Hotels near The Rotterdam in Rotterdam

From the time we walked through the front door to when we left two days later all was perfect. The staff very happy and helpful. The room was very nice and well appointed . We chose this hotel because it is connected to-the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal. It is close too many eateries. Ifwe return in the future we will rebook. This is a five star hotel. Thanks all.

We have already added RoomMates to our minute list of boutique hotel chains. Indeed the last one to be added was a recent stay too. Three stops from Rotterdam Central but more perfect than that, next to Foodhallen, the postcard-friendly Erasmus Bridge and the beautiful backdrop behind it plus wonderful neighbourhoods within walking distance. And the nearest metro is just a couple of minutes walk and the sight as you come up the escalator out into the open is one to behold. For sure the Room Mates Bruno (named after an actual living person although I didn’t feel the need to research that) is an ultra-modern, plush, primary-coloured haven. They’ve made great use of an old port building adding some rooftop apartments so there is a wonderful contrast between the heritage brickwork and the paint factory explosion inside. Considering we looked down to the main street from our 3rd-floor room, there was very little noise. Certainly, there was none coming from inside the building. I never heard a door close or a housekeeping trolly goes past and yet we passed in the corridor. We picked a fully-equipped Standard room just to have that extra space for a five-night stay. I did move the sofa to a different wall so we had somewhere else to sit and see the wall-mounted TV rather than the large, comfy (2 joined together) bed. The light duvet is accompanied by four assorted pillows. A very large desk next to a large sofa, which we felt suited another wall better, so we moved it. Service A solid welcome in the usual perfect European English that puts most Brits to shame. A kettle was happily supplied so we could have our own filter coffee bags. In fact, when on the first day there wasn’t one available I was introduced to the complimentary coffee machine in reception which also supplied hot (and cold) water. When filling up our travel cups to bring to the room on the first morning, staff were quick to find out if a kettle was now available. It was duly bought up to our room before our coffee had even brewed. Bathroom A modern, Spanish style - meaning a less than private toilet, and yet it all works. With no door to the bathroom itself, only the toilet cubicle has a frosted door. You still need to turn the telly up loud. The bathtub is deep and spacious with controls taps on the long side, although you have to twist your body around to reach from the outside, fine once you are in. The large shower is detachable for easy bath rinsing and there is space all around the tub for toiletries and mercifully, there is a towel rail under the sink where IT SHOULD BE. Talking of which, full-sized shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are wall-mounted, although you need to stand up in the bath to reach to save it pumping straight out onto your face but narrowly missing your eye. There are stacks of mostly paper sachets of body lotion, soaps and shower caps too. The bathroom had two bath and two hand towels along with a bath mat and I found spares in a cupboard too

Visited for North Sea Jazz festival in July 2022. Hotel is of a high standard throughout. Our room was a standard ”water view” double, and not that big but had all we needed in terms of furnishings and amenities. One tiny gripe of mine, the bathroom has a sliding frosted-glass door, which of course saves space, but doesn't fully close. Bed and bedding all very comfortable. Shower and Air-con easy to regulate. Plenty of lifts (elevators) at all times. Breakfast superb. All staff very friendly and efficient.

The room was very nice, vibrant colors, bed was awesome, all very clean. But the big mistake they made with the renovation were the doors. They slam with a very big bang, so when anyone else on the floor enters the room, it all shakes. And then they are not isolated, you can understand discussions happening outside the room. And then, for the breakfast, dinner, lunch: only christmas music. But of the worst kind. There is no place in the region to escape this in the morning, so you have to deal with the christmas music. And for 17 euro's, it's not even worth actually what you get after your ears are in pain with ”jolly happy christmas” three times during breakfast.

Google maps will not take you to the correct location of the hotel! The address states the hotel is in Leuvehaven; however the hotel and entrance are really on Terwenaker 18 (the small peninsula just east of the main road (Schiedsedijk). You can definitely see the hotel on the peninsula as you’re driving north on the main road, but your GPS / offline Google Maps won’t take you there. Just a tip in case you’re driving to the hotel. Other than that, our room was spacious, comfortable, had its own sauna, and a great view of the river. The hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk to the Cube Houses and central market area. Overall, we’d stay there again if in Rotterdam!

