Great location next to Rotterdam Central station. Room was exceptionally clean and all kitchen items clean too. Very quiet room, good range of TV channels and all the facilities worked well. The reception staff were always friendly, helpful and interested in ensuring we had a great stay. Gym is acceptable ...
