Best hotel I’ve stayed at so far in the Netherlands. Spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, and in a very convenient location. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the absence of a fridge in the room, which was a bit surprising.
Clean, modern hotel in a great location. Very friendly and professional staff —especially Tess at the reception, who is always welcoming and super friendly when I arrive. Rooftop Bar is also very nice and worth a visit. I stay there on a regular basis and can definitely recommend the location!
Great hotel with very modern and clean rooms and a wonderful rooftop bar (also for breakfast).
Very central location, very friendly staff and nice rooftop bar. Rooms basic but clean. Would stay again. Thank you
It’s a very nice hotel with a good atmosphere. Rooms are specious enough to walk around the bed or take a comfortable shower. There is shampoo/ shower gel available if you forgot your own. We had a multi night stay and the housekeeping is very tidy. With great weather I can recommend to go for a G&T one night stay the rooftop.
Great hotel, location, stuff, breakfast, rooms. Everything is excellent. Would stay again.
Super friendly staff, both in reception and at the restaurant. Amazing breakfast, with lots of gluten free options, including gluten free bread. Beautiful terrace. The location is great. I think it’s a fair price.
It did the job, clean. For the price space was a challenge and the mattress quality was poor. Both my wife and I did not sleep well!
No gluten free cereal or pastry option at breakfast
clean, modern, bar with the top view.
Great location, very clean room, superb view from the rooftop Bathroom is also great but water was easily spilling out of the shower booth
Good room staff professional location perfect it would have been a 10 if there would have been a mini fridge in the room
Great bunch of lads
Good value for money.
The room was impecable, bigger than expected and quiet, as we had asked for. Very friendly and polite staff. I would certainly recommend this hotel.
everything was great :) maybe a minibar should be added in the room
Clean and beautiful modern room with fantastic view on the neighbourhood. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice top floor lounge bar and terrace . A pearl to visit Rotterdam.
We loved the Rotterdam hotel, staff, location and vibe! Our room was spacious and the bathroom was clean and efficient. The breakfast buffet had a nice selection of different options to eat. The lounge in the evening had a warm and welcoming staff, especially Varney.. I did find it frustrating that the television was centered around the German stations; no programing information for the local channels. We were NOT in Germany... so this was a waste of our time.. and not cute or hip or funny. Just annoying. You should make sure that all of your customers have adequate coverage regarding television options. The largest fault we found with our stay was the housekeeping. When you have a guest that is staying for a longer period of time, you should expect your room to be serviced no later than 1pm. That was not the case. Numerous times I would end up having to search for staff down in the hall and ask for at least clean towels. It was not uncommon for the room to be serviced around 3-4pm, which is too late for a staying guest... We had to pass on cleaning several times because of that.
The room and location was good, it would be nice to have something in the room for drinks; or the ability to make coffee or tea:
The location, warm of the personnel, good looking an d clean room
everything was perfect; location, staff very helpful, the rooms very clean and nice design; we love it and we will return everytime we need to go to Rotterdam ; we truly recommend!
would be nice if it had been a bit more roomy and if we had an extra chair, even a foldable one.
Motel One was such a pleasant surprise — new, modern and the room was well appointed. I have no negatives to report. Just one suggestion for improvement would be to have a coffee maker in the room or have coffee in the lobby in the morning hours for added convenience. I knew when I booked the room that coffee would not be available, but it would be value added if it was available.
Modern, clean and central Hotel. Kind receptionist room small, but confortable bathroom. I would like to had a mini-bar in room
Apart from the usual noises / crawling in the ventilation at night, which is creepy, everything is fine
Very well located- nice rooms .
Lovely hotel and great value for money. Staff was friendly and location is quite centric. Only comment would be to include some coffee and tea in the rooms to make for a comfortable stay.
Really nice staff, accommodation and quality of service!
very nice and kind personal. Very good located.
Small rooms with no opening window. Smelly carpets. Shower was broken and soap dispenser did not work. Excellent location.
Friendly staff and very comfortable room
+ Very nice new Motel One hotel - everything looks good, nice rooftop terrace and friendly staff! - a chair + desk in the room for working would be nice!
Very modern and nice hotel, excellent location, friendly staff, nice bar. Only (minor) downsides are rooms on the small side and no restaurant for evening meals.
Was very happy with Motel One. Room was clean and good enough. Staff was attentive but not oppressive.
Great stay. Lovely rooftop bar. Hotel very convenient.
Great location, warm and friendly professionals! What I miss is a little more space in the rooms.
Good location. Good bar on roof. Nice staff. Room size very disappointing
Great location. Very comfortable room. Extremely stylish rooftop bar. Really lovely staff.
Clean centrally located hotel with very nice views from the rooftop bar
Welcoming, available hotel representatives. Nice and clean room.
Great Business hotel in a good location
Good location, great room with very comfortable bed and pillows
The day before my stay, I exchanged a few emails with the front office manager, Bianca Kootstra, who was very friendly and satisfied all my requests. So my stay started in the best way. The mattress and pillows also contributed to making the stay very pleasant. However, sometimes the air conditioning made noise, which was unpleasant. I think it would be interesting, as it happens in other hotels, to offer one breakfast to the guest if he/she chooses don’t have his room cleaned during his stay.
What a beautiful hotel - perfect for our needs right in the centre of Rotterdam. Clean room, lovely shower, the friendliest staff. I'm already looking at additional Motel One Hotels to stay in across Europe!
State of Trance...due to the event clear but still a little too high for my experimente with motel one
Great hotel in the centre of everything Rotterdam has to offer. Staff are helpful & friendly and the roof top bar does great cocktails.
Friendly reception team on arrival. Lovely clean room with really comfortable bed. Hotel is in a very good location to explore the city.
It was my second stay in Motel One in Rotterdam. I relly like the location, cozy rooms, helpful and kind staff, the service. But I missed the kettle in the room, to be forced to pay for a warm drink each time you need a tea or simply a glass of hot water (which I used to drink) is annoying and actually it's a hidden cost. I also found a materace very hard, but it's ok for a few nights.
Everything was great. Only suggestion would be to have a luggage rack in the room so bags do not sit on the floor.
The main entrance was quite hard to find as it wasn’t clearly marked, and I ended up walking around the entire building. The room was very small, and as a 2-meter-tall person, the TV mounted on a pole in the middle of the room was particularly inconvenient to navigate around. Unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue. The room was dusty, especially the bed and bedding. To my dismay, the bedsheet under the pillow was dirty, with noticeable spot-like stains. Overall, the stay was below expectations, and I hope the hotel improves both its signage and cleanliness in the future.

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.
