We love that we can count on consistency with Motel One. The beds are comfy, linens are good quality and pillows were best in our trip. Location is always excellent in the 3 cities we stayed at Motel One.
Fantastic hotel. Brave with the decor but they’ve pulled it off and it looks fantastic. Great front desk service the guy who greeted me on Wednesday night (10pm) was extremely helpful and offered to provide places to visit to see or eat from when he heard it was my first time in Glasgow. All the staff were helpful. Good breakfast selection.
Lovely hotel in good location only complaint reception told us the bar was open till 2am last orders 1:30am arriving at1:10am the bartender said he was closed as he had had a busy day on his own couldn’t pour two glasses of wine disappointed
I had an accessible room which was very good, it had everything I needed including a kettle I could reach, that doesn’t happen very often when I stay at hotels!
Everything is genuinely really great, really easy, really clean... but WHY ARE THE PILLOWS THAT SHAPE!?
Rooms are to hot and air conditioning hits you in bed so can't use it during the night. Black walls aren't very welcoming
Great room, great location, great price
Great location, room very comfy with all the necessities, and the staff was welcoming and accommodating. We had a wonderful stay, and we enjoyed everything from breakfast to the quiet of our room. Will come back again for sure !
Easy check in. Clean well appointed room. Good bar service.
The room wasn't made up for a child. We waited just 15mins for this to be sorted. Everything else was great.
Hotel was convenient,clean and staff helpful. Room very pleasant. Area a little rough but motel felt secure. Breakfast a little expensive.
for check in to check out , hotel and staff where excellent
Great location, friendly staff, clean and quiet room A queue at check in + a few computer/payment problems but dealt with quickly. The aircon in the room wasn't working (so I'm glad the window could be opened) and the tv kept turning itself off
Great friendly staff room was good and had an excellent stay
The bed was comfy and i kept the fire on the telly all night, was unreal chore
Great hotel at a reasonable price in a good location. Staff were friendly and efficient.
Motel one is in a great location, good value for money and very comfortable. Rooms are small but well appointed and I really enjoyed my stay here.
Great stay we had nice room with a view over the city , for me and my wife ,only fault we had .no plug in the sink, complete waste of water.
We have been to this hotel a few times and loved it But last weekend we couldn’t sleep for the night club down the road it was bang bang till 3 in the morning Will be looking for a different location in the future
Great to stay so close to the train station, at such a great-designed hotel. Very reasonable price too! Nice staff.
Friend efficient staff. Clean and quiet room. Good breakfast.
From Start to finish I was impressed with welcome I received from Steven Wright. Steven took time to answer questions that I posed regarding the different rooms which were available which in turn helped me select the type that suited me on this occasion. Checking in and becoming a member was made simple as Steven did all that for me. I am a proud Glaswegian and good to know when people visit the city there first impression will be to met by people of Stevens calibre. He is a great Ambassodor for the City and your company. I am not a relative and I have never met Steven before. I will certainly be back and have passed on my experience to many of my friends Regards Bryan Watson
Score of 8 due to room on Saturday being noisy. However.. the score would have been a lot lower if it wasn't for the fantastic way that staff dealt with the issue in a professional and genuine manner (on the night and also the next morning). There is a wider issue in this venue that the rooms at the back overlook the station infrastructure and there is a club that has very loud vibration and noise until 0200. Although I have stayed here in the past, I've always had a room at the front and so wasn't aware of it. Sadly checking in at 2300 Saturday didn't exactly give me a great choice of rooms or the ability to move much. I know it isn't economically great, but I would consider not selling rooms at the back until the noise issue is sorted (or offering at a low rate).
We arrived on a very wet Sunday afternoon and we were lucky enough to be able to check in early which was really appreciated because we were drenched. Staff were warm and friendly. We were able to store our luggage after check out which was hugely helpful given how close the hotel is to Central station. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. Very reasonable price.
Such a lovely find in the heart of Glasgow downtown. It was what I needed for a quick recharge from traveling and exploring the bigger cities and touristy attractions.
Great basics, great value for money. Just the water pressure in the shower was extremely low, too low. And the bed sheets were torn in Many places (too old).
Room on 12th floor was far too warm even with the window open which was then noisy
We were allocated Room 1101 upon checkin around 1030pm. After taking a shower and then being ready for bed - after for me travelling for nearly 24 hours- it became apparent that not only was the room temperature unbearably hot but also the air conditioning was completely non-functioning. Upon speaking to reception at around 1130pm we were then allocated another room. As much as I appreciate the response from your staff- after them agreeing that the temperature on the 11th and 12th floors can become unbearable- I find this completely unacceptable. The inconvenience of having to move room at that time of night is not the hotel experience I expect from Motel one- having stayed in various properties of yours- and is more comparable to the experience of budget properties such as travelodge! I hope that modifications will be made so that no other customers have to have a negative experience like we had and that I do not have to have a repeated non-experience should I decide to stay with you again.
We are always made very welcome. Love the warm and friendly reception area. Rooms are always clean and well looked after
Nice hotel well situated. Rooms a bit on the small side however adequate.The room decor was very nice and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom was a good size with a brilliant large walk in shower. Disappointed that the room I was allocated had no view (level 1 room 5) only a view of the brick wall of the station next door.The tv also only had 3 channels to view which i pointed out to the reception staff.
