Expert reviews
“Motel One stacks simple, clean and well-appointed rooms in a budget tower slap-bang in the city center, next to Glasgow Central railway station.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Glasgow.
“A budget hotel by German chain Motel One with a subtle railway theme and contemporary design. The handy location adjacent to Glasgow Central Station makes it an ideal base for a city break or pit stop en route to other parts of Scotland.”

All you need to know
If you stay at Motel One Glasgow, you’ll get a really convenient city-centre base. It’s right by Glasgow Central Station (so trains or the airport bus are super easy to reach) and just a short stroll from shopping streets, historic sights, museums and the general buzz of downtown Glasgow.
The vibe inside is fresh and modern: the rooms and common areas are designed with a subtle nod to rail and industrial history (think train-station aesthetics, wire-flow lights, and tasteful décor inspired by Glasgow’s heritage), which gives the place some charm while still staying relaxed and functional.
Guests usually highlight how clean and comfortable the rooms are, how friendly and efficient the staff tends to be, and how easy everything is, from check-in to free WiFi.

Lovely place and great value for money
Dreadful experience in the bar with rowdy football fans, a police incident. This actually closed the hotel bar early, meaning our night was cut short.

The location was good and the room was nice and clean.
No draught beers or ciders, but there was an excellent selection of spirits. I didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that.

Great location. Easy to use facilities & comfortable, quiet bedrooms. Would return & recommend.
Entry area busy, comfortable & welcoming. Lifts quick & clean. Windows that actually open in rooms. Though a bit of noise from outside, didn’t hear anything from other rooms or residents. Brilliant! Check-in receptionist was SO nice, friendly, efficient and gave me (as requested online) a high room with amazing view. That view really made my stay. Thank you!
Room & bathroom could have been a bit cleaner on arrival, but I am very thorough. Room Would have been a bit small if sharing with very tall partner.

Great location, comfortable room, value for money, helpful staff - will be back
I loved the location and the check-in area and bar. The staff were very friendly - I was able to check in before 3 pm and leave my luggage in their store room on day of departure. I asked where to buy tinned haggis - the agent at the front desk didn't know so she asked the chef I think :) The room was comfortable - I was surprised not to have a closed shower door (only a glass screen half way across the shower area) as I thought water would splash into the rest of the bathroom, but this didn't happen so I assume it was designed that way :)
Nothing - all good

Good choice near Central station
Great location near Central station, lovely clean room and bathroom, bed and pillows super comfortable, mainly quiet at night apart from a few inconsiderate folks returning late at night, but the hotel can't help that. The window soundproofing is superb can't hear the traffic at all. Would definitely stay again.
Nothing to complain about

The room was clean and bar staff lovely
There's always a queue to check in and took ages then the guy on reception gave us the wrong room Number and when my husband went back down they told him he needed to stand in the queue again which he refused as the queue was nearly out the door by this time. . The lady on reception was quite snippy with him even though wasn't our fault the Number on the key card didn't match the key. Why cant they do self service check in? So much quicker. Room very small.
