Everything Perfect. Thank you
Loved the roof terrace
Perfect location, nice and clean hotel. Easy check-in and check-out. Friendly staff. The hotel is not that environmental friendly, they leave all the lights on and the AC on, after the daily maintenance of the room (so we skip it for the next days).
Personel in the breakfast and bar area genuinely kind and caring
Great experience overall, clean hotel, friendly staff and great location for exploring Rotterdam, only small gripe was no kettle in the room, for us tea drinkers this was the only negative of the whole stay, otherwise excellent and would stay again.
Great hotel in city centre
Don’t be fooled by the hotel’s utilitarian exterior or budget room price, this place is lovely inside, has a fabulous roof bar and is so central to the city. I chose this hotel when running the Rotterdam marathon as it was closer to the start/finish areas than other options in the city, but I would definitely stay here again next time I’m in Rotterdam.
I didn’t find any faults whatsoever! The hotel is amazing and everything was properly cleaned and organized. Very comfortable stay. Hope to return soon. I’ll definitely recommend!
We've stayed more than once at MotelOne Rotterdam the last couple of years. This time we were in Room 119. That was sound-wise a bad choice. On that floor people had 2 large dogs that barked in the middle of the night. Our room appeared to be very close to the Hotel's airconditioning, so we couldn't open your window because of the noise. From 7:00 hrs till 23:00 the airconditioning made heavy noise as if a huge washing machine started its spinning cycle. Next time we would not accept this room anymore. Paying over €400 for 2 nights for a room in which you unwillingly wake up from barking dogs and a loud airconditioning system was not something we expected to experience at MotelOne. We would still consider to return however, because our previous visits were all great and the staff, rooms and rooftop bar are all really good. We would just refuse to accept room 119.
Excellent stay in the heart of Rotterdam! Our room was small but well equipped, very clean and with a nice view to the church. Staff were friendly and attentive.
I had a great time in Motel One in Rotterdam. I have been fully satisfied on what I found there. The room was a little small but immaculate and meet my needs. Breakfast was delicious and with a good variety. Motel One was in the city center in vicinity to all worth visiting cites. What I enjoyed most is the fact that my room was soundproof. Although, I was staying in the center, there was no noisy inside.
Clean room, very nice location, polite reception team. A bottle of drinking water as welcome would have been nice. Also I had a medicine which I had to put in fridge, so a small fridge in the room would have been nice too.
Top location superb view expecting more on sweet side of the breakfast buffet like you have waffels in belgium why not poffertijes or pannekoken here? We had 2 rooms cleaning in one perfect....the other less :( shower carpet went away and never back, and some other similarties. in general happy and happy to return
It was perfect!
The top strong point is the staff; the most friendly, smiling and helpful people out of the 2-3 other Motel One I have visited.
1.no/missing shower jel in the room 2. a small bottle of complimentary still water will be handy especially for first time visitors to the city 3. please add scramble egg in the breakfast menu
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.

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.
