Motel One Glasgow

Railway romance

Each Motel One has its own design story, and in Glasgow it is the railway: brass details and industrial touches nod to trains and rail engineering, with photography by the Scottish artists Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion. The One Lounge, with designer pendant lamps, doubles as bar, breakfast room and lobby. It is a stylish but unfussy place to sleep.

Rooms and practicalities

Rooms come in a standard size of about 16 square metres, with larger Special One rooms and accessible rooms. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out by noon. Breakfast is a buffet with plenty of organic products. There is no parking at the hotel; the nearby NCP on Oswald Street is recommended and reception offers discounted vouchers.

Who it suits

If you are arriving or leaving by train, it is hard to beat for convenience. It suits solo travellers and couples on a city break, and dog owners. The Clyde waterfront is at the end of the street, and the city's main shopping streets are a few minutes' walk north. Being next to the station also makes day trips straightforward, with trains from Central heading to the Ayrshire coast and beyond.
