I stayed in an odd wing of the building, next to the reception's door. Room felt very un-cosy because it's big yet very sparsely furnished - a bigger desk, a proper chair, a larger armchair, bedside lamps that are not so low, and a newer model TV (like other Motel One) might improve its appearance. It cost more to stay in this room than the ones in the modern wing, I'd rather stay in a smaller room that feels much more cosier. There is also no mobile phone reception inside my room.

Overall experience was good but on the 8th in the evening I asked for a water to the receptionist (a lady with orange hair) and she had been very unpolite. Some of the other employees have been friendly but that specific was terrible and ruined my experience at the hotel
Every time I return to Magdeburg I seek the possibility to stay with the friendly team at Motel One. Location is perfect in the city center, rooms are very nice and always clean. Breakfast is delicious and well dimensioned. If I should say something on the negative side it would be that the price both for the rooms and for breakfast have gone up in a steep way.
Very nice personal at the checkin, basic but clean room, nice view, calm atmosphere.
It was our second stay at Motel One this August. We were greeted by the same lovely gentleman who spoke great English and was very helpful at checking in especially that we don’t speak German at all! All Staff have been absolutely amazing. Every time we needed anything, they were there to assist. Not to mention going an extra mile for us (we were super tired after the long journey) with preparing some sandwiches late in the evening! Thank you very much for being so kind and also for offering water bowls for our dogs - such a lovely gesture and made us all feel very welcome. We will definitely be back! :) Anna&Bart + Ozzy&Cooper
Amazing location and high quality as always. Very friendly staff.
The hotel has a great location, the people at the reception, bar and breakfast service are very friendly and accommodating. The bar has a lot of very good drinks to choose from and the bartenders are very knowledgeable. The hotel is very clean and there are parking lots available the garage beside the hotel. Easy to access. The rooms are nice and clean and our rooms (Mom and me) were silent although being on the side of the hotel facing the road. I deducted one point from the room review because the aircondition in my room didn’t seem to work as well as in my moms room although they were at the same setting and the water pressure in my room was a little low. Not having a place to store clothes still works out good. The breakfast was very nice ( a lot of things to choose from). A great thing is the question at the beginning about the cleaning of the room. To be able to choose that you don’t need cleaning and new towels every day is a great idea and is a plus for sustainability. All in all a very nice stay in the motel one and we are looking forward to staying there again.
alles super
War alles absolut ok.
Great please and super friendly stuff
We stayed at Motel One in Magdeburg after a long car journey from the UK, with our two cocker spaniels (1/08). The hotel and its staff are lovely! The location is just perfect, breakfast was a great value with lots of options. I was greeted by a very attentive and friendly gentleman who looked after the area very well. We absolutely loved the soundproofing which is really important if you want a good night sleep. Looking forward to stay with you again in two weeks time :)

