Lovely team, lovely facilities, decent breakfast. Directly next to Glasgow Central Station, which was convenient, though there was consequently some construction in there area. The biggest letdown was that, for some reason, the shower was unfinished, with a wide-open hole where a door should be.
For the most part my stay for the one night was great and my only negative and reason for making down would be that before 11pm there was a dog barking quite loudly in the room next to me - I can’t really fault the hotel for this because reception staff were keen to try resolve the issue as the poor thing sounded quite distressed. I’d hope that guests bringing pets would be a bit more considerate to other guests and behave more responsibly.
Very nice Very clean Very nice staff 👌👍
The receptionist was very helpful, especially after the night my friends and I had and having to find a hotel for 5 of us late at night in the city centre. The rooms are very good and quiet even though it's very busy outside. Comfortable beds and great pillows, would definitely stay again.
Room was clean tidy comfortable. Didn't use the facilities. Had a problem with the lock in room door not operating. It was problematic when i first checked in took a few goes to work. At the end of the night it just wouldn't unlock a very grumpy and non apologetic manager opened it with her pass key. I felt her attitude was it was our fault but the night porter couldn't open it either. Not a word of apology from the manager
Everything was great clean room & comfy bed
Excellent location, friendly, helpful, welcoming staff, bar area relaxed, large, yet cosy & bar staff very pleasant & professional. Rooms clean, choice of various lighting & good shower. Join up for benefits. Very pleasant stay & will return.
Arrived early with intention of just putting bag in storage but room was already ready which was a bonus. Bed and pillows/ bedding very comfortable. No noise at all from the train station considering it's closeness. Staff very friendly.
Good location! Very central
From the ease of booking, good value, and great staff. I really enjoyed my stay in Glasgow. The only small issue was the room was very warm. Proved difficult to cool the room.
All good. I will be sure to book again. Thanks for the early check in :) I appreciate it.
Fantastic hotel, third time staying and one of best nights sleep I have ever had.
Had the pleasure of staying here on Easter Sunday. No issues, liked the egg hunt in our room only managed to find 2 though?
A really lovely hotel in a fantastic location - nice rooms with big comfy bed - brilliant power shower too.
I stay often, one of the best hotel chains I've stayed with, for efficiency, value & friendliness.
I cancelled the reservation and asked for a refund. I have raised 2 tickets and not received any reply yet. Requesting refund. Thanks!
The hotel is lovely and very clean, the vibe is very welcoming, the Easter hunt was quite fun and well appreciated. The cleanliness of the room and overall hotel was exceptional. The only gripes we have is the pillows weren’t the best suited to us personally and the breakfast being continental style wasn’t quite what we were expecting.
Staff very friendly and helpfull
Good location in city centre, friendly and professional staff, great room and facilities and nice touch with Easter treats provided in room.
Nice hotel close to Glasgow Central Station.
Music on from outside hotel until 3am. A warning should have been given from room 205 stating this. Also no draught beer on tap and breakfast was absolutely terrible. I would rather sleep on the street than stay in that hotel again.
In the bedroom there was 4 different size pillows not one matched we a a square that looked as if it was from a cushion, thin rectangle, bigger rectangle, and one normal size pillow and all very uncomfortable but after from that everthing else was good so if the pillow situation got sorted out it would have been a 10.
Excellent accommodation. Perfect for train station and Ovo Hydro, where we were seeing Peter Kay. Staff were very helpful and polite. Room was perfect.
I have stayed at this hotel many times and have always given an excellent review but this last visit was not good. My daughter and I were sharing a room. The room was really hot. We tried to get the AC to come on but it was just circulating the warm air that was already in our room. We barely slept as it was so uncomfortable. We phoned reception at 5am to see if anyone could take a look at it; we were told "no" but was offered a fan, which they expected us to get dressed and come down to pick up from reception ourselves! We spoke to the Manager the following morning. We were told that AC isn't available until later in the year when it reaches a certain temperature outside; that's not good enough, you should be able to control your room temperature all year round! If you open the window it's very noisy from the city that never sleeps!
