Nice staff. Room was so Small that I nearly could not pass between TV and windows- but had to to get to the wardrobe and table.
Great location, clean room. Receptionist wanted to make me pay again after I had paid for three rooms in advance already. Too bad I did not get the water bottle for members. Lady seemed to be a bit bored.
Consistently excellent, great service. Would like hot drink facilities in room. Price was a bit higher than I’ve paid before but still good value.
I had a good stay at Motel One Rotterdam. The room was quiet, but unfortunately it wasn't possible to open the window fully but just a small gap. Yet, I managed to get a good night sleep with fresh air. The room and the bathroom are really tiny but good enough for one or two nights. I enjoyed the breakfast on the top floor with a great view over Rotterdam, although I missed my fried or scrambled egg.
Lovely hotel, very friendly staff and an excellent location in Rotterdam
Everything was good. It would be better to put a water boiler and 2 pcs coffee to rooms.
Everything was great. It was my first motel one experience and it was really great.
pleasant stay, nice location, clean rooms and in general, hotel staff very friendly.. all good overall would definitely recommend :)
Hotel was very nice and quiet. Rooms are small and bathrooms do not have enough amenities for a hotel with this rating. Breakfast had no hot options, which was unexpected.
The bar team was very friendly and helpful. Delicious drinks and amazing views to rotterdam
The hotel itself is fine. But the bar... It works when you want have a drink and chat. It really does not work for breakfast. Not only is there a huge lack of seating where you can have breakfast (who ever thought that it's a good idea to server breakfast in a rocking chair??) but also large lamps hanging low are an amazingly bad idea. Ask my head after running into them three times.
Lovely hotel. Friendly staff. Great location.
The highlight was the breakfast team, very friendly Portuguese employee and the bar team was very helpful and open!
I’ve stayed in this hotel chain before. The Rotterdam hotel was smaller but had a great location. Room fine although I did get bitten whilst in bed and after googling it could have been a bed bug!!!! Bar excellent with great staff. Breakfast very good.
It enjoyed the stay at the hotel. Clean, friendly / warm environment and an efficient check in check out service. Would I come back? yes, definitely.
This was our first time staying at a Motel One. We enjoyed our five-night stay very much. Our “Special One” room was super spacious and bright as well as quiet. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. The storage space is a bit more limited than some guests might prefer, but we found it fine for our needs as we use packing cubes when we travel. The breakfast was the usual European mixture of fresh breads, cold meats, cheese, boiled eggs and so on. All was very fresh. The breakfast room design is bright and open with the space serving as the bar in the evening. We were even able to sit out on the wonderful terrace the first evening before cooler weather set in. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely consider staying at a Motel One in the future.
Very nice rooms, lovely breakfast and great location
Very central location. Room had lovely view with enormous windows. I booked 3 months in advance which cost me much more than if I had book the day before. Lovely roof top lounge/bar.
Right in the City - great location!
The room was compact but this was expected. I miniature fridge would have been nice. The only place ice was available was at the bar. Ice should be available in the hotel. We stayed three nights and we didn’t expect daily upkeep.we did ask for the garbage to be removed twice and this was not done.
The hotel was handy, well located, uncomplicated.
Stay was good, comfy beds, but very small room and basic amenities for the price. Location is great, staff very friendly!
Rooftop bar was fabulous. Staff were great and very friendly. Breakfast was value for money. Room was excellent - clean and spacious enough. Unfortunately no bath. Location perfect as near to centre and train station, both of which were easily walkable. Highly recommended.
Unfortunately the chairs in the breakfast lounge are feeling well worn from so many people sitting in them. Time to refill the chairs with new cushions.
This is a very good hotel in an ideal location for the Metro, tram as well as the market, many bars and restaurants. The rooftop bar and lounge is a great place to relax at the end of the day.
Friendly and professional, comfortable room excellent breakfast
All good as always @ Motel One
A very nice hotel ideally located in a busy area of Rotterdam for exploring the area. The rooms are cosy and could do with coffee/tea making facilities but overhaul a terrific hotel with very good staff
Alles super!
The rooms were clean, but a bit small. Location is good, in the center of the city.
Great Hotel in a great location at a great price!
Great location, clean rooms and helpful staff
The bathroom is too small and I Would appreciate a coffe machine in the room or a easy room service. Bicycles for Rent were not available
Everything was fine but the rooms were too small.
Everything was very good, room a bit small to move around but the big windows made up for the feeling of spaciousness. Missed the rooftop terrace but hoping to return next year.
Location was spot on, near to a train station and very central. Room was clean and tidy however it was very small. No kettle or coffee making facilities which is poor for a hotel. On the booking notes I’d put that it was our honeymoon, however there was zero acknowledgment in the form of a nice note or at check in etc. obviously an upgrade would have been fantastic but the lack of any recognition was disappointing. Check in was from 3 and was not available any earlier, but this is normal so not a complaint.
The only suggestion I can make is to make an agreement with the market parking lot, because otherwise it's very expensive. Otherwise, the hotel is very nice and well-kept.
Clean and modern, great location, good value. Staff are excellent and it's pet friendly. The rooftop bar is a great space. Room was small and a bit awkward, and very warm, but comfortable bed and good shower.
Absolutely superb in all aspects
Everything was perfect
Location perfect, we had the larger room which was great for a somewhat longer than average stay. Rooftop terrace very nice, except for the number of weed smokers. Not entirely sure they were guests...
