Clean room. Top location next to Glasgow C
Location was perfect for work once I had navigated the roadworks on the pavement outside the hotel. A plug beside the mirror would be practical when drying my hair, as now have a crink in my neck trying to stretch the hairdryer towards the mirror, really bad planning on this one!
Brilliant hotel cleanliness location and staff
Great clean ,value,and very polite and professional staff
It was not a good experience staying there. There wasn’t even water provided for drinking purposes. No tooth paste and soap. Only one liquid soap for face, shampoo and body. Breakfast didn’t have omelette. Pathetic over all.
Beds are so comfy
Poor breakfast options Despite that was cold outside their AC system was not able to provide heat and more importantly the fan was not able to be shut off!!! So we were sleeping with our jackets! The epic answer from their front desk was that it's not winter cold, it's spring cold and so it is. For the record the temperature was < 10 at night. And as a final comment there was no phone to call from room the reception!!! I had to use my mobile to ask them close the AC!
The location was ideal, rest the facilities were very much below average.
I was very cold at your hotel; your air conditioning wasn't working, and when I asked, they said the entire hotel's air conditioning system was broken. Now I have pneumonia and am receiving treatment. I hope you will take people's health more seriously. We left the hotel at 3:30 AM, and when we asked the reception staff if they could prepare sandwiches instead of breakfast, they absolutely refused. However, they gave sandwiches to those who checked in at the same time as us.
Nice enough hotel in a good location. I paid £132 for a room for myself for one night, & for that I expected maybe a little more. Very basic & minimal toiletries in the bathroom, the coffee available was unpleasant, & I objected to plastic cups to drink hot beverages from. No glasses in the bathroom. The room was clean though, the bed was comfortable, & the staff i interacted with were all pleasant.
Lovely spacious rooms, modern. very friendly staff and great location.
Friendly staff, fairly clean rooms (just a load of cobwebs on the ceiling), good location.
Appreciate having person at door checking people going in and out of hotel. The extra security especially in evenings was reassuring! Only thing wished breakfast buffet had a bit more variety. Maybe helpful to have microwave to heat make food warm if required.
I've stayed here a few times,one of the best places to stay,great room,massive bed,nice n quiet.
Rooms way too cold for me. Took until I checked out to get used to the temperature. Staff and team excellent, very good service. Beds not comfortable due to two singles that are not joined together well. Room was way too small for the rate and area. Breakfast not as good as last time, a number of items had been taken off the buffet.
Hotel staff were excellent and very helpful. Only issue was room was too hot and no way of adjusting it other than opening window but so noisy outside this was not an option. Ridiculous system for a moder building!
Always a fantastic stay, my first choice EVERY time for business or leisure. Rooms always spotless and staff are always so very happy and helpful
Lovely check in staff. Awful area. Room so so. VERY expensive for what I got
Excellent location
All okay but breakfasts were a bit chaotic and items were not refilled, especially on the Monday.
Really good, with very friendly and helpful staff!! The main downside isn’t the hotel itself, but its location, which can be a bit noisy at night. Additionally, the room temperature cannot be adjusted, so it can feel too cold or too warm at different times of the day.
Good location, good value for money, rooms clean and hosting great view of city. Overall very satisfied with my stay.
The room was very depressing and small and felt a little like a prison cell. It was very small as little room to move around the bed. The room was also very cold and there was no impact from touching the unit on the wall. There was also no iron and the quilt was too thin. A woman also walked into my room from housekeeping witholut knocking
Location was nice because it was walkable to downtown. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.
Staff are very friendly and helpful . Location is central .
The atmosphere was modern and welcoming. Easy to navigate and I really appreciated that there are 3 lifts and that they are fast. The staff were all straight to the point, quick and were friendly. Wehn needed help, the staff had no hesitations and were very quick to help out. The bar was reasonably priced, the mood of the bar was enjoyable and relaxing, with security being present, it made the stay feel safe and secure. The location of the motel is absolutely brilliant, being so close to the high streets, train station and the subway only a short walk is definitely a big perk. I loved the mini pastries, the juice and meats at breakfast but the other hand, the breakfast could use improvement, I understand that hotel does not have a traditional kitchen for hot meals but for the price, there could definitely be more options for additional foods. I enjoyed the bread and pastries but they could definitely be restocked faster than they were. The hotel room door was a little shaken whenever other guests would use their door, even if the door is closed shut and locked, other guests using the doors would seemingly cause some sort of atmospheric pressure change in the corridors making the door shake a little. It would be a nice thing to fix or improve, maybe ensuring all the door are tightened so it does not disrupt when guests sleep. Also, the heater/fan in the wall was not working in the room 8.47 making the room cold at times or too hot, and the window was not always a good substitute due to weather changes outside.
Great location, friendly staff. As always the breakfast/ dining area is too cramp to attract.
Ideal location for a stopover before moving on. Very central and only yards from main line Central rail station and Bars and Restaurants. Very comfortable room, well appointed. All in all an ideal location.
Love this hotel. It’s in a perfect location for everything in Glasgow. Always feel safe here.
Great hotel ,lovely staff ,water pressure in shower could have been better.
Warm welcome at reception (Erica). Early check in provided. Clean room/functional layout.
Always a great place to stay. Location is great. Staff very friendly, can’t fault it.
Amazing night. Facilities immaculate. Bed comfortable. Staff friendly and accommodating
We are regulars at this hotel. Excellent standards of cleanliness throughout. Friendly staff. That's why we keep coming back. You need to offer a discounted rate to repeat visitors though.
Hospitality is very nice, thanks for hosting me. Only breakfast is very minimum option while options are delicious
The room was quite small, so adequate for a night or two at the most but not a week. The location is not great at all, quite unsafe and not pleasant. The fact that the cups were plastic is not great poor value.
Nice location, friendly staff, great that umbrellas were available. Everything was spotlessly clean, and all aspects were easy.
Beautiful hotel and great customer service. Will definitely book again.
Receptionist was lovely very pleasant arrival, hotel was really busy but we didn’t feel rushed. The room was nice clean and spacious we had a lovely view over Glasgow from our window.
Great hotel and staff are always welcoming and friendly and no answers say how can I help
Lovely hotel in a good location. Bed comfy and very clean large size room which was quiet too . Staff so friendly and accommodating. Stayed here numerous times now and would definitely stay here again.
The staff were very friendly. Perfect for cyclists: We booked an 'accessible room', which was so spacious that we could take our bicycles into the room.
Room tired looking and was not totally clean hair in toilet bowl and dirt around bedroom
As always, a perfect stay. Clean, friendly staff and a perfect location.
Every time I stay in a city that has a Motel One, it's my accomodation of choice. The brand is consistent across all locations. Amazing attentive check in staff and immaculate receptions. Rooms are always perfectly clean. The beds are the comfiest I've ever slept in and everything is just high quality. The Glasgow hotel is one of my favourites and feels like returning to a well known friends when staying. My room was fresh and welcoming on this visit and the reception staff couldn't have done more for me.
we had to wait quite some time till room was ready.However everything else was excellent and look forward to another stay
I booked this room for a friend that was staying and he had a great stay. We both drank at the hotel bar and the staff were polite and friendly, as they were at reception. He had a great sleep that evening and the room was clean and tidy, with sufficient space.
Lovely staff. Really happy with my room. Great stay.x coming back.
Great location next to the central station. Great decor in the lounge. With varied spots to work or just relax. Staff friendly and informative.

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!
