PPengguna TetamuBasic 3 star hotel in a quieter street just off busy bustling Nieuwe Binnenweg with its plethora of bars and restaurants. Super easy to walk (20 mins) from Rotterdam Centraal, or jump on Tram 4 (to Heemraadsplein) with a stop a mere 2 mins around the corner to the hotel plus metro stop Dijkzigt further south. But once I got my bearings, and the weather fine and sunny, I walked everywhere, and was in Museumpark within 10 mins and also historical old Delfshaven in a city of mainly modern architecture. Check out the refurbished docklands area nr Erasmusbrug, quite stunning, and some 20-30 mins on foot. Invest in a RET day-ticket of unlimited travel through Rotterdam – day or night – by bus, tram, and metro. It becomes valid when you first check in, and costs 9 Euros. An absolute bargain compared to expensive old UK. Centraal station is another design gem, and easy to buy tickets from machines with English-language. I got return tickets for some great daytrips to Den Haag, Delft and Utrecht for a change of pace and scene. My single en-suite room 11 was comVERY compact but had a balcony to sit and enjoy the warm June evenings outside. On the first floor with very steep stairs, and quite noisy at times with other guests coming and going and banging doors. When i first checked in, there was a distinct smell of stale smoke (the hotel is non-smoking) but could have been from a previous smoker on the balcony. Hence, popped to a nearby Aldi to buy a room freshener. Great working shower in the wet room, plenty of towels. Clothes storage was very minimal - just a rail with 5-6 hangers. No drawers, just a writing desk. Lots of sockets to charge your appliances. A handy kettle with some tea/coffee pods after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast was lovely, with tables and chairs by the reception and onto small garden. Usual cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, croissants, toast, and hot breakfast of bacon and scrambled eggs. Nice choice of teas, plus coffee from a self-service machine. I also rented a bike from reception for some three hours for 10 Euros. All in all, ”diolch yn fawr iawn” & ”Bedankt” to the hotel's staff.
