Had an absolutely fantastic stay at ss Rotterdam by WestCord! The room was immaculately clean, and the staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful—always smiling and ready to assist.

Room Mate Bruno, Rotterdam
Staying at Room Mate Bruno in Rotterdam was an excellent experience overall. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the city center and well-connected to public transit, making it easy to explore everything the city has to offer. The hotel offers underground parking for €25 per day, which is reasonable considering the convenience, especially if you're arriving by car. Breakfast was a highlight—abundant, varied, and delicious, giving me a great start to each day. The room itself faces the hallway, so there's a bit of noise, but it wasn't disruptive during my one-night stay. I appreciated the compact steam room—it’s not gender-separated, but still functional and refreshing. One small but very useful touch: USB charging ports in the room, which made keeping devices powered up super easy. Despite minor drawbacks, the value for money is strong, and I’d definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Rotterdam.
Motto by Hilton Rotterdam Blaak
Staying at the Motto by Hilton Rotterdam Blaak was a fantastic experience overall. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with friendly staff who went the extra mile to make us feel welcome.

The location is unbeatable: steps away from major attractions, just a short walk to Blaak Station, and literally next door to Rotterdam’s most charming local market. It’s ideal for travelers who want to explore the city easily. That said, I’d skip breakfast—it’s pricey for what you get, and the selection is quite limited. Honestly, you can find similar items at the nearby Jumbo supermarket at much better prices. Still, the hotel offers great value for money, especially if you’re looking for convenience, style, and a central base in Rotterdam.
