Hotel Van Walsum Reviews

Pros: friendly staff, clean, central location Cons: thin walls, tired facilities

The breakfast is super!! Despite a 15 EUR extra, it is a good strategy for hotel to separate it from room fee, otherwise it is too expensive. But the floor height is low and room kinda small, if you add breakfast fee together, the value for price is not as high as the business hotel nearby called Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam. Nice little garden. Good to stay a night or so, but not much of a resort stay. 24/7 check in/out not a problem. The staff are warm. 5-10 stairs to carry the suitcase by yourself to the elevator and front door.

Excellent service and delicious food.

房間裝飾很具經典的藝術氣息，各種用品都很清潔，夜晚很安靜，前台人員温和友善，雖然衹住一晚，但卻印象深刻。

普普通通一旅社

Hotel is in a good location for transport links, close to the metro and tram stops although we chose to walk most places as the weather was good. 20 minute walk from the main train station. The hotel was clean, tv, fridge, hairdryer. Our room was at the front of the hotel and was very noisy with traffic and people walking home but it was a weekend. The room was very warm and the windows only opened a small amount and no extractor fan in the bathroom added to the heat. Dispute that, our room was large, with high ceilings and very light. Shower was good but as previously mentioned, not extractor fan made the bathroom very steamed up. We didn’t make use of the bar or restaurant as we had plans elsewhere. Hotel staff were friendly and check in and out was easy. Surrounded by bars and restaurants just a short walk away, plenty of choice. 25 minute walk to the the Euromast and 20 min walk in the opposite direction the shopping centre.

Small family run Hotel. Central to all the city’s sights and transport links . Staff very friendly , helpful and welcoming. Substantial Breakfast included in the price . Gorgeous little garden at the back of the back of the property. Rooms and public bright and clean .

I have stayed a couple of nights in this lovely family run hotel. The bedroom was clean with nature friendly toiletries. There was Illy coffee machine in the room and variety of tees. One had to pay extra for breakfast, but beside that fact the breakfast was quite nice with a variety of choices for all tastes. The wifi was good too. The staff was very polite and helpful.

Came across this hotel thru ***********. What a great find! Check in really easy and they held our bags as we were quite early.. allowing us to tour Rotterdam. The hotel is right on a bus line and a few steps to trams. Easy 10 minute bus ride to city centre. Room was very clean and very comfortable. Continental breakfast was great. Good food to get you out on your morning. A lounge to enjoy an evening nightcap. Would highly recommend this hotel

Basic 3 star hotel in a quieter street just off busy bustling Nieuwe Binnenweg with its plethora of bars and restaurants. Super easy to walk (20 mins) from Rotterdam Centraal, or jump on Tram 4 (to Heemraadsplein) with a stop a mere 2 mins around the corner to the hotel plus metro stop Dijkzigt further south. But once I got my bearings, and the weather fine and sunny, I walked everywhere, and was in Museumpark within 10 mins and also historical old Delfshaven in a city of mainly modern architecture. Check out the refurbished docklands area nr Erasmusbrug, quite stunning, and some 20-30 mins on foot. Invest in a RET day-ticket of unlimited travel through Rotterdam – day or night – by bus, tram, and metro. It becomes valid when you first check in, and costs 9 Euros. An absolute bargain compared to expensive old UK. Centraal station is another design gem, and easy to buy tickets from machines with English-language. I got return tickets for some great daytrips to Den Haag, Delft and Utrecht for a change of pace and scene. My single en-suite room 11 was comVERY compact but had a balcony to sit and enjoy the warm June evenings outside. On the first floor with very steep stairs, and quite noisy at times with other guests coming and going and banging doors. When i first checked in, there was a distinct smell of stale smoke (the hotel is non-smoking) but could have been from a previous smoker on the balcony. Hence, popped to a nearby Aldi to buy a room freshener. Great working shower in the wet room, plenty of towels. Clothes storage was very minimal - just a rail with 5-6 hangers. No drawers, just a writing desk. Lots of sockets to charge your appliances. A handy kettle with some tea/coffee pods after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast was lovely, with tables and chairs by the reception and onto small garden. Usual cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, croissants, toast, and hot breakfast of bacon and scrambled eggs. Nice choice of teas, plus coffee from a self-service machine. I also rented a bike from reception for some three hours for 10 Euros. All in all, "diolch yn fawr iawn" & "Bedankt" to the hotel's staff.

We enjoyed our stay here. It has charm and character. There is also parking - paid at the back of the property which is cheaper than on road parking.The rooms were comfortable and had everything you needed. There is a lift in the hotel but unfortunately it was not working when we were there. They had sent us an email before our check in, explaining the situation and offered us to cancel free of charge if we didn't want to climb the stairs. We decided to stay and the stairs were steep but the front of office staff did assist us with our bags. The stairs are steep but that seems to be the norm with the older places in The Netherlands. We didn't mind so much. The hotel is located a block away from a street that has many cafes, bars and restaurants.

Wir waren 2 Nächte im Hotel Van Walsum und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet (z.B. mit einer Kapsel Kaffeemaschine), das Frühstück ist lecker und das Personal ist freundlich und daran interessiert, dass man sich dort wohl fühlt. Die Haltestellen für Bus und Bahn sind direkt an der nächsten Kreuzung, mit einem Tagesticket (9,50 Euro) sind wir gut zurecht gekommen. Wir würden immer wieder dorthin fahren.

We hadden een mooie kamer met glas-in-lood en parketvloer. Een groot raam geeft uitzicht op de mooie tuin van het hotel. Het bed is goed, er zijn stoelen en er is een plek voor ons koffer. Het ontbijt de volgende ochtend was uitstekend. De ontbijtruimte is ook gezellig. Al met al kiezen wij een volgende keer weer voor hotel Van Walsum! Onze auto stond, tegen vergoeding, op het parkeerterrein van het hotel. De auto hadden we tijdens ons verblijf niet nodig want we aten in het gezellige Westerpaviljoen, op enkele loopminuten afstand. Het Museumpark, ons doel voor de volgende dag, is ook vlakbij. We bezochten de villa’s Sonneveld en Chabot en het was mooier en interessanter dan vermoed.

Hotel is prima, ambiance goed, personeel vriendelijk. Ik had een eenpersoons kamer, op zich niets mis mee maar het bed was doorgezakt en de kamer gehorig vanwege de ligging direct bij de trap. Ontbijt is prima. Wat wel prettig is om een kamer aan de achterzijde te hebben, voor lijkt erg gehorig.
