Friendly staff, spacious room. Limited amenities
Nice view of the city even though the building is not very tall. Right in the city centre, very convenient. Close to all the stores, restaurants and located right around the corner of De Markthal. Loved the rooftop lounge/bar. Friendly staff, comfy room and bed.
Special One room was spacious with a good view. Very good breakfast buffet. Friendly staff who spoke excellent English. Very convenient location in the heart of Rotterdam.
perfect for city trip - why 9 of 10? Coffee… 😜
The team at the reception was really nice, the room was perfect, clean and warm, breakfast area and the food choice super. Ony thing missing a fitness center!
Excellent location and service from polite staff was fantastic. Rooms weren’t huge but clean and well kept. Breakfast excellent value and roof top bar a great amenity.
Could not fault the hotel. Central position, clean, attentive staff, rooms small but comfy beds and pillows, shower powerful, lovely and varied breakfast, 5th floor bar very relaxed with good view.
No free water voucher offered. Safe inoperable for duration of stay, despite reporting within 20 minutes of checking in.
Location was perftect! Nice and clean rooms right in the middle of the center. The only thing I can say is rooms should be warmer cause I felt cold in the night.
First of all, the location was top. Near to everything (Metro, tram, Markthal, Chinatown, etc). From check-in to check-out, the size of this location of Motel One, the space of the building and its spaces within, the room (best bed of all four beds we slept on in 4 hotels within a week: Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Amsterdam), great bathroom, though the door gets wet a lot when taking a shower, best breakfast of all (format, presentation, cleanliness, friendliness), though the Lounge&Bar space is designed better for lounging than for having breakfast. The first time I stayed at a Motel One was in Berlin many years ago, but haven't been a regular client. In the future, I'll try to stay at a Motel One location whenever possible. Thank you!
This hotel was perfect for my stay. Right in the centre, very clean and super comfortable beds! Also much better value than many of the hotels in Rotterdam. I particularly like the fact that the bed pillows were actually comfortable, most hotels (even 5 star ones!) have pillows like boulders The staff were very helpful. My only negative is the breakfast, very basic and very little on offer for coeliacs.
This was my second time staying at Motel One Rotterdam and third time at a Motel One hotel. I had a great stay. Room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Fantastic location and view. Friendly and efficient check in. The bar staff are always so personable. The rooftop bar had a great ambience with a terrific view of the Rotterdam skyline. I intend to stay there again.
Excellent rooms, clean and tidy all over the hotel. Breakfast is fantastic with a wide variety of continental offerings. The staff were very friendly.
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.

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.
