Room was fine, not huge but plenty of room for us for one night. Room quiet and we slept really well and not far from the station at all.
Breakfast was OK as it was included, scrambled egg was rubbery and orange juice was horrible.

Location was great; near subway and train. The major problem was the bed…hard as a rock. Slept in 45 minute increments…had to move often to relieve pain. Please change the beds.

Upon arrival we were greeted and information was provided about the hotel (breakfast, ice location and elevator). The staff were all nice and answered our many questions about things to do and
Places to eat in Rotterdam. They instructed us about the various transport options and provided directions/suggestions. The room was clean except for the carpet which had stains (likely dropped coffee). We prefer firm mattresses and were pleasantly surprised to find such a great bed. First really good night’s sleep in two weeks (we are traveling for a couple months). We hope to be able to stay here again sometime.

Breakfasts were wonderful, very helpful staff. The bed was a little too firm. Great location near restaurants and shopping. Close to the central train station
