Starting from the time I first enter the hostel, I was mesmerized by the environment and staff’s attitude. Everyone was so friendly. It has a lovely garden and common areas were clean and neat. This is the place to be for a wonderful stay in your Rotterdam trip.

Tuna Turkey

Fast check-in and convenient location. 7 minutes to the central station.

Ruiqi Canada

Great location, helpful lovely staff, comfortable beds, very clean facilities.

Mustafa Germany

The location is amazing (5min to Rotterdam Centraal by foot). There is a common room where you can talk to other travelers, we ended up going to a bar together. In one evening they offered home-made food, which I didn't expect in a hostel. (It was great.) The (super friendly) staff knows the region, they can recommend attractions to see and bars to go to etc.

Wolfgang Germany

The breakfast bufet was amazing, the staff super nice, everyone was so friendly. Of course I will go back. The best hostel in Rotterdam, you can have amazing chats on the kitchen, the ambiance is always incredible.
