A welcome addition to Rotterdam's limited array of midrange hotels, this centrally located place opened in 2018 and offers good-sized, well-equipped rooms that are comfortable but lack character. The unmanned convenience-store set-up on the first floor is strange, but does allow guests to purchase wine, milk, breakfast items and ready-made meals. Service can be brusque. Parking costs €25 per 24 hours.
