The air conditioning in my room made a loud noise at night when I was trying to sleep. It was constant. I requested for it to be fixed, but the issue continued. It was so loud that it could be heard in the hallway. I was super disappointed by this, and I will not be recommending this hotel to others.
We’re Motel One members and have enjoyed staying at the hotels in a number of cities. Always good breakfast, helpful staff and clean rooms. The Waterloo location was a great choice for us.
The overall expierience was good. The area to improve your performance is the area of parking. Your hotel is offering a collaboration with Q-Park with a 20 percent dicount when staying at your hotel. However the special link - which contains the 20% discount is not offered via your Motel One app - which i always use for my bookings. Can you may look into improve the app & reimburse toe me the 20% discount pls ?
Very friendly and helpful staff, good rooms with comfortable beds, and competitive pricing in city centre locations.
Good, clean, staff lovely and helpful. Room very small, and no tea & coffee making facilities or fridge in room.
Very good hotel and lovely staff so helpful
So nice, helped me when i hurr my ankle, the stuff is amazing! Thank you guys!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location, great amenities nearby. Clean, fresh room. Good value too.
Was perfect, bed was comfortable, it was very good value for money. Extremely good location.
Excellent location, spotlessly clean, very helpful staff, fantastic hotel all round. As Brits, we were disappointed about no tea and coffee facilities but it is not statutory abroad.
Room was clean, staff were very nice and helpful.
Very friendly and helpful team, who makes you feel very welcome and always gives 100 percent! Very good breakfast and bar! It was a lovely stay and I loved the quiet room with the spectacular view over Amsterdam on the 6 th floor! It was also very clean and the housekeeping was doing a perfect job, even on the hottest days! Thank you so much to all of you- I had a great time in Motel One Waterlooplein!! And I will definitely come to your wonderful place again!
Fabulous hotel and staff, great location
We've stayed at Motel One in various locations and it was first time that I felt that the room was really small. It was quite claustrophobic. The shelves at the side of the bed could hardly accommodate kindle and glasses.
Staff was fantastic. Air conditioning was having trouble keeping the room cool.
Nice room, friendly staff
Short city break in Amsterdam
Everything was great. friendly staff. It would be great to have a couple more basics in the room like a coffee machine or kettle, a mini fridge , and better temperature control. Great breakfast. Comfy and practical lobby to hang out. Location not the best if you want to be in the middle of where everything is, but still walking distance from all main attractions.
Simply the best!
Friendly staff, good location. The aircon in the rooms couldn't deal with temperatures of about 30C outside, so the room never got below 25 degrees which is uncomfortable to sleep in. Also minus for no fridge in the room (extra annoying when the room is super warm).
Overall good. One major remark: It doesn't make sense to ask whether we want the rooms cleaned at check-in, if we don't get a discount when we choose not to. Why should we pay the same amount if the service is less? I do not need the cleaning - but if I already paid for it I would never remove it. Think about giving a discount so not only the hotel benefits.
I found the Front Desk staff to be friendly and professional, even whenj they were slammed when two large groups (including ours) arrived within minutes of each other. The room fit our needs perfectly, though the cost to buy breakfast separately (appr 20€) is ridiculously expensive.
rooms are a little small, and not much space for hanging and putting your things but good bathroom and comfortable. Our first room was on the 1st floor with a view of a brick wall so we asked to be moved and were given better room on the 4th floor
Clean and comfortable
Everything was excellent. The only tiny comment I would make is that seating in the Room was uncomfortable…. A small sofa and no desk/ table. It would have been much better with 2 chairs. Otherwise perfect.
Great welcome at the front desk, always good to be welcome with a big smile! Was offered my free water without having to ask, which was great. Location was good, near the metro and walkable to many food and drink options. But far enough away from the crowds so it wasn't noisy.
Location was good. Liked the breakfast
The standard Motel One quality is again very pleasant. The room price level was higher than general Motel One level but still acceptable. As always the reception person was very helpful and kind at the check in and beyond. The family room was smaller than the similar family rooms in other Motel One hotels, probably because it is Amsterdam. The breakfast area was also limited with close spaced tables. The room facilities and amenities was pleasent and sufficient as always with Motel One.
Nice hotel in a nice área, 18 min walk from railway station
No in room clock or phone or face cloths for a face wash at night.
Room is small, but nice. It would be nice to have a mini kettle, mini fridge and small trash/bin in the room
The staff were very welcoming. The room was very clean. We slept very well. We would have liked a kettle with tea/coffee making facilities. We would also have liked bigger bath towels.
