otimo custo beneficio
Pros:

Otimo custo beneficio, com um quarto muito confortável, excelente ducha (a melhor da viagem entre hotéis 4 estrelas), café no quarto, porem o isolamento acústico é muito ruim, como dormimos bem, isso não incomodou e fez ser o melhor custo beneficio da viagem, muito perto da estação de tram que para na frente e a 6 minutos da estação central.

Cons:

ter que depositar 100,00 de calção.

Goed hotel als je de Engelse taal machtig bent Zeker geen hotel voor oudere mensen
Pros:

De locatie was voor ons perfect omdat we afspraken hadden in het erasmus

Cons:

Alles in hotel is in het Engels
Vandaar dat we ook best veel moeite hadden om de ingang te openen
Ook staat alles in het hotel in het Engels ook wel soms in andere talen maar het Nederlands ontbreekt overal ook al bevind rotterdan zich volgens ons nog steeds in Nederland

Good location. Despite what I said above cleanliness satisfactory.
Pros:

Very good café nearby. However I can’t recall being informed that breakfast was off-site. Fortunately I enjoyed dry weather. I might not have been so sanguine if I had been soaking wet in the rain every morning.

Cons:

Perhaps more attention to housekeeping. Appeared clean but encountered several long black hairs which were definitely not mine.

Oké
Pros:

Het ontbijt was heerlijk, weliswaar op een andere locatie dan het hotel zelf, nl. in een brasserie iets verderop in de straat. Daar waren ze heel gastvrij, kon je werken op je computer terwijl je er at, werd er voor mij wat afgewisseld in ontbijt.

Cons:

De onpersoonlijkheid. Ik gruw van hotels waar je met een code binnen moet, waar geen receptie is, waar geen personeel aanwezig is. Dan is het enkel een slaapplaats en is het geen beleving meer.

Zoek verder
Cons:

Locatie in een beetje gure buurt, zou als vrouw alleen hier niet over straat gaan. De prijs kwaliteit verhouding was erg zoek… €200 voor een kamer waar je je kont niet kunt keren…. Ze vragen ook een €100 depot voor als je gebruik wil maken van bepaalde faciliteiten. Echter zijn er totaal geen faciliteiten, geen bar/zelfbedieningbar af andere faciliteiten. In de “gezamenlijke ruimte” wel gratis koffie thee en water te krijgen. Je moet alles zelf doen mij de check in/out. De badkamer was erg zielig, na het douchen stond alles blank.
Voelde me qua prijs bestolen….. voor een hostel niveau veeeel te duur

Fair price but it and airing need improvement
Pros:

Fair price, good shower, clean sheets room and bed.

Cons:

It smelled like aggressive cleaning fluids, please open a window after using that stuff.
No info about 100 euro borg.
Qr code send bij email was not usable to open the door. Staff had to help me.
