I enjoyed my stay here. The location was great and close to many shops and cafes. The room was clean and worked well for my needs. The bathroom was a touch dated, however it was more than suitable. The staff were friendly and assisted me with laundry services which was absolutely clutch for only traveling with a carry on for several weeks.

Lovely Hotel

For a first time trip to Rotterdam, we were very pleased with Hotel Van Walsum. The neighborhood is quiet but has restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Everyone at the hotel was friendly and very helpful. Our room included breakfast which was very good.

Good location, walkable from Rotterdam central station but also only a few steps away from the tram stop which goes directly to the station. Quiet location with lots of restaurant options around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though I asked a stupid question about why I needed the elevators to get to my room on the first floor (in North America first floor = ground floor), the receptionist was patient in explaining to me. They also helped answer questions about transportation around the city. It’s a great value property.

Godt hotel i gåafstand til seværdighed.

Et hyggeligt hotel i gåafstand til centrum og seværdigheder. Personalet var venlige og servicemindede. Vi boede på et stort comfortværelse med gode lænestole, køleskab og en lille altan. God og varieret morgenmad. Der er en del gadestøj. Parkering var lidt besværlig med dog mere tryg og billigere end gadeparkering. Hotellet har en hyggelig lille gårdhave. Der er en del caféer og restauranter i området.

The hotel is aged but the furniture and care is quite well. It was a comfortable stay. The biggest problems are floor creaks (expected) and in my room corridor light was visible from sides of the door which was not ideal.
