Motel One Amsterdam 🌷 Smart stay by the RAI
Quick tram ride to the canals and museums 🚊
Why we love it
The setting
The hotel is on Europa-Alle, between Amstelpark and Beatrixpark, right next to the RAI Exhibition Centre. Trams and trains run directly to the city centre from nearby stops, allowing the guests to reach the canal districts in just a few minutes and return to a quiet corner of the city in the evening. The air-conditioned rooms and lounge bar create a peaceful and stylish atmosphere for relaxing after an eventful day.
What to expect
The rooms are compact and well-maintained, and air conditioning and free Wi-Fi are available throughout the building. The lounge bar on the first floor is perfect for an evening cocktail or as a quiet place to work on your laptop. Guest reviews particularly highlight the friendly staff at the front desk, as well as the cleanliness and well-maintained condition of all common areas. Guests arriving by car can use the parking lot. Additionally, pets are allowed here.
Things to do nearby
The "Heineken Experience" is just a few minutes away by tram; there, you can tour the former brewery and finish off with a tasting. Even closer to the hotel are Amstelpark and Beatrixpark, which are right next to the hotel and are therefore ideal for a morning jog or a leisurely stroll. The Stedelijk Museum and Europaplein are also in the immediate vicinity, and for guests visiting the city for exhibitions or concerts, it’s convenient that the RAI Exhibition Centre is literally right next door.
Best for
This clean and modern hotel is away from the bustling streets, yet offers convenient access to the city centre. It’s ideal for couples and solo travellers. This accommodation is also recommended for visitors attending events at the RAI, as well as anyone who values value for money and a peaceful night’s sleep over a location right on the canal.
How to get to the hotel
The hotel is on Europaboulevard, near the RAI Exhibition Centre, and offers direct access to the city centre by tram and train. The Grachtenkwartier neighbourhood is about a 15-minute trip away. Schiphol Airport is easily accessible by train; after changing trains at Amsterdam Zuid station, it’s just a few stops to your destination.

Your 3 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arrival and a slow look around the south
After you check your luggage at the front desk, why not start by taking a stroll through Beatrixpark, which is right next to the hotel? Head back to the hotel via Europa Square, grab a cup of coffee, and then head to the lounge bar to plan your next day over a glass of your favourite drink. If you still have some energy left, take a tram ride along the southern canals, and as dusk falls, go for a walk and then have dinner at a spot popular with locals near the De Pijp neighbourhood.
Heineken Experience and central canals
To start, let’s visit the “Heineken Experience,” which is just a few minutes’ tram ride from the hotel. Consider booking a slot for late morning so that the tasting ends before lunch. After lunch at “De Pijp,” take a stroll through the Grachten district northward toward “Nine Streets,” enjoy the walk, and stop by one of the “brown cafés.” To wrap up the day, stroll along the Prinsengracht canal, admiring the sunset, and then head back south to your accommodations.
Art, parks and a relaxed checkout
Use the morning for the Stedelijk Museum, an easy hop from the hotel, then cross over to Museumplein for a coffee on the grass. Walk back through Amstelpark on your way to collect your luggage, taking in the rose garden and ponds. If your train leaves later, the lounge bar is a comfortable place to sit out the final hour before you head off.

FAQ
Who does this hotel suit best?
It’s ideal for couples, solo travellers, and businesspeople attending events at the RAI. The rooms here are more compact and stylishly designed than they are spacious and suitable for family holidays. Therefore, the hotel is better suited for adults looking for clean, modern accommodations and a convenient location with good transportation links to the city centre than for groups that need a lot of space.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
Since July is the height of summer, the days are long, and the warm evenings are perfect for strolls along the canals or picnics in the park. Since museums are expected to be crowded, you should book tickets for the “Heineken Experience” in advance. The morning, before the crowds of day-trippers start pouring in, is the quietest time for a stroll.
Can you park a car at the hotel?
Yes, guests arriving by car can use the parking lot. This is quite unusual for a stay in Amsterdam. Since travelling by car to the city centre is inconvenient and expensive, the hotel recommends using the hotel as a base and taking the tram to see the sights.
Are pets allowed?
Since the hotel allows pets, you can bring your beloved dog along on your trip. Two nearby parks—Amstelpark and Beatrixpark—offer walking trails that are easily accessible directly from the hotel, making it the perfect place for a trip with your pet.
