    Like: great location, good kitchen, and seating area Dislike: no storage or lockers in the rooms this meant the 8 bed dorm was tight for space even with only 5 people in it

    I loved the vibe here, very youthful. In the room there was a constant loud noise from some type of generator, so i did have to sleep with my noise cancelling earbuds in.

    The lockers were under maintenance so no possibility to keep your belongings somewhere safe. The restrooms on the third weren’t clean.

    The location is ideal - plus you have a quite nice bar below.

    Nice place to enjoy Rotterdam night life

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The noise from inside is very loud when people or staff go in and out of rooms, or walk in the corridor. So it was rather hard to sleep correctly. The facilities are rather old. In the bathroom, there is no curtain. Instead there is a broom to remove the water... There is no space to put your toiletry bag. In the morning there was no power until the main light switch was turned on, but it was not advised by the staff. Not very nice when you discover that your phone did not charge because of that.

    The staff was nice. This is a Hostel in a very lively section of the city, but the room are well insulated for noise from outside. And it was a private room with private bathroom. Water was warm in the shower. There are wooden shutters that make the room rather dark. The bed is confortable. There are many good bars around and it is easy to get around town from the Hostel (metro is about 5min walk).

    The heating in the room is too high. But there are knobs which you can use to control it. Thereafter it comes down to negotiating the level with your roommates.

    Very clean facilities and superb location. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

    Unfortunately, there is not much choice on the number of beds in the room. It would be nice if there was a possibility to make a room for 4 people, for a small company

    Actually, it was amazing stay at King Kong Hotel. The location is situated almost in the heart of the city! Despite the noise and crowded seating on the summer terrace below the hostel, no noise was heard in the room.
