Top Esse Hotel Reviews

Room Mate Bruno, Rotterdam

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stopped at this hotel previously so knew it was a really good hotel. Our recent trip again didn’t disappoint. As previous the place was immaculately clean and the staff as brilliantly friendly and helpful. You can book parking directly under the hotel which great. I’d most definitely stop again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend."

The James Hotel Rotterdam

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at The James twice during our visit to the Netherlands. First time we were located on the 3rd floor, good sized room, large shower, soundproofing great. The second time on the 11th floor, again a good sized room, although I preferred the third floor. Bath and shower in this room which was great. Didn’t use the 2nd floor amenities but had a look and there was a great selection available. Close to everything - station, shops, restaurants and sights. Reception team were lovely and very helpful when the national transport strike was confirmed, assisting us in getting to Eindhoven via taxi. Would recommend."

The Usual Rotterdam

8/10 Good

"This is an eco-friendly hotel. Most of the structure, furniture, etc. have been made by companies using recycled materials. It has an interesting lobby with access to a variety of coffees, snacks, and a sitting area. We stayed in a double room with a private bathroom.The rooms are basic, but have everything one needs. The toilet, sink, and shower areas are all separate in the room, giving privacy. The double bed was against the wall, making it difficult for older people to get out of bed without crawling over their partner. We were pleased with the accommodation, but if you are looking for a luxury hotel, this is not for you."
