Hotel is gorg, decor is brilliant and room decor. I have travelled lots for work and never had such bad pillows! I also had black little hair on my bath matt which I picked up after showering, so not convinced the floor was properly cleaned and another hair on the bathroom door. These combined I sadly won't be staying again
Comfortable stay at hotel in excellent location. Quiet room. Helpful staff. Good breakfast.
Everything was wonderful and I would have given 10 out of 10 if it wasn't for the outrageously rude and impatient man working at breakfast. Breakfast was busy, but all the guests were very laid back so it wasn't in any way stressful or chaotic. Until he made his various appearances to restock. He was extremely rude to my husband because he didn't move out of his way quickly enough when he approached him, from behind, with a tray of food. He could be heard muttering loudly about guests to the other staff and on more than one occasion he walked past our table complaining about 'these people'. I complained to the duty manager, Steven, who was very nice and helpful and who assured me the member of staff would be spoken to. It would still put us off staying here again though, which is a great pity.
As ever our stay in Motel One Glasgow was just what you would hope for. Elena greeted us and was welcoming, efficient and friendly. She seemed genuinely interested in our reason for visiting Glasgow. Our room was comfortable and quiet although we were fairly near the street. It had the basic tea and coffee making tray. Only question - why does the sink not have a plug? Did I miss something obvious there?
Really really lovely hotel, one of the best Motel One’s I’ve stayed in.
Fabulous!
The room was small but perfectly formed with a comfortable bed and a great shower. Staff were helpful and check in was very easy.
This was a really good choice of hotel if staying in Glasgow. Whilst it isn’t luxurious and the rooms were fairly small we found the staff to be great, check in easy, the location very convenient and the German style breakfast a pleasant relief from most hotel offerings.
-Lovely modern clean hotel. -Staff are friendly and helpful. -Breakfast was good but restaurant on my last days was busy and packed, had to wait to find empty table. -The rooms need a small fridge. -Overall great experience and good value for money. -Will definitely repeat staying at motel one.
Very pleasant staff and rooms were perfect for me traveling alone.
Great location. Lots of restaurants and transport options near by.
The only criticism I have is the temperature of the room, it was cold and there is no way of warming it, I had the same issue in Manchester earlier in the year, when it was a cold weekend. I don’t enjoy being cold in a hotel room!
Great room and staff are always warm and friendly
Good place in the city, nice breakfast, overall real nice choice
The check-in process is always very smooth and easy and the hotel is in a great location with friendly staff. When I checked into my room (10.04) the window was open and the thermostat was set to something crazy like 12 degrees. There was a strong smell of aftershave so I'm guessing they were trying to air the room. I increased the thermostat and shut the window and had a hot shower as I was going out. It was still really cold when I got back later that evening but I was so tired I just went to bed. It wasn't a great welcome. I know I could have phoned or gone downstairs but TBH I was out first thing the next morning.
Lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff.
The room very good, but breakfast for 14 GBP was rather poor, no warm eggs or ham and eggs, no sausages. Many tables used, their cleaning was no so efficient.
Interacted with at least half a dozen front desk staff – every single one of whom was fantastic. The rooms have everything you need and nothing you don’t. The beds are heavenly in the linens provide warmth, but are exceptionally light, which I adore. Most comfortable bed in Scotland.
I've stayed a few times and it never disappoints. Nice clean, simple stylish rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and in a perfectly central location ... and at a reasonable price.
Staff were brilliant and friendly. Room fabulous, clean, plenty of towels and pillows. Location spot on.
The toilets are on the Meazanine floor and when I finally found them there was only 1 toilet I could access. I am disabled so this was quite challenging
Perfect location, helpful and friendly staff in reception, bar and the maid. Good breakfast included. I stayed in in cold days i August and could not get the room warm.
Reception is lovely. This is not reflected elsewhere. Rooms are beyond basic with nothing but soap provided. Pillows stent adequate two are like a regular pillow but narrow which I don’t understand the other two are square? Why can’t you provide regular sized pillows? Bathroom really small. Toilet roll wasn’t changed to a fresh one which I’d disgusting given a toilet roll holds germs more than anything else. Maybe spend less money on the collection of random chairs on reception and more on your rooms
First time with MotelOne and I loved it! I've got a free upgrade to a deluxe room, and the view was simply stunning. Very comfy bed and quiet.
I had a fantastic stay here. I spent two nights in an exceptionally comfy bed, with a clean, beautifully decorated room. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, and couldn't do enough for you. It's also in a great location right next to Central Station. I will definitely stay here again.
