Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.

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.

Amazing and relaxing

The bed was incredibly comfortable, shower was amazing. Hotel overall was so clean and the staff were lovely. Close to all the shops and the train station.

There’s no air conditioning, the hotel was extremely warm, had to get a fan but didn’t really change much.

Cozy & Modern

It had all the basics but also some extras, plus was very modern and walkable to most every place! In the city center BUT right on the edge. Also very secure.

As a foreigner, I didn't know it was required to keep my room key in the wall slot to activate the electricity... would be nice to include those instructions instead of being embarrassed by asking for maintenance. The room was excessively warm, and difficult to adjust the temp... felt embarrassed to ask about that.

Central location, walkable everywhere and public transport right around the corner - and great rooms

The location is exceptional directly next to the train station and in the heart of the city - we could walk everywhere and head out with the train the next morning. Also, very clean rooms, great vibe, great staff! Really, this was an exceptional visit for us! Thanks for letting us check in early.

Nothing to complain about!

The Prodigy gig

We were there for a gig at the Hydro & the location was great for the train shopping places to eat.... excellent 👍

This is a small complaint, but the room was so hot we didn't get much sleep and I didn't particularly like the style of the pillows, different shapes and firmness.

Decor vibe, checkout times. The new toiletries, which smell a lot better.

Plastic coffee cups, Hospitality tray had only two coffee sachets. The mattress, which consisted of two; wasn't the comfiest if you slept in the middle of the bed.
