“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.”

What guests liked

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.

for £77, it well surpasses expectation. Team were lovely, room was fab, and the location spot on

for £77 - it easily exceeded expectations. The welcome was lovely, check in was warm and efficient, the room was clean with the required facilities. Check out was speedy (I usually dislike the 'discard the card' checkout, but we still got a check up from the chap who chap who checked us in, which was lovely). We left our bags for the day too which is always a nice touch on a flying visit. The entrance lobby, again, for £77pn, was fab. The bar/lounge was a lovely place to kill some time while waiting for our train.

Its so harsh for £77 - but the check-out process. If we hadn't of caught the lovely gent who checked us in, it wouldn't have matched the welcome we received.

good location will stay again

lovely large room, clean and comfortable decent size tv and desk, plenty of hangers Right opposite Glasgow central station ideal for arriving by train

every thing was great, the only thing that was not perfect is the water pressure in the shower.

A good and convenient city centre hotel that doesn't feel impersonal.

Extremely good value for money and the location in the city centre couldn't be better. It's always first on my list when coming to Glasgow. They've got it right here.

Everything about the hotel is first class. Excellent location for all amenities and nearby £9 per 24hrs parking deal with the hotel, is fantastic value for a city centre car park.

We were visiting to attend a family funeral

Location Nice bar- although no port or sloe gin. But surroundings nice.

There was a short conversation on Saturday night-after 10pm- when the bouncer didn’t want to let my cousin join me for a drink at the bar before going home- she lives in Glasgow. But common sense prevailed and he let her in out of the rain to have a drink and wait for her taxi to arrive.

Lovely cosy room with tea/coffee facility. Had everything you need for a comfortable stay, TV, safe and en-suite bathroom. Everything was immaculate.

I was surprised that there was no restaurant in the hotel but there are eating places in the area. However, in the dark of winter and with eye problems, I wasn’t keen to venture out after dark. I therefore went for a late lunch when it was light.

Great hotel

Quick check in, great location, comfy bed, really good shower amd great cocktails in the bar. Very relaxed atmosphere

If in bar you need to goto first floor for toilets. Not a massive issue but depending on how much you drink its a few journeys 🤣.