Always a great welcome at M1Glasgow. I stay in Glasgow regularly and will choose to stay here if it is in budget. This is a great central location. All rooms are soundproof, this makes a huge difference being next to the station. Reception and lounge/ bar area are an eclectic mix and great environment. Breakfast is continental and has a good range of artisan breads and other items. Staff can be sliw clearing tables. Some rooms are getting a bit tired due to the use that they get. Never regretted staying here and look forward to my next stay.
Not heard of this brand before, but very happy we found them. Very modern hotel literally next door to Glasgow Central train station (just a shame Glasgow city centre is such a poop hole now, unlike when I was born). Spacious reception area, with friendly, helpful staff. The room was beautiful. Bright and clean and the TV welcomed you as you entered the room. People were moaning there was no hot breakfast option. Hey those people, read the description properly, continental breakfast. You don't need a full Scottish, and if you do, there are 2 wetherspoons in view. Anyway, we digress. A good selection of bits for breakfast, but its a continental clientele, so don't expect people to queue the British way. My only way to improve it, is how about some gluten free options. Maybe some bread and cereals. Lots of hotels are offering this service nowadays. On the whole thou, very very happy with the choice.
Great stay clean friendly staff .In City near everything..I had great sleep great big bed . Doors soft closing .Nice bottle of water which lasted the 2.days .I would highly recommended this hotel . Safe feeling in this hotel
Absolutely amazing stay. Great reception staff - everyone we met was so helpful and welcoming. Rooms are comfortable - everything needed for the stay. The only downside - no small fridge in the room.
Quick and easy check in with friendly staff. My only issue was the room was very small and felt quite cramped.
First time staying at your hotel. Everything was brilliant. Lovely place to stay.
I first asked for a room with a view but could barely see out the window because of digusting bird dropping covering the whole window,then given a room facing the opposite view looking straight at hotel window across the street,lounge bar was closed.
Excellent stay check in was great had not booked a room as we had a unexpected stay in Glasgow thought we would be there for two nights but turned out we only needed one night so our 2nd was refunded. Which was a lovely surprise. Very friendly helpful staff, hotel was super clean & very comfortable.
We were given a 'save until last' room because we booked through a third party and were told it was an 'upgrade.' The breakfast was basic and not really value for money. It was clean and the staff were professional.
The hotel was modern, clean and very central. We were on the 7th floor which was quiet with a large comfortable bed, powerful shower, toiletries, hairdryer and tea and coffee provided, the only thing missing was a fridge. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Super hotel in a perfect position for visiting Glasgow. Exceptionally clean room and lovely, relaxing bar area. Friendly, helpful staff. Altogether a great 3 night stay.
Motel one is one of the best hotel’s I have stayed at in a long time , the beds were very comfortable and the staff were very accommodating 10/10 from us and we will 100% be back.
Very helpful and clean hotel . Very central as well
Had a phenomenal stay! Staff were so lovely and attentive. Room was exceptionally clean and cosy.
Breakfast, not enough staff on duty and a lot of food had run out and cutlery, Delph etc, it was a long time before they were refilled. Breakfast staff not very pleasant didn’t like their job.
gave up a complimentary upgrade but even without that the rooms are always spotless the coffee they give you is always sooo good the staff are so incredibly friendly it’s the only hotel me and my partner ever book now
Overall a good stay but with no frills. The room had a nice view but is nothing special and you can tell the hotel already functioned like a hotel before and just underwent a light renovation. Breakfast was a joke, everyone was missing and folks were jumping on any food that would be delivered and all was gone after 2 minutes. Demand > Supply ratio was very, very bad. Brekkie is not worth the money
Pleasant stay for a good price, good location, modern room
Compared to other motel 1 we have stayed in before this one was pretty disappointing - we paid for a queen size bed it was really just 2 single beds pushed together. The bar area was nice and the staff were friendly but really don’t like when you don’t get what you paid for. It was adequate enough but not entirely pleased. For reference the general area around the hotel is also pretty rough, dirty - I know there’s nothing the hotel can do about this but feel it’s important for people to know before they book.
Great value as we paid 275£ for 2 nights.Great location.Big comfy bed and not stingy with free tea,coffee and milk in the room.Very good short stay.
The position and the decor of the hotel, especially the lobby and bar areas, is great. The rooms are compact, but with plenty of room for one to feel comfortable. The room was clean, lovely clean white linens and stylish design. I wasn't prepared for not having a little fridge (I didn't even think to look at the rooms facilities list for that), it was tricky as I was travelling with medication that really should have been refrigerated, but for three nights I chanced it, I would reconsider my options next time because of this. The staff at the front desk were always friendly, efficient and helpful. Lack of room service was also a surprise, again, that would influence my choice next time. Overall, for the comfortable, clean room close to station I think it was reasonable value, not sure I'll be booking a Motel One again though.