Modern, comfortable and conveniently located hotel. Decent breakfast. Missed not having tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
The hotel is lovely and staff friendly and helpful. The facilities were also good. However I felt it was over priced, possibly due to its excellent location. I'd recommend this hotel but warn of the price.
Great location, clean, lovely relaxing bar and lobby! Staff so helpful!
If it had air conditioning and a kettle it would be a 10.....its the little things! Lovely hotel, amazing staff and good location.
The only issue was that we did not have any wash clothes for the shower but we did have dry towels. Other than that very small thing, everything else was phenomenal.!
Nice hotel, decent location. Lacking a few basics - no tea/coffee facilities and no fridge, which are essentials these days, and no iron/ironing board. Would like bath sheets as well as bath towels, some of us guests are larger than others! Breakfast is a continental buffet with plenty of options, no hot food.
I was very impressed with the hotel overall. My only criticism would be the lack of a kettle in the room. The staff were all really nice, and Orsolya in particular was excellent.
Reception staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was modern, clean and functional. And location was great
The breakfast room was a bit cramped. Eating at the low tables with the armchairs wasn't very comfortable. But the selection was great.
Very helpful staff. HIGHLY Appreciated the early check in. Clean. Accessible. Good location.
The hotel is highly recommended. It is centrally located, not far from public transportation and entertainment spots. The staff is very kind, pleasant, and service-oriented. The hotel is modern, beautifully designed, and clean. Breakfast was good, and the hotel also offers a bar with soft drinks, hot drinks, alcoholic beverages, and a small selection of snacks. The only things I missed in the room were a kettle for making hot drinks and hair conditioner.
Great central location and close to Metro stop. Room was spotlessly clean. Bed was so comfortable, it was quiet at night and I got a great sleep. Breakfast was delicious. This hotel had everything I could want and was good value too. I will definitely stay here again.
We loved our stay at the property, it was very clean and the staff was lovely! However while checking out we noticed that other BeOne Members received one free water bottle upon check-in, which we didn't and ended up paying 4.50 Euros for a water bottle at night so we had one until the next morning. This is quite unfortunate as it made us feel less important as clients.
Good hotel, fairly central if you use trams or like to walk, as we do. Close to museums and botanical gardens. All staff, from front of house to facilities, were pleasant and friendly. There was a nice vibe in bar/breakfast area. Didn’t know about free WiFi. Had an issue with room which was changed without delay, which was helpful and reassuring. Need to have water in room. Room size small but fine as we opted for the basic, but storage for clothing very under catered for, carpets also need replacing in rooms.
All personnel (reception, cleaning crew) was very kind and helpful.
The hotel is in a great location in Amsterdam, about a 20 minute walk from the central station. It is in a relatively quiet area too, which can be a plus. The rooms are pleasant, modern, and very clean. It would be nice to have more control over the temperature in the room (it is centrally controlled). The reception and lounge area on the first floor is really nice, very inviting, and tastefully decorated. We had breakfast each morning which was excellent.
Good location and nice staff. The room was clean.
We had a nice 3 night stay at the hotel. It was a in a good location and the hotel was clean, tidy and staff were nice. Breakfast area was busy so had to sit in the bar area on casual/low tables which was fine but perhaps not ideal for everyone. Lacking some basic things like bottles of water in the room but overall we would consider it again for another visit

Hotel Amsterdam Waterlooplein
Inspired by the nearby Waterlooplein Platz and its popular flea market, the design concept of the Motel One Amsterdam – Waterlooplein draws heavily on the idea of upcycling. The One Lounge of our design hotel was created with the help of internationally renowned artist Piet Hein Eek and demonstrates how antiques and used items can be combined to establish a whole new character. Featuring walls covered with old windows, doors and cabinets, chandeliers that have been assembled from lights purchased at flea markets, and a fantastic workbench with specially created table lamps, the lounge is sure to spark your creativity and invite you to linger. Our motto: perfectly imperfect!
Even Rembrandt himself would have felt at home in our cosy box-spring beds, with linens made of 100% Egyptian cotton.
The famous Dutch artist lived a stone’s throw away from the design hotel in the Rembrandt House, and his style of contrasting light and shadows can now be seen in the One Lounge. Natural and handcrafted materials round off the design concept of the affordable Motel One Amsterdam – Waterlooplein. You can expect to enjoy the usual healthy organic breakfast, free WiFi and friendly service during your stay in Amsterdam.
Want to explore the city? Our design hotel is situated directly in the city centre, just around the corner from the National Opera & Ballet and the Rembrandt House Museum. It serves as the perfect starting point for venturing into the canals of the Dutch capital, exploring the central area or visiting the Zuiderkerk church. Experience upcycling perfected and book a stay at our design hotel in Amsterdam.
