Location, parking and room with balcony were my reasons for choosing this hotel. And we were pleased with all the above. The lobby and lounge area were clean and inviting. The staff was very friendly and were very eager to get to make sure my room was ready. They also have a computer with easy check-in and check-out. Bar restaurant area was nice. I chose the Family room with extra room with sleeper sofa and balcony. It also had very large closet/ dresser(which I used and enjoyed) and mini fridge and coffee maker and AC. Bathroom was cool and clean with very nice shower. The one thing I liked most was they have record player(also played bluetooth) with records that we actually listen too. And most importantly the balcony which was surprisingly large (others were much smaller) probably because we had a corner room. Even though i don't smoke cigarettes I enjoyed the views and balcony even though it was rainy. I used the desk and chair and it was nice having two rooms for our luggage. Our room was very spacious and very comfortable except for the bed. It was also pretty quit too. We were very pleased with this room and hotel. FYI it's only a 3-5 minute walk to huge indoor food mall and center and the famous cubed houses. We most definitely will visit Rotterdam again and probably stay at this hotel again.

The bed was two twins pushed together (which is typical in Europe) but they put some foam bed topper(at least use a good one) to make it look like a king, which fine except is was very hard still and extremely uncomfortable. Beds should be the most important and comfortable thing in any room in any hotel first and foremost. The elevators are a bit small but again that's typical in Europe(not really a dislike) but giving more info. Would've liked more days in Rotterdam.
