Hotel Review
Motel One Amsterdam-Waterlooplein, Amsterdam, Netherlands
If you have a limited accommodation budget, this hotel makes a good compromise when visiting Amsterdam. It boasts a contemporary design, its rooms are comfortable and it has an inviting lounge bar area. Although not the most attractive neighbourhood, it is relatively central and near numerous popular attractions. Service here is efficient and friendly, and you get a decent buffet breakfast and a good selection of drinks if you want to experience the bar in the evening. The spotless rooms are light and bright and of an adequate size and have flat screen TVs, a safe, and modern sleek bathrooms.
