Very welcoming staff, inspite of small queue for service at reception to check in, it was worth the wait with the staff member very helpful, taking my room requests (high floor, quieter spot with view if possible) into account and also answering my many other questions & validating my parking ticket, resulting in a reduction to £9 for 24 hrs parking at the NCP close by. Excellent and well priced dinner recommendation suitable for a single female traveller too. Great location close to Buchanan street and in spite of location close to a train station (central station) the area around it felt safe, which I had had some concerns about. Only things that resulted in a 9 rather than a 10 would be it would be great to have had a nespresso machine or something similar in the room (rather than instant coffee sachets) and a fridge is always useful if staying somewhere for a few nights. I didn’t try the bar so cannot comment. Comforting that the hotel locks its doors at 10pm ‘for your own safety’ but you can come & go with your room key for access, and there is a helpful doorman positioned near the doors during the ‘open door’ times.
Staff were fantastic, room a wee bit tired.
Super godt hotel
Motel One in Glasgow is conveniently located. The room was comfortable and well appointed. Staff were friendly and efficient.
Quickly checked in and room was ready before 3pm, room clean, quiet, good views of Glasgow City centre straight on to the Spiderman set. Check out at 12pm is really good as alot of places are 10. Great location in the city centre just along from the NCP car park and was a good price. We will be back.
It is pleasure staying at Motel One. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the rooms comfortable with everything one needs. Looking forward to my next stay.
Motel One is always my go to hotel. It's great value for money, always immaculate and has the best showers of any hotel chain I've stayed in. The staff are always super friendly and welcoming and it really feels like home from home.
Awful , no heating , could not sleep , had go hospital next day due to low immune system , said don’t put heating on from June to July , I sat in station. To warm up I want my money bak, uve been referred to equality advisory service for ignoring my disabilities and failing to make reasonable adjustments and told cannot warm up my room because of health and safety
great stay and excellent service from the staff, especially storing our bags on Saturday!
Comfortable and clean
Very comfortable bed. Room and bathroom good but why plastic cups? No internet access due to some kind of fault for the whole of my 3 night stay very inconvenient. Generally very quiet until Friday night when a very loud nightclub behind the hotel kept me awake
GREAT SERVICE
Superb lounge, nice room, great staff
Great hotel in a prime location - great service by reception team - efficient, professional and polite. Room as expected - all the facilities expected - clean and functional.
I had the best time ever and will beck again and nothing was to much of a problem the staff was fantastic and very friendly and helpful
Excellent service. Accomodated when needed last minute change and twin bed making up , one email and it was all sorted. Reception were great and helped with additional key card. Stayed a few times now and always clean , great location and staff very helpful.
Breakfast is expensive for what is provided, and the quality has gone down since the last time I was at the hotel (9 months ago). Shower's plastic floor is quite noisy, and water pressure could be better.
Everything was great except for the required clean table at breakfast which was poor food was very good i would use this hotel anytime in the future
Staff always lovely, breakfast great, room small but very clean.
Really disappointed, our room was on the 1st floor there was a strong smell of Body Odour or something in the corridor, I reported it to reception. Housekeeping sprayed but it was back the next morning. We went down for breakfast at approx. 10,15 there was no clean tables they were all full of dirty dishes. I cleared a table so we could sit to have breakfast on going up to the breakfast bar there was no clean cutlery, plates. Everything required to be refilled as there was no bread or fruit left. There seemed to be no staff around.
The hotel is conveniently situated opposite the Central Train station. My daughter and I travelled from London to Glasgow by train and were relieved that we did not have to walk far with our luggage. The receptionist handling our check in was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel room was comfortable and clean and the bed very comfortable. There are many restaurants in the fasinity of the hotel.I can highly recommend this hotel. The reason for not scoring the hotel a 10, is because the room was rather small for two people and felt a bit crammed.
Super quiet room in the heart of the city. Very stylish, super comfy bed and amazing view on the city. I was on 7th Floor.
