Very dirty room

Near Rotterdam Centraal, you can walk and tram everywhere. There was no AC and no air circulation what so ever. The windows barely open. It was 30 degrees celcius in the room. Otherwise, the bedding and pillows were good for a hostel.

Horrible, will never return to that place again and surely not under the actual management. Two years ago we stayed in that same property and it was very nice, clean and save. Under this new management it is horrible, we do NOT recommend staying at that place.

What I did not like about my stay at A&O Rotterdam City was that the lock for the bathroom has a gap meaning anyone could be watched whilst showering and/or using the toilet. This is a breach of privacy. Secondly, I feel the room could've been kept better care of, it attracted bugs and I have received multiple bites because of it. Something extra I want to add is that the elevator to the 2nd and 3rd floors, inside the elevator sometimes the button can take a few presses to flash and take someone to the floor number they chose. This can cause some anxiety especially since the same applies to the button that opens the doors too. This hostel is very convenient, but I feel it does need to improve. I would probably come again if I visit Rotterdam again but things do need to change.

Booked 2 rooms got 1

I booked 2 rooms. They apologized and said the room was the same. As I walked away they noticed my brother and niece. I had to tell them I booked 2rooms. They looked it up and said that's ok. At least it was only 1 night. The room had 2 side by side beds and a set of bunk beds. I didn't know I booked a hostel since I had filtered hostels out of my search . A little loud at night, but that is expected.
