The placement of the reception desk is very awkward: there is not a natural flow from the front door to the reception. I was waiting to be checked-in in front of the desk, but the front desk agents assisted people who arrived after me. I realise that the hotel just underwent renovations, so the floor plan is likely not going to be redone now, but some signage would help. The bathrooms should have exhaust fans. Otherwise, the rooms and common areas are clean, and the bed, as always, is comfortable.
The best stay!👏
Efficient and friendly staff
The place was clean and quiet, with good soundproofing and a nice breakfast. Overall, everything was well maintained and comfortable. However, it didn’t feel truly pet friendly, as there is a fee for the dog but no access allowed to the breakfast area, even on the side. The garage is no guarantee of getting a spot.
We had fabulous stay there was 4 of us we had 2 rooms booked, From the moment we arrived we were greated by staff member who's name was Welinton so kind and very polite all staff were very good , Hotel is really very good beautiful relaxing lounge at the end of your day to relax, Lovely continental breakfast. Transport is just about 5 mns walk and very handy to get around Spotless clean, 😀
The hotel is modern, stylish, and clean. The rooms are not very large, but they are thoughtfully designed and comfortable, with everything you need for a short stay. The bed was especially cozy, which made for a great night’s sleep. One of the highlights is the location, making it super convenient to get around Amsterdam. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, it’s well connected to the city center and other areas. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, which added to the positive experience. The lobby and bar area also have a nice atmosphere, perfect for relaxing. The only small downside is the limited space in the rooms and lack of certain amenities like a fridge or coffee-making facilities, but this didn’t significantly impact my stay. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located, and stylish place to stay in Amsterdam.
I am a happy regular customer and love Motel One. The lady at the check in counter was very friendly and helpful, she really made me feel welcome.
Comfortable room, friendly staff
Hotel was very well decorated and clean only issue was a lot of tables are too low for eating breakfast
- Room: enough space but had a very bad smell and no windows. - Room with a view: The view from the second floor was nothing special. Not worth it.
Everything was perfect, but please take care of some of your exit doors next time, because it was a little bit uncomfortable.
Parking information for flow was inaccurate. Standard parking email a bit blunt and does not take into consideration actual booking.
The hotel staff were amazing. They were warm and welcoming as well. During my stay I had asked to keep my insulin in a refrigerator. Over the course of my stay, each staff member that helped me knew exactly where the medication was and gave it to me quickly. I really appreciated the staff's attention to my medical needs. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience
Hi! Very nice and Friendly staff! Only thing is the Main door at 1st Level at the Elevators, when it’s closing its loud and you can hear it all the time in the rooms. Maybe you can adjust the closing mechanics a Little. Best regards, Maik Hagedorn
Friendly staff and everything else was good, but the breakfast was so bad I would not come back. It would be better not to offer breakfast at all. There is also not enough seating in the lobby. and considering I paid €860 for two nights, I really would not come back that is way too much even for the area.
Very friendly staff and beautiful hotel at a great price.
Very nice hotel for the price, especially consider Ing a great location - next to metro and train, though I used the room only to sleep and shower. Breakfast is a bit lackluster - nothing warm to eat. Very friendly staff, I highly recommend
very pleasant and efficient
Perfect hotel and staff. Only thing that bothered me was the ventilation and black out curtain missing
Great location by the conference centre RAI and train/metro station. Good breakfast with variety. Friendly staff and confortable and clean bedrooms
We enjoyed our stay the staff were fantastic included the housekeepers. Very clean & quiet. One improvement is changing some of the breakfast chairs and room chairs they are uncomfortable for working at.
Beautiful hotel (why only 3 stars?), both in the common areas and in the room. Excellent cleanliness. Eco-friendly. The only downside: it’s not possible to adjust the room temperature, because — as far as I understood — the hotel uses an eco-sustainability and controlled air circulation system. Personally, I felt a bit cold. The hotel is very close to the metro (Europaplein station): you can reach Rokin station in just 5 minutes.
Overall a good stay — clean, modern, and comfortable. The only drawback was the lack of a cupboard or proper storage space. My special thanks to Antonio and Kasha for taking extra care of my special needs.
Beautiful hotel, but for the price I would have expected better amenities in the room.
Everything perfect. Not a 10 because no safe in the room.
Nice , clean room, good shower, excellent breakfast great location for conference at RAI, metro nearby
Brekfas can be beter
Great hotel, I haven't stayed in a bad Motel One yet. I usually look to see if there is one wherever I'm travelling to because then I'm never disappointed. Clean, comfortable, great staff, little but out of the centre but the train station is over the road and there's also a tram stop 2 mins walk away. I would definitely stay here again.
Great place ! Unfortunately, although the room price was significantly increased for the marathon weekend, we were not allowed to take a shower before driving back home (400km). The narrow-minded attitude of the reception manager was quiet disappointing.
