Located on the Wilhelmina Pier in the building 'De Rotterdam' with views of the river Maas and the city skyline, nhow Rotterdam offers rooms with free Wi-Fi. This modern design hotel by Rem Koolhaas/OMA also features a terrace on the seventh floor and a fitness centre.

View is legendary. I like industrial style views and buildings and from my room it was really great. During the evenings with all the lights it is something to enjoy and remember. In the room the bed was exceptionally comfortable and minimalist and industrial style was exactly what I was looking for.

    I have stayed at Urban Design Hotel for 2 weeks and I had a very comfortable stay. The hotel is situated in a very convenient and central location on Nieuwe Binnenweg street which is very central, trendy street with nice bakeries, restaurants around. The rooms are so clean and furnished modernly. The self check-in process is very straightforward. In the area you check in, you can sit and enjoy free coffee and tea, you can also chill on the couch, work on the table. Hotel Manager Denni is a very helpful and friendly person.

    I loved the friendliness of the staff. They were kind, put a real effort in and weren't too formal. The interior design is awesome. It's modern, but never 'cold'. The Executive room we stayed in was perfect. Lovely view, very neat and clean, and so comfortable! The breakfast buffet was really well organized as well.
