I love this hotel. The staff are helpful and kind.
I had a lovely stay at Motel One in Glasgow. After confirming on the phone a few days prior to my visit, the manager gave me a room upgrade for 'making them laugh' on the phone. Everybody was courteous and the room was tidy. Location next to the train station was ideal for my visit.
Basic room with no Veiw. But we just used it to sleep in so we're not bothered. Staff at reception brilliant and helpful. Bar staff lovely to.
Would have liked a Scottish breakfast, better coffee. Boiled egg n toast was sufficient. Lift to toilet was a bit strange especially after fresh orange juice. Sorry no draught lager. Shower too low.
We stayed here for two nights recently. Overall a pleasant experience. Good things: - Prices and location are good - Breakfast has vegan options and oatmilk - Room was very clean - bathroom is nice yet small Not so great things: - Rooms are way too small (not being able to walk past each other because of a lack of space is kinda a sign that the rooms were designed as too small) - the advertised queen/king bed is just 2 mattresses put together, but they give you one large duvet. If it is actually 2 beds I would like 2 blankets. My partner was on the edge of her mattress and for me to get some of the duvet I had to sleep in the ditch between the 2 mattresses. - pillows are uncomfortable (too large and fluffy) - Cleanliness in the public areas was sub standard (the bathrooms in the mezzanine level were dirty every day with full paper bins and paper towels in the sink and on the floors) - no keycard required to access the lifts which is not ok for a inner city hotel like this - breakfast area is way too small for the size of the hotel, every morning it was a pain to find a place to sit I wouldn’t stay here again due to the tiny rooms (I know they have an option for bigger rooms, but that seems unreasonable to me). Best thing was the breakfast.
You have to improve cleaning of the room
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay
Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, good breakfast and very near to the train station.
Enjoyed our stay but dissappointed that tv didn't work correctly on first night.Also you ran out of strawberry jam at breakfast.Reception explained that tv signal wasn't good because of the position of the hotel.?????????
Great place. I like staying here. Really friendly efficient team & overall excellent value. Only thing I'd say if I was nit picking ; you could dramatically improve the quality of your wine offering across the board while still keeping it affordable for guests & cheap for you to purchase wholesale. This is the only reason I went out & didn't spend money in the hotel bar.
Everything was in order, the hotel was clean and in a good location
Friendly welcome as usual. Clean, comfy room... bottle of water was very welcome.
Creepy rooms , creepy staff , creepy everything never gonna come in this one and will suggest others also to not to
Excellent situation and welcome. I always use this hotel- that says it all .
Great place to stay. Room clean, comfortable and quiet. Comfy bed. Friendly and helpful staff. Great central location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Breakfast was great with many options.
My third time staying at Motel One: Fast and effective check in, with friendly staff. Friendly bar staff also, with a pleasant ambience Easy entry after a late night in town I'd stay here yet again in the future. A fire alarm sounder went off on the Saturday morning, but stopped after a couple of minutes with thankfully no evacuation procedure required although no explanation, causing uncertainty in first instance.
Excellent service from Patricia on the front desk!
We use this hotel very regularly!!
Great location clean rooms and quiet atmosphere
The hotel is very clean and well maintained with good location, but a good hotel needs basic amenities that were not available..no slippers , even the toothpaste n brush etc not provided, no bin. In case of any help there is no intercom facility to call reception..lift was not working for a brief period of time. Staff cluelesssl about certain questions asked on booking and parking
Friendly and helpful desk staff. Quiet and comfortable room. Excellent location.
Excellent value for money at £90 - premier inn wanted £270! Friendly staff and comfy beds, would recommend
Great hotel as always, ideal location, friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms and comfy beds. Just a 9 because the TV didn't work.
What’s the point of checking in online -apart from paying- & downloading the check-in to my wallet? I show this on arrival only to be questioned when did I book as they can’t find my reservation. Because I’ve paid and it is now on another screen! What’s the point? That’s twice that has happened. Let’s test it again this week. It’s not your people- it’s your systems.
