This is a great place to stay in Glasgow. Close to the train and metro stations, bus stops, bars and restaurants, grocery stores. The hotel spaces are nicely decorated and look modern. Our room was clean and fresh. We also enjoyed the good Wi-Fi reception. In the hotel's hall, there are a lot of spaces to sit and work (or relax).
Excellent location, clean room and comfy bed. Only negative was a long queue and wait at check-in.
It was amazing comfy bed clean quiet nice room only think I would say is our tv was very slow and wouldn’t turn on sometimes apart from that perfect!!!!
Had late check in until 2pm, some one came in room told them had late check in so they left and got a women from reception to come and bang on my door shouting I should be out room this was at 12.20pm. Reception wouldn’t even give me her name to complain as they told me there was no manager on site
What was great The organic hand/body/hair wash and fluffy towels. Speedy check in. Friendly helpful staff. What wasn’t so great One bottle of water to last three days? Come on! How about a refill station? What about those with health issues who need water to stay healthy? The extractor fan was so weak or not functioning that the bathroom smelt musty and the steam didn’t clear - had to leave the door wide open and open the windows. The room smelt of smelly socks when we initially entered the room. Not a nice welcome! We kept the windows open for the duration of our visit. The duvet was very light with no option of adding another layer. No oatmilk option for making tea/coffee. No body lotion. No way of contacting reception from the room easily. Would I stay with you again? No, especially not at that price. I fail to comprehend what I paid for for a hotel rated ‘excellent’. Not one but two disappointed guests.
Perfect! Absolutely no notes. Everything was spotless and I had two really good nights sleeps here
Limited staff on reception at check in time
Overall great hotel and location. The breakfast wasn’t worth the money in my opinion - a very basic continental with little choice.
Great stay in city centre location, hotel and staff are very welcoming.
clean tidy, friendly staff, excellent place to stay in glasgow
Lovely room, lovely hotel. Expensive breakfast though, but they all are for small women with small appetites, who subsidise large men with large appetites.
Friendly and helpful staff,especially Emma.Good facilities in the room,comfy bed great breakfast.
The reception team were polite and welcoming. The hotel was very clean, including the room, which was set up as 2 singles. When I checked in, I hopefully asked for a bag of ice for my knee. There was no hesitation from the receptionist, and he soon returned with a big bag of ice which helped enormously. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Motel One, and would definitely choose to stay again. Thank you for the good service.
Fantastic value for money. Great sized room Breakfast lets it down. Definitely not worth the extra price you probably should go across spoons across the road and get yourself a hot breakfast.
The hotel was nice with a great location. Reception area was beautiful, and room was clean, however some of the room amenities did not work. We could not get the heating to work and therefore our room was cold for the night. Additionally the smart television features did not work either. We could not get the TV onto the network, we couldn't use the apps and we couldn't cast our phones onto the TV on either.
The guy on check in was pleasant, on check out yesterday morning the girl wasn't that interested when I asked to check out. I was abruptly told "Just put your key card in the bowl" and she turned away to chat to colleagues. Not great I've stayed in several Motel One and Cloud One hotels - this is not the level of customer service I've come to expect
Great service, excellent room and central location.
All the staff were professional and friendly, it was very clean throughout the reception, hallways, lift and room. Beds and pillows were very comfy, and the temperature of the room was easily controlled. The food at breakfast was fresh and delicious with great dairy free options! Oksana, the staff member that cleaned our room did an excellent job! Great drinks at the bar at nighttime.
Very helpful team when I lost my phone and needed to make an urgent call.
Great, handy hotel we stay in each visit to Glasgow.
First time we had stayed in a Motel One. Staff were very helpful.if a bit harassed at times. Also bar wasn't set up for drinks and it was after 12.00. Otherwise it was a great experience. Loved the comfortable chairs on the ground floor. The room we were in had a fantastic view. The bed was lush. Very clean. We will be back.
We really enjoyed our stay.. spotless hotel.only one issue as with many hotels .only one chair in a twin room..
Clean, breakfast excellent everything is fresh and so on, location is wonderful thanks a lot
Have stayed here now 4/5 times and it is a great hotel. Its clean friendly and central to everything you need.
excellent service from reception staff i had an issue that they sorted straight away
The ongoing roadworks outside are an issue. Starting as early as 6:45am! Full on road drill blazing away at 7:45am! The hotel needs to address this with GCC?
Love the rooms , staff are very friendly and helpful
Lovely staff- so friendly and helpful. Very comfortable and spacious bed and clean room. Location so central and handy for Central Station.
