Great location but not easy to drive to as there are a lot of pedestrian only streets near the hotel. Parking is at the art museum garage a few minutes away. About 30 CHF per day. Hotel was great and modern with a bar in the lobby. Staff was nice.

Tram stop right outside, cafe below, coop market around the corner, bars and restaurants across the street, 2 blocks from the cathedral, extensive shopping within 1 block, just a great location. Stayed her a night before the river cruise and it was an excursion in itself. Noon check out so we had the morning to explore, then took the tram down to the dock - careful, be sure you have the right embankment dock for your particular boat…tram also took us straight from train to hotel. It would be good for Motel One to list easily which Tram to take from station to stopping point, etc., send in a pre arrival email, because it was SO easy and convenient. Not easy with big luggage to get in the doors up the stairs and across the cobblestone courtyard so be aware. Room was small but well equipped, clean, comfy and quiet. Everything is pre pay so no hassle on the way out with bills. Bartender 24 hours/day and attentive. Meeting space with friends on the first floor meant quiet upstairs for the rooms. Just a fantastic pre our post cruise hotel - highly recommend.

This place almost gets a 10 out of 10. The staff are great, , I loved our room, the location is good. The shower floor is too level so water goes under the shower door and gets the area in front of the shower wet. They need to leave more towels to deal with that. What I hated are the pillows- rock hard bricks, and no softer options. And I couldn’t use a rolled up towel for a pillow because all the towels were wet from the shower! But I would still come back- just check the pillow and towel situation before it’s late at night!

Fantastic location, hotel and staff
Fantastic experience. The hotel’s location is right on the centre of the city, the rooms are squeaky clean and comfortable. Love the pillow choices! The staff are ver professional and friendly. Their card key system was down for one day and I was very impressed by the way the team handled the inconvenience. Can definitely recommend!

Fantastic hotel, great location, super professional and friendly staff. The rooms are reasonable sized, ultraclean, with comfy beds and choice of pillows. The only thing I was missing was a small fridge to keep the water cold.

The first thing you encounter when you walk in the door is a bar, the check-in desk is behind that. The view is awful, the shower is not enclosed so water goes everywhere. However, the room is spotless and in mint condition. There is air conditioning and a breakfast buffet is available. They provide free WiFi and are located within walking distance of many things.

Airport hotel with cool vibe!
Love the hotel. Super cool vibe! Small but very fun rooms! The most comfortable bed and pillows I’ve ever had in a hotel. This was our second stay. Nice bar with good food and comfortable sitting areas. Nice to be able to walk to the Amsterdam airport.
