Enjoyable trip!
Pros:

Good location to walk around Amsterdam. Helpful staff. Room faced a noisy street, but the soundproofing from the windows was incredible! Nice bar on site. Clean hotel.
Easy walk to bars and restaurants. Supermarkets within 5 minutes walk.
We had tickets for a gig at Ziggo dome. Very easy to get there on metro.

Cons:

Visited in February.
The room was far too hot at night for the duvet that was provided. No control despite thermostat in room. And too noisy to leave window open

Stadtnahes Hotel für einen Kurztrip
Pros:

Modernes Hotel fußläufig zu den sehenswerten Ecken von Amsterdam. Wenn man ein Motel One bucht, weiß man in der Regel, was man bekommt: Solide Zimmer und ein faires Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Personal war freundlich, Zimmer ausreichend und Frühstück bot alles, was man für einen Start in den Tag braucht.

Cons:

Für längere Aufenthalte bietet das Zimmer dann doch wenig Stauraum und auch den Preis pro Nacht haben wir nicht gerade als günstig empfunden - wobei es für Amsterdamer Verhältnisse sicher in Ordnung gewesen ist.

Pleasant stay.
Pros:

Nice quiet rooms just outside the City Centre. Plentiful breakfast.

Cons:

Not able to get an evening meal. My fault I should have checked. Could do with some storage drawers in the room.

Cons:

I did not like the size of the room , was quite small for the prise and there was not a proper closet but all the rest compensated for it .

Pros:

Gute Lage, Nahe am Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten. Fenster schützen sehr gut vor Lärm. Ich war auf der Seite der Gleise, Lärm bekam ich nicht mit (nur wenn Fenster geöffnet). WC Türe hat kein Schloss, aber das ist nicht so tragisch. Keine spezielle Anmerkung, hat meine Erwartungen erfüllt. Preis-Leistung war fair, es hatte keine speziellen Zusatzleistungen ausser die Bar.

Buena ubicación
Pros:

Me gustó la ubicación, muy cercana al centro para poder ir dando un paseo y bien conectada. Además la habitación tenía grandes ventanales a la calle principal, con mucha luz.

Cons:

Le faltan muchos detalles propios de un hotel de su categoría. Por ejemplo, no cuenta con minibar, agua de cortesía, papelera en la habitación, vaso para dejar los cepillos de dientes… En cuanto a la limpieza de la habitación de un día para otro, fue bastante mejorable, ni siquiera se llevaron las tazas de café que habíamos subido el día anterior.
Por último, el desayuno nos pareció mejorable.
Por todo ello, creo que no hay una adecuada relación calidad-precio, si bien todos los hoteles de Ámsterdam son exageradamente caros.

A good stay for a few days without expecting too much fanciness.
Pros:

The lobby and bar are exquisite and really beautiful. The rooms are simple but more than OK for a short stay. It's not too far from the old town city center and everything's very accessible. I can recommend the place for a short stay.

Cons:

The room's furnishings are rather cold and not necessarily designed for romantics (except of the bar/restaurant, which is very stylish). The price is relatively high for a small, very simple room. The location is good but not particularly special.

Ubicación perfecta para ir andando a todos sitios. Hotel cuidado y limpio.
Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta, puedes ir andando a todos sitios. Es un hotel práctico, es un hotel cuidado y limpio. Está nuevo. Nosotros solo estuvimos para dormir pero cumplió su función a la perfeccción.

Cons:

Por decir algo, la habitación no era muy grande. Tamaño justo y correcto.
