Hotel berhampiran JD Sports, Rotterdam

De dame van de receptie, een zwarte vrouw, haar uittsraling was zakelijk en droog. Heel anders dan ik gewend ben. Ondanks dat ik aangeef dat ik een rustige kamer graag wil vanwege mijn vriendin, zij stelt rust en privacy zeer op prijs, heeft de receptioniste een kamer gegeven bij de lift, kamer 409. Wat is de zin van online reservering vooraf?

Admittedly it is a bit of a trek to get to/from this hotel if your meetings/holiday are in central Rotterdam (25 minute taxi or 60+ minutes on public transport), but the hotel itself is really quite good. Large, bright and modern rooms (many overlook a canal and park), a perfectly good restaurant/bar and very friendly service. I was very positively surprised once I got over my grumpiness about the location.

Really lovely third visit to this hotel with my family. All of the front desk team so welcoming and helpful especially Joel. He recognised me as a return Hilton Honors guest and helped me with the perfect room prior to our arrival. Joel is an asset to the hotel! Check in was a great experience with the dark haired lady ( sorry didn’t catch her name ) and Timo also giving great customer service during my stay. Breakfast buffet at €17.50 each was very satisfying with everything you could want to eat and drink. Restaurant team all friendly and efficient. Location excellent - short walk to Markthal and Blaak station. Easy access to metro, tram and trains. Look forward to our next visit. Thank you Motto Rotterdam!

The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to many sights and shops as well as the metro and tram if you want to travel further away. The rooms facing the canal have a nice view but it's a shame the windows are small. There is a good car park next door to the hotel but hotel guests get no discount for parking there (24 Euros per night). Rooms are on the small side but fine for a couple of nights. They include a safe, which is nice to have. The hotel is not cheap, though. Around 200 Euros per night (without breakfast or parking) for a basic hotel chain like Ibis is quite steep. For that money, the hotel should at least make sure the curtains are not full of holes! They don't seem to have family rooms either, so families have to pay for two rooms per night.

Boat hotel adagiato lungo un canale nel centro di Rotterdam, camera semplice ma abbastanza spaziosa, staff gentile, esperienza interessante

Ik ben een vast klant geworden bij grand hotel al jaren kom ik over de vloer echt top personeel heel vriendelijk van housekeeping tot manager allemaal top mensen

Excellent service, fantastic location, comfortable beds and very clean. Enjoyed our stay there, the staff were very helpful and the snack bar was a lifesaver when we were unprepared and hungry for a midnight snack.

After stay at the Copenhagen CityHub I thought why not give this Rotterdam one a go as my experience before was great. Well firstly my god it was noisy, I had requested a quiet pod in the hotel as I'm a very light sleeper (even with earplugs in and pillow overhead lol) . So I was placed near the toilets/showers.... Ding ding ding alarms should have been going off then as the amount of banging those toilets/showers doors and the thumping of the people who sounded like they was thumping past all the pods (request a top pod in future). With ear plugs I was woken up early by other pod users who didn't have a care about anybody else who would have even been asleep as long as the could have a chat in the hall ways as loud as possible. So if you are going out and getting drunk this hotel is perfect for you but if you are on a sightseeing trip and wanting a early night we'll best of luck with that. None of my USB chargers were working in my pod but luckily I had brought a plug with more than 1 socket on it for charging. You get what you pay here and for a single person it's the cheapest option in the city. Lockers are huge and fitted my large suitcase in very easily. Staff very helpful as usual especially the American guy. Would I stay again, I'm afraid I wouldn't at this one as far too noisy for me. Maybe big groups shouldn't be all put on same floor and then they can meet in area downstairs and chat as loud as possible as they want at any time that suits them.

The room was very nice, vibrant colors, bed was awesome, all very clean. But the big mistake they made with the renovation were the doors. They slam with a very big bang, so when anyone else on the floor enters the room, it all shakes. And then they are not isolated, you can understand discussions happening outside the room. And then, for the breakfast, dinner, lunch: only christmas music. But of the worst kind. There is no place in the region to escape this in the morning, so you have to deal with the christmas music. And for 17 euro's, it's not even worth actually what you get after your ears are in pain with ”jolly happy christmas” three times during breakfast.
