“Very Small, Simple, but Clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2011

I was a little hesitant to take my friend up on his suggestion of a Motel room (bad images of the cheap American motels came to mind), but upon entry to the hotel I was pleasantly surprised. It's not luxurious of course, cheaply decorated with trendy things, but funky color scheme and has a wonderful sense of flow. Friendly, efficient staff checked me in at the front desk and made me feel very welcome.
The room was well, you get what you pay for, but I was really surprised at how functional the space was. Everything was very clean, and although very small, I enjoyed every minute of my short stay. Keep in mind there is not even a telephone in the room, they literally don't want you calling them for anything. If you want something you need to get it yourself, and likely pay extra for it, but it's all part of that great price.

Room Tip: Just ask for it. Ask to see it first:)

“NOT cheap and NOT cheerful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2011

person found this review helpful

Terrible ... for €99, you can expect soulless, white, shoebox accommodation, no room telephone, a breakfast area with the character of a busy airport, and reception staff who think Pizza Hut is a good restaurant recommendation!! Despite the high Trip Advisor rating, the people who though this hotel is excellent are either students, backpackers, or someone who has never stayed in a hotel before. Anyone else should avoid this hotel like the plague.

“Great value, not great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011

Stayed here two nights after reading other reviews, and was not disappointed. The hotel is almost new. Rooms are, as usual in Europe, fairly small, but very clean. Motel One is a no-frills chain (no phone, no body lotion, etc,). The washbasin is in the bedroom, not the bath, which would be fine except that in order to avoid water damage (I guess), there is no stopper in the sink! This made it very hard to wash up some clothing which I had planned to do. And, there is really no place to hang up your clothes, no comfortable chairs and no good reading lights. The location is not great, as it is fairly far from downtown without much in the way of nearby restaurants, etc. However, lest I sound too negative, note that the room is overall quite pleasant; I asked for and received a room on the back of the hotel, which was very quiet. The buffet breakfast was quite good and very good value, and the staff was very helpful. The hotel is clearly designed for young travellers who are not spending a lot of time in the room, as "vibe" and style are the clear priorities. That said, I'd happily stay at a Motel One again, though I'd think twice about this particular one, owing to the inconvenient location

“Slick, chic and on a budget”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2011

This is how an overnight/short-stay hotel should be. Very similar to some of the newer Premier Inns in the UK. They get all the right things right - bed is good, its clean and quiet, and breakfast is of good quality. WiFi worked well (should have been free though, but hey). Other sub 75 Euro hotels take note...

“Trendy and cheap”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2011

I really liked this place - it is good value, has nice little modern touches and is more hotel than motel. the rooms are teenyweeny but that may have been as i was on my own but if space is important to you then you may want to enquire first before booking about the size of the standard room. Otherwise, I was happy!
