College Street Studio is an open-plan studio apartment at 29 College Street, Glasgow (G1 1QH), in the heart of Merchant City. King-size bed, ensuite shower room, fully-equipped kitchen, and a balcony with city-centre views. Five minutes’ walk to Glasgow Queen Street station — direct trains to Edinburgh in 50 minutes, Falkirk in 25, the Highlands beyond. Walking distance to Buchanan Street, George Square, and the Gallery of Modern Art. Self check-in. Pets welcome (mindful pet owners).

College Street sits in Merchant City, the historic heart of Glasgow city centre. The studio is built around a single principle: everything you need for a city stay, packed into a smartly-designed open-plan apartment with a king bed, an ensuite, a working kitchen, and a balcony. Right size for a couple, a solo work-stay professional, or anyone who wants to base in Glasgow without paying for space they won’t use.

The location is the differentiator. Buchanan Street — the city’s main shopping spine and one of Europe’s most-visited high streets — is a five-minute walk. The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and Royal Exchange Square sit two minutes from the door. George Square is six minutes’ walk; Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis fifteen. Glasgow Queen Street station, the main rail terminus for Edinburgh and Scotland’s east coast, is five minutes on foot — and from there, direct trains reach Edinburgh in 50 minutes, Falkirk in 25, Stirling in 30, and Aberdeen, Inverness, and the Highlands beyond. Glasgow Central station for trains south is ten minutes’ walk.

Merchant City is also Glasgow’s densest restaurant and bar district. Italian Centre, Hutcheson’s Hall, Brutti, the Ivy Buchanan Street, Café Gandolfi, Babbity Bowster — all within ten minutes’ walk. For work-stay professionals: Strathclyde University, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and the SEC/Hydro are all reachable in fifteen minutes by foot or short Subway hop. The studio works equally well as a city-break base for couples and a midweek-rotation base for visiting academics, doctors, and corporate teams.
