Andrew R. Friends - 4/18/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The single beds were little bit uncomfortable for the larger gentlemen. But other then that it was lovely

Dear Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. It’s great to know you enjoyed your visit overall. However, we apologize for the inconvenience with the beds and have noted your feedback to enhance future comfort. Our central location is designed to make travel effortless, and we’re pleased it served you well. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Best wishes, Twan Trapman, Front Office Supervisor

Jorden J. V. Solo - 4/15/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

This hotel is in a very convenient location if you need to be at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Staff at reception was very friendly and welcoming and the room is spacious and at first sight looks comfortable. Unfortunately, the beds are extremely soft though. That is of course a matter of personal preference and some guests may like the soft mattresses, but I couldn't sleep on them. Fortunately, there was a sofa in the room that was large enough to sleep on and much more comfortable than the beds;-) I might stay here again because of the location, but in terms of beds this would probably not be my first choice.

Dear Jorden J.. We thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Your commendation of our strategic location and attentive staff is greatly valued. We are equally pleased the room’s size met your requirements. Still, we apologize for the challenges encountered with the bedding setup. Each guest’s comfort is essential, and we take such feedback seriously. Our proximity to both academic institutions and leisure spots like Kralingse Bos remains a highlight many guests appreciate. We trust it contributed positively to your stay in Rotterdam. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Twan Trapman, Front Office Supervisor

Fausto L. Business - 4/13/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel maintains a good standard of cleanliness and the rooms are high-quality, though a bit dimly lit. The location was perfect for my conference, and the surrounding university area is lively and well-connected to the city center via the nearby station. However, the service experience was mixed: the reception staff felt somewhat cold, and the restaurant service needs improvement. At breakfast, there was no guidance on the food layout ( searched for something several times and no one proposed support), and during dinner, I had to raise my hand multiple times to get any attention from the staff (without success). A more guest-oriented approach would definitely elevate the experience.

Dear Fausto, Thank you for choosing our hotel and for sharing your review. We are pleased to note your positive remarks about the high standards of cleanliness and the quality of your room during your recent stay. However, we sincerely regret that certain aspects of our service did not meet your expectations. Our team is committed to providing attentive and personalized hospitality, and your comments surrounding the restaurant and breakfast experiences have been taken into serious consideration. It is wonderful to hear that our location near the university area and convenient transport connections contributed positively to your business trip. We trust that the lively surroundings added a pleasant dimension to your visit. We hope to have the occasion to welcome you back in the near future. Kind regards, Twan Trapman, Front Office Supervisor

Claire V. G. Families - 4/13/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

This is a great hotel. I regularly stay in Novotel and it was actually the first time this was acknowledged upon arrival. We got a great deal on the rooms and we enjoyed the view over Rotterdam. We had dinner in the hotel one night, which was nice but the only thing that was ‘forgettable’ about the hotel, it didn’t stand out. Easy check-out. All good. Would recommend!

Dear Claire, Thank you for letting us know your impressions. We’re so pleased your family enjoyed the room benefits and panoramic views. Recognizing our loyal guests is a priority, and we’re glad this enhanced your experience. Your mention of the check-out process and our front office team’s service motivates us to keep improving. Even more, we’re excited to offer even better culinary experiences next time you visit. We hope you will return for another memorable stay. Best wishes, Twan Trapman, Front Office Supervisor

Soundarya M. Business - 4/10/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall the stay was comfortable. But the gym opens at 7 AM, which is too late for working people. It needs to be accessible by atleast 6 AM, so that there is enough time to work-out, fresh-up, and head to meetings before 8:30 AM. Hope you consider this feedback.

Dear M., Thank you for reviewing your visit to our hotel. We’re pleased you found our accommodations comfortable and suitable for your trip. Regarding your note on facility hours, we acknowledge the need for flexibility and will take your input into account. Thank you again for highlighting areas where we can improve. We hope to welcome you again on a future occasion. Best regards, Twan Trapman, Front Office Supervisor
