Comfy beds, clean facilities, perfect location and friendly staff
I was pleasantly surprised with this hostel hotel-which I have to admit didn’t realize it was a hostel. We had a private room with a bathroom and it was very clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly and location was perfect
A budget option in an emergency situation where prices in town went through the roof and basically just wanted a bed for a few hours - this place was brilliant and exceeded my not high expectations - brilliant budget option.
Very close to centraal station (about 8 minute walk), plus a major tram line stop directly outside the hotel. Staff is great. There was a small (solvable) issue in my room and the staff fixed it within 10 minutes. Very much a no-frills European hotel room, but it’s clean and safe (security guard on site in the evening)

Good value and convenient
This hostel is nothing fancy but good value and perfectly adequate. The location is very good, just 10 mins. walk from Rotterdam Centraal. I would book again.
Not fancy but a nice play tonstay for a night. They have a bar where you can purchase drinks or food for a very cheap price. Ask for the pooltable. It is in a hidden room. I would go to this place again if I need a 1 night stay in Rotterdam. It is like 10-15 minute walking from the train station
All staff and guest were friendly, it was quiet at night which was good when we needed a sleep after being out all day.
Would recommend if you are look8ng to stay not to far from Rotterdam Central.

The staff were really friendly. Area is great, just 9 mins walk to Rotterdam Centraal. Tram station is near 1 min maybe. Rooms are clean, but u cant expect luxus. Its a hostel and very cheap. But gud for the price. Only negative there are so many people, if they are drunk its loud outside ur room. Otherwise it was gud.
Had a good stay. The room was small but for one person was ok.
Loved the water pressure in the shower.
The breakfast buffet was very good.
And it’s conveniently located 5 blocks away from Rotterdam Central.
We had an ok night. We stayed on the 5th floor and had a nice view. Cozy with a small terrace.
The room was nice, but the mattresses were very hard and no spring in the bed, so that part was a bit uncomfortable.
The area was nice, and ok distance to most things.
We stayed as a family of 4, and otherwise nothing to complain about
Room were clean and bunks were decent however unfortunately my charging socket in the bunk did not work. There was also only one tray under each bunk rather than 2 if you wanted to look your valuables away. Dorms had an en-suite shower and toilet which was clean and modern.
They had luggage storage, WiFi was reasonable and they had a nice bar area at the front. It also has parking which a lot of hostels don’t have.
Hostel is situated about an 5minute walk from the central station. It is about 10-15minute walk into the centre and another 10-15walk to the waterfront.
Overall this is a good modern hostel.

Liked: Staff & service
It was an easy spot to walk to and from the hostel. It gave all the bare essentials needed for my trip in Rotterdam and close enough to multiple forms of transport.
Really scruffy place. Stayed in A&O hostels before in Germany and we're pretty good. Noisy road outside room had to use ear plugs. My rule is I ask myself the question would I stay here again the answer is no.
Convenient location, 15 min walk from the central train station. Friendly staff, clean safe rooms.
No lift, so if you can't climb stairs let management know.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Fine, basic, but not very clean
Staff were friendly, guests were respectful and the room was relatively comfortable, although hot, however... Check-in took ages, there were no lockers, the floor was covered in dust, there was a pair of dirty socks in my bed so I'm not sure it even got cleaned between the previous person leaving and me arriving as they give you bedding to make your own, the bathroom was not clean, and the pillow was virtually non existent.
It's cheap and close to the station but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're part of a group that has the whole room to yourselves and stay more than a night so you can schedule a room clean.
