Centrally located in the Kop van Zuid, overlooking the famous Erasmus Bridge and the river Maas, Suitehotel Pincoffs offers stylishly decorated rooms and suites whilst still upholding its historic charm. Dating back to 1879, this 4-star hotel is a shining example of classic design amidst a city of modern architecture.

Strategically located in the heart of Rotterdam, this family owned boutique hotel is a real gem. It was wonderfully refurbished with a great taste and effort but it has an interesting story as well, being the place where Mr. Pincoff had his office and his vault. The rooms are voluminous and very luxurious. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dank u!

Good location (next to tram station, about 30 minutes' walk to the center), clean, friendly staff, great Internet connection. Fully equipped kitchen, even though the cupboards were empty (you can ask for anything you need, so no complaints there). The room I stayed in was large and comfortable. Overall it was pretty quiet.

The hotel is clean, the rooms are clean, the staff is nice. There is a little gym and a spa for a free usage for all the guests of the hotel. Also very clean, easy to use, and it has beautiful view on the river. Overall we enjoyed it a lot, definitely be back again!

We had a nice dinner in the club room, then went for drinks in the captain´s lounge before going to enjoy our room a bit. The next morning we enjoyed the delicious breakfast and then went for a tour to learn more about the ship and the history - would definitely recommend! The staff was very friendly and super helpful!

Experience a charming stay in the characteristic Hotel New York in Rotterdam. This former head office of the Holland America line offers skyline views and authentic decorations.

On the ground floor, you can find the café-restaurant. Eat à la carte, a simple meal or a lovely extensive dinner. Choose whatever you like from morning till evening. There is a second restaurant- and cocktail bar in the souterrain, named NY Basement.

Best thing about this hotel is location, the building, design, and last but not the least are people. Never had so much good interactions with all people working in a hotel. At first, we booked just a room, and after recommendations from a friend we also reserved a table for dinner, and finally a table for breakfast. We also wanted to get a haircut for my son in barber shop, but we didn't have a reservations so we'll leave that for the next time :-)

    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.