The staff are always super helpful and polite, rooms are clean and beds are comfy. Prefer a proper cup for a tea/coffee in the room but everything else is great :)
Very pleased with our stay. Quick and easy check-in and friendly staff member on reception (which was also well staffed). We were in The Special One and I think we were on a floor that had recently been renovated - our room was lovely, spotlessly clean, and bed and pillows were comfy. Location of our room was perfect for being away from any outside noise and we were lucky not to hear a thing from other rooms/guests either - amazing to have such a quiet stay in such a central location. Stayed for a night during the heatwave - a test for any hotel in Scotland - so was prepared for the worst. However, the AC system, although not the strongest, cooled the room fairly quickly and thankfully stayed on when we went out, so it was a pleasant temp all night. Lovely spacious atrium which, along with the lifts and corridors, looked great and very clean (no signs of being tired). Didn’t spend much time in the hotel but would've been very happy to. Hotel felt secure with key cards needed for lift and entrance after a certain time & 24 hour reception. Sweets in reception were delicious too! Parking nearby was very convenient and very reasonable price with the hotel validating our ticket. Price was high even booking in advance but every hotel in Glasgow was stupidly extortionate due to concert at Hampden Park - picked MotelOne being more reasonably priced for the reviews/quality and I’m pleased I did.
Breakfast not included and not great anyway. Bedroom small but bed very comfortable.
Nice property in a great location. Clean rooms exactly as pictured online. Courteous and helpful staff. Large lobby area with a bar. Would have been nice to have a breakfast option but there were plenty of places to go within a few minutes walk.
Motel one is fine to stay in for a few nights. The rooms are very small, the decor is quite dated and the bathroom was very creaky but otherwise its fine to stay in. We paid a surge price due to events in the area, but i think at a standard rate this would be more of an acceptable stay. For over £200 a night this was not the quality of hotel i would expect.
I have stayed at hotels in similar several similar cities and I just felt this stay was not as good value.
We totally enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend your hotel to anyone and if we’re ever back to Glasgow we will be staying with ye thank you for everything
We loved your hotel, it was in a great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. I have scored a 7, due to our first night's stay, which was really disappointing. We were given a room on the first floor, which was unfortunately situated above a bar/nightclub. The music was so loud and went on until about 3am in the morning, so we got very little sleep. No one told us about this as we wouldn't have taken the room. We politely mentioned this the next morning and were offered another room for the next night. It was a bit of an inconvenience because we had to come back to the hotel after other guests had checked out, in order to get another room. So it sort of spoiled our day. The other room was alot better, we were given a nice room with a view. I think guests should be made aware of any noise issues in rooms as we came away for a relaxing weekend and with lack of sleep the first night and the inconvenience of having to return to the hotel part way through the next day to get a better room put a bit of a dampener on the stay. I think maybe an offer of another discounted stay would have been appreciated.
We were very impressed with everything about our stay. There was nothing you could have improved upon. Thank you.
Glasgow as a city has seen better days, so has this Motel One.
Very nice clean hotel friendly staff great location
Great location
Not bad at all
very enjoyable stay in Glasgow for one night. Staff were very friendly and efficient and the room clean and tidy.
Arrived at hotel a couple of hours before check in time and hotel very helpful in letting us leave our case in a secure luggage room while we went and had some lunch. Check in was quick and easy and reception were so cheerful and helpful . Room was clean and well maintained. Only downside was noise very early next morning from ongoing road work improvements , but hey it's a city centre and you expect noise , certainly did not spoil our stay . We came in after 10pm doors locked on Sunday night and were impressed when night porter checked with guest list to ensure who we actually were and had correct door key for our room . Totally felt safe and secure . Top marks to the porter . Check out was quick and simple and once again allowed to leave our luggage while we did last bits of shopping . Hotel in a great location for everything with rail station right opposite. Glasgow was amazing and we will definitely be back and use Motel one again . Thank you
Room is small but quite comfortable for a short stay. The staff on reception was great and the breakfast adequate. It would be got to have a small fridge in room and stronger conditioner.
Friendly & attentive staff on arrival. Lovely room with a great view.
Motel One was perfectly located right beside Glasgow Central station, as I needed to be away very early in the morning. The room rate was good, the room itself very comfortable and pleasantly furnished. The reception staff were excellent- helpful and attentive. I didn't have time to have breakfast nor did I use the lounge and bar, though those areas looked inviting and calm - and also felt comfortably cool on an extremely hot day.
On arrival at reception I was greeted in a friendly manner and made to feel welcome. Previously checked in I was given my bottle of water voucher and given my key card. Such an easy arrival process. My favourite hotel.
Great hotel, beautiful and stylish like all Motel Ones. The lobby is beautiful, the rooms are also, and also practical. The bed is very comfortable. No noise or anything disturbing. Great, friendly, efficient staff. Best location.
I am very positively surprised by the service level of motel one in Glasgow. Starting from the reception to every detail. The breakfast 🥞 was delicious: simple fresh scotish ingredients that I loved( jams...my favorites) Totally advised as the position is in the city center 100 m from the main railway station Very quite and safe
Quick and efficient check-in process. Quiet and comfortable room.

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!
