Hostel ROOM Rotterdam

Room Type: 8 p Deluxe room(Sport) The rooms are very spacious, and there is extra care given to ensure complete privacy in this pod kind of space. Due to the weather conditions, the individual ventilators were a compulsion for this room during my stay, this room offers individual ventilators for each pod so thats like a great advantage. the diadvantage that gives is the socket is never free if you want to use your charger, they have provided usb ports for this purpose, however i was the unlucky one whose pods' usb ports were not working. The staff was kind enough to change my bed and also try to sort the issue for me but unfortunately could not manage that. Thus a 4 star instead of a deserved 5 :). All in all highly recommend the place, the staff are a gem who are always there to help and if you are in the sport room, try taking the corner bed(lower/upper) the window is just next to it and its better ventilated than the other beds. Since there is no bed tagging, you might just get lucky :)

Fascinating historical building. The staff were brilliant and very helpful. Breakfast is worth it also at €6. The 5 bed dorm wasn't the best though with only small lockers, no air conditioning and limited plug sockets. I didnt get much sleep due to other people coming in throughout the night / early morning and the bunks were quite shaky and noisy to turn over in. USB A sockets wouldn't work and there were a few trailing & exposed cables. The Goki App was a bit of a gimmick, didn't work for me and I'm afraid of my personal data being stolen from it to be honest. Most people used individual door codes anyway which sometimes were hit & miss. There were nice personal touches around, but I think they would score higher for me if they modernised some essential things like larger lockers, updating the male showers on the 3rd floor, accessible charging sockets, better bunks (maybe solid wood attached to the walls?) and a better door entry system. It seemed like there were lots of other events happening downstairs during the week and it was a pretty chilled place to hang around in with a nice bar. Vinea (apologies for spelling) gave me some good tips on local attractions.
