I’ve stayed at the hotel in Glasgow pretty much every week for almost 2 years - the staff turnover recently has been been very high - I had a full knee replacement a few months ago and you normally put me in an assistance room as it’s easier for me / refused this week - not the room type I booked No loyalty and no real customer care
Great location next to Central Railway Station. Easy access to city centre.
Consistently good
Convenient location and good hotel. Bar area is lovely
Great motel (hotel?) right in a centre of Glasgow. Unbeatable price and could bring a dog for £15 fee.
Loved the room, seriously comfy bed. Abrupt staff in the bar, bordering on rude, which is not what we usually get from Motel One.
The room, location and staff were great.
Everything was fine. I appreciated the clean room even if small, helpful staff, and nice shower head. I just want to comment that I booked a city view, it was a decision making point for me. There was a photograph online and I was looking forward to looking out across the city of Glasgow. However my view was entirely blocked by the office building next door. I wouldn't have a problem with that if I didn't book a city view and then confirmed at the desk that I was being given a city view. I would recommend taking room 808 off the list of rooms with a "city view" I would have rather paid less and not gotten a city view at that point.
Was great,however ,I enjoy a cooked breakfast as well ,maybe something to think about on the future .It would also given yhat the t.v 's are smart that access to netflix,prime, would be good. Would not cost hotel anything as everyone has own accounts for these apps Remote controls also need replaced ,with so much use buttons do not work well require real effort .
Polite staff at reception. I was given a room upgrade which was appreciated. Good nights sleep. Good shower
The front desk staff were courteous and helpful. Name tags should be worn. 2 faults I would give the room …. It was very small. No room to get around the bed; it was claustrophobic. When I examined the sheets, below the mattress pad were long black hairs at both the top and bottom of the mattress. That was off putting.
Very friendly welcome. Lovely roomon 10th floor. Nice breakfast. Unique atmosphere. I love the sheep.
Strategic location
A returning guest for I think the 5th time, says it all really!
All good apart from struggle to get into the room with the card. Until a passer by guest came along! More info guidance needed.
Nice staff, easy to find, very good position (close to the Central station).
Stayed 1 night . Didn't have any food or breakfast. TV was broken and couldn't be replaced. The bed was a double bed which was 2 single beds put together so the centre of the bed was too uncomfortable to sleep on .
It was a nice entrance lobby and bar area. The actual Check-in felt a bit confusing, with a form to fill in, and the person on the desk speaking so fast so I was feeling a bit stressed with that. Room qas lovely, except for the stsange painting/picture above the bed of the girl on the train, hiding her face behind wheatgrass. It was a bit creepy to be honest, not an art piece we would choose for a bedroom. Other than that, everything else was fine.
Staff friendly, room spotless and a relaxing bar
Motel One provides everything you need to make your stay so very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this wonderful homely hotel.
I had a very pleasant two-night stay. The room was clean, modern and comfortable. The room was compact, but for a short city break it was perfectly adequate and well designed. The location is excellent, right beside Central Station and within easy walking distance of the city centre, shops, restaurants and attractions. It made getting around incredibly convenient, especially with the station so close by. Overall, a comfortable, clean and well-located hotel, with friendly service and everything I needed for a two-night stay. I'd happily stay again.
Quick check in. clean, functional room yet very small for 2 adults. Hotel is very good decorative order / shape.
At 1.15am someone unlocked our door and switched on the light. We awoke and sat up as the light went on and a small dark haired woman said sorry and left. The door had been shut and latched so we do not understand how anyone could have unlocked it unless they had a master key. We spoke to a Receptionist the next morning. She was understanding and apologetic.
We always stay at Motel One in Glasgow. Upon arrival, Megan noticed that I need a walking stick, and immediately gave us an accessible room. The room was really big, and, very easy for me to move around. Megan is a star and a really valuable asset to your team
Very helpful staff
Air conditioning didn't work in our room. So it was too hot on the night of the 28th. My friends on floor 9 worked fine in fact if anything it was too cold initially and he needed to turn the fans down. Rubbish nights sleep. Phoned reception at 03:30 he said he's bring a fan up and he didn't!
Another lovely stay for a concert.My only complaint was near our room ( 428) there seemed to a ? water pipe that made a constant noise ,so my sleep was disturbed.
Happy vibe. Clean and organized. Quiet room. Slept well! Great location.
Service was excellent and room clean, comfy
One of the cleanest room and bathroom I have ever stayed in. Room was on the smaller side, but had everything I needed, even a kettle with tea and coffee.
A mini fridge would have been welcome. The room key was rather a hassle, had to try multiple times
Always a pleasure to visit.
It's always relaxing when dealing with your company, all the way from making a booking until the time I leave - keep up the great servcie!
Good room with a great view of the city, clean, had everything I needed but smelt slightly of something antisceptic. Friendly, helpful staff, very good breakfast and a cheese toastie from the bar around midnight was also very welcome!
One of the best hotels ive stayed in, room was fantastic with free WiFi and walk in shower is great to. Ncp car park next-door and is discounted by the hotel. The bonus for me is that when it was getting built I fitted out the lift interiors so was great to see them again.
Very good, clean and well located
Hotel contemporaneo
Room was really small for the price we paid . Air con didn’t seem to work so to cool the room down we had to keep the window over the railway station open all night
The stay was like expected in a relatively small but neat room. What we got really annoyed with was the fire alarm. Twice in two days…what’s wrong?
Check-in was really smooth. Room was clean and facilities were good. We had an issue on the first evening we were there with the electricity ceasing to work in our room and the young lady from reception could not have been more helpful in her efforts to rectify the situation.
Perfect stay. Good room, good breakfast, central location
A very nice stay at MotelOne Glasgow! The team was superb, the room was clean and comfy for our two-nights stand. The bed was great and we slept very well! We recommend this place for those who want to be next to the beautiful Central Station. The hotel's location is very good. The rooms are even better when high because our view was special. Special mention to the receptionnists who are very kind, trying to help as much as they can to make our stay perfect. Thank you to the MotelOne members, and see you someday!
Wonderful location, quiet comfortable rooms, and very friendly and helpful staff, especially their willingness to store luggage for guests pending check-in. I didn't use the lounge and bar, so I left that question blank.
Great hotel, great location, wonderful staff
Very attentive reception team! Helpful every time.
Lovely downstairs area, very friendly staff, great service. Rooms are fairly small and basic but had everything I needed. I was staying alone, might have liked a bit more space if I was sharing with my husband but perfect for my stay after a works awards do
Good, the room does lact a couple of items I would expect for the price. There is a bin in the bathroom but one in the room would be handy. Also a small fridge would be good seen as we going through a heatwave. The pipes in the room are noisy.
5 minutes from Glasgow Central station. Super comfy bed. Good value for money.
Great central location. Friendly and helpful staff.
Welcoming and hospitable service . Very comfortable room and staff were very helpful .

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.
