Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam - Blijdorp

“I am so satisfied with my New Year stay that I found all the "Van der Vlak" hotels in Europe for my future trips.”

“If you're ever staying in Rotterdam and have a car to get around Holland, this place is perfect. Family friendly, quiet, beside the zoo and lots of parking. Food was great, rooms are super clean and would stay again. We were visiting family all over Holland and this place looked good enough. It was better than expected.”

“Pros. It has Halal food, but only couple options. Clean. Service was fast when you ask for it. Quite. Paid parking through the hotel cost €4 every exit. It has snack store in the lobby. Management The resturant staff were very friendly. Checking in and out was easy. Cons. Standard Rooms kinda small for 2 adults. Twin beds too small for adults. Free parking area is limited.”

“Showers renovated, good sized rooms, stained carpet. Located walking distance from Rotterdam Zoo, and bus stop, but not to restaurants or the city. Service - Helpful with storing luggage, but not beyond that. Restaurant was horrible . . .spouse had on-line meeting when we arrived at dinner time & I was trying to find food. Asked @ front desk & they said I needed to ask restaurant. I waited forever for host to even acknowledge me & then when I asked if they had take-away was told "the Chef will not do that" Like the Front Desk doesn't know the Restaurant #IN# the hotel doesn't do take-away?!?! Then the the most ironic "service" came when I bought over-priced Ramen noodles from the self-serve convenience stand in the lobby. . .that had no disposable utensils to go with the Ramen noodles. Asked Front Desk, they sent me to the restaurant - again. Restaurant Host deems to return & when asked for utensils looks flabbergasted and actually says: "You're asking me for flatware" He gave me a fork (for Ramen noodles) only after my saying the Front Desk said he would. Sad service for Van der Valk prices . . .”
