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.

We had a reservation for a double bed, a bunk bed with tv and we got a room with 3 bunkbeds without tv. The room was dirty (with fake eyelashes from the previous guest in the bathroom and chewing gum on the beds) We paid 200 euros for a night (4p).

A clean place.

A clean, tidy hostel. Super cheap room. My only complaint was that my roommates (in a shared room) all snored very loudly and came and went at all times of the night. I think some were Uber eats riders, so kept very unsociable hours. However, that’s not the fault of the hostel!