Overall, the stay was disappointing considering the price range. The room was quite small, and the bed wasn’t even made upon arrival. It faced other apartments directly, and with only blackout curtains, you had to choose between complete darkness or being visible to neighbors. The curtains also didn’t fully block the daylight, making the room quite bright in the morning. Breakfast was not included and costs €16 per person, which feels expensive given the overall experience. The decor felt basic, with rough-textured walls that looked dated, more like a standard apartment than a hotel. The toilet was not separated from the bathroom, which is inconvenient for a double room. There was no minibar or even a complimentary bottle of water, and water at the bar was €9 per liter — which seems excessive at this price level. The lobby was overcrowded and very noisy during breakfast, making it difficult to enjoy the meal. Overall, the experience did not match the rate charged, which is closer to a 4-star price range than the actual service provided.
The stay was good, I think the breakfast was a bit sparse. I would have liked to see scrambled eggs and some hot savory options such as bacon or sausage.
Room is nice, but compared to other hotels in the region a bit at the highend compared to m2/prijs and available amnities. Not all teammembers seem to enjoy their job, while others are over enthousiastic. For a Dutch hotel I have not come across anybody that speaks dutch.
Nice clean room. We wish there was complimentary coffee for guests in the lobby
Excellent hotel with a perfect location near the metro, train stations, and the RAI Convention Center. It is ideal for RAI conference attendees. Highly recommend!
Could do with a kettle in the room. Very minimslistic Otherwise no other issues; very clean and with very friendly staff.
Excellent service, interior design and location. No TV channels available because of storm damage, but we were served free cocktails as compensation!
Nice staff and hotel. Rooms very small.
Excellent
Motel One is clean, tastefully decorated, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The only flaw is the staff, too rigid and inattentive to guests' needs. At 9:50, they didn't let me have breakfast, even though I wanted to pay because they said they'd close at 10. They invited me to find an outside bar even though I had my 6-year-old daughter and it was windy and pouring rain outside. It was my choice to pay for 10 minutes. I felt rejected. Furthermore, the staff gave conflicting information about the cost of breakfast for the child, and I believe I paid more than I should have. A real shame.
Modern hotel with friendly helpful staff. Have stayed in other Motel One hotels and would have no hesitation in staying again.
It was a very nice hotel. Only thing i missed in breakfast was having scrambled eggs.
Hotel & my room were very clean Great location near Metro & train station Super nice employees greeting with smile & very kind & helpful. Lis, Ama, Kostas, Evi, Manuel & Antonio thank you for making my stay very pleasant just like my home. Breakfast & the varieties were great ❤️👌👏💐😍
My room on the 9th floor was compact but nice, the bed was super comfy! The iron was rubbish though and I was surprised there wasn't a safe in the room. Staff were friendly and drinks at the bar reasonably priced.
Staff were extremely helpful. Great location for the RAI.
Clean comfortable room. Close to train that takes you to airport and close to tram that takes you to the city center.
The hotel was not of the standard as compared to its charges.
1 point down for missing warm breakfast. 1 point down for extremly small table in room.
Overall, a very enjoyable stay at Motel One, Amsterdam and I have to admire your high standards in both your professional service and quality of accommodation. I have a couple of small observations on the negative side: BREAKFAST: •There was no hot food choice at breakfast. •The breakfast selection remained the same every day so after 4 days it became a little boring owing to no new choices of food being available. • The breakfast experience was damaged by irritating music being played on a sound system from the time breakfast started. Who wants to listen to disco music and similar at 6 in the morning?? I DO NOT! I believe most people like to wake up slowly with peace and quiet and not have annoying music forced on them.Please note, Motel One, Amsterdam! GENERAL • I was not at all pleased, for hygiene reasons, to see dogs being allowed in rooms. This shocked me. I feel that hotel accomodation should be for people only and not animals. • I noted there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room.
Matress TOO soft could not sleep... pillows too high for that mattess. Why such a matress....
Very friendly staff. Bar staff very friendly and helpful.

It is always tulip time in our Motel One Amsterdam - no matter the season. Check in & flourish!
Hotel Amsterdam
Our Motel One Amsterdam in the Netherlands’ capital features the familiar Dutch motifs everywhere you look. A collage of bicycle wheels adorns the breakfast spot, and the One Lounge hosts an abstract art installation using bicycles as an eye-catching partition. Of course we couldn’t neglect the famous “tulips of Amsterdam”: they provide splashes of colour throughout our interiors, and are showcased against a black background in photos paying homage to the still-life works of the Dutch Masters. Echoes of iconic art, a sea of flowers, and the contemporary cult of the bicycle – our Design Hotel shows off Amsterdam from its best angle.
Conveniently situated next to the convention centre at the Amsterdam RAI stop, our affordable Design Hotel is close to the heart of Amsterdam, in fact just a few minutes away by bicycle or public transport. Its characteristic tall and slim houses, cobbled lanes and archetypal urban canals await. Even closer by, the Amstelpark is well worth a visit. Its beautifully-kept lawns are dotted with interesting features, including an example of the quintessential Dutch windmill. Savour the flair of this “town on two wheels”!