So convenient from Glasgow Central. Rooms may be small but have tea and coffee, hairdryer and shampoo and body wash. All very important. The free large bottle of water was very welcome. Staff were fabulous, very professional and friendly, breakfast was great and the bar was well stocked. Free luggage storage was a big plus. So why not at 10? This is not anything the hotel could chance I’m sure, but the relentless boom boom boom of a nearby nightclub didn’t end until 2am. Our friends staying at the other side of the hotel didn’t hear anything.
Was given a room on a high floor as requested,room was clean,comfortable and comfy bed.Good choice at breakfast
Just what I expected from previous visits. Comfy room, calm ambiance and good continental breakfast. Would use again and recommend.
excellent location, although some noise on a saturday night in the locale. Friendly and helpful front desk staff, the bar team also. the room was ok..a little small for the ££ would have liked a bath, not just a shower: but shower worked well (plenty of hot water)
We have stayed here on numerous occasions, and have never had 1 complaint. This 2 day stay was well below the standard we are used to. The water in the sink wasn't draining away. The heating wasn't working... And we had trouble to get the TV to work... Even after asking at reception there was no solution 😕 and have u changed mattresses? Ours was brick hard and never slept the 2 nights. Then there was the noise... Banging constantly left right and centre. And lastly our. Smoke alarm was covered in a dirty sock... Photo attached. Hairdryer is brilliant though Absolutely gutted at this review as all my others have been excellent. Hopefully just a 1 off experience.
Very central Rooms small but lovely, new & clean. Good bathroom. Lovely, helpful, reception staff whatever the time of day. Free wifi Would stay again.
As ever , great stay, will be back in a few weeks.! Will try not to lose my bloody hat again !!
The hotel is in the city centre, which is close to everything and easy to move around. I will stay again in any of the motel one
only complaint was the poor pressure in shower, and small towels, everything else great!
As a solo traveller visiting family in Glasgow this hotel feels like home. I never feel uncomfortable sitting alone in the bar area and it's always warm & cozy and welcoming. Everywhere is clean and staff are friendly and professional. I would like to see twin beds in some of the rooms in order to share with a friend or my daughter on occasion.
Unfortunately we had a power cut but this was not the fault of the hotel. Bedrooms were fine and comfortable , however i thought the breakfast was expensive for what it was, if it had been hot options then I would have understood but it was a pretty basic buffet.
First time used Motel one . Would not hesitate to return. Nice clean room ,easy check in and a nice continental breakfast.
The hotel was superb, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the staff were very friendly and helpful and it was very reasonably priced.
Friendly helpful staff, clean room very good breakfast
Room small but everything you need is there. Staff excellent. Main issue with room the mechanical ventilation which you cannot turn off which is noisy.
From the ease of booking / checking in online to collecting my key at reception, the front of house team were friendly. The room was on point too and had everything that was required for an overnight stay. On using the bar, the staff seemed friendly also, although the drinks were slightly overpriced On the whole though, a good experience and I will be back, in fact I've already booked!!!
Really lovely staff that work there and made my stay as good as it could get. The room was a really good size for the few days I stayed and was very clean the hotel itself was amazing and really had a calming vibe. I ha e recommended this hotel to others who have had positive experiences.
A very nice hotel, let down by being stifling hot in the both the room and breakfast area. The room was so hot it was like sleeping in a heatwave and as helpful as the staff were, they explained there was no way to make it any cooler other than offering me a fan.
Great hotel, great staff, great rooms, great breakfast. Perfect
Great locatiion,comfy beds,modern rooms,100 percent perfect
Switch on. beOne.

A centre of music and design on the Clyde
Glasgow is regarded as Scotland’s top shopping city, and regularly sets new fashion and design trends. So our affordable Design Hotel in Oswald Street suits the city perfectly, and offers visitors an oasis of relaxation with its individually-designed rooms and cosy box-spring beds.

Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city, and a popular destination for European tourists, attracted principally by its numerous museums, galleries, shops and pubs. The name of the city comes from the Gaelic and means “Green Hollow”: still, thanks to the city’s extensive greenery and parks, an entirely fitting appellation. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?
Budget Design Hotels in Glasgow – your Motel One
Glasgow’s image is largely determined by its music and arts scenes. The city is regarded as a centre of alternative music, and has produced many internationally famous artist such as Amy Macdonald, Snow Patrol and Franz Ferdinand. A wealth of music venues and art galleries make Glasgow Scotland’s cultural capital.
There is just as much to appeal to history and architecture enthusiasts. Not far from our hotel, George Square hosts statues of famous people with a link to Scotland such as James Watt and Robert Burns. This central square is in turn close to Queen Street central station, and is the very heart of the city. It is also where you can find more information about cultural events, and book tickets for sights and performances.
Following along Cathedral Street brings you in minutes to Glasgow Cathedral, the oldest and largest church in the city, a superb example of Scottish Gothic architecture regarded as an outstanding architectural achievement. With its pointed crossing tower it makes a striking feature of Glasgow’s skyline.
Glasgow Tower, River Clyde and Gallery of Modern Art
The Glasgow Tower, an even more prominent landmark on the south bank of the Clyde, is the highest building in Scotland, ascending 127 metres high. The whole tower has an aerofoil shape and can rotate through a full circle; it’s regarded as a masterpiece of engineering and construction.
The River Clyde runs past the foot of the tower and not far from our affordable hotel. At night, its skilfully illuminated bridges make for a great photo.
Any fan of modern art will make a beeline for the Gallery of Modern Art which has permanent and temporary exhibitions on various themes, and in contrast to most of its peers, shows mainly works by living artists.
Come to our Motel One to make the most of this centre of music and design on the Clyde – We and the city are waiting to welcome you.
