A budget option in an emergency situation where prices in town went through the roof and basically just wanted a bed for a few hours - this place was brilliant and exceeded my not high expectations - brilliant budget option.

8/10 - would stay again.
Very close to centraal station (about 8 minute walk), plus a major tram line stop directly outside the hotel. Staff is great. There was a small (solvable) issue in my room and the staff fixed it within 10 minutes. Very much a no-frills European hotel room, but it’s clean and safe (security guard on site in the evening)

Not fancy but a nice play tonstay for a night. They have a bar where you can purchase drinks or food for a very cheap price. Ask for the pooltable. It is in a hidden room. I would go to this place again if I need a 1 night stay in Rotterdam. It is like 10-15 minute walking from the train station

Nice stay
We had an ok night. We stayed on the 5th floor and had a nice view. Cozy with a small terrace.
The room was nice, but the mattresses were very hard and no spring in the bed, so that part was a bit uncomfortable.
The area was nice, and ok distance to most things.
We stayed as a family of 4, and otherwise nothing to complain about

The staff were really friendly. Area is great, just 9 mins walk to Rotterdam Centraal. Tram station is near 1 min maybe. Rooms are clean, but u cant expect luxus. Its a hostel and very cheap. But gud for the price. Only negative there are so many people, if they are drunk its loud outside ur room. Otherwise it was gud.

The room was tidy and had all basic necessities in place. The breakfast spread was also very nice, and had good variety. The community kitchen however, was not in the best of shape, with some amenities straight up not working. Really appropriate the luggage storage facilities provided, as we reached early and needed to drop our luggage for a few hours before we could check in. Staff was very helpful, thought being a hostel, they maybe not be available allt all times like a hotel, which is perfectly acceptable. The location is easily accessible from both Rotterdam centraal and Trams, though the area by itself doesn't have much to see or explore.

Room were clean and bunks were decent however unfortunately my charging socket in the bunk did not work. There was also only one tray under each bunk rather than 2 if you wanted to look your valuables away. Dorms had an en-suite shower and toilet which was clean and modern.
They had luggage storage, WiFi was reasonable and they had a nice bar area at the front. It also has parking which a lot of hostels don’t have.
Hostel is situated about an 5minute walk from the central station. It is about 10-15minute walk into the centre and another 10-15walk to the waterfront.
Overall this is a good modern hostel.
