Hotels near Schiedam Windmills in Schiedam

I honestly don't know how come this hotel has 4 stars. The standard is significantly lower than other 4-star hotels in the Netherlands. The room was dirty and you could see dead insects smashed on the bathroom walls and the window. The AC didn't work so we barely slept. The location is not the most convenient, so I would expect they would compensate with the higher quality considering the price but it wasn't the case. The breakfast was ok. I wouldn't go there again. I think the rating of 4 stars is a scam in this case.

We like the location of the hotel. It is in midst of an old town and located along the canal. Close by is a shopping haven but most shops were closed because of the public holiday. The hotel is clean and the deco is modernistic inside with a traditional facet. Breakfast was excellent and the staff is so helpful and friendly. There is car park in front of hotel but limited space.

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.

We spent great night in the Room Hostel, the bed was comfy the staff is super nice and well-organised. You can choose a delightfull nutritional breakfast for 5€ per person. The bathroom qnd the hostel overally were clean. Recommemded for backpackers. Plus point they have night activities everyday some of them are free plus in June they celebrate the 100th anniversary of the stand of the building.

It took me a while to write this review since I was afraid of my personal safety. Nevertheless, I have finally decided to share this information with other travelers. This incident happened during a weekday night when I decided to do a walk-in at the Ibis hotel in Den Haag after a long trip. I was already aware of some bad reviews from other travelers indicating ”naughty” staff. Nonetheless, I decided to give it a go. I entered the hotel and mentioned the hotel clerk that I wanted to book a room. His attitude was rough indicating me that he did not have any rooms left. For my bad luck, my phone was out of battery so I decided to seat in one of the tables in the lobby to quickly charge it to look for a hotel somewhere else. While I was charging my phone, the clerk approached me and shouted at me that I had to leave the hotel. I explained him that I wanted to charge my phone to look for other hotels in the area and I wouldn't take much time. He continued shouting at me that I had to leave, when suddenly he grabbed my bag and literally threw it to the street. At this moment I was petrified since I never imagined something like this was happening. Then, he pushed me violently out of the hotel. Luckily I managed to take a picture of this guy. The guy has a tattoo on his right arm and rather than a hotel clerk, he thinks he is a MMA fighter or part of gang. I really don't know how the manager of this hotel can have person like this with such level of anger dealing with customers. My review by no means intend to advice other travelers to visit or not this hotel. I believe the facilities of this hotel are quite nice but what I can say is that I'm not entering this place again until they take strong actions towards improving the quality of their staff. I hope this guy doesn't get fired because of this review but if the hotel really wants to keep him, the hotel should consider send him to an anger management course. I don't know if this guy is always like this or just had a bad night and he took it on me. Nonetheless, I think no one should suffered what this guy did to me under any circumstance.

Looks great and rooms and public areas are nicely decorated. However the walls of the rooms are very thin, when your neighbor closes the door you sit straight in your bed. Staff is nice but some essential services are missing: no gym of fitness room (‘will be coming??”), no room service from the restaurant. Restaurant very overpriced for meals that vary in quality. Definitely more variety and better price quality balance is needed. The hotel is on a highway so ask for rooms on the other side otherwise it can be noisy. All in all mixed experience. Van der Valk could improve on several aspects.

The hotel is perfect. It is extremely well located, near the public market and the cubic houses. The hotel is a beautiful, pleasant, safe and has many cafés, restaurants and shops. The renovation of the Bauhaus building is a very successful one. The rooms are perfect! Very n't it is beautiful! A very beautiful experience, to repeat!!

Before reading all bad reviews about this hotel, but we haven't booked any attractive & room. The hotel was very spacious, very clean and modern. The only point was that there was no TV (for music) & no chair. However, you could sit well in the broad window bank. A luxury breakfast was available at the restaurant below for €12. All with a very positive experience!

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.
