Hotels near Noord, Rotterdam

Worth the money, was only here overnight so ideal, lack of any storage in room far from ideal, no lockers but you could store behind reception if needed, I didn’t get there till 11 pm so just put my bag beside my head as I was getting up early anyway but not convenient if staying more than that

The hotel itself is like a mini museum. Love the interior design! Staff are very friendly, there is no lift, but the kind staff helped me carried my huge suitcase all the way up to the 3rd floor. It’s be even better to have a kettle or hairdryer in the room. Had a comfortable stay, would definitely stay here again if I come back to visit Rotterdam! Thanks for the lovely stay!

Where to begin with my experience with Holiday Inn Express in Rdam. Booking via Trip was easy and clear. When I asked the hotel about parking availability, they responded promptly via the messaging option. And upon my arrival, check in went quite well. The ”hygienic displeasures” started when I arrived to my room. My first room was on the 3rd floor and when I arrived I decided to charge my phone, and look around the room. I saw that they had a little leaflet about pillowcomfort next to the bed, which resulted in me picking up one of the pillows. I noticed that under the pillow there were quite an amount of ”man hairs” stuck to the sheet. I decided open the bedsheets and to my unpleasant surprise, found even more. I contemplated in that moment what to do, decided to take a video and walk down to reception. (Before walking down I decided to check the bathroom and noticed red lipstick on my bathroom glass and a very intense urine smell. So besides a bed full of hairs, they supply dirty glasses to guests too) When I got down I politely asked one of the reception staff to look at the video and if they could help me change to a clean room. The lady apologized, she was visibly disgusted by the photos and video and changed me to the 5th floor. She asked me to check upon arrival if the new room had anything amiss, and if so, to come back down. To my second- unpleasant surprise: this bedding had the same issue, besides some wear- and tear issues too. I went down to reception again and asked if she could follow me up. I apologised for making her shift difficult and showed her the bedding. She actually gasped with suprise and disgust. She apologized again, asked me to have a seat downstairs at the bar and offered me a drink whilst I waited for her to change my room again. The 3rd room she changed me to, she personally checked. That room had no issues and was properly cleaned. Though after 1.5 hours of changing rooms- and waiting and a 18 hour travel, the whole check in experience was horrible. This hotel has a supreme location, with that location you pay a price. For the price I paid and the unhygienic mess I got, this hotel is not worth it. Secondly: One dirty room might actually be a mistake. But two? With this experience they tried to offer me free drink vouchers. But to be honest, that is nowhere near good enough for what I've seen that afternoon. The breakfast buffet is very minimal and mediocre. You pay €25 to €32 per day for parking and their rooms arent exactly cheap either. I must say that reception was trying to be really helpful, but this establishment needs to have a talk with their cleaning crew. Additionally: when I checked in the ladies behind the counter wore their uniform. But the gentleman in the middle wore a tracksuit, couldn't bother to greet guests and just didn't add to the ”hotel picture”. My experience here wasn't great, I would not recommend this hotel and advise people to book something else in the area. *Would have posted the video, but on Trip you can only post photos.

I rented an apartment nearby but it wasn't ready yet, so I stayed at this hotel for two days after landing. It's very close to the Central Station; just head right from the north exit, walk straight until you hit the main road, then turn left and you're there. It's about a 15-30 minute walk, depending on your pace. The room facilities are simple and clean. I needed to print a couple of pages temporarily, and the front desk staff kindly printed them for free. The pictures show the surrounding street and neighborhood. Right across from the hotel, you can catch various buses that take you downtown, and you can get off right at the hotel entrance on your way back. Tapping your credit card for boarding and alighting is very convenient. Within about a 15-minute walk, there's a Turkish supermarket, an Aldi, and an AH supermarket, so finding food isn't an issue, but I didn't see any bakeries or coffee shops.

We had a really good stay at the James this weekend. A group of friends and I visited Rotterdam for the weekend, this was the perfect base. I very useful serve yourself food court in the hotel allows you to access food and drinks 24 hours. The rooms we large, comfortable and well furnished. Overall a great trip, great value and would visit again.

Excellent value for money. Simple but good breakfast. Excellent coffee. Room 317 is very clean and spacious. The box spring/mattress on the right bed makes a lot of noise when you move. Coffee machine in the room and a bar to keep your drinks cool. Courteous staff. Hotel a little off-center, a 20-minute walk from the central train station, at the end of Chinatown.

All is good, the only improvement is there is no hairdryer on the bathroom, which is quite normal in a hotel industry. Perfect location near the metro station, restaurant and to central station

Located in the heart of Rotterdam. Easy access to the central railway station. Plenty of eateries and C-store nearby. Tere is a shopping district within walking distance. Reasonable pricing. Most definitely my first choice for my next trip. At night, the streets downstairs are a little noisy but does not last till midnight.

City Hub pods are an ingenious idea particularly for solo Travelers, backpackers or those that have simple needs. As I was travelling with my 16 year-old son we had to share a pod which meant it became quite squashed however super cool idea, very clean, very comfortable, fantastic facilities, friendly stuff And on a lively creative and buzzing street. My only complaint was that until around 2 am and from 8 am, I could hear people walking about on the floor above me which was really disturbing when I wanted a good night sleep. Would use a city hub again for slick service convenience and great facilities but not sharing one!

the staff was very friendly and very helpful. I called the hotel contact number for help after realizing I lost my small handbag somewhere. They collected my contact details right away and promised to look for me and contact me as early as possible. They called as promised even though my handbag wasn't there. Their dedication and kindness and professional service are so much appreciated!
