Le Marin Hotel Rotterdam City - Handwritten Collection
Staying at Le Marin Hotel Rotterdam City was a delightful experience overall. The location is fantastic—just steps away from the Flixbus stop, making travel in and out of the city super convenient. The water pressure in the shower is excellent, and the hot water system works flawlessly—perfect for a refreshing morning rinse. The air conditioning can get quite chilly, but it’s easy to request adjustments at reception; they’re very responsive.

The Bellhop
Staying at The Bellhop was such a delightful experience! Though the building has a vintage feel, it’s been beautifully updated with modern touches that really shine. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Rotterdam’s vibrant city center. I walked to the train station in just 15 minutes, and the route along the canal was absolutely charming—peaceful, scenic, and full of character. Perfect for couples or solo travelers, though families might want a slightly larger room. One thing to note: there’s no elevator, so if you’re carrying luggage, be prepared for a few flights of stairs. But honestly, that small trade-off is totally worth it. The atmosphere, convenience, and unique charm make this hotel stand out. I’d definitely come back again!

Weena House
Staying at Weena House was a pleasant surprise—right next to the train station, it’s super convenient for getting around Rotterdam. I was warmly greeted by a sweet elderly Russian lady who runs the place with genuine care and charm. The room is a bit dated, but her friendly personality more than makes up for it. She asked about our breakfast preferences—like how we like our eggs—and made sure we were well-fed and caffeinated before heading out for the day.

The breakfast was a highlight: fresh, varied, and well-prepared with great local touches.