We stayed at The James for 5 nights in the middle of July. It's a nice hotel - centrally located that' s walking distance to the train station, restaurants and attractions. The room we stayed in was a good size and nicely appointed. As part of the package we had use of 2 bikes for a full day. We took the bikes out on July 19 for a ride around Kinderdijk, which was about 20km away by waterbus. One of the bikes felt sluggish from the start but we attributed the problem to underinflated tires. Unfortunately, that wasn't the issue. It was making a loud pinging noise when it was put in reverse as in backing out of a bike rack on the ferry. The pedals were freewheeling as soon as we started riding when we came off the ferry. I emailed the hotel about the issue immediately but didn't hear anything back for over half an hour. A local pointed us to a bike shop 2 km away and off we went. This was the hottest day (39 C) the Netherlands had experienced in over a decade and we had almost 60 km to cover, so we wanted an earlier start. By the time the hotel emailed us back we were already at the bike shop getting it fixed. There's simply no way that we'd wait another hour or 2 for the hotel to send help. The mechanic was so disappointed with the bike's condition that he said the hotel should pay for the repair and that they may call him if they had any questions. The front desk told us their bike supplier would likely pay us back for the repair but 3 weeks later we're still waiting. The point is: I took the bike from the hotel, not their supplier. Any reasonable hotel would compensate their customers and deal with their supplier on their own. I'm not going to get too upset losing 35 euros but this shows how terrible customer service is with this hotel. You may stay there and it should be OK as long as nothing goes wrong.

The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to many sights and shops as well as the metro and tram if you want to travel further away. The rooms facing the canal have a nice view but it's a shame the windows are small. There is a good car park next door to the hotel but hotel guests get no discount for parking there (24 Euros per night). Rooms are on the small side but fine for a couple of nights. They include a safe, which is nice to have. The hotel is not cheap, though. Around 200 Euros per night (without breakfast or parking) for a basic hotel chain like Ibis is quite steep. For that money, the hotel should at least make sure the curtains are not full of holes! They don't seem to have family rooms either, so families have to pay for two rooms per night.

After stay at the Copenhagen CityHub I thought why not give this Rotterdam one a go as my experience before was great. Well firstly my god it was noisy, I had requested a quiet pod in the hotel as I'm a very light sleeper (even with earplugs in and pillow overhead lol) . So I was placed near the toilets/showers.... Ding ding ding alarms should have been going off then as the amount of banging those toilets/showers doors and the thumping of the people who sounded like they was thumping past all the pods (request a top pod in future). With ear plugs I was woken up early by other pod users who didn't have a care about anybody else who would have even been asleep as long as the could have a chat in the hall ways as loud as possible. So if you are going out and getting drunk this hotel is perfect for you but if you are on a sightseeing trip and wanting a early night we'll best of luck with that. None of my USB chargers were working in my pod but luckily I had brought a plug with more than 1 socket on it for charging. You get what you pay here and for a single person it's the cheapest option in the city. Lockers are huge and fitted my large suitcase in very easily. Staff very helpful as usual especially the American guy. Would I stay again, I'm afraid I wouldn't at this one as far too noisy for me. Maybe big groups shouldn't be all put on same floor and then they can meet in area downstairs and chat as loud as possible as they want at any time that suits them.

Single room, small in size but with a fantastic view of the canal. There was no table and chair to work on the computer. I made do with the window sill and sitting on the edge of the bed. Comfortable bed and pillow. Fridge and coffee machine in the room. Everything clean and in perfect condition. Good wi-fi signal. Residential area and surroundings safe and secure.

My husband and I recently took a bicycle trip to Holland and spent one night at the Marriott in Rotterdam. We only wish that every hotel on our trip was as good as this. The Front Desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful -- they had a special place to lock-up our bikes, helped us do that, spent time with us reviewing a map of the city to decide what to do and where to go, and emailed us additional information. The hotel is in a great central location, across from train station and in walking distance to a lot of sites. The rooms are good-sized, totally modern (great bathrooms!), very quiet, cool (it was warm and we needed air conditioning) and internet worked perfectly. Breakfast is served in a nice room with a great view of the station/city; friendly staff, hot items are cooked to order and the buffet is full of any item you might want. We're just sorry to we only stayed one night.