Painless check in, room immaculate as always , fantastic service from the bar staff, cocktails outstanding, unfortunately wifi did not work at all on this occasion, regardless of what device we tried :( 9th floor connection was very poor! Still one of my favourite places to stay in Glasgow!
Poor stay due to your systems issues. Had to queue for 30 mins to check in. Had to ask for the water bottle voucher. There were queus all evening in the lobby/bar area as people waited to check in. The Wifi didn't work. The team were using manual systems to check in and whilst they coped well they coul have been firendlier. The bar team are very functional, not much in the way of hospitality!
The hotel was ok but things were poor The WiFi in my room was awful which meant I couldn’t work, the tv was crap and missing channels and keep going back to the start screen and the room was smal
Staff extremely friendly and helpful!
Staff were really friendly and extremely helpful and made the place. The room was a bit small. Only a couple of channels worked on the tv. The wifi was terrible, couldn’t connect the first day and when I finally did the signal was poor. When my room was cleaned the bins weren’t emptied and a cleaning rag was left in the sink.
No issues, great location, friendly staff and clean room.
room was very comfortable. beds especially. check in and check out were very simple and straightforward. Only thing that could be slightly improved is the water pressure in the shower and the single hair and body product.
Have stayed at the Glasgow hotel a few times now, love the rooms & bathrooms. However, it is strange that the standard double rooms only have 1 seat in them considering they are for 2 people!
Fantastic location late check out , nice surroundings and staff very accommodating
Always stay at tjis hotel staff are Absolutely Fabulous, help full caring spot on..
Excellent location to city centre, friendly staff, excellent customer service and fantastic rooms
Unfortunately there were "IT issues" when we arrived, resulting in a long queue. The wifi was not functional during our stay. The TV also turned on repeatedly on its own accord, I'm guessing due to the IT issue!
Modern, clean room - spacious with view. Accommodated our dog. Staff very friendly accommodating. Breakfast options suitable for gluten intolerance
Conveniently located in city center Very friendly staff Clean Good value for money
Stayed many times, staff always very helpful and friendly. Bit disappointed on my return to hotel in the evening as there was no bar staff. Bar staff off sick and unable to cover shift, couldn’t even get a coffee as the member of staff I spoke to didn’t know how to work the machine! Water pressure in shower has always been poor!
A comfortable stay. Easy to get to and well located. Check in was easy. The room is well appointed. We will stay again.
Very good - highly recommend. Only stayed one night but would book again for sure
Great hotel for the money. Spotless and comfortable. Central too.
Great price, great location, terrible wifi
Staff are brilliant and supportive. Ewan went above and beyond to help me change rooms when I had trouble with the TV in my room. Rooms were clean and tidy. Great location to explore the city. Shower gets nice and hot and has good pressure.
We had another great stay at Motel One on Glasgow. This is our second visit and don't think we will go anywhere else now. Excellent rooms and spotless. Well done.
Constant noise from the karaoke bar and road works outside, floor was wet on arrival in my room which soaked my socks. Big long hair in my bed.
My third or fourth visit to Motel One, but unfortunately not my best one. On arrival room was extremely cold. AC very difficult to switch off or increase temperature. Television not working..
Overall the stay was ok. A system error meant check in took 30 minutes, and then the following day waiting for luggage in the same q as people checking in took longer than it should have. I would suggest there needs to be more reception staff available, and/or someone dealing with luggage. The room was ok, a little tired but overall comfortable. Wifi in the room didn't work which was frustrating as I had work to do and ended up hot spotting to my phone. The public areas of the hotel are lovely and have a lovely atmosphere.
Nice modern hotel very busy room clean and pretty basic checking in was a bit of a nightmare we are not very techno savvy found it difficult to check in even when three staff at counter could not book in without using internet if using again book before going in
Great service and so well priced!
Nice and clean. Right in the heart of city, with access to station and bus.
Fantastic location as we came by train. Supersize bed, spotlessly clean room, brilliant soundproofing that blocked out the central city entertainment during the night.

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.

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!
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!
