Overall very good.
Very pleasant stay, lovely staff and a clean, quiet room
Nice, clean, structured good service but expensive
Overall, I had a very pleasant stay at Motel One Amsterdam. The staff was consistently friendly and welcoming, the reception team was efficient, and the hotel was spotlessly clean. The location is excellent for visiting the RAI Exhibition Centre, and the Wi-Fi worked flawlessly throughout my stay. The room was on the smaller side, but still comfortable for a city trip. I would have preferred a slightly firmer mattress, and a small refrigerator would have been a nice addition. The bathroom was functional and clean, although not particularly spacious. The breakfast was good and offered a solid selection of fresh products. However, I would have appreciated a few more hot options, such as scrambled eggs with bacon, to make it feel more complete. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would happily recommend this hotel to others. I would definitely consider staying here again for my next visit to the RAI Exhibition Centre.
The hotel offered exactly what we needed -> very close to the convention venue, close to the train station, cozy rooms, comfortable bathroom, nice launge etc. The breakfast was a little dissapointing due to the lack of any warm dishes to offer. The selection was overall good but I would love to be able to eat something warm in the morning (like scrambled eggs, pancakes etc.). We were a bit afraid of the lack of AC in the rooms but that was not the problem in the end -> the temperature was okay (a bit too cold at times but that can be solved with a sweater). One day the housekeeping took my dirty pillowcase and forgot to give a fresh one -> also small detail. Overall I would recommend this hotel for anyone that wants to be lose to the convention and values convenience.
I stayed in an accessible room. The bed was only 140 cm wide, which is already quite narrow for a couple or family members. For two people who are not partners, the bed is completely unacceptable and far too cramped. I would not recommend this room for friends or colleagues sharing their stay.
Room was small but had everything you need! Check in was smooth and professional. Stuff is super friendly and always there to help you. Cocktails at the bar were incredible! Also would like to admit the cleaning, room and lobby area were nice all the time! Definitely recommend it)
Friendly and helpful staff, quiet rooms that one can make cool and dark so good sleep. Good breakfast.
I liked everything about my stay and everything went really smoothly. The only thing I didn't like a lot were the blankets which seemed to be too thin and cheap for my taste, but I absolutely loved the pillows.
Loved my experience! Fresh and comfortable rooms, perfect location, excellent staff. No complaints!
The hotel was very clean and newly refurbed. The staff were outstanding, please let them know that. They were all lovely smiley and so helpful nothing was a bother
We booked at short notice due to an issue with our original hotel. Turned out to be a better choice than our original hotel. Motel One is in an excellent location and is so close to the metro is makes getting around so simple. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean with a great shower. Perfect for a short break
Prompt Service, great location, friendly staff
Everythign was great and meeting my expectations
Very accessible and comfortable, staff friendly and their aircon was amazing
Room was super clean and confortable. I chose this hostel cause in Amsterdam is more expensive and it was perfect 👌 All the staff is nice, thanks !
Good location for attending conference at RAI Room small but ok. No tea/coffee making or fridge in room Antonio on the front desk was especially helpful
Very friendly and helpful staff. Only one small wish: more tables on regular hight to have comfortable breakfast.
Excellent location, but bathroom layout needs improvement: I was very surprised by the poor bathroom amenities. No barriers: The shower area lacks a door or division, causing water to spill into the open bathroom space. Lack of basic hardware: There are no towel hangers available. Minimal supplies: Only one trash can is provided for the entire space. The bathroom only provides two paper cups, which are completely non-reusable, one unified soap. Room temperature was not controlled or working.
A beautiful and welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. I hope that I will have a chance to visit you again.
I can understand that a small fridge in the room is maybe not within the quality range of this hotel but at least a coffee machine. I think I have never stayed at a hotel without the possibility to brew a cup of coffee or tea at night, either in the room or one at each floor by the elevators or similar. Except for this everything was good, but this alone is a reason for me not to stay at Motel One again.
Nice room. Very friendly staff.
I liked the hotel. It was clean, conveniently located and staff were very friendly. The breakfast is in the bar, with a lot of low tables. That's not the easiest place to eat.
