    Despite the above, we had a wonderful stay in Rotterdam, there's plenty of things to see and do.

    When we arrived the downstairs of the hotel was under construction. After travelling from the uk to this hotel upon arrival I was told there's no toilet for you to use and to walk to Mcdonalds to use theirs until our room is ready in 3 hours. Asked what time breakfast was as I'd like to book in for it and was told they are not providing breakfast because the dining area is under refurbishment and was told there's plenty of cafes around the corner and to go there in the morning.

    Room was quite spacious, shower was really good. Tea and coffee facilities were provided. Location is great, plenty of bars and restaurants a few minutes walk from the hotel. The station is a short walk from the Hotel.

    I cycled to the hotel and arrived a little earlier (check in is at 4pm) and I managed to leave my bags with reception. After a long day of cycling I just wanted to change my clothes, but unfortunately there were no toilets at the hotel lobby, so I had to go to McDonald's to get changed. Also the hotel is next to a casino and it didn't always look safe to walk there alone. As a non-smoker I wouldn't want to sleep in a room where someone smoked in it. The window is big enough for people to sit on the window sill and smoke without worrying to set the alarm off. Cigarettes were left outside the window and the whole room smelled like it. After asking the receptionist for good dutch restaurants around the area, she recommended a street called Stadhuisplein and all restaurants (such as coconut) ended up being bars, that turn into clubs in the evening which was very disappointing. I just wanted to have a quiet proper meal after a long day of cycling.

    It was bigger than my other hotel I stayed the day before. Bed was comfortable.

    The hotel seems to be in the process of a much needed remodeling. The room we had the shower / faucet switch didn't work.

    Convenient location. 10 minutes walk from the station and close to shopping center and restaurants. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful.

    The bathroom rather small, so difficult to maneuver. It was rather noisy late in the night with music and other guests very loud from the rooms adjacent to our windows. It was a shame that breakfast was not included in the hotel price, even if it was discounted in another location.

    The beds were comfy, location central. A bonus having coffee in the room.

    The bathroom was very small and if you are too tall you can not close the door while sitting on the toilet. Facility a bit old.

    Very kind at the desk and very fast. No problems.

    Noise from other rooms - someone opposite with window open laughing and shouting for ages and they wern't the only ones. It may seem snobbish but better to pay a few euros more and not have to listen to people who have no consideration nor care of other guests.

    Near to Centraal station. Comfortable bed.

    Bed was not too confortable. Lack of ventilation in the room, needed to sleep with window open. Some street noise but had quality sleep.

    Location near train station, metro and bus Room was confortable Also had table which I could use to work Tea maker was also pleasent after a cold day. Could leave bags at the hotel and explore the city. Bathroom clean and very functional. Historical building with Hotel loby and reception remarkably preserved. It is very worth the visit. Free wifi was good for work Price quality well met the expectations
