Fantastic personnel, very good buffet breakfast, nice bar with a great selection of gins and scotch whiskys, rooms were clean and attractive. Parking location is not free and directions to get there are unclear. It is a solid block walking from the parking garage to the hotel.

Location was amazing! There was numerous pubs, shops, takeaways, and the train station all within a couple of mins walk! Everything you could need on the door step. Will 100% stay again.

The rooms were quite small, and sound insulation was poor—you could clearly hear everything from hallways and neighboring rooms, including private conversations and bathroom use. Housekeeping services were lacking; rooms were not cleaned, trash bins were not emptied, and fresh towels were not provided unless specifically requested before a certain time in the morning.

great location, checkin was good, room is small, small WC, small space at side of bed. Corners of carpet were not clean. Temporary bar staff was very rude. thankfully temp manager from Dublin stepped in and sorted. Overall not spending money on the things which count are letting them down - Bathroom pod should be bigger bed to have more space at side. Ensure carpets are clean right into corners

My stay at Motel One was unfortunately not a great experience. The general cleanliness of the room was fine, e.g clean bathroom, however the TV remote was DISGUSTING. It was absolutely caked in filth that I had to wash my hands after handling it. The bedside tables were also a dusty, as well as the tea/coffee tray. For the cost of the room, I don't think it's value for money, I've slept in budget hotels that were more cleanly.

This is my hotel of choice when travelling to Glasgow with work. I’ve tried lots of the hotels over the years but I’ve now settled here and go no where else. I find that it’s great value for money, modern and clean with great WiFi. The rooms have the light switched, sockets and usb in the right places which sounds like a small thing but it’s extremely annoying when it’s done badly. If you have laptops and phones which your require for work it’s essential. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is in a great position for the train or popping out for food. It’s always quiet at night and the beds are comfortable with both feather and foam pillows for a great sleep. Tea and coffee in the room which so many have stopped providing is just what you heed when you are away from home for a few days. Rooms cleaned and beds made perfectly daily is appreciated.

This motel is centrally located in Glasgow and close to everything we needed. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Our room was one of the bigger ones we stayed in during our trip to Scotland. The bed was an 8/10; a bit too firm and I didn’t like either pillow. With the room windows closed it was dead quiet. There was constant street noise with the windows open and no A/C - I can’t imagine staying here in summer, we would have been too hot. They love their partial shower doors which means the whole bathroom got very wet when showering.

We stayed over for two nights and had no reason to complain about anything. Motel One location is perfect in the centre of Glasgow and two minutes from Glasgow Central train station. The staff at reception and bar were very friendly and helpful but we can't rate the food since we were room only. If I was being picky, i'd say the rooms are a bit small, but the shower was great and the bed really comfortable. The soundproofing must also be really good as we slept well with no obvious noise from outside or other rooms which is a bonus. We've already booked Motel One for our next couple of trips to Glasgow. Can't recommend it any better than that.

The room was unbearably hot and the window could only be opened a small crack. The staff were very helpful and gave me a fan which helped to cool the room as the air-conditioning could not be lowered any more. On Friday night there was noise from a disco or night club which forced me to close the window which made the temperature worse.

So we woke up at 2 am last night because we were sweating in the bed during the night. We couldn't make the AC go cold for some reason and our window wouldn't open. After 30 minutes, we managed to get the window open so cool air can come in. So according to the staff during the day, when it's warm outside, the A/C will make the room nice and cool. But come the evening, the A/C woul give off heat when the temperature outside is cooler. This mode of A/C functioning was confirmed by the reception staff when we asked them before we checked out. We were not able to have a good night's sleep because of this. Hence, we are putting the comfort at 2

Property was a great location for our needs. Only issue we had was that a front desk attendant gave us a wrong address to a restaurant and we wasted 1 hour and 30 pounds. When we explained the situation to the attendant, when we returned, he just shrugged us off and said that was the address he saw and it wasn’t his fault. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Will not be recommending your hotel in the future.

Only stayed overnight to see a concert in Glasgow. Hotel, rooms and location are all great, the only complaint is the inexcusable queue for checking in, waited for over half an hour to check in, and the queue was even longer when we were eventually given a key. If a hotel of this size insists on 3pm check-ins please ensure you have a system to cope with the demand.

The over all stay was great. Check-in was hectic. I was given a key to my room but it didn’t work so I went down and waited in line to get a key that worked. I got a key that worked and went back up to the room the key worked this time but when I opened the door the room was occupied 😳. So I went back down and waited in line to get another room that wasn’t occupied. They gave me a free drink at the bar but I don’t drink alcohol. That being said the bed was the most comfortable one of my whole UK holiday.
