Pretty bad overall experience (so far) I'm several nights…read moreinto my stay here (after being forced to get a bed here last minute because other accommodation in the city kicked me out without a reason) While the staff are nice here, they're about the only upside. To start with they charge "tourist tax regardless of where you're from or if you're in Rotterdam for work like I was. The photos are misleading, the rooms are sparse, outdated, uncomfortable with paper-thin windows that let all the noise in from the street. I know it's a hostel but in an area with a lot of nightlife, PLEASE get some better soundproofing. I never slept despite having earplugs in all night every night. It's made worse by a total lack of information and rules being enforced. Guests were bringing people in from the street at all hours to just fuck around and be loud throughout the building, and several of my roommates were on their phones through the night, and staff refused or ignored any attempts to get a quieter room or tell them to stfu. Cleanliness was awful, the showers look like something out of the gulag, and the fellow travellers, even for a cheap hostel, were so gross - one dude literally scratched his ass in the bed next to me, sniffed it, then wiped the brown on his sheet, and rolled over. WTF?! Seriously hoping for a refund on booking 26031 but I doubt they will acknowledge any negative feedback let alone fix it. Didn't try much of the food. It looked fine from what I saw others have but I had my own stuff.

The hostel you stay at and the people you meet will make or break the trip, so choose wisely!…read moreStaying at this hostel was one of the BEST decisions out of the many hostels we have stayed at for it's hospitality, cleanliness and the friends we made here! The hostel is near the Erasmus bridge so walking to city center will take about 10 minutes, which isn't bad. It's easy to find and has a lot of surrounding restaurants nearby as well as the supermarket. There's a tram/metro stop just outside the hostel on the same block so you can get there easily. This is a VERY social hostel with a bar in the common area and a variety of activities planned daily, which we LOVE because it's one of the reasons we stay at hostels! The hubby and I had had a private room on the 3rd floor called the "Love Room" by coincidence. There are plenty of restrooms and showers (some private some shared) on each floor and we never had any issues finding an open shower/toilet even though the hostel was always packed with travelers! We had the opportunity to participate in their Dutch Delight social night on Monday, the Food Tasting Tour on Tuesday, the 5 Euro burrito plus tequila night and the free walking tour on Wed night! Plus the DAILY happy hour from 7-9pm which includes 1,50 euro beer, wine and shots! We made numerous friends from all over the world while staying here that we appreciate all the kindness everyone has shown us! We even had a few young locals here show us the nightlife! Because we stayed in a private room, we received the upgraded breakfast for each night we stayed there. The breakfast was your basic coffee, tea, toast and cereal. Pretty typical but if you are hungry, the local market is just a block away. We also took advantage of the full kitchen in the basement so save some money. Laundry is available for YOU to use for 5 euros (you do your own) and it includes detergent. All the staff here are super friendly and helpful! I love that they too are social and participate in the activities to make us feel comfortable! Although everyone was great, the two that stood out the most for us was Angela and Carlos! Angela especially, was one of the nicest person I have ever met! When she checked us in, she gave us so much information about the city, what to do, where to go...etc. She also showed us how to play Sjoelen, a dutch shuffleboard type game, during Dutch Delight night, which was such a great way to start our stay here in Rotterdam! We also met one of the owners during the Food Walking tour and she was just the sweetest person! Always smiling and gave us so much information and history about this amazing city! I highly recommend staying here if you want to stay at a comfortable and clean room and if you want to meet some amazing people!

Bike rentals for $8.50/day…read more Man, I love this hotel! Just got done with a 2 week stay when I tagged along with my hubby who was working in nearby Papendrecht. HUGE room, a gorgeous pool, adequate fitness room, and a HOT sauna! Great bar. Nice pours of wine for $3.50 E. Staff is super friendly, downtown is a 10 minute bike ride away and the front desk has maps. I will ALWAYS stay here when I stay in Dordrecht from now on. The restaurant is fabulous as well, but portions are very large so be careful not to over order. Menus are available in English.

Den Haag Centraal is a modern railway station, serving The Hague centre, with connections to the…read morerailway, HTM trams and the Rotterdam Metro. The largest terminal station in the Netherlands, with easy connections to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Schipol. The station opened in the 1970s yet feels fresh and modern, with the recent renovation that was completed in 2017. Unlike most train stations in the Netherlands, you are able to get to most of the shops without a ticket or OV-chipkaart to pass through, the layout in terms of separating the shops and platforms is much more thought out here. There is a Starbucks inside the station with a small seating area, as well as a SPAR just outside the station, perfect for picking up essentials ahead of your trip. Easy to get around the station, and then exit towards the exciting The Hague Center. I would have expected more seats outside of the businesses inside the station, to sit while waiting for the train. 4*

And now for something totally unexpected…read more Loved the Free Walking Tour Rotterdam. When our cruise ended in Rotterdam, we decided to spend the night in the city before taking a train to go the Paris Olympics. What a beautiful city filled with so much history, interesting public art and unique architecture. Our tour guide, Nidas, was a wealth of information. Met at the Markthal Building which is nicknamed the pencil sharpener. This is near the Pencil Tower and Cube Houses, both designed by Piet Blom. As we walked, we learned more about the history of Rotterdam. During World War II, most of Rotterdam was destroyed. After the war unlike most European cities ravaged by war, a decision was made not to rebuild old structures. So unless a building or neighborhood survived, a unique post modern building or park was constructed in its place. Churches with woven lattice facades. Buildings made of cubes. Angles and curves. Each completely different. Of course, some historic buildings survived. The tour was amazing. Would definitely book again. One of our favorite tours on our adventure to The Netherlands. Make sure to tip your guide. Like many free walking tours, the guides make their salary based on the tip they receive after the tour.

My one complaint is the service was quite slow and we had to get back to Amsterdam for Anne Frank House, so I was very stressed during dinner. We started with bread served with whipped ricotta and the freshest pesto I've ever had. It was SO good. We also shared some seasonal roasted veggies which were really delicious. I had a pasta with a paprika sauce and provolone on top and it was awesome. The space itself is filled with lots of color and tons of natural light. My mom grabbed a few cookies from the bakery and she really enjoyed them. Although they were too crunchy for my taste. Overall, a really neat spot to have a meal.
