    Great location, easy from central station by tram. Clean rooms, clean bathroom and friendly staff. We booked the rooms including breakfast. That is served just across the street. You don't want to miss this!

    Well kept room. Prime location for traveller's looking for a variety of cultural places to eat. It's a 5 min walk to the Dijkzigt metro train and a 10 min walk away from Lijnbaan, which is easily the heart of Rotterdam's tourist attractions hosting a number clothing shops, museums and beautiful scenery all round.

    Window cannot be opened. The only way to ventilate is with the air conditioner, but it's terribly cold, no matter how much I set it up. The street noise is unbearable even with the windows closed. On the opposite sidewalk, a broken decorative light flashes all night. Breakfast is not in the building, but around the next corner.

    Very central. The online check-in is problem-free, and friendly help is available in case of problems. There is a free coffee/tea machine in the living room.

    We stayed approximately 1week in the special double room. Came to Rotterdam to drop off/set up our kiddo at University, so we wanted to stay close proximity to her apartment. The special double was ample roomy, bed was comfy, toiletries and towels plenty. Our host was extremely helpful, pleasant and came to our rescue when we needed a bike pump asap. Tho there's no breakfast at the hotel, there are bakeries, cafés and restaurants within a minute walk. Also the "living room" common area has wonderful coffee, basic amenities and a microwave. It suited our needs, and was in a good location. Highly recommend this hotel.

    -They came to clean our room during the day even if we had put the ''Don't enter sign'' -Take a room on the main floor (room 5 or 6), because in the hall and lower floor it smells humidity

    -From 2 minutes walk you can take 2 different tram and a metro line! -Room is small but it is all we needed, bathroom and bed, it was perfect size for us. -Bed was really confortable! -Employees are really kind! -Free coffee and tea to start the day! Microwave available!

    The sound of the road during the night.

    Central location, clean. There is a shared space with free coffee and tea, plates and catlery (wooden), wifi and other useful things. We could use it after check out too. There are lockers to leave things after/before check out. So it makes the place good for city explorers who stay for a night and want to see the city. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

    Not much, it was better than I expected it to be. Of I had to be picky I’d say the bed in my room fits in snug so the walls at each side so you need to get in and out of bed from the bottom. But I picked a smaller room and they have used the space very well.

    I arrived rather early and was expecting to drop my bag off and go wait in a coffee shop, but i was greeted by a really nice nice bunch. The cleaners let me in and gave me a coffee and I sat in the comfortable “kitchen” doing some work and had a great conversation with a girl that was working there, 3 hrs flew by and my room was ready. The bed was amazing. Best sleep I had in my 13 days in Holland (9 different hotels). I spoke to the owner Danny when I was checking out and he told me about the mattress and how much they cost. Money well spent. Doesn’t get much better for a 3 star, it was the cheapest of the 9 hotels I stayed in and also the best so I’d have no problems recommending this place to stay. Shower was also very good

    I hated the self-check-in process. The last thing when you arrive late evening and tired is to have to lug your bags up a flight of stairs with no staff to help then follow the instructions to enter the premises then create a room key. I didn't like having to pay a 100 euro deposit that's refunded AFTER you leave. I insisted the owner check my room when I left and issue the refund immediately otherwise it'd be easy for all sorts of claims to be made against you when you're no longer there. The room must have been designed by someone who had never stayed in a hotel. The hand basin was in the room, and took up a vast space. It should be in the bathroom, where any normal person would put it. As a result, there was very little shelving space for clothes and only 4 hooks to hang clothes on. The big window doesn't open. Why didn't they install big windows that DO?! The small one was so high I had to stand on a wobbly stool to open and close it. There's a kettle and mugs but no tea, coffee or spoons in the room. What was the point of THAT?!

    Comfy bed; wifi worked well; location was close to city centre; tea and coffee available in the common room; breakfast was annoying as it's served in a different location BUT it was absolutely AMAZING. An absolute feast. The owner responded quickly to queries online, but I found it frustrating that there was no reception, no friendly staff. It's like a basic, badly designed hostel but looks posher, charges a silly price and has none of the fun and friendly staff you'd find in a hostel.
