Stayed over in Glasgow for one night on a business trip and this hotel was great. The room was "compact", but well appointed and perfectly adequate for a short business stay. A better work-space in the room (i.e. desk and chair) would certainly have been beneficial though.
The hotel is lovely. Staff are great. Great value. Rooms are really nice. The only negative is the tvs do not work very well in the rooms. For example…. Tv guide does not load and channel 4 , amongst others never works. As somebody that stays weekly it’s quite frustrating
Great city centre hotel. Good value. Good service. Good location. Comfy bed. nice shower.
Great value great service great price etc
Excellent stay in Motel One in Glasgow Staff really friendly and helpful
Check-in was very efficient and friendly staff. Our room wasn't cleaned on the first day which was disappointing but the. reception staff brought us new towels but having no phone in the room I had to go to reception.
Great hotel, location is brilliant. Hotel staff were extremely helpful. The hotel bar was really nice too. Would definitely come back.
Very good value for money - lovely staff and the bar area is really nice to sit for a drink. Twelve o'clock check out all very good.
I have sent in an email but had no reply. The Television was not working and I was not told when booking or I would not have booked your hotel on this occasion. I was having a night away on my own to relax and watch tv ! Something I don’t have time to do in every day life. Surely you should pre warn your guests and not let them show up and find out ! Disaster for me so terrible stay !
Exceptional at this price point for business or leisure. I have stayed around 10 times over the last 12 months and every visit has been a pleasure. Extremely helpful if you call with a query ahead of a visit. It can be colder on the lower floors but staff try and accommodate me on the upper levels.
Best hotel in glasgow
Great hotel, only small issue was TV didn’t have many channels
Excellent location. Very friendly staff and clean room.
Everything very good staff and breakfast excellent. Pillows awful- one far too soft and one far too hard!!
Very friendly and clean.
Fantastic 3-night stay an all round great hotel beautiful and great value for money!
Central, clean, warm, pleasant staff and nice breakfast. An deal central city stay. Hot chocolate n the coffee machine would be appreciated. I prefer a wall mounted shower gel, with push button. Both minor points!
A truly brilliant city hotel on budget prices. Arriving by train for a city break it cannot be better located. We had a genuine welcome from smiling pleasant staff, who remained helpful, smiling and friendly throughout our stay. The rooms are well appointed. The breakfast buffet is amazing and generous. The bar is attractive and comfortable, whether in a group or single. All in all, I would look for Motel One in future city breaks, home or abroad.
Didn't sleep too well as kept falling in the 'gap' between the 2 beds which were together
I enjoyed my stay at Motel-one, From booking the room online to staying at the hotel, The price for me personally could have been a bit cheaper, The room was modern with a great bed, The reason I gave it an 8 out of 10 was because the shower head could have been better as the water pressure wasn't adequate enough for the shower, I also thought the carpet could have been doing with getting renewed, Apart from these things, The room was warm with a good heating system. Overall I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and I would recommend it as I would go back as the hotel had a nice relaxing atmosphere.
I have been staying at MotelOne in Glasgow for a number of years after trying many others and they are consistently great.
Comfortable room, good breakfast, great location in central Glasgow. Efficient check in and check out.
Tv was not working - only had access to 3 channels as well ad this no HDMI and smart tv features were out of order. Room was very cold and heating didnt seem to work. I need to buy a hot water bottle for the night.
This hotel was absolutely perfect for our stay. Ideally situated right beside Central Station, it made exploring the city incredibly convenient. The front-of-house staff were exceptionally welcoming, and even though we arrived earlier than expected, our room was ready. It was a huge relief to freshen up and drop off our belongings before heading out. The room itself was excellent for the price we paid—comfortable and well-appointed. While the décor showed a little age, the room would benefit from new flooring it didn’t detract from the overall value or experience. The lobby was stunning, with a stylish, boutique feel that reminded us of a chic hotel we stayed at in Barcelona. Overall, this hotel offers incredible value for money, warm hospitality, and a fantastic location.
From the minute we walked in we felt very welcome. The staff were very friendly & accommodating. We were travelling with a toddler & they made him up his own little sofa bed. He is quite a hyper & loud child, and no-one seemed to care about that(no judgement!). The hotel lobby was very clean & tidy. Rooms were gleaming, not a speck of dust anywhere. We were only planning to stay one night and ended up staying for 2, loved it. I even signed up to be a Motel One member!! Will definitely be back!
Fantastic location for exploring Glasgow. Within walking distance of mainline railway station, car parking and airport bus services. The motel is modern, very clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent and helpful. Would definitely stay again when I'm in the city.
Handy for transport
Thanks to your whole team. Stay was great and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Planning a return trip and stay already. We'll done
First time staying at your hotel. Was a present from son & daughter in law. Great place to stay. Clean & noise free room.
Very nice hotel, friendly staff, perfect location.
Great comfortable hotel, friendly staff, great bar and brilliant location. Excellent value for money
Hotel was fantastic, very conveniently placed in the city, and the room was wonderful! Only complaints would be not having an ice machine or water fountain anywhere on the floor, but that’s a minor issue.
We arrived prior to our booking. The gentle took our bags and we were given tickets. He then advised that we couldn’t check in but he would assist with this. When we arrived back at midnight we were told that we had not been booked in. This caused us to have a restless night as we were placed in a room near to a nightclub. The lady who we spoke to was really good and apologized but I was really disappointed.
Very good overall, comfy, clean and great value for money. Only small things....the rooms were quite tight with such a big (comfy as) bed....so there's no need for 2 tables and a big chair on top as it became a bit cramped. The small table with kettle would have been ideal and maybe something to put suitcases on. Shower room, with design of shower base, very difficult not to soak the bathroom floor. Breakfast was great....missing some bacon.
It was a great stat, Thank you so much for letting us check in early
Great hotel! The location was convenient to everything. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Highly recommend!
Lovely hotel xx
Lovely stay cheap clean functional and decor downstairs is amazing
absolutely fantastic hotel definitely staying ere everytime we come glasgow
Hotel was great, bar was very pricy however. WiFi didn’t work in our room, and our tv was set in Spanish once we changed that only about 2 English channels worked. However beds were comfy, clean and staff were friendly
Lovely staff, beautiful hotel, very comfy beds amd super reasonable prices 😀
Great hotel in a central location, lovely clean room with plenty of space but breakfast was disappointing as a full English breakfast was not on offer.
Staff great,cosy,comfy lounge
Great location. Hotel is modern and the rooms are very comfortable Excellent value for money
Lovely hotel and staff had a nice stay, was kindly upgraded to a superior suite on the 12th floor which was nice, however it was very very warm and the air con did not seem to work, it wasn’t until late in the night we realised and there was no phone to call reception and we didn’t want to have to travel down and complain as it was only one night stay so would have been pointless moving. However other than that had a great time, lovely view and hotel :)
Dog friendly hotel.......spent hogmanay
Dog friendly hotel.......spent hogmanay
The location of the place is great, bed was comfortable and room was spacious.
Excellent all round, from staff to value for money. Would definitely visit again.
This is our second time staying in a motel one. Excellent experience. Rooms nice and big clean. Central location. Deducted a point as the pillows weren't super comfy but could be personal taste. All the staff where polite upbeat and helpful. I am dairy intolerant but was so happy to see lots of dairy free choices at breakfast. Would highly recommend.

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.

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!
Railway Romance meets design
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!