Lovely staff bed was extremely comfortable Would definitely book again 🙂
Ideal location,lovely lobby and bar area,friendly,courteous staff,lovely room,shower immense. Everything easy to find.
Welcome friendly staff, clean and comfortable room, always a great stay
Superb hotel, perfectly situated, welcoming reception, friendly, helpful and pleasant staff, spotlessly clean rooms (if a little on the small side), comfy bed and for once sufficient pillows! Great selection of drinks (but shame no draft beer), nice breakfast, good value for money.

Six reasons why you need to visit Glasgow
Evergreen
The name Glasgow comes from Gaelic and means ‘dear green place’ – more than 90 parks and gardens, such as Pollock Country Park and Kelvingrove Park, are open to the public and are perfect for taking a walk or simply relaxing.
Active
There’s something on offer every day of the year here, from festivals to football matches, art-house cinema to comedy clubs. The music scene in particular is second to none, no matter whether you’re into jazz, hip hop, electro or classical. Designated by UNESCO as a City of Music, it’s not for nothing that Glasgow is home to one of the world’s most sold-out concert locations (The OVO Hydro), which hosts a constant stream of superstars. You can also discover up-and-coming musicians in bars such as King Tut’s or Nice ‘n’ Sleazy. And you can find the Scottish Opera, the National Ballet and the National Theatre here – not to mention the World Pipe Band Championships,which involve nothing less than the world championship title for bagpipes!
Wonderful(ly cheap)
The city has more than 20 museums and galleries, as well as numerous other sights, many of which have free admission – such as the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, which contains one of Europe’s largest art collections, the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow’s St Mungo’s Cathedral and the Botanic Gardens.
Varied
From climbing in a Gothic church to wakeboarding or winter sports in summer – Glasgow has much more than simply sightseeing to offer. Loch Lomond is also only around 40 minutes out of the city; you can explore the national park on foot, by boat or on horseback. Gourmands can examine the production of Scotland’s national drink by visiting one of the many whisky distilleries, such as the Clydeside Distillery in the middle of the city or the Glengoyne Distillery during a day trip out into the Highlands.
Spruced up
You might see an oversized panda just outside the front door, or an astronaut along the street: Glasgow has transformed into a real mecca for street art. You can discover some of the best artworks by taking a walk along the Mural Trail.
Appetising
Finnieston, in the west of the city, is Glasgow’s designated foodie district. There’s something to suit every taste, from young and cool locations to award-winning gourmet restaurants. By the way, Glasgow is also the UK’s most vegan-friendly city! It’s also got a thriving bar scene: things are no longer simply all about the (still delicious) whisky. Independent breweries have helped to establish craft beers, while juniper fans can look forward to specialised gin bars such as Gin71.
Location and surroundings
A journey studded with design
We have packed everything we need for the styling concept of our Motel One Glasgow: Get on board and enjoy the ride!
Art with heart
The art at the Motel One in Glasgow takes you on a journey through the Scottish Highlands. The photography from artist duo Scullion and Dalziel captures details and impressions of romantic, rugged nature from unusual perspectives.
Hotel Glasgow
Situated immediately next to Glasgow Central Station, our affordable design hotel is dedicated to railway romance. The Motel One Glasgow combines the industrial character of train and rail technology with the special sense of adventure that accompanies a journey by train. Be inspired by the detailed artworks by Scottish photography duo Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion and take an exciting trip through the history of trains.
Our employees are busy operating the switches behind the reception to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Wireflow lights by Vibia are reminiscent of the shape of tracks and railroad switches. Our One Lounge is also electrifying: the Spectre design suspended luminaires by Quasar create a visual reference to high-voltage power cables, and you can read the timetable for the Central Station on an infoscreen mounted on the stone wall. If you’d like to experience an antique train compartment for yourself, take a seat on the quilted benches.
Shelves and tables transport you to Glasgow’s industrial past with high-quality brass fittings, while Aldo Bernardi wall lamps round off the design concept. The bar takes a more rustic approach: enjoy a view of Dalziel and Scullion’s amazing photography as you sit at the genuine wooden counter and channel the excitement of travelling by train.
Whether you visit us by train, plane or car, you can take advantage of the same comfortable box-spring beds, extensive breakfast buffet and free WiFi in our affordable design hotel that you have come to expect from Motel One. Situated immediately next to Glasgow Central Station, the hotel is not only highly accessible by public transport, it is also the ideal starting point for exploring sights like the Gallery of Modern Art, City Chambers and Glasgow Cathedral. Full steam ahead!
