Very very nice hostel

Much larger than except, not difficult to find but you have to walk for a while. In downtown area, there are many bars and quite a lot young people there. Staffs are friendly. Facilities are very good and the design is beautiful. The hostel is very new so not many people living there.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very well located within Rotterdam Central area. The area is a little busy and noisy because of all of the bars around, however it made it convenient when looking for a place to eat, etc. Museums, parks, and transportation are all within walking distance. Staff is young, dynamic, and always super friendly and helpful. We were two adults travelling and we enjoyed our stay.

For Budget friendly travellers. Value for money

Right in the middle of Witte. Really pretty hostel and price was affordable and helped to me to stay within budget. Brought a 24” luggage, couldn’t fit in the under bed locker but the room was big enough to store my luggage beside my bed. Within walking distances of multiple famous food places such as Supermercado and Bazar. Worth a visit!

La ubicación y la decoración me parecieron excepcionales y el personal muy amable. Lo único malo es que está justo en una calle muy concurrida, por lo tanto bulliciosa. Para mi por lo menos, la tranquilidad es primordial, aún así, si volviese a esta ciudad maravillosa, este hostel sería una de mis primeras opciones.

Ottimo e centrale, si trovano tanti altri espatriati in cerca di casa, e qualche interrail. Il posto è in uno dei quartieri notturni quindi di sera c'è del discreto vociare.

我住宿兩晚 但好像需要再換房卡 因為我第二天出門回來 感應不進去 後來跟櫃台人員確認 它有在換一張房卡給我 這點在安全上做得還不錯 飯店本身好像是咖啡廳 環境不錯 附近很多東西吃 只是因為位於很熱鬧的地方 如果半夜怕吵的人可能會睡不著 不過整體來說算滿不錯的！

One night in Rotterdam

This is a really great spor and by far one of my best hostel experiences.I needed a bed for the night because I was leaving early the next morning and it was unbelievably clean! Also, the service was bar none the best I’ve ever had. The staff are fun, friendly, and so knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Only thing to keep in mind is that if you are staying in a mixed dorm you will need to hike to the top floor which is three levels so pack light. Nevertheless, they also helped me with my luggage and agreed to store if I needed it and again just fabulous service. There is a bar on the main level and people were partying late into the night but I had no trouble going to sleep.