Das beste Motel One bisher
Breakfast seating was not ideal - it is not a meal one wants to eat with the table below ones knees.
Super Hotel, super Service, top Sauberkeit!
Very nice location, room was clean and typical small but sufficient. Breakfast and parking is a little too expensive for variety provided.
Top!
Alles super!
Breakfast staff extremely friendly and helpful
Wonderful stay, very good service.
Well designed great value for money hotel. Friendly staff with excellent English for any English speakers travelling in Germany. Lovely internal courtyard area for breakfast outside on one side. Great views of Cathedral and Square on other side. Tea and coffee facilities in the room would be a good simple addition to increase the score from and 8 to a 10/10.
Top Service!
Good overall. Great location. Only negatieve is that this room was just far too small. No way to unpack or store anything WiFi is unprotected. That seems to be a trend in hotels but that exposes your guests to hacking etcetera. Not really acceptable for a responsible hotel.
A perfect stay!
An elegant building in a elegant square, stays are a pleasant mix of efficiency and style. Rooms are a bit small and the elevator frequently decided that it was healthier to use the stairs.
alles prima.
Alles Super
The hand written welcome message on the paper room card holder was absolutely phenomenal! I’ve never experienced such a nice detail! The room was clean and very silent. When ever I go back to Magdeburg I will book at this Motel One again. Wishing you all an awesome day and weekend, Maximilian Willert
The main lamp in my room was making a buzzing sound. (and was still an incandescent bulb!) The left lamp of my bed was way brighter than the right one, way too bright in fact. There were stains on the wall opposide the window and above the batahroom door. Lots of stains. There was no water upon arrival in my room despite me being a member for years I had to go get it myself. The window leaked (But this could have been due to the high winds?) The room cleaning service seems to only be in the morning, so if you want to sleep late, no cleaning for you. I used to stay at MotelOne before during my business trips to Munich, that is how I discovered it. In fact I have recommended your hotel for years to my company and colleagues. The point was: you knew you were getting a clean room and what to expect for the competitive price. Unfortunately, the circa 80 Euros prices have now reached over 100 Euros which brings it to the price tier of a hotel like the Radisson Blu. But the rooms remain core basic! For a comparable price at the Radisson Blu, one gets: Larger and WAY more luxurious room, huge bathroom, many ammenities, closets, room sound system, water on arrival, the list goes on and on too long to mention here. I paid 16,50 for my breakfast: I got an undercooked boiled egg (not amused), cold cuts, a croissant, and a fruit salad. In comparaison, for 17,50 at the Radisson Blu, the chef makes you the eggs you like and the buffet is 5 times larger, including salmon and bubbly! Motel One used to be a good budget option, It seems it has now become a mid-priced option with budget offerings. Greedy. For me this model makes no sense anymore. It's a shame.
I stay at this hotel on average every second week for several nights. Despite asking for room features (quiet, with possibility to open window) these are being ignored when allocating the rooms. Arriving late after a long working day this feels rather frustrating.
War alles prima!
Just a Motel One like it should be: clean and comfortable…but with a bonus: the magnificent entry at Domplatz
Comfortable, quiet and beautiful
Great hotel. When booking a room, I asked for a quiet room, and the room was facing the court yard and was indeed quiet. Very friendly staff and great breakfast, which tends to get crowded and noisy.
Comfortable bed and pillows. The lighting in the room and bathroom could be better. The water in the shower was too hot—it was difficult to adjust the temperature to a pleasant level. A small shelf in the shower to put one’s own items would also be useful.
War zum Rad Event CYCLE TOUR im Hotel.
Alles top!
Top Personal an der Rezeption.
The Motel One Magdeburg is a semi-regular stop for me when driving to Berlin, so I always get there tired from a long drive. Once again, I was welcomed warmly and with excellent service - I am a fan.
Overall ok, but small and noisy rooms.Not very effective service.
Very nice staff and amazing location. Rooms are okay, but no fridge, safe. Breakfast food is very good. Seating is very uncomfortable as it’s a bar setting. Outside terrace closes at 22:00, which is very early with good weather.
alles ok
reception personal, were very nice and good informed about our stay nice clean room, very bright, but unfortunately no shelves or drawer present to put our tshirts/underwear, and no refrigerator
The only call out was the service at the bar, the team could do with some training to cope with busier times and stress management.
Alles ok
Motel One is always a consistently good chain of hotel to stay in. Affordable, good locations, helpful staff!
Missing the re-set of the room even if asked

The classiest physics lesson you've ever had
The One Lounge of our Motel One Magdeburg is a stylish combination of science and design. It is based on the air pressure experiment by Otto von Guericke, a physicist and native of Magdeburg, to represent the scientific tradition of this city. A tailor-made lamp based on Guericke's original laboratory equipment illuminates the One Lounge; its walls are adorned with images depicting his air pressure experiments. Sit back and relax in our comfortable armchairs while taking in further details of his work – it’s all in the wall design. Enjoy a cocktail or cappuccino in the outdoor lounge of our design hotel on a sunny day and contemplate how many horses must have tried (and failed) to separate the Magdeburg hemispheres.
Our affordable hotel is located directly next to Magdeburg Cathedral and the state parliament, making it the perfect base for a tour of Otto von Guericke’s city. Did you know that he was also its mayor? But not only history fans will get their money’s worth around our hotel: there is a great deal of modern architecture to be seen, such as the Green Citadel by the famous artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Magdeburg central station is within easy reach of the hotel and offers convenient connections to Leipzig-Halle Airport and Berlin.
