Really lovely staff that work there and made my stay as good as it could get. The room was a really good size for the few days I stayed and was very clean the hotel itself was amazing and really had a calming vibe. I ha e recommended this hotel to others who have had positive experiences.
A very nice hotel, let down by being stifling hot in the both the room and breakfast area. The room was so hot it was like sleeping in a heatwave and as helpful as the staff were, they explained there was no way to make it any cooler other than offering me a fan.
Great hotel, great staff, great rooms, great breakfast. Perfect
Great locatiion,comfy beds,modern rooms,100 percent perfect
The plumbing System could do with an Update. When you wash your hands or take a shower, the continuous piping sounds wakes the other person in the room. Else, we enjoyed our stay.
Great stay only one problem there is no water machine at reception at night when returning back a little late
Hi we enjoyed our stay but felt like the staff looked there nose down on us after we spent a lot of money booking the hotel with the dog fee each night also.We spent a lot in your bar the past few nights but the last night was really bad.the security questioned if a stayed in the hotel when a clearly had my card and due to this I did get very upset by it.We then Went to the bar to get a coffee and my partner wanted a beer and we got refused but what a did.mt get was this guy who was in the bar the night before shouting & swearing at the bar staff got Served still but we don’t.We felt like we were looked down on because my partner had his work clothes on .its very unprofessional service & we love coming to your hotel but this isn’t the first time this has happened with my partner because he had work clothes on he’s been refused.its not right or fair
Love this hotel. The staff are great. It’s lovely and clean and the design of the fixtures and fittings are just lovely. The only criticism is that the temperature in the bedrooms is ridiculously hot. Slightly unbearable even in October
Good location near shops,pubs and restaurants,the Hydro in walking distance.Breakfast very good value,great choice.Staff are friendly.
The room was spotless as always , the staff were amazing as always , a bit of an inconvenience having a power cut right as we were getting ready to go for dinner but this was a grid fault and not a hotel fault, the only gripe I have is that we again didn’t receive our free bottle of water that’s so plainly advertised
Good location and good value
I was so delighted to speak with a live person (Emma, I believe) o the phone who answered my questions and made the reservations. Not only do I dislike the impersonal nature of the computer system, but because I wanted to book two rooms (a friend from Germany joined us fora few days) the machine just could not handle that. We found the rooms to be clean and neat. I would have liked another bottle of water (a carton was supplied when needed in Ireland) and a wash cloth! The front desk staff were very helpful in directing us to the bus and to good eateries; they were patient answering our questions and friendly rather than just business-like. The motel breakfast was certainly adequate but seemed a bit pricy. Our friend has stayed at Motel One o the continent and has had positive experiences. thank you for your help
The only down side was the street noise. If you're the type to sleep with earplugs or headphones on it then you're good to go. It wasn't 'rowdy', just people having a good time. Comfortable bed/temperature, very clean, lovely staff. I didn't use the lobby bar but people seemed to be enjoying it and there are lots of take-out/fast food options as well as groceries. It is just a block up from the start of Argyll street...shopping, bars and eating. Very convenient to Central station and just a short walk to Queen Street and Buchanan street bus station. A very good place to stay if you don't have a car.
Stayed many times here, my go to hotel in the city. The rooms are spotless, and always lovely showers with plenty hot water. The staff are always happy to help with any queries, and are pleasant and mannerly, back again soon.
great stay
Motel One room very comfortable clean and quiet. Disappointed no snacks like sandwitches available when checked in C20.00. Not very good.
Great hotel friendly staff clean and comfy and close to all amenities
This hotel was perfect for our stay. It was a great location right next to Glasgow Central train station. The lobby was really nice and the bartenders and front desk staff were very helpful and friendly! I would definitely choose it again next time I'm in Glasgow!
A good hotel in a great location
The absence of refrigerator/microwave in the room coupled with a lack of food service in the bar is limiting. I would not stay here again for those reasons.
