Top Blijdorp Zoo Hotel Reviews

The James Hotel Rotterdam

8/10 Good

"Centrally located hotel within a 10-15 minute walk from Rotterdam Centraal train station. Great for sight seeing and easy Metro access. Soundproofing in the hotel could be better as traffic noise ( horns and revving engines) in to the early hours on both Friday and Saturday nights could easily be heard. Mentioned to hotel staff."

NH Atlanta Rotterdam

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to train station and shops/restaurants. Comfy bed and good size. It was noisy at night due to the traffic as the window was not sound proof and they didn't clean the cups or surfaces - just made the bed and fresh towels"

Holiday Inn Express Rotterdam - Central Station by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms very clean and roomy. Nice location. Breakfast very good. Was able to leave bags after checking out. No ice bucket or fridge- maybe cultural thing? Overall really enjoyed stay"

Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam - Blijdorp

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely big, clean room. Great comfy bed. Excellent parking options and we were able to charge our car overnight too. Would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area."

Urban Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice location and appartment"

H3 Hotel Rotterdam City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn't ask for a better location, the place was great and the staff was even better"

Hilton Rotterdam

8/10 Good

"Room nice and quiet and clean . Lift space seems a bit shabby but otherwise ok . Breakfast ok but sausages and bacon could be better."

Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very nice stay at the hotel and I would absolutely recommend it. It is located in an ideal spot in the city close to the train station and most tourist attractions with Depot and Sonnevelde House literally next door. The staff were extremely helpful when we had a few requests and were a credit to the hotel. My only small gripe is that there aren’t enough staff on at breakfast so certain options would run out quite often. The staff were rushed off their feet and still extremely helpful but they need more help. Overall I highly recommend the hotel and would definitely stay again if we visit Rotterdam."

Hotel Rose Rotterdam

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay! The staff were friendly & helpful. The hotel is located in a perfect area- near the water and many restaurants. Breakfast was excellent and beds comfy. Would definitely stay again"
