Had a great stay here. Lovely clean and comfortable room, friendly and very helpful staff. Nice bar too. Will definitely stay again.
The first time my visit was not a 10. One of the main reasons I love about staying here is that you don’t hear a single sound however that wasn’t the case this time. Not sure if more of us were put beside each other than is the norm or if our neighbours were just very noisy. We also had a false alarm fire alarm, not the hotels fault but did impact our stay. Everything else spot on as usual.
Great location. Room ok. Breakfast a disaster. When booking, it wasn't made clear breakfast was Continental. Dining area was cramped and haphazardly set out. Berries for my yogurt were still frozen hard. Toast machine not working properly. No artificial sweetener.
Especially impressed with the help and attention from the front desk! Went above and beyond! Everything else was very good.
As always easy check in, friendly staff and a great location.
Perfect location right in the city centre! Rooms were spotless and very quiet, not too big but comfortable enough. Breakfast was good, though a bit warm in the breakfast area. The welcome and hospitality were absolutely top-notch really made the stay special. Highly recommend!
Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient.
We loved it. Beautiful decor, comfortable beds, comfortable seating, a good bar. Unfortunately during our stay the building was evacuated twice, but this was dealt with in an efficient manner by staff. The only criticism on the furnishings was a chair in the bar with a split seam on the arm. In all we had a great stay and will Motel One again.
Very nice clean hotel friendly staff.
Exceptionally clean hotel. Very well laid out and location is excellent
Everything was excellent.
Excellent service and room.
As Booking. Com Review
Great location, lovely room and nice staff
Great location, comfortable bed and complete blackout curtains,got in early and a late checkout
Really good value for money, staff very friendly and helpful and a fantastic location. Room was small but had everything you needed and reception was lovely and bright.
Twice in our one night stay the fire alarm went off. No one appeared to visit the refuge points. The first time we were told we could go back in then told we had to go out again. There were no blankets for people without coats. The lady on reception was really nice the first time and knew how to deal with a tired customer. The bathroom sink drained very slow. The bed was Super comfy The pastries at breakfast were overdone to nearly burnt.
We didn’t use the lounge/bar during our stay or WiFi as the 5G coverage was very good. The room was as excepted 10-03, but as it was overlooked by other rooms we felt our privacy was compromised so kept curtains closed in early evenings. Lovely staff wherever we encountered them always helpful. We had to leave before the breakfast was served on our last day but were given a paper bag to fill from the buffet for our journey. An option to have a take away breakfast would have been nice. Would definitely stay at Motel One again.
I’ve stayed here a few times because the hotel is in a central location and is of a high standard.It is competitively priced and as a one member there’s also a 10% reduction which is worth having. The rooms are comfortable and provide good quality hand wash and shower gel that smell lovely too. This has been another enjoyable stay.
Great location easy access to everything , staff very friendly and kind !
Love the Hotel.
Very nice clean hotel however was quite disappointed with the lack of tv channels/ music stations on the tv and the fact there wasn’t even a bin in the room.
I enjoyed my quiet room high above the traffic noise and with a view. Organic soaps and tea appreciated, although now just black tea and no green and herbal any more. Bed very comfy. Reception extremely helpful and friendly with my queries. Bar not overpriced. Breakfast lovely but too expensive for what it is.
Great hotel
everything was great !
Reception staff super helpful, informed us of the nightclub out back and asked if we wanted moved away from it before even being given a room. We where going to be out anyway so the noise really didn't bother us. Was clean and comfortable enough.
The rooms are clean and comfortable. The amenities exceeded my expectations.
Excellent location at a reasonable price wins every time. Very clean well equipped rooms will all you need.
We recently stayed at Motel One in Glasgow. The staff were very friendly and we received good service. The room was lovely and clean. The hotel itself was in a great location and I would have visited the bar without being attached to the hotel.
Excellent service. Efficient friendly staff . Room very comfortable toi
Beautiful clean hotel with lovely modern rooms with large walkin shower. Right in the city centre with Glasgow Central across the road. It is a continental buffet breakfast so no hot food but a good choice. Lovely bar area to sit and relax.
As ever had a relaxing stay in Glasgow. After a stressful six months, just what I needed!
We love that we can count on consistency with Motel One. The beds are comfy, linens are good quality and pillows were best in our trip. Location is always excellent in the 3 cities we stayed at Motel One.
Fantastic hotel. Brave with the decor but they’ve pulled it off and it looks fantastic. Great front desk service the guy who greeted me on Wednesday night (10pm) was extremely helpful and offered to provide places to visit to see or eat from when he heard it was my first time in Glasgow. All the staff were helpful. Good breakfast selection.
Lovely hotel in good location only complaint reception told us the bar was open till 2am last orders 1:30am arriving at1:10am the bartender said he was closed as he had had a busy day on his own couldn’t pour two glasses of wine disappointed
I had an accessible room which was very good, it had everything I needed including a kettle I could reach, that doesn’t happen very often when I stay at hotels!
Everything is genuinely really great, really easy, really clean... but WHY ARE THE PILLOWS THAT SHAPE!?
Rooms are to hot and air conditioning hits you in bed so can't use it during the night. Black walls aren't very welcoming
Great room, great location, great price
Great location, room very comfy with all the necessities, and the staff was welcoming and accommodating. We had a wonderful stay, and we enjoyed everything from breakfast to the quiet of our room. Will come back again for sure !
Easy check in. Clean well appointed room. Good bar service.
The room wasn't made up for a child. We waited just 15mins for this to be sorted. Everything else was great.
Hotel was convenient,clean and staff helpful. Room very pleasant. Area a little rough but motel felt secure. Breakfast a little expensive.
for check in to check out , hotel and staff where excellent
Great location, friendly staff, clean and quiet room A queue at check in + a few computer/payment problems but dealt with quickly. The aircon in the room wasn't working (so I'm glad the window could be opened) and the tv kept turning itself off
Great friendly staff room was good and had an excellent stay
The bed was comfy and i kept the fire on the telly all night, was unreal chore
Great hotel at a reasonable price in a good location. Staff were friendly and efficient.
Motel one is in a great location, good value for money and very comfortable. Rooms are small but well appointed and I really enjoyed my stay here.
Great stay we had nice room with a view over the city , for me and my wife ,only fault we had .no plug in the sink, complete waste of water.

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!