Staff excellent Helpful The only drawback was the roadworks outside with noise early morning right through the day
Excellent value for money. Hotel and room were very clean. Room size was good. Bed was very comfortable. Shower was cery good.
The standard is very high. Glasgow at its best. The morning breakfast staff are wonderful and the front desk staff very helpful and professional.
Absolutely fantastic stay! Clean room with a nice big window view! Would definitely return 😊
The room was really nice and exceptionally clean. The bed was comfy and I really appreciated the wide choice of pillows.
I've stayed here several time before. Staff always friendly, location great, room clean, bed fresh, and breakfast is always fully stocked and tasty.
The location is perfectly situated next to the train station in the heart of Glasgow. The room was clean with plenty of space and a great view of the city. The only issue with the room was a very squeaky bathroom door. Breakfast included many options for all types of appetites and dietary issues. I would recommend Motel One Glasgow to any traveler.
Great stay, comfortable bed and powerful shower. Staff all very helpful. Thank you
Lovely staff. Comfortable clean rooms..tea and coffee....30secs from railway entrance. Hallway doors a bit bangy but not the worst I've experienced.
Stay every week, good, solid, clean hotel and staff are great
This was an excellent location for our 1 night stay. I feel like it is very overpriced for the size of the room &lack of amenities & fridge. Staff were very pleasant & I assume if we stayed outside of Comm games dates the price would probably be more reasonable.
An excellent clean hotel in a super location.
It was my first time in a Motel One and I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel and facilities. I'd certainly stay in one again. My only suggestion would be to have a fridge in the room eg for milk
Absolutely a pleasure
We really enjoyed the entire experience: outstanding location, fun lobby scene, comfotsble/smartly appointed room, friendly staff at reception and at the bar.
Very central, clean and check in and out was smooth
Clean and great location.
The hotel and staff were appropriate for a £100 per night stay however we were charged £400 per night via booking.com due to Commonwealth Games. Total rip off!
Excellent bar and lounge area, always nice to have somewhere to relax without having to sit in your room. Friendly service, great view from our window, fab location right in Glasgow city centre
Very comfortable bed, great shower, room spotlessly clean. Reception and bar staff were really helpful. We didn’t have breakfast but the free coffee in the bar area was a great as we were in a bit of a rush. They serve a great martini in the bar. Perfect location only few steps from the mainline station and subway, with bars/restaurants close by and a short walk to the shops. I will stay again despite fire alarm at 5.30 am😂
I would have given a higher score, except that I was assigned a single bed. Two singles in the room were pushed together, but in reality you can only sleep in one. It was like sleeping in student accommodations or a caravan. I am 78 years old; the last time I slept in a single bed was in 1963 when I was fifteen. I went to the reception and requested a room with a double bed, but they didn’t seem to check if any were available. This was shortly after I checked in, and I was asked which floor I preferred, indicating that other rooms were likely available. I was instructed to return the following day before 11 am, but I had a memorial service to attend and didn't have time. So, the result was that I paid £700 for two nights to sleep in a single bed, or what counts as sleep.
Really nice hotel and we enjoyed our stay very much. Friendly staff all around the hotel. The standard of cleanliness was excellent and the fixtures and fittings were of a great standard.
Room compact but comfortable. Service excellent and good value. Breakfast was very basic. Suited me but if you hoped for a cooked offering you’d be very disappointed. Location was perfect. The only two things I hated about the room were the power went off the second the card was taken out of the power switch (no delay like most other hotels) and when you went into the room the TV switched itself on with the aquarium screen. Aaarrrggg.
Check in staff were brillant.
Lovely hotel, decent breakfast. Rooms are quite small in the standard rooms but comfy bed and clean. Ideal base for exploring Glasgow
Switch on. beOne.
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.
