Citizen M

Top choice in Rotterdam


A new-generation hostel for travellers who have progressed past dorms and shared bathrooms but want to recreate the casual conviviality of backpacker joints, Citizen M is as welcoming as it is well located. Capsule-like rooms are comfortable enough, with Smart TVs offering channels and free movies. The 1st floor bar, cafe and lounge are super-stylish spaces where you can relax or work.

Breakfast costs €17, €14 if prebooked. Parking costs €19.50.
