Better than a Hotel?

I probably won't be staying at a hotel in Rotterdam anytime soon! Really nice staff can sit around and chat with, complementary coffee. Really clean and great atmosphere. Everything looks brand new and is very clean.

Very well located within Rotterdam Central area. The area is a little busy and noisy because of all of the bars around, however it made it convenient when looking for a place to eat, etc. Museums, parks, and transportation are all within walking distance. Staff is young, dynamic, and always super friendly and helpful. We were two adults travelling and we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic Hostel

Best hostel experience I've ever had. Great location, free coffee, beautifuly maintained facility, breakfast offered on site, good kitchen available, lovely staff, spent lots of time sitting in the comfy chairs out side watching the world go by close to pubs , resturants and a good grocery store.. We were a group of 6 and would come back in a heart beat.

Very very nice hostel

Much larger than except, not difficult to find but you have to walk for a while. In downtown area, there are many bars and quite a lot young people there. Staffs are friendly. Facilities are very good and the design is beautiful. The hostel is very new so not many people living there.

I doubt its possible for a better hostel in Rotterdam

I doubt there is a better hostel in Rotterdam. The place is super clean. The staff is super friendly, particularly Alyssa and Buddy. Its easy to find by a 10 minute walk from the Central Train Station and is located on a street with plenty of nice places to stop for a bite to eat or drink with plenty of budget options to high end options. I was able to walk to all the places I wanted to see from here such as the Museum Park, Euromast, and Maritime Museum. Also was easy to find the water taxi for the World War II Exhibition of the Bombing of Rotterdam. Free coffee and tea around the clock. I wish breakfast was cheaper but with the same options. I wish the WIFI was more stable, particularly during peak times.

Unclear to misleading room description

Booked a private twin room. When we arrived found that we were in a dorm room with our two beds seperated off from the others by a curtain. I originally thought that this must be a mistake. When I brought this to the attention of the staff they said that this was the correct room and that it was an issue between the manager of the hostel and Expedia. The staff explained that they didn't have a spare twin room available and gave us a free breakfast as way of apology. As it was quite late and I was soaking wet, having been caught in a serious downpour cycling from Brugge, I didn't really feel like finding a new place to sleep and so accepted the breakfast and bed. The room and staff were perfectly nice just not what I was lead to believe I was booking.

If you DON'T want to sleep, go there

I reserved this hotel via this site, and they didn't even have our names my in their system, so where is the connexion King Kong - Expedia ?? Got a dorm instead... The rooms and the hotel have nice interior design, it's clean. But then came the night: it's a very loud street with many people having drinks etc. But from 00:00 on the bar next to the hostel put on extremely LOUD MUSIC, which went on until 04:30 in the morning (on a normal working day)... we complained and asked for another room, but in every room there was a lot of noise. The night was difficult (even with the ears stuffed). The next morning the hotel manager wasn't nice to at all, probably because we complained a little during the night to the night guard (who was actually friendly). So I wouldn't recommend this hostel at all, if you want to sleep at night. I guess if you want to hang out in a bar until the morning it's perfect.

For Budget friendly travellers. Value for money

Right in the middle of Witte. Really pretty hostel and price was affordable and helped to me to stay within budget. Brought a 24” luggage, couldn’t fit in the under bed locker but the room was big enough to store my luggage beside my bed. Within walking distances of multiple famous food places such as Supermercado and Bazar. Worth a visit!

La ubicación y la decoración me parecieron excepcionales y el personal muy amable. Lo único malo es que está justo en una calle muy concurrida, por lo tanto bulliciosa. Para mi por lo menos, la tranquilidad es primordial, aún así, si volviese a esta ciudad maravillosa, este hostel sería una de mis primeras opciones.
