The hotel is really good, just in the centre of the town, our room was large and conformable, the bed and pillow were perfect, the bathroom very big and clean. The staff at the reception and at the lounge bar was very kind and friendly. Breakfast was very rich and of high quality. A very pleasant stay.
Room was a good size clean and comfortable. The hotel was In a great location and the building was upkept and repaired well. The rooftop patio has a beautiful view over the city. There is only 2 elevators and one was out of service most of the time so the wait was a bit long , but that was pretty minor.
Great location , friendly staff , good room.
Yet again another great stay at the motel. We always feel welcomed and enjoy it every time we come.
If you are planning a trip to Rotterdam and are looking for a place to stay, then look no further your search is over. Motel One is where you need to be. I cannot praise it enough. Will gladly return when we next visit Rotterdam.
The experience was very good. I would like and i think that it be useful a convention with park for the car. Thank you
Very good location , helpful stuff and the hotel is clean and new design. The rooftop restaurant is amazing ,close to everything. I recommended it definitely.
Very well located, friendly staff and spacious room.
Hotel perfect, good value, location and beds! Reception staff unhelpful when asking for directions and general information, when directing to the local bike store they didnt know where it was, although it was within 300m. They simply said 'it's over there sonewhere', leaving us to find it ourselves. A further interaction regarding my bill was also dealt with no politeness and an air of disdain.
Great deal, comfortable room, cool design, beautiful rooftop bar!
Great location, great roof terrace - I would definitely stay there again, with a couple of caveats; although the first room I was given was a good size, the windows were on the inside, so people can look in to your room from their rooms or when walking down the corridor. I asked to be moved, so ended up in a room with a view to the outside, which was good, although a smaller room. My main feedback though is about the lack of fridges in the rooms; I was there for 12 days, and it would have been very useful to have even a small fridge. My wife and family were at the Hotel Postillion, for example, and the rooms there have fridges
Great location to local sites & public transportation.
Very comfortable high quality accommodations and friendly staff made it a wonderful stay.
Great terrasse. Quiet Conditioner would be nice.
Great experience as usual. Thanks a lot!
Room very compact. Breakfast is good but would be nice to have some hot food as well alongside the boiled eggs.
Great location. Fine bar, except when trying to have breakfast on really low tables, was fairly awkward.
Very good breakfast Excellent location Very clean and beautiful room
Perfect location, loved the room. Nothing to complain about
Great stay in the heart of Rotterdam. Reception staff really helped when we left our keys behind and they shipped them back to us.
Friendly young ladies at the reception and the rooftop team was very helpful and considerate to me and my friends. Beautiful views 🤩 I recommend the hotel
Overall good stay. I had better and I had worse. Slogthly above average maybe, given price. I expected at least something warmed up for breakfest. Eggs or anything cooked would be good offer.
A/C did not work reliable in my room....in times of summer heat outside an A/C should work in all rooms.....Breakfast was yummy....breakfast room was more a fridge due to the well-working A/C
Great location, wonderful rooftop bar, highly recommended
Staff were so friendly and helpful, breakfast on the rooftop terrace was fabulous.
Friendly, helpful, calm, great breakfast, greag location. But also Small rooms, quite pricy, couldn t fix the safe...
The hotel is conveniently located. Close to the open air weekend market and lots of restaurants. The rooftop restaurant is nvery nice. The check in was easy too. They allowed me to check in two hours early. A few recommendations: offer water in the room or at the reception. There's actually a sign that says it's offered at the reception, but I was advised to go to the roof restaurant to get water. That made no sense to me. Another recommendation is to offer an easy way guests can call down to the front desk. Since there is no phone in the room. I needed an iron and did not want to go downstairs to request one. Lastly, offer more toiletries such as lotion. I can't remember if shampoo and conditioner are offered, but I do not recall seeing lotion. Again, the hotel is conveniently located, and it's clean. Just a few minor tweaks to make it wonderful.
The ladies were so nice and helpful. This is a great location to all the Rotterdam hotspots! I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely return.
AC standards as set by your hotel are absolutely wrong. Room 440 was 28.5C upon arrival late night, when I woke up it was 25C and room become 27.5C when running AC all day long with curtains closed. Asked to be moved to a different room I ended up in 112 after 2 tries. That room was much better wondering if Housekeeping actually reports issues as they clean the room.
The only downside was the harsh light in the bathroom and elevator, I didn't feel very pretty 😅
Nice and quiet with helpful staff.
Good location, nice hotel, clean and with all I need. I love the concept of Motel One. And very friendly and helpful staff. Congrats. Just the lobby was a bit disappointing, small, and the fact that there is no possibility to arrive directly with a car--we took an uber to the train station and had to wait for it in the restau accross the park. It might be helpful to write that in the description, so that guests know. I did not have breakfast, because I thought it was a bit pricey.
Nice and plain hotel with friendly staff. Location is excellent. Room was placed on the sunny side of the building so very high indoor temprature at check in.
Second time at the hotel. Its ok, but I realised its an expensive Premier Inn/Travel lodge, only without a coffee maker.
Staff helpful. Rooms clean. Bed comfortable. Would like kettle and drinks in room. Roof top had many non residents on laptops... a bit off putting.
Stayed here for a work trip and would not hesitate to return. The location is genuinely excellent - central, walkable, and a short distance from both public transit, shopping and dining. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. The bed was great, the bathroom design was well thought out, and the design throughout the hotel has real personality and felt intentional and cozy while still modern. Staff were consistently helpful, at front desk and in the breakfast lounge. The 5th floor space had great views and a relaxed atmosphere. Strong value for the quality and location. I would recommend without hesitation.
I loved it!!! From cleanliness to friendliness to location. It was more than a 10! I will definitely be back!
very clean, comfortable beds, good breakfast, excellent position
Very clean, great atmosphere, very nice rooftop for breakfast, great people.
the brakfast was poor
O already stay in many motel one but never stay on a reception só poor
Friendly staff and great location , no drinks in the room , but bar is open until 1 in the night! Very kind people
Clean and modern, small (which is good) hotel, in the heart of the city
Excellent customer service
I liked my stay but would really like if a small fridge could be added to the rooms.
Room too small and bad layout with column blocking proper passage. Especially given the high category that I booked
The hotel is located in one of the best parts of the city, right in the city center. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The biggest issue was the lack of parking spaces. It would be beneficial if the hotel had an agreement with a nearby parking facility so that hotel guests could park at a reduced rate. We stayed for two nights. The room itself was clean. On the first day, I noticed two hairs on the towels. I informed the receptionist, and she promptly provided fresh towels. On the second day, however, housekeeping did not replace the used towels with clean ones. They simply hung the used towels back up and made the bed.
Typical motel one. Nice design, basic amenities, fair price and friendly team!
After spending two night in the Gothic District of Barcelona, arriving to this hotel was exactly what I needed. Rooms are nice, location is great, and the vibe is calm and lovely.
Aside from not having a minibar in the room everything was superb. The staff and management including Mrs Tess were very accommodating and helpful. Great crew always smiling!

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.
