight into the city centre, while Kelvingrove Park, Art Gallery and Museum are just 15 minutes away. For added convenience, there’s a well-stocked shop on the ground floor with all your daily essentials.

Getting around:

By Car:
Lancefield Quay is easily accessible by car and is just off the M8 motorway. If coming from Glasgow Airport (approx. 15 minutes), take the M8 eastbound, exit at Junction 19 for SECC/Clyde Auditorium. Follow signs for the SECC, then turn onto Finnieston Street and left onto Lancefield Quay. The property will be on your right. Secure parking is available at the address.

By Train:
The nearest train station is Exhibition Centre Station, just a 7-minute walk away. From the station, walk down Minerva Street towards Finnieston Street, turn right, then left onto Lancefield Quay.

Numerous bus routes serve the area along Argyle Street and Anderston Quay. Alight near the SEC or Finnieston Street and walk a few minutes to reach the property.

The nearest subway station is Cessnock or St Enoch (approx. 15–20 minutes walk). You may also take a connecting bus or taxi from the station.

Disliked: Cleanliness

This is a flop house, not a care given about this property.

Mold in both bathrooms, 3 flat pillows per bed, no light bulbs in the lights, no working bathroom extractors, no privacy because there are blind slats missing in every room, broken fan, broken furniture stored in the closets, very dirty laundry room, very loud due to first floor location, very dirty kitchen drawer beneath the oven, missing fire alarm, no welcome package.

Not customer friendly

Had to find location without help of Vrbo. Property managers responses were not overly helpful. Had to walk several blocks to find keys at lock box at busy intersection then walk back to apartment location to enter. Manager expected Me to repeat procedure to return key to remote location.

Needs some TLC

Great location with good nearby parking. The flat itself is in need of some TLC. Cupboards with handles missing, broken bathroom light switch and neither bathroom extractor fans working. If planning to cook very limited utensils and short on cups and glasses. Disappointed that pots and pans had been left dirty with old food in them and the flat itself needed a thorough clean (old opened bag of nuts in bedside draw and very dirty cutlery tray). We couldn’t use the chair in the lounge due to it being broken when we arrived. We cleaned the floor and windows ourselves on arrival as had been left very sticky. This could be a lovely flat to stay in but really needs some care and attention to detail!
