There isn't much to do in Rotterdam, however if you do plan to go to Rotterdam, I really enjoyed the 4-bed room that I was in. The room was very clean, brightly lit, and inviting. The staff were very helpful and nice as well. The hostel is easily accessibly via public transit and bike paths, but is a tad far from the main shopping center and central station.

Good but a bit noisy
I stayed in the private room in the top floor. The room was comfortable with cute decoration and coffee making amenities, but there's no lift and the stairs are steep. The shared bathroom was clean but had only one shower for the entire floor. The breakfast was very basic but adequate, and the kitchen has all the necessary equipment and it's tidy. I really liked the sitting room/lobby. Some downsides were the noise from the other rooms and the smell because some guests leave their shoes in the hallway.

smelly socks issue
Across the world, "smelly suffocation from travelers’ socks" is a worse nightmare in every hostel dormitory to sleep away the tiresome travelling. This is extremely a real concern to every guest. In fact, hostels are very functional facility for millions of budget travelers. Hence seriously, hosts should give second thought to get rid of this smelly issue 1. Should clean travelers’ feet before entering the dorms. 2. Keep the socks and shoes outside the dorms. 3. So, washrooms and footwear-shelves need to be installed outside the dorms.

Overall a nice stay. Building a bit oldish (don’t trust the photo!) but overall clean. Good space in room for 8. Cosy common area. For a free breakfast, was pretty good. Some noise from party downstairs at 1 am (despite « quiet » time from 11 pm), but didn’t disturb sleep too much. Apart from that, area is nice and quiet. Don’t forget padlock for your bag locker in the room. Staff was super, super friendly.

Good but pricy
Great volunteers, management over worka them. Staff do not seem to have uniform policies / training. Free breakfast is crackers & jam, not sufficent for me, but if you’re broke it will start your day. Building is old and lovely, rooms are nicely themed / decorated. I would glasdly stay again but 30 euro a night + tax is too much IMO.

Amazing hostel for a good price
I stayed fo one night, but the rooms are really comfortable. I'm 6ft and this is the first time I slept quite comfy in a hostel bed. The bathrooms are outside the room, but are super clean and spacious. The place itself is a little old, but shows good mantenaince. Overall was perfect, perhaps it should have shower toiletries and towel included in the price.

Twin room weekend break
My friend and I stayed in a twin room on the third floor - 'Droom'. Our expectations were low having stayed in other hostels, however the room was well lit with individual bed lamps, the decor was chic and generally pretty, there were clean towels and sheets for us, and a bottle of water with two glasses on arrival. The reception we got was warm, friendly and very helpful. The only downside was the fact that the Hotels.com page for the hostel had noted that there would be a fridge in the room and there clearly wasn't. However the advice and help that we got from staff throughout our stay more than made up for that omission - also, there are two fridges in the basement kitchen! Would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn't mind a shared bathroom and a few stairs to climb. The location was excellent for both exploring the town as well as the beautiful harbour and Het Park. Very cool bar and lounge area too, looking forward to going back!

Sorry to hear your stay didn't meet your expectations. As in many other hostels we do ask payment upfront, this is a common practice all around the world. Our staff goes the extra mile and beyond to help the guests during their stay, food can be eaten in the guest kitchen, bathrooms are checked regularly... on your comment is not really clear what happened but we would love to receive an email from you explaining further where we can improve. We wish you further the best on your future travels.

역에서 걸어서 25분정도 걸렸어요. 평지라서 캐리어끌고 가도 괜찮았어요. 여성전용 6인실 사용했는데, 다른 호스텔에 비해 방 크기가 좀 작았어요. 침대아래 사물함이 있는데 개인 자물쇠가 필요해요. 없으면 호스텔에서 구매가능한 듯해요. 조그만 자물쇠는 안되고 고리가 큰 자물쇠여야 잠겨요. 목조로 된 건물이라 방안에서 걸을때마다 소리가 나서 아침에 발소리로 알람해주는 느낌이었어요. 방이 작아서 소리가 더 크게 들리는 듯해요. 무료조식은 빵, 커피, 요거트, 시리얼, 햄, 치즈, 사과, 각종 잼과 버터류 이렇게 나와요. 프리인거 감안해서 나쁘지 않았어요. 전반적으로 괜찮았어요

호텔같은 호스텔
위치는 중심가와 다소 떨어져 있으나(ex. Markthal 까지 도보 약 25분) 7번 트램 westplein 정거장 바로 앞이라 이동시 트램 이용 꼭 추천합니다. 스탭들 매우 친절하였으며 체크인,아웃 시 불편함 없게 배려해주는 인상이었습니다. 다만 엘레베이터가 없어 캐리어 운반이 (매우!) 힘들었고(3층 더블룸 숙박) 욕실 화장실 깨끗하고 개별 칸막이 있으나 숫자가 넉넉한 편은 아닙니다. 체크아웃 이후 짐보관도 가능했고 와이파이도 문제없었습니다. 전체적으로 낡은 느낌 있으나 청결히 관리 되어 있고 야간에 주변도 조용한 편이며 근처에 큰 슈퍼(albert heijn) 가 있어 편리합니다.

Good for service and the location is next to a tram station, easy to access. The cheap price is including the breakfast. The enviroment of common room is so warm and the bar supplies different types beer! If the hostel supplies shampoo and bath saop at the shower room will be better (It can obtain at the reception.) The socket is far from the bed (My bunk bed is upward.)

トラム７番、Westplein駅から目と鼻の先にあります。Rotterdam Centraal駅から徒歩で向かうことも可能ですが、やや遠いという印象です。ホステルは賑やかな雰囲気で、23:00頃まで生演奏が行われる日もありました。シャワー、トイレは部屋にはなく、階ごとに設置されています。朝食は基本的に無料ですが、パンとコーヒー・ヨーグルト程度の簡素なものでした。スタッフには親切にしていただき、感謝しています。
