Each of the simply furnished dormitory rooms at Stayokay Hostel Rotterdam has bunk beds, a shared shower room and a shared toilet. Guests can enjoy a buffet breakfast every morning. Packed lunch service is available for a surcharge.

A unique opportunity to stay in one of the symbols and landmarks of the city. For a very long time I wanted to visit the cubic houses and finally I had the opportunity to stay in them.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Beautiful looking hostel in a great location, not far from central station. Really nice vibe with guests and staff using the shared space together and often cooking together (or at least at the same time). It made the place feel very inviting. Breakfast and beers are also very cheaply available for Rotterdam prices.

    Great location in the city center, 10 minutes walk from main train & bus station, yet in the calm, quiet and safe back street. Room for solo traveler (one bed) is small but cosy and more than adequate, clean all around, with great bed and linen, tv, private bathroom with shower. Staff is very friendly and helpful (both receptionists I encountered). All of this you get for a really budget price, not much more than hostel bunk bed. Great experience overall.
