"Hotel was close to Rotterdam Central rail station. However, access was impeded due to major road works on the street outside the hotel. Some upgrade work was also being carried out inside the property. Breakfast was very adequate. The room was medium to small, but more than adequate. Staff were friendly and helpful."