The hotel is very good value for a basic, decent, comfortable room. The breakfast was good continental. I was lucky a room was available on arrival though it was morning. The reception lady was very friendly, pleasant, and accommodating. Location was very central.
The location was close to nice restaurants and bus systems. They serve a very nice breakfast and a nice bar. The only issue we had was parking was not on site but down the street. There is also a special pedestrian entrance which is further down that should be pointed out. The hotel will comp the cost so it does work out. The rooms are nice and we had one with a great view.
Positiv: Nettes Zimmer, bequemes Bett, sogar ein Wasserkocher war vorhanden. Negativ: TV Programms (e.g. Channel 4) is rarely working, Shower was super loud (not standard in other Motel One hotels), Towels are small
Great location, nice decor, good welcome. Rooms small and basic but comfortable. Only issue was I reported a maintenance issue which was not rectified
Wonderful stay, clean, quiet, friendly, efficient, and hassle-free. Would stay again without hesitation.
Excellent hotel, friendly staff and great location, right next to the train station, next time we go to Glasgow week would definitely say here again
We had a great stay at Motel One. The staff are friendly and helpful, the common areas including the bar are stylish but comfortable. The rooms are well appointed for their price point, the bed is comfy and the discounted parking a major bonus. Good location right next door to Glasgow's Central Station. My only suggested improvement is better coffee at breakfast.
What a lovely place to stay in Glasgow for our last night before flying out. We arrived on train and the location couldn't be better - a mere 1-2 minute walk from the station. Check-in was a breeze, our room was wonderful and the entire ambience of the place made me wish we had more time to stay. Will definitely re-book.
The entrance was littered with rubbish and cigarette ends on arrival. I found this really offputting. Room was small but adequate. Expensive.
Nice little hotel in the center of Glasgow. Comfy clean room for a great price. Loved the bar and staff. Thank you for a pleasant stay.
Really nice room and excellent location. Also, liked the bar and lobby area. Staff were great. It was excellent value for money. Would definitely stay again and recomend.
Great hotel clean and tidy good location to get to places would like a bin in the bedroom when we stayed they did run out of some drinks at the bar but that could’ve been because the Scotland match was on great stay
As always returning to Motel One is a fantastic experience. The staff at Motel One Glasgow were so professional and efficient. Nothing is a problem. Thanks once again for making our stay so memorable
Very nice Will return
Excellent facilities, location , extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff
Found the staff to be very helpful but the room far too warm ,air con did not seem to work, opened the windows but then found the noise outside was deafening, so all in all not a very nice experience.
Superb hotel. Stayed here regularly. Great value. Highly standards in every area. Lovely staff.
Really good. Staff couldnt do enough for my partner and myself.
Disappointed that there wasn’t any air conditioning Location was excellent No still water at the bar to redeem my voucher and a bit disappointed that it was for 1 bottle when there was 2 of us staying
Great hotel, clean , great views
Great location with great staff
I really don’t like to make any type of complaint but I have to be totally honest we were really disappointed with our stay we where in room 9-45 and for £187.80 we where really disappointed the room its self felt very chostraphobic it was really quiet small We arrived at the room after a lengthy check in as there must of been at least 15-20 people checking it at the same time when we arrived only one member of staff was present to check people in before a second member of staff arrived We went to the room dropped our bags and went out for the night when we returned our room was really hot and we then found the air con did not work so we opened the window to let some air circulate but at around 10:30/11pm the night club that we backed straight onto opened and the noise was unbearable so we had to close the window so that we could actual hear each other speak. We had to continue to open and close the window numerous times throughout the night due to the heat and the noise we were then woken extremely early by the noise from the same clubs bottle bins being emptied. The tv signal was not brilliant either so we where not able to properly watch this either We paid £13 each for breakfast and yes the website said it is a continental breakfast however the choice of food was very poor to say the least and we arrived for breakfast at 7:30am we would of spoken to a member of staff on check out but again only one member of staff was present and they where already dealing with a complaint from another member of the public This is the first time we used this hotel due to its location we had high hopes but we where really let down.
