More Travelodge Truths, Migrant Situation Just Got Worse.
In this explosive follow-up investigation, Craig returns to the Travelodge in Glasgow to reveal shocking new details about the migrant housing situation at Travelodge hotels across Scotland.
Staff from multiple locations have come forward with alarming reports: knives found in rooms occupied by single fighting-age men, e-bikes being charged inside bedrooms, and up to 50% of rooms in some hotels allocated to individuals who have passed through the asylum system. One central Glasgow Travelodge with nearly 200 rooms reportedly has around 100 occupied by migrants, generating significant housing benefit income (around £500 per week per person).
Craig discusses how Scotland’s policies are forcing councils to house these individuals indefinitely alongside paying guests — including families, women, and tourists visiting for events at the nearby SEC and Hydro. He also covers “emergency accommodation” placements, including sex offenders, drug issues, and homeless individuals, and how this is impacting hotel staff safety and jobs.Staff are now being issued personal attack alarms due to safety concerns, yet paying customers are not being informed. Regional management has reportedly instructed staff to “deny, deny, deny” and labeled Craig a “racist bigot” for reporting on these issues.
This is part of an ongoing series highlighting transparency problems in UK hotel use for asylum and emergency housing. Staff bravery in sharing these stories is highlighted, while management and higher-ups remain silent despite prior contact.
Glasgow Travelodge’s Are Housing Them With Paying Customers.
In this on-the-ground investigation in Glasgow, I respond to a tip-off about several Travelodge hotels in the area allegedly housing asylum seekers alongside regular paying guests.
I visit three nearby Travelodge locations — Glasgow Airport, Braehead, and Govanhill (Govan) — to quietly ask staff about the situation and observe the surroundings. With friends (including young women) planning to stay in one of these hotels, I raise concerns about recent online reports of single adult males (often described as “fighting-age men”) being accommodated in these budget hotels.
The questions focus on whether families, tourists, or young female guests might be sharing the same premises without prior knowledge, and what the hotel policy is regarding disclosure. Key observations from the visits: Delivery bikes (including Just Eat) parked openly outside some locations Staff responses regarding guest privacy and GDPR rules Comparison with other hotel chains that openly state they do not accommodate asylum seekers Surrounding areas and potential impact on local tourism, concerts at Braehead Arena, events near the Hydro, and family travel This video explores important questions about transparency in UK hotel accommodations used for asylum housing, the mixing of paying tourists with government-supported migrants, and how this affects everyday travelers — especially women and families visiting Glasgow for weekends, gigs, or holidays.
Is this a reasonable concern for guests who book in good faith? Should hotels be required to inform customers if part of the property is being used for asylum accommodation? What are the implications for public safety, tourism, and community cohesion in cities like Glasgow? I filmed this respectfully and without confrontation, focusing on facts and direct responses from staff. No assumptions are made about individuals — the discussion centers on policy, transparency, and practical realities faced by ordinary British taxpayers and visitors.

Police Scotland has refused to disclose the number of incident call-outs to asylum hotels, including those potentially using Travelodge sites, citing concerns about community tensions and potential violence. While specific, public data on crimes linked to migrant populations in Scottish Travelodge hotels is not formally released, recent reports indicate concerns over safety and security management in these facilities, similar to incidents highlighted elsewhere in the UK, such as the 2022 sexual assault case in a Maidenhead Travelodge
- Police Scotland Data Restrictions: Police Scotland has explicitly refused to reveal the scale of crime or call-outs at hotels housing asylum seekers, despite requests.
- Safety Concerns in Hotels: Following a 2022 sexual assault where a man was wrongly given a key card by staff, Travelodge has faced scrutiny over security. While the assault occurred in England, it has brought heightened attention to the chain’s overall safety policies.
- Asylum System Issues: Reports indicate a wider UK issue with asylum seekers frequently absconding from hotel accommodation, with limited tracking once they leave, according to an insider.
- Broader Security Concerns: Concerns have been raised about the use of hotels, such as the 2020 Park Inn stabbings in Glasgow, which led to calls for an inquiry.
- National Context: A Telegraph investigation into asylum hotels across the UK revealed instances of theft and criminal damage linked to residents in 2025, although this did not explicitly pinpoint Scottish hotels, focusing instead on broader UK trends.
