This is an upscale dormitory rather than a hotel. Lots of students who make use of rooms with kitchenette. Climate control in a large part of the hotel was down when I visited, so felt lucky to persuade an inexperienced receptionist to give me another room. The bed was comfortable but the room was not clean, with plenty of hair in the shower and dust on shelves. Plenty of social activities on the ground floor. Useful breakfast. Parking opportunities next to the hotel.

I did not like that as a guest, i have to go to the laundry room in the basement to iron my clothes. Nor did i like that there was no utensils, cups or plates in the room and i had to go to the reception to collect a basket of pots, pans, dishes ect and carry up to my room. This is not what i paid for. Its ridiculous.

Our checkin was pleasant and efficient. Shortly after arriving in our room my partner noticed some bug bites she had acquired in the room. We notified the front desk. They asked for photos as ‘proof’. We provided these. We were asked for clearer photos which we provided. We were told there would be a follow up and ‘investigation’ and we are still waiting four days later. In the event, we were moved to a new room but beyond this we received no apology or anything of further substance as compensation. Oh well, I guess the customer isn’t always right!

Hip hop hub

Came for the jazz festival and the hub was a convenient and affordable option. Friendly helpful staff, decent food, close to other bars and eateries and tram stops. There was no hip hop. I just like alliteration.

Great location, large room and social hub.

Spacious room and very well located next to a tram stop and some places to eat opposite too. The social hub, had plenty of social areas such as a nice bar and games space. The lift was slow and lights flickering and the room itself was great condition however some attention to carpet stains and curtain stains and some minor repairs to the corner of the wall. Otherwise the room was a delight, great condition bathroom looked recently refurbished. The bed was huge. Quiet and well equipped with coffee machine, fridge, microwave, cooker, safe and a desk with plenty of shelving. The staff were welcoming and friendly throughout. Just 3 stops on tram from Rotterdam Blaak which was able to take us into Amsterdam Zuid to continue our trip but also goes to the airport. The team also went to Rotterdam central where a train to Amsterdam Central can be caught. Lots to do in Rotterdam! We loved the zoo!

I arrived late, under the weather and tired. I walked in. I saw a reception area that looked like ... Gaza. The lady at the front desk was very nice, but this was not enough to make up for the shock of the reception area's condition. In comparison to similar properties in other countries (e.g. Singapore) the first impression was a mere disappointment. However, my room was large, clean, internet was problem-free, and dorm's public areas also in good condition. The room was very dark and when I asked for an extra desk lamp there was none to give me. In retrospect, for the same money I could have booked a proper hotel room. These types of places make sense for longer stays (week ).
