Motel One Rotterdam

Motel One Rotterdam Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard about Motel One Rotterdam, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a chain hotel in the Netherlands. But this three-star place really surprised me in the best way. It sits right in the heart of Rotterdam, and you know what struck me first? The lobby actually has personality – none of that sterile corporate feel you usually get. The staff seemed genuinely happy to be there, which is rarer than you’d think.

The rooms are compact but thoughtfully designed, sort of like they took notes from Japanese efficiency experts. Everything has its place, and honestly, the bed was way more comfortable than I expected for the price point. I mean, I’ve stayed in supposedly fancier places where I tossed and turned all night. The shower pressure was solid too – those little things matter when you’re exploring a city all day. One thing to note: if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage, the rooms are cozy rather than spacious, but that’s pretty standard for European city hotels.

What really sold me on this place was the location – you’re walking distance from Markthal and the Cube Houses, but far enough from the main tourist chaos that you can actually sleep at night. The breakfast setup is simple but fresh, and there’s this great little café next door where locals grab their morning coffee (always a good sign). The 8.6 rating makes perfect sense once you stay here – it’s one of those places that just gets the basics right without trying too hard to be something it’s not.

If you’re the type who needs a pool and room service, this probably isn’t your spot. But for travelers who want a clean, comfortable base in Rotterdam without paying premium prices, Motel One delivers exactly what it promises. I’d definitely book here again, especially since finding decent accommodation in Rotterdam’s center that doesn’t break the bank is trickier than most people realize.
