Rotterdam has a good range of accommodation options, with something to suit all tastes and budgets. The majority of hotels in Rotterdam are mid-range, though there are plenty of 4-star options as well as a couple of luxury 5-star establishments.
One of the city’s 5-star hotels is the Manhattan Hotel (formerly the Westin), which is conveniently located opposite Rotterdam Central Station in the city centre. It is also just moments from the Holland Casino and the Maritime Museum. For views of the River Maas and Rotterdam’s famous Euromast tower, visitors should request a south facing room.
Situated on the Kop van Zuid (south bank) – a former harbour area – is the 4-star Suitehotel Pincoffs, a charming designer hotel that is housed in a listed building dating back to 1879. The hotel overlooks the famous Erasmus Bridge and the river Maas, and is close to a tram and metro stop providing 5 minute rides into the city centre.
If you’d prefer to stay in the cultural heart of Rotterdam, then you may want to consider one of the six spacious rooms in A Small Hotel, where each room is styled on a theme, such as Asian or American Western. This novelty hotel is located on the Witte de Withstraat, which is lined with fashion stores, galleries and restaurants, and is also just moments from Rotterdam’s main art museum – the Boymans van Beuningen.
An excellent mid-range option is the family-owned, 3-star Hotel van Walsum, which is part of a row of traditional Dutch townhouses in the centre of Rotterdam. This hotel is 400 metres from the Art Museum, and a quick taxi ride from several other attractions including Rotterdam Zoo and the harbour.
Visitors with their own transport may enjoy the proximity of the 4-star Novotel Rotterdam Brainpark to a main highway that connects Rotterdam to Amsterdam. Located in an exclusive business park and offering free parking to residents, this hotel is 5 minutes by car and 20 minutes by public transport from Rotterdam city centre.
