Enjoyed our stay here

Hotel was lovely. Restaurant and bars were very nice and had a good vibe. Rooms were nice and clean. Dog was allowed everywhere so could sit in restaurant at dinner etc. would return if staying in Rotterdam. Bus stop very close to hotel, so good transport links to the centre.

Ok value for money, nice staff, but a bit rundown

Easy check in and out, staff helpful and friendly. Place is not as clean as it was when I visited 6 months ago and the room I had was a bit run down. Breakfast is not a bad selection, but overpriced as it’s quite poor quality. Overall the hotel is quite good value for money though and well located near the airport. Not well located if you need to be near the centre, but the local bus service is not bad.

In eerste instantie kregen we een kamer die ons wat tegen viel omdat we voor minder geld beter gewend waren bij Van der Valk. Maar het personeel heeft het meer dan goed gemaakt met een andere kamer die uitstekend was! Dit hotel ligt op een goede locatie. Het ontbijt is fantastisch, uitgebreider dan we bij andere hotels hebben gezien. Als je vervoer goed plant, rij spitsvrij bijvoorbeeld dan is het op deze plek in een drukke verkeerslocatie best te doen. Gewoon bij Diergaarde Blijdorp op het parkeerterrein parkeren in de buurt van de ingang van het hotel en soms heb je geluk en staan de bomen open om uit te rijden. Anders kost een uitrijkaart je vier euro bij de receptie van het hotel. Dat is een koopje vergeleken bij de prijs voor diezelfde uitrijkaart aan de kassa van Diergaarde Blijdorp voor een dag parkeren. Dan kost het je €12,50 voor een dag. Kortom eij vinden dit hotel een aanrader. Zeker voor mensen met een hond!
