Hotels near Speelplaats in Rotterdam

We stayed at The James for 5 nights in the middle of July. It's a nice hotel - centrally located that' s walking distance to the train station, restaurants and attractions. The room we stayed in was a good size and nicely appointed. As part of the package we had use of 2 bikes for a full day. We took the bikes out on July 19 for a ride around Kinderdijk, which was about 20km away by waterbus. One of the bikes felt sluggish from the start but we attributed the problem to underinflated tires. Unfortunately, that wasn't the issue. It was making a loud pinging noise when it was put in reverse as in backing out of a bike rack on the ferry. The pedals were freewheeling as soon as we started riding when we came off the ferry. I emailed the hotel about the issue immediately but didn't hear anything back for over half an hour. A local pointed us to a bike shop 2 km away and off we went. This was the hottest day (39 C) the Netherlands had experienced in over a decade and we had almost 60 km to cover, so we wanted an earlier start. By the time the hotel emailed us back we were already at the bike shop getting it fixed. There's simply no way that we'd wait another hour or 2 for the hotel to send help. The mechanic was so disappointed with the bike's condition that he said the hotel should pay for the repair and that they may call him if they had any questions. The front desk told us their bike supplier would likely pay us back for the repair but 3 weeks later we're still waiting. The point is: I took the bike from the hotel, not their supplier. Any reasonable hotel would compensate their customers and deal with their supplier on their own. I'm not going to get too upset losing 35 euros but this shows how terrible customer service is with this hotel. You may stay there and it should be OK as long as nothing goes wrong.

Excellent stay. We were only one night but the hotel was nice and quiet. The bathroom, though small is really nice and the shower is excellent. I didn't find any negative point. Maybe the distance from the center, but you can shorten using the means.

Just good. The rooms were small without wardrobes. Breakfast very good. The interior decoration of the hotel is amazing. A big advantage is that it is almost next to the central station. To go to the center you need a bus. On foot it is about 20-30 minutes

I stayed in this hotel a few weeks for a conference a few weeks ago. I had no problem with the room. I stayed in a double room which was very comfortable to sleep in. The shower was also excellent. So far so good. I only had breakfast at the hotel which was fine. It had a nice selection of local produce between hot foods, cold meats, cheeses and pastries. The customer service was fine and I had no problems though other colleagues had problems. I don't understand how there are so few staff for breakfast but there is a lot of staff for evening service. Just an observation. The main problem I had with this hotel is that it is in the middle of nowhere. Apart from the zoo, there is nothing around apart from an industrial area across the road. I went for a walk and it is 20-25 minutes walk to the nearest restaurant. Seriously! My advise is unless you are willing to spend the whole day in the nearby zoo or have a conference there stay somewhere else!

I really like the feeling of this hotel. I like the wallpaper, furniture and furnishings of her home. The bed is very comfortable. The bed is clean and comfortable. The four-person family has a double bed. The twin beds have a water heater and a coffee machine. Room 2 can sit in the beautiful courtyard with a cup of coffee on the first floor. Great experience

Booked this in a rush without checking TA - big mistake. On checking in the staff (who were the only positive) handed me some ear plugs !. At this point I considered walking to another hotel (should have done). You will not get any sleep here - with earplugs in the street noise was almost bearable (soft thudding of the nearby club) however the paper thin walls internally meant you could loudly hear other residents - I’m a heavy sleeper and was woken up at 4:45 (after finally getting to sleep at 1) - now this didn’t seem to be loud partygoers, just people talking relatively loudly managed to wake me up with earplugs in !!. WiFi/tv etc all fine, no air con so hot, but the other thing was I read these reviews before I went to bed on bedbugs. To be clear I didn’t see any - but to mitigate I slept above the covers with a long sleeve T-shirt. I do have a bite on my ankle but that may be a mozzie / happened elsewhere. This place is only fit for people on a big night out - get smashed, pass out on the bed, leave as it is in a great location. Anyone else heed the above - harder to enjoy a great city with no sleep.

After stay at the Copenhagen CityHub I thought why not give this Rotterdam one a go as my experience before was great. Well firstly my god it was noisy, I had requested a quiet pod in the hotel as I'm a very light sleeper (even with earplugs in and pillow overhead lol) . So I was placed near the toilets/showers.... Ding ding ding alarms should have been going off then as the amount of banging those toilets/showers doors and the thumping of the people who sounded like they was thumping past all the pods (request a top pod in future). With ear plugs I was woken up early by other pod users who didn't have a care about anybody else who would have even been asleep as long as the could have a chat in the hall ways as loud as possible. So if you are going out and getting drunk this hotel is perfect for you but if you are on a sightseeing trip and wanting a early night we'll best of luck with that. None of my USB chargers were working in my pod but luckily I had brought a plug with more than 1 socket on it for charging. You get what you pay here and for a single person it's the cheapest option in the city. Lockers are huge and fitted my large suitcase in very easily. Staff very helpful as usual especially the American guy. Would I stay again, I'm afraid I wouldn't at this one as far too noisy for me. Maybe big groups shouldn't be all put on same floor and then they can meet in area downstairs and chat as loud as possible as they want at any time that suits them.

The location is average, Wifi is good. Breakfast food is plentiful. An unhappy incident occurred. We originally rented a bicycle for 2 days to visit the hotel. They charged me 100 euros in cash for 13 yuan per car a day and 25 yuan for 2 days. Of that, 50 yuan was 2 days rent plus 50 yuan deposit. I had a receipt for it. Finally, I decided to add an extra day of bicycle to the Hague. So I went back to the hotel at about 5 o'clock on the 21st and told the lady on duty to rent for another day and gave her the key number. Then she told me to give 25 euros. I gave her 25 euros in cash. But she didn't give me the receipt. On the 22nd I handed over my bicycle keys to the lady on duty (not the one who charged me 25 cash), she told me that I paid for 2 days in the record without the third day record, I told her that she received it from another, she insisted that we did not pay, she did not even ask other female colleagues to do it, Just said that we did not have a third day receipt. We will deposit 50 yuan-26 yuan. Find 24 yuan back to us. But we have to pay 26 euros more, we can't help English, because we didn't take the receipt. Here we want receipts for everything. This hotel finally made me disappointed and angry 😤😤😤.

My experience in this hotel was really nice. It's located near the city center and the metro station and you can practically have everything you need (supermarkets, shops, food) within a few minutes on foot. All the stuff is really kind and helpful for anything it may occur during your stay in the hotel. Breakfast has not a big variety of drinks and food but it's still really good. My only complaint about this hotel is that there is no fridge in the room, which you really going to need if you are staying for more than 5 days. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay in days inn and I would definitely visit this hotel again.
