Reviews
Very friendly and charming
Comfortable bed and a quiet restful sleep 👍
A beautiful historic building, well-maintained, and friendly staff! Very affordable too.
What a wonderful hotel: fantastic service, beautiful rooms with everything you need, good amenities (everything works and is clean), tastefully decorated, and a delicious breakfast buffet with a garden view. And all of this in the heart of Rotterdam, within walking distance of the city center.
It officially has a 3-star rating, but for us, it deserves more!
Cons: thin walls, tired facilities