I'm a frequent guest of MotelOne hotels, both for private and business travel, in various countries. As always, we were very happy with room, breakfast and in general with the hospitality we experienced in Amsterdam. Especially breakfast staff was super friendly, welcoming and helpful. However, this time we had an unpleasant experience that I would like to share: One of the reasons why we chose MotelOne for private travel is that we really appreciate to have one or two good night drinks in the bar when we arrive back in the hotel in the evening. We were told at the check in that the bar is open 24/7 for non-alcoholic drinks, however last call for alcoholic drinks is 23:00, for a Saturday evening this is very weired. OK, we arrived around midnight back in the hotel and wanted to have one (non-alcohlic) drink, and already ordering the drink the available staff was not very welcoming. Also there was a lot of dirty glasses on the tables of the bar, not a nice atmosphere. We found a clean table and sat down, finally recieved our drinks and just 10 minutes later the lady from reception started to remove all (electric) candles, bar menus etc from the tables and told us she had to prepare the area for the breakfast. I asked her to at least leave our table for 15 more minutes with the candles and the bar menues, to have a more pleasant atmosphere, but she strongly disagreed and told me she was not a bartender, there was no bartender, and she was told by her management to do so and if I am not happy I would need to speak to her management next morning. She continued to remove all bar equipment and created a very unpleasant atmosphere. Other guests spoke to us and were also quite irritated. This was really inappropriate behaviour, and not MotelOne style behaviour. Very disapointing.
It was a great stay, but the hotel cost 800 euros for five nights, yet there wasn't even a bottle of water or a mini-fridge in the room. They only introduced the bottle of water two days later. We arrived at 11 PM due to a flight delay and couldn't get anything to eat because the kitchen was closed; they wouldn't even make us a sandwich. I had to download the app in Dutch and order an Uber, which took an hour to arrive because it was pouring rain. That said, the staff were friendly, but I think they could have made us a sandwich—at least for my 14-year-old son.
Very friendly, helpful and professional staff with customer in focus. Clean and cosy environment with tasty breakfast. My room was fresh, clean with fantastic view. We will for sure see each other next year during next Siemens Realize Live event, maybe even earlier. Thank you again for a pleasant stay. Best regards Arek Hansen
The aircon at the 9th floor didn't work as well as before renovation. Fortunately, the staff offered me another room at the 6th floor where the temperature was a little bit cooler. Thank you
Clean room, I have some remark about the breakfast about the international breakfast that has limited meals
Super good, clean and well located hotel Big thanks to Nana, Yulia and Kristina from the reception
The room was clean, the hotel was nice and welcoming and Moses from the reception was very nice :)
Excellent staff - great hotel and location. It was the heatwave so the aircon wasn’t great in the room but that was the only issue.
Lovely hotel in a nice area with great transport links to city centre and airport. The room and bed were comfortable and spacious. Very clean and well maintained. Staff were helpful and kind and went beyond expectations to assist our travel enquiries.
The stay was pleasant. It would be nice to have a refrigerator in the room.
Very good organised and friendly attitude.
Just great apart from the TV was not working
Staff were professional and very pleasant. Room was on the small side for the price - but clean and well maintained. Public areas were well kept and comfortable. Outside spaces could be better cared for.
clean, efficient, friendly staff, comfortable rooms.
Friendly staff and superb location. Close enough to everything but far enough from the hustle and bustle.
convenient place, very good breakfast and good quality of the equipment
Great value for money. 5/5.
Had a fantastic stay in Amsterdam. Hotel was very clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. My only slight grumble was lack of coffee making facilities available in the rooms. Having the option of a cup of coffee first thing in the room would have topped off our stay.
Good location clean room and perfect breakfast. Good personal in reception
Great hotel! just the right location and everything is clean crisp and new! Amazing staff that is willing to help and think along with you! especially Felix and Moses.
Had a little hickup upon check-in, but once solved, hada lovely stay. The hotel is well connected to the city by tram and easy to find coming from the airport. Room was spotless and breakfast was great!
Good price, just what you need for a nice stay, only what I personal miss is a watercooker and coffee machine, that would be great to have in the rooms.
Great rooms, clean, breakfast could have hot section
I had an excellent 3 night stay at Motel One Amsterdam. Easy to find, tidy and comfortable rooms, and the breakfast was great.
I had a very pleasant stay at Motel One. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were super friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. The only downside was that, for the price, I would have expected a few more basic amenities in the room, such as coffee and tea-making facilities, a kettle, bottled water, and perhaps a small fridge. As a diabetic, having a fridge would have been especially useful, as I had nowhere cold to store my insulin. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and appreciated the cleanliness and excellent service, but a few extra in-room amenities would make the experience even better.
The rooms were clean and the location was great, but the rooms were very cold because the heating on the air conditioner wasn't working.

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”!
