to get started.

The location is in close proximity and within Rotterdam's cool district so expect parties during the night, especially if you stay over the weekend. Apart from the rooms, the bathroom, showers and common areas are really good!

We stayed in the private room of the King Kong hostel. The room was beautiful and spacious (a lot more spacious than other hotels in Rotterdam, and for a better price), with a private bathroom and comfortable bed. Everything was very clean and the staff super helpful and polite. The hostel is located in a lively street of Rotterdam with bars and restaurants on the doorstep. The room was located at the front, but we found the street "noise" quite tolerable.

It's a bit noisy due to the fact that it's located in the center of Rotterdam's nightlife (they give you free earplugs)
I really liked staying here. The staff was great, specially the guys, they had such a cool and fun vibe, rarely found in the Netherlands (in my experience). The room was very clean, spacious, and there was a pleasant fragrance!

Loud at night, room service was not there. I got my bed totally messy when I checked in. I expect better safety measures regarding the covid
Location was super central, a lot of bars nearby. Beds are okay, toilet is good. Free coffee for breakfast. Cheapest hostel that I could find in Rotterdam. Good design.

A bit noisy at night (till around 5am) since it's located in a very busy street but it didn't bother me at all.
First time in a hostel and it was great. Perfect for a big group. Ideal location near shops, bars and restaurants. Clean and modern hostel with very friendly staff!

Something to hang your towel on in the bathroom would've been nice. We also found a €10 deposit for a key card quite high, but you do as you would with a key: put it away safely. So we weren't that bothered by it either.
