Carlton Beach
Lovely stay. Great view to the beach with easy access. Hotel is located toward the end of the beach which was quiet but yet near everything close by. Convenient with the parking garage right near the hotel.

Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam
Very comfortable and clean, perfect for our short break. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the accommodation is located in the city centre so it is easy to explore the city, and there are lots of shops and eateries within a short walking distance. Would happily stay again!

The room was nice and clean, and affordable. Hotel is somewhat off the beaten path but right next to the bus station. A 24hr casino selling booze all night=BONUS !!!!
