Comments: Walking distance to train station. There are 3 computers with the internet, but when I was there they were almost always occupied by little kids playing games. Also there was a small t.v. but it cost something around 8 euros.

Comments: Great old hotel in the very centre of Rotterdam. As booked on-line the room was cheap and nice. Breakfast was stunning and everything in town was within the walking distance from there. Strongly recommended!

Comments: We paid for a room with bathroom but the toilet flush didn't work... they said it had suddenly stopped working (as if they didn't know before they assigned us the room) and that they didn't have another room nor a way to fix it and offered us a drink to make up for it. DEFINITELY never going again. Also, it's in a street full of night clubs, if you're clubbing I guess it's okay, otherwise it's unbearable noise all night long.

Comments: There's a very thick smell of dust and cigarettes in the air the moment you go in that really got to me (and I'm a smoker). Ended up having to buy allergy medication. The breakfast was good, and the room clean enough for the price.

Comments: rooms were very big, could do with some updating but thats just superficial really. Haven't really commented on the 'fun' as we were hardly ever in the hotel which is what its supposed to be like when you're traveling I guess! Was great that breakfast was included. Is really close to a lot of things in Rotterdam (clubs, theatre, cinema, lots of shops and restaurants), situated next to a couple of clubs but that never bothered us :)

Comments: This hotel needs some serious renovations. The shower curtains were moldy, the bed didn't have the right sheets, the carpet was dirty, and the walls were grimy. The helpful staff and the central location were its only pluses. Right across the street is a shady strip club, and you can hear people screaming all night. I would not recommend this place.

Comments: In general this is a good room. Nice big tv and big bed. However the private bathroom was very disappointing, there're molds on the walls and ceiling everywhere, almost disgusting to look at. It's an interior bathroom without a exhaust fan so it always smell bad. Imagine having a private bathroom that you always avoid going in. Location of hotel is great, near Central Station and short walk to the lively shopping area or the Museum Park.
