The Spotlight on Motel One Glasgow

Chic City-Centre Base for Music Lovers

Motel One Glasgow is a modern, design-forward hotel in the heart of Glasgow, located right next to Central Train Station. Its sleek interiors, friendly service, and unbeatable location make it a smart pick for travelers who want to stay close to the action without breaking the bank. With George Square, Buchanan Street, and top music venues all within walking distance, this hotel offers a stylish and convenient base for concert-goers and city explorers alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Motel One Glasgow puts you just a short stroll from major venues like the Royal Concert Hall and The Hydro—ideal for catching your favourite artists without the stress of long travel. Thanks to its location next to Central Station, getting in and out of town post-show is simple, whether you're coming from near or far. The hotel’s late 12:00 check-out means you can sleep in after a big night, and rooms are surprisingly quiet despite the city-centre buzz.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish base to hit the city’s music scene
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples making a weekend of it with concerts and culture
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space with comfy beds and soundproof rooms
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want a chic, central stay

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s One Lounge serves up cocktails, fresh coffee, and toasties late into the evening—perfect for a post-show bite or nightcap. While there’s no full-service restaurant, you’re just steps from Glasgow's buzzing food scene. Start your day right with an unlimited continental breakfast, ideal if you’ve had a late night.

Nightlife Options

While Motel One keeps things relaxed, you're within minutes of Glasgow’s best bars, whisky lounges, and live music pubs. Whether you're in the mood to keep the party going or wind down with a drink, options abound right outside your door.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s spotless modern rooms, excellent location for concerts and shopping, and the friendly, helpful staff. Many mention the strong Wi-Fi, comfy beds, and how surprisingly peaceful the rooms are given the central location.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note the rooms can be on the compact side, and the lack of a full restaurant might not suit every traveler. But for most, the value and design more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you want to be close to Glasgow’s top concert venues without sacrificing style or comfort, Motel One Glasgow hits all the right notes.

Perfect Location, nice furnishings, comfy...

Liked: The location is fantastic. The bed was really comfortable as were the pillows. I liked the changeable shower head. The view of the city was fantastic.
Disliked: It was a very stuffy room and the a/c didn't have much affect. To be honest I didn't enquire about this not being effective as I wasn't in the room that much due to a busy schedule.

Exceeded expectations, well worth the...

Liked: Location was close to bus, train, taxis and city tour buses; breakfast buffet was varied with high quality fresh fruit, vegetables, and baked goods; rooms were immaculate and quiet; electric teapot was nice too.
Disliked: We liked the recycled plastic cups, which seemed to be threaded to have a screw-on lid, but were told that there were no lids for them. This is a missed branding opportunity; cups and lids to take away are an eco-friendly souvenir and a good talking point to demonstrate Motel One's sustainability marketing.

Nice location, unbearable temperature in...

Liked: The hotel location is perfect, the staff are friendly and the lobby/bar area is lovely & comfortable and also reasonably priced.
Disliked: The hotel had no air con and claims this is due to how the ‘eco friendly’ nature of the hotel works. However the heat in the corridors and rooms was unbearable and it wasn’t even warm outside (around 13/14 degrees). We had to request a fan which we kept on all night. To me this is not very eco friendly as we heard most guests requesting the same thing. I understand the need to be eco friendly but not at the cost of comfort. Considering the cost of the hotel is very similar to surrounding hotels. Next time we stay in Glasgow we will choose another hotel.

Liked: I loved the decor and especially the bar area, this was really relaxed and had a good atmosphere later on.
Disliked: We didn’t think the breakfast was worth £13, we decided to go out for breakfast
