“excellent value, great location”
- we had a great deal on our overnight stay which included breakfast & free mini bar.. all for only 92 euro inc tax! the standards overall were very high, atmostphere relaxed.
- after quietly checking the evening menu we chose to eat somewhere else, but as we left a comment was made by the chap behind the bar who had also initially greeted us. even if it was a joke, he told us unsmiling that sorry but they don't serve fish & chips. we found this comment was inappropriate. offensive & racist

“Nice enough place, but this hotel does NOT have a pool.”
- Nice looking hotel, clean and newish. Check-out time of noon. Free parking. Close to the zoo.
- Contrary to other van der Valk hotels, the pool is not at the hotel and is not included in the price. For the "special" price of 10 euros per person you can walk next door to the community health club and share the kiddie pool with 50 kids doing swimming lessons. "King size" bed in our superior room was actually two singles pushed together. Breakfast is overpriced at 16,50 per person. Wireless internet costs 12,50 per day.

“NICE HOTEL BUT NEEDED TO RECHECK YOUR RIGHTS”
- While I booked the hotel room, I received wrong information: 1. It was mentioned that in the romm I will have a free minibar. Not only that it was not free but the minibar was total empty. I went and ask the reception and they said that this is a decission of the hotel as it makes lots of problems to have this minibar!!! 2. In the web there were two types of rooms, I decided to take the more expensive since it was a view facing the zoo, I was asking the reception and she said that they dont

“King size bed is two singles pushed together”
- Great Location. Easy access to both the zoo and the city center
- What they call a king size bed is just two singles push together.

“Everything you excpect from a Van Der Valk Hotel”
- Almost Everything was excellent
- They should either have a Geldautomat or allow guests to get cash on their cards. The hotel is not within walkiing distance of any cash machines.

“This hotel is an excellent value.”
- We were very pleased with this hotel. For a free breakfast, it's very good. Many different choices of food. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rotterdam Centraal is less than 10 minutes away by bus and it's right next to the zoo. We will most likely stay here again.
- There was some confusion as to whether or not breakfast was included with our stay. Thankfully we had our reservation with us so we were able to prove it was.

“modern, goed, vriendelijk hotel”
- New hotel, strakke luctige italiaanse inrichting. uitstekende bedden en kussens. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Even wennen was het raam dat aan een binnen tuin is dus geen direkt zon licht. Dit is niet met alle kamers.
- extra betaling voor de fitness ruimte en zwembad.

“Comfortable smart friendly hotel with great facilities”
- Excellent service provided by highly professional and helpful staff. Provision of smoking rooms, bar and restaurant. The hotel is very well presented. UK and european power outlets in the room, and free internet in the room. Good choice of european language TV channels (English, French, Italian, German, Dutch)
- No clothes iron in the room - clothes creased in the suitcase stay that way (there may well be provision elsewhere in the hotel, I should have asked at the front desk I guess)

“Air con doesn't work!!”
- Service from the staff was good
- First room, electrics didn't work, second room air con didn't work and it was too hot. Because I had to open the windows, there was the noise from the zoo next door.
