Good stay

I had a great stay at Novotel Rotterdam Brainpark! While the building itself is a bit older, it seems like it's been renovated, giving it a fresh and modern feel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, a pleasant experience—I would definitely stay here again!

Good stay but could be better

The room was modern, spacious and clean. We loved the hard bed and pillows. One thing we didn't like was the occasional sewage smell that came from the toilet, it was quite strong at times so rather unpleasant.

One night stay

I had a good one-night stay at the hotel. I was extremely tired when I checked in and was easily able to fall asleep and stay asleep. The hallways were quiet and the room was very comfortable. The wifi worked well, the bathroom was nicely stocked and clean. There is no mini fridge but other than that, the room has what I needed. A fridge is nice but not a deal breaker.
