Cons:

We kwamen niet binnen omdat mijn verloofde 17 is .
Er was geen manier om haar binnen te krijgen we hebben de nacht niet kunnen doorbrengen in het hotel en hebben in nood iets anders moeten regelen . Ik ben hier helemaal niet blij mee en ik plaats daarom ook een slechte recentie op de site

Disappointing overall, but good enough for one night if you book in advance.
Pros:

Hm. Impressive looking, close to the event I went to, but I expected more - it was my first time in a Van der valk hotel. The room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

The room seemed basic for what appeared a better hotel. Tiny single beds - where there was loads of space for bigger beds and I asked for a double. Mattress was pretty poor, coffee facilities very meagre and poor quality - although I do appreciate that there was a kettle at all, many in NL don’t have any coffee facilities. No ironing facilities although the description said there would be. Room decor was tired and needs a refresh. The bathroom was great though.

Heerlijk weekendje rotterdam! We houden van blijdorp
Pros:

Locatie met gratis parkeren. Maar ook het restaurant serveert goed ontbijt en diner

Cons:

Roomservice kan je aansturen via whats app en ai bot. Die kwam niet helemaal aan. Klein minpuntje.
Pompje van de douchegel in de
Douche deed het niet. Kleine puntjes. Komen zeker terug

Hotel inkl. Rezeption gut. Restaurant würde ich meiden
Pros:

Sauber, sehr freundliche Mitarbeitende an der Rezeption

Cons:

Service im Restaurant völlig überfordert und könnten im Baumarkt arbeiten. Lange Wartezeiten und man fühlte sich nicht gewünscht.