Excellent in everything. Highly recommend it.
This is arguably one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in, something which came as a shock considering the cost, around €70 for the night. With most hotels in the area costing over €100 for the night, I wasn’t sure what to expect with MotelOne but what a wonderful surprise it was. For a start, the location is a 14 minute walk from the Train Station and in a nice spot for local restaurants and the various sights Rotterdam has to see. Although it doesn’t look much from the outside, the interior of the lobby is decorated in a modern style whilst still being pleasing to the eye and having its own character. The rooms are spacious, again decorated tastefully with a huge comfy bed and a large bathroom. Air conditioning in the room was a godsend after a day in 32 degree heat, again something that contributed to a relaxing and comfortable nights sleep. There’s also WiFi, a Safe and TV in all rooms (no English channels but I didn’t visit Holland to sit in my room and watch TV!) There’s also a beautiful rooftop bar/ terrace overlooking the local area, which unfortunately I didn’t get to use much during my stay, but there was ample seating both indoors and outdoors - again decorated tastefully with swinging chairs for a casual drink or tables and chairs for breakfast dining or a more formal evenings food and drinks. I didn’t eat at the hotel due to the variety of restaurants in the local area but the menu seemed reasonably priced and had a choice for every taste should I have wished to. The staff themselves were welcoming and helpful at all times with no request seeming too much for them. We were able to securely store our baggage before checking in, which allowed us to make the most of the city without having to watch our bags. Before visiting I signed up to MotelOne, I didn’t realise at the time but this gave me 10% off my stays and a bottle of water on arrival which I found to be a really nice touch. All in all, I would recommend this Hotel to absolutely anyone who visits Rotterdam, business or private! The only downside is that hotels of this value and quality don’t exist in the UK!
All very clean and tidy. Very nice service at the check-in and check-out. All worked very smoothly. Super tasty breakfast buffet. Nice bar.
Clean, modern hotel with friendly staff in as relatively central location. Room was slightly on the small side and at some points, it felt like not the best area of Rotterdam.
Simple but good! Super friendly tall lady and tall blond man. during breakfast service, bar team also very attentive and delicious drinks.🍸
Very friendly young team. Small rooms, but this reflects the price
The location is very good close to everything, chech in and check out are fast. Fantastic roof terrace with a beautiful view. Our room isn’t spacious but it has a comfortable bed and pillows.
Top location. Easy access to public transport. Friendly staff. Relaxing rooftop area for drinks or breakfast.
This was a truly pleasant surprise and offered excellent value for money. Despite its central, city-center location, the room was remarkably calm and quiet. The area is incredibly convenient, with a wide range of public transportation options, restaurants, cafes, and shops just a short walk away. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful. While the room was on the smaller side, it was incredibly well-designed and practical, making the most of the space. The breakfast buffet was of very good quality for the price, and the rooftop bar provided a wonderful place to unwind at the end of the day.

Design Story
Our Motel One Rotterdam has on offer: fresh and colourful design!
Hotel Rotterdam
Manhattan 2.0
Manhattan’s got a doppelgänger. New York City hipness, right in the heart of Rotterdam. Gigantic steel structures, daring bridge constructions, panoramic views of the Maas – it’s almost as if the Dutch copy-and-pasted the Big Apple. There’s a reason Rotterdam is called ‘Manhattan on the Maas’ or ‘Manhattan 2.0’. For even more Manhattan, check out Motel One Rotterdam. Enjoy big city vibes in the One Lounge. Cosy velvet armchairs, inviting leather sofas, stylish glass accents – you might as well be on the set of Sex and the City. As always with our tell-tale touch of turquoise. All that’s missing now is a Cosmo or Manhattan at the Panorama Bar. Lean back, enjoy your drink and soak in Rotterdam’s spectacular skyline. Looking to take it easy and unwind tonight? No problem, just stretch out in your big bed and do a little channel surfing on your flat screen TV. An amazing breakfast awaits you in the morning. Who doesn’t love to start their day with a selection of organic breakfast foods and Fair Trade coffee?
Did you know that Motel One Rotterdam is a top-notch city guide – and an affordable one at that? The moment you step out the door, you’ll encounter the most beautiful sites the Dutch metropolis has to offer. Do you see the glittering market hall there? Just a three-minute walk and you’ll be standing in front of the impressive round arch – probably the biggest horseshoe in Holland. Time for a selfie! We hope you’re hungry. A full belly is the last thing you want when visiting Rotterdam’s Markthal. Once you’ve eaten your fill, it’s off to the Old Port, known locally as Oude Haven. You’ll feel like Jack Sparrow! Rustic pubs whet the appetite for a tumbler of whiskey or rum, while old skipper boats invite you aboard and pretty half-timbered houses whisper anecdotes from times long past. The Maritime Museum has even more exciting stories to tell about Dutch seafaring – just five minutes from your hotel in Rotterdam. Now, fast-forward to the 1970s and check out renowned architect Piet Blom’s kubuswoningen, or cube houses. What are these remarkable cuboid homes like inside? Why not take a tour and find out? On the way back to the hotel, stop by the Erasmus Bridge designed by Ben van Berkel and lovingly referred to as the ‘Swan’ by locals. Snap one last selfie before heading back to your home-away-from-home in Rotterdam.
