Top Blijdorp Zoo Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Rotterdam - Central Station by IHG

8/10 Good

"The facility was unusual. It was a bit obscure to find as there were no large signs as we are used to here in the states so we almost missed it. I found it a bit unusual to have to take the elevator to the second floor to check in. The check in area was small and pretty crowded when we got there. The staff was amazing. So friendly and smiling all the time. I can't say enough about how great they all were! The breakfast was great! Very crowded but that is a great thing to see the hotel was servicing so many people. One of my biggest surprises was how small and compact the room was. It was sufficient but was very very small. The bathroom was beautiful but being on the first floor the drain did not drain very quickly. Over all I would stay there again but I would be prepared for the small room and possible business at the counter. I would like to have been able to give it 4.5 stars!"

H3 Hotel Rotterdam City Center

10/10 Excellent

"very nice"

Rotterdam Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean, and adequate for 2 people and 2 medium suitcases. Beds were comfy but the air conditioning was difficult to find a comfortable setting. Sometimes it worked and others it didn't. Shower is very small and ours had an issue where water leaked out from under the door where we had to place towels to absorb the water and prevent a slippage accident. Definitely recommend getting the breakfast package. You can order from the menu and the buffet bar. Fitness center had a good assortment of machines and free weights, and the space was adequate which also included showers."

Boutique Hotel Milano Rotterdam-Center

"My train was late arriving but the reception team waited until I arrived. The breakfast buffet gad a good choice of items. A single room is small but perfectly adequate. The hotel is well located fir exploring Rotterdam."

Hotel is very close to shopping center…actually right down the street!!! Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to all!!!"

Hotel Not Hotel Rotterdam

10/10 Excellent

"Last time I was in Rotterdam, I stayed in a hotel that cost 3 x as much, and I enjoyed my stay here much more, it is quirky but great for one or two nights, the bed was really comfortable, the shower was lovely. There is no TV in the room nor outside window should that matter to you....normally not being able to open a window is a pain point for me as I hate air con, but it was no problem and I slept really well. Very close to the train station, I plan on staying here again when I am next in town."

"Clean room, and good breakfast. Laundry facility is being renovated."

Hotel Middelland Rotterdam

"Notre séjour était super. Le personnel était convivial, la chambre était propre et les commodités parfaites. Les fruits et le café étaient gratuits. Ce fût une attention que nous avons grandement appréciée. Nous étions bien situé, un secteur calme avec les transports à proximité. Une marche de 20 minutes pour se rendre à la gare centrale de Rotterdam."