Clean and new. Warm and comfortable. The Staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely book again. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.
My room was one third smaller this time from my stay on 14 & 15 March, and the twin-room scenario did not work for me, as I had feared (and been warned) to be fair. I did notice an improvement in the coffee cups although I will still bring my own.
Great hotel, friendly staff, lovely roms and so handy for the train staton!
Excellent location, easy to drive to when arriving at the city, right by the train station, very close to NCP car park and significant discount on parking given by hotel, and over the road from a Wetherspoons for breakfast. Also the room was very quiet which I was happily surprised about given it was a Saturday night and judging by the queue to check in the room was very busy. The room was a weird layout. Big comfy chair in the entrance way which was just in the way, blocking the bathroom door and making it awkward to walk round the bed, plus no one would ever want to sit there as it was nowhere near the window and you couldn’t see the TV from there. Desk with chair, but no mirror there, so who would want to sit there? Big floor length mirror in the entrance way, but no lights in that section and very dark due to being behind a wall from where the window is, so where are you supposed to get ready? The bathroom door was really squeaky which was annoying, especially if the bathroom was used in the night, woke up the other person. Didn’t like the plastic cups and the room wasn’t very clean. Visible dirt (bits, fluff, etc) on the carpet, and dusty surfaces. Bar supposed to be open till 2am, but they called last orders just after 12 due to having “no stock and no glasses” ?! Would I stay again? If other places were full, or if this place was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than places in the surrounding area, but I wouldn’t by choice. Stayed in many MotelOne’s and this was by far the worst of them,
This is a great hotel, clean and quiet, an oasis of calm in a busy city centre. The contrast between the friendly efficient hotel and the craziness of Glasgow on a Saturday night is astounding.
Good room, excellent location, great value and lovely staff.
Thank your staff for always being lovely, your hotel always being clean and so central to everything i.e. transport,shops etc.
Perfect for a one night stay.
Switch on. beOne.

A centre of music and design on the Clyde

Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city, and a popular destination for European tourists, attracted principally by its numerous museums, galleries, shops and pubs. The name of the city comes from the Gaelic and means “Green Hollow”: still, thanks to the city’s extensive greenery and parks, an entirely fitting appellation. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?
Budget Design Hotels in Glasgow – your Motel One
Glasgow’s image is largely determined by its music and arts scenes. The city is regarded as a centre of alternative music, and has produced many internationally famous artist such as Amy Macdonald, Snow Patrol and Franz Ferdinand. A wealth of music venues and art galleries make Glasgow Scotland’s cultural capital.
There is just as much to appeal to history and architecture enthusiasts. Not far from our hotel, George Square hosts statues of famous people with a link to Scotland such as James Watt and Robert Burns. This central square is in turn close to Queen Street central station, and is the very heart of the city. It is also where you can find more information about cultural events, and book tickets for sights and performances.
Following along Cathedral Street brings you in minutes to Glasgow Cathedral, the oldest and largest church in the city, a superb example of Scottish Gothic architecture regarded as an outstanding architectural achievement. With its pointed crossing tower it makes a striking feature of Glasgow’s skyline.
Glasgow Tower, River Clyde and Gallery of Modern Art
The Glasgow Tower, an even more prominent landmark on the south bank of the Clyde, is the highest building in Scotland, ascending 127 metres high. The whole tower has an aerofoil shape and can rotate through a full circle; it’s regarded as a masterpiece of engineering and construction.
The River Clyde runs past the foot of the tower and not far from our affordable hotel. At night, its skilfully illuminated bridges make for a great photo.
Any fan of modern art will make a beeline for the Gallery of Modern Art which has permanent and temporary exhibitions on various themes, and in contrast to most of its peers, shows mainly works by living artists.
Come to our Motel One to make the most of this centre of music and design on the Clyde – We and the city are waiting to welcome you.