Never had a bad stay here. Always a good clean comfortable room, and staff are always friendly and helpful. Superb location
After a long journey a warm welcome was received at reception from a very helpful staff. The premises are very well located for exploring Glasgow on foot or by local transport with easy access to retail outlets and restaurants.
Lovely hotel and nice pleasant staff. Rooms were fab with a great view from 6th floor. Would recommend
The hotel was clean and quiet and very conveniently located in town. Staff were friendly on check-in. Room was comfortable and well-appointed.
Found the hotel to be of great value with an excellent breakfast. Can't comment on lounge/bar as didn't use it, but visually looked really nice.
We are returning customer and enjoy motel one. Staff friendly, nice cocktails etc. But on this occasion the room was very warm and the air con was defective. Which resulted in very little sleep. Reception took a note of the defective. 1247.
This was a great choice for us! They allowed us store our bags before check in time. The room was very clean, as they cleaned it every day + changed the towels etc. l loved that it was very convenient to the city.
So convenient for Central Station. Clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff. Altogether, a very pleasant stay.
Really like your hotel and have stayed now a few times. The rooms were great, quite big, especially the bed. Bathroom is very nice too. The current soaps are lovely although one small improvement would be to have hand cream or body milk too.
all great apart from the horrible plastic cups in the bedrooms
All good
Great location and clean hotel
Great central location. Amazing shower. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
I was allocated a room on the sixth floor with a great city view. The room was good. Clean and spacious.
On arrival, even tho it close to midnight, I was greeted with v friendly & informative staff, who gave great advice. Room was clean & had all I needed. Watched a great film til I dropped off. Enjoyed the free teas & shower. Participate liked the 12noon check out!
Great hotel. The room was clean. Bed was comfortable. The staff were helpful. I liked the lounge and the books that were available for reading. A drinking water station would have been good, to fill up my bottle.
Fantastic hotel.. central to everything. The room was excellent, clean and very comfortable.. staff were very friendly and helpful.. thank you for a great stay xx
Great hotel to stay at highly recommended
The hotel itself is lovely but I was disappointed in my room this stay. Understandably I realise being 9 floors up the heat is going to rise but the room was almost unbearably hot but because I was staying above central station I couldn’t sleep with the window open. The room compared to the last time I stayed at Motel one was extremely small - thank goodness I was by myself. The tv in the room was also spotty signal wise and had a line appearing down the middle of it.
Quick check in, friendly staff, great room for a decent price
Everything was great. The hotel is centrally located, and the staff were always friendly and helpful.
Everything was perfect! The personal was very friendly and helpful, it was clean, beds are very comfortable and a very good breakfast!
Great reception area, easy to check in, clean hotel, nice staff, fabulous location, discount on parking. All GOOD
I like Motel One. I know what to expect and I liked the Easter offer. The only thing that spoiled my stay was the TV. I couldn't get the remote to work properly. I could only get a couple of channels so I let the front desk know. They replaced the remote control but I found that there was only limited channels. No ITV/STV channels. Plus the volume on the tv was distorted. I was trying to watch QI on screen but the voices were like echos. I would have expected more channels especially in the UK. I also couldn't check-in online as the payment screen kept saying there was an error. I also had to use a translation website as the check-in form was half English and half German. It shouldn't really happen with a multi-national company.
Great service from start to finish. Reception team were friendly, knowledgeable about the area and efficient. Housekeeping were discreet and quick. Bar staff were quick and the drinks were reasonably priced. The reception area and bar look really nice with food comfy seats. The room was a decent size and the bathroom, although small, had all that was needed. I didn't particularly like the plastic cups in the room, for tea or coffee. This is me second time at a Motel One hotel and it will be my go to in future.
Lovely stay, close to station and town centre, friendly staff, all round a great stay

Your benefits at a glance:
Glasgow
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. Centrally located in the heart of town, our hotel is a perfect base for your city break, short stay or weekend trip. If you’re travelling on business, You’ll be glad of our convenient transport links and free WiFi. Fortify yourself for a busy day with a healthy, organic breakfast.
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.
