MO is a great place to rest.
Very disappointing stay. The overall experience was underwhelming, and the staff came across as passive-aggressive rather than welcoming. The heating in the room didn’t work, cleanliness was below an acceptable standard, and the room had a strong smell of cigarettes and mould. Even the tables in the bar area were sticky and dirty. Unfortunately, this hotel fell far short of expectations, and I would not choose to stay here again. This is the second time I had a very unpleasant stay.
Good location and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Had a quiet room facing the rear and was very happy with that Breakfast was pretty basic but ok. Rooms simple and clean. Shower a bit plasticity and the soap holder broke off. Its fine for a night and I would return ss such
Always stay here when in Glasgow. Staff friendly and efficient. Rooms comfortable and clean and location is perfect.
Friendly welcome and staff, lovely room and bathroom. I particularly liked how quiet my room was. Only minor points were that there was no prosecco available in the bar, and I had to ask at reception for the complimentary bottle of water. It wasn't offered at check in.
Comfortable and spotless room, with an excellent shower room. The check-in and check-out process was very straightforward, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout.
The location was great for my needs. The reception staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful.
Good situation for my needs.. Good breakfast. Comfortable
Very nice stay again.
Great value stay in a really good location
Construction work adjacent to hotel, Not informed at booking
Great room, lovely and bright with everything I needed.
Clean room. Top location next to Glasgow C
Location was perfect for work once I had navigated the roadworks on the pavement outside the hotel. A plug beside the mirror would be practical when drying my hair, as now have a crink in my neck trying to stretch the hairdryer towards the mirror, really bad planning on this one!
Brilliant hotel cleanliness location and staff
Great clean ,value,and very polite and professional staff
It was not a good experience staying there. There wasn’t even water provided for drinking purposes. No tooth paste and soap. Only one liquid soap for face, shampoo and body. Breakfast didn’t have omelette. Pathetic over all.
Beds are so comfy
Poor breakfast options Despite that was cold outside their AC system was not able to provide heat and more importantly the fan was not able to be shut off!!! So we were sleeping with our jackets! The epic answer from their front desk was that it's not winter cold, it's spring cold and so it is. For the record the temperature was < 10 at night. And as a final comment there was no phone to call from room the reception!!! I had to use my mobile to ask them close the AC!
The location was ideal, rest the facilities were very much below average.
I was very cold at your hotel; your air conditioning wasn't working, and when I asked, they said the entire hotel's air conditioning system was broken. Now I have pneumonia and am receiving treatment. I hope you will take people's health more seriously. We left the hotel at 3:30 AM, and when we asked the reception staff if they could prepare sandwiches instead of breakfast, they absolutely refused. However, they gave sandwiches to those who checked in at the same time as us.
Nice enough hotel in a good location. I paid £132 for a room for myself for one night, & for that I expected maybe a little more. Very basic & minimal toiletries in the bathroom, the coffee available was unpleasant, & I objected to plastic cups to drink hot beverages from. No glasses in the bathroom. The room was clean though, the bed was comfortable, & the staff i interacted with were all pleasant.
Lovely spacious rooms, modern. very friendly staff and great location.
Friendly staff, fairly clean rooms (just a load of cobwebs on the ceiling), good location.
Appreciate having person at door checking people going in and out of hotel. The extra security especially in evenings was reassuring! Only thing wished breakfast buffet had a bit more variety. Maybe helpful to have microwave to heat make food warm if required.
I've stayed here a few times,one of the best places to stay,great room,massive bed,nice n quiet.
Rooms way too cold for me. Took until I checked out to get used to the temperature. Staff and team excellent, very good service. Beds not comfortable due to two singles that are not joined together well. Room was way too small for the rate and area. Breakfast not as good as last time, a number of items had been taken off the buffet.
Hotel staff were excellent and very helpful. Only issue was room was too hot and no way of adjusting it other than opening window but so noisy outside this was not an option. Ridiculous system for a moder building!
Always a fantastic stay, my first choice EVERY time for business or leisure. Rooms always spotless and staff are always so very happy and helpful
Lovely check in staff. Awful area. Room so so. VERY expensive for what I got
Excellent location
All okay but breakfasts were a bit chaotic and items were not refilled, especially on the Monday.
Really good, with very friendly and helpful staff!! The main downside isn’t the hotel itself, but its location, which can be a bit noisy at night. Additionally, the room temperature cannot be adjusted, so it can feel too cold or too warm at different times of the day.
Good location, good value for money, rooms clean and hosting great view of city. Overall very satisfied with my stay.
The room was very depressing and small and felt a little like a prison cell. It was very small as little room to move around the bed. The room was also very cold and there was no impact from touching the unit on the wall. There was also no iron and the quilt was too thin. A woman also walked into my room from housekeeping witholut knocking
Location was nice because it was walkable to downtown. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.
Staff are very friendly and helpful . Location is central .
The atmosphere was modern and welcoming. Easy to navigate and I really appreciated that there are 3 lifts and that they are fast. The staff were all straight to the point, quick and were friendly. Wehn needed help, the staff had no hesitations and were very quick to help out. The bar was reasonably priced, the mood of the bar was enjoyable and relaxing, with security being present, it made the stay feel safe and secure. The location of the motel is absolutely brilliant, being so close to the high streets, train station and the subway only a short walk is definitely a big perk. I loved the mini pastries, the juice and meats at breakfast but the other hand, the breakfast could use improvement, I understand that hotel does not have a traditional kitchen for hot meals but for the price, there could definitely be more options for additional foods. I enjoyed the bread and pastries but they could definitely be restocked faster than they were. The hotel room door was a little shaken whenever other guests would use their door, even if the door is closed shut and locked, other guests using the doors would seemingly cause some sort of atmospheric pressure change in the corridors making the door shake a little. It would be a nice thing to fix or improve, maybe ensuring all the door are tightened so it does not disrupt when guests sleep. Also, the heater/fan in the wall was not working in the room 8.47 making the room cold at times or too hot, and the window was not always a good substitute due to weather changes outside.
Great location, friendly staff. As always the breakfast/ dining area is too cramp to attract.
Ideal location for a stopover before moving on. Very central and only yards from main line Central rail station and Bars and Restaurants. Very comfortable room, well appointed. All in all an ideal location.
Love this hotel. It’s in a perfect location for everything in Glasgow. Always feel safe here.
Great hotel ,lovely staff ,water pressure in shower could have been better.
Warm welcome at reception (Erica). Early check in provided. Clean room/functional layout.
Always a great place to stay. Location is great. Staff very friendly, can’t fault it.
Amazing night. Facilities immaculate. Bed comfortable. Staff friendly and accommodating
We are regulars at this hotel. Excellent standards of cleanliness throughout. Friendly staff. That's why we keep coming back. You need to offer a discounted rate to repeat visitors though.
Hospitality is very nice, thanks for hosting me. Only breakfast is very minimum option while options are delicious
The room was quite small, so adequate for a night or two at the most but not a week. The location is not great at all, quite unsafe and not pleasant. The fact that the cups were plastic is not great poor value.
Nice location, friendly staff, great that umbrellas were available. Everything was spotlessly clean, and all aspects were easy.
Beautiful hotel and great customer service. Will definitely book again.
Switch on. beOne.

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.
