    The window was exactly on top of the restaurants ventilation, so it smells like food the whole time.

    Nice hostel, very well located.

    It was way too hot in the room. Had the windows and the bathroom door open and it was still too hot and it’s only March

    The privacy of the beds was great

    First of all I would like to say that Lucas and Lina are the best receptionist that I have ever met, there were extremely polite, helpful, friendly. Amazing people with the best vibe. Because of them this place feels like home, thanks a lot guys for everything! 2nd of all this hostel is really cozy and warm during winter. Room was really big with enough space for everyone, huge windows with stunning city view, private separate bathroom and toilet. New and very clean bed sheets and towel, comfortable bed and pillow. I would say it's almost 5* hostel and definitely the cleanest one that I have ever stay. Location just amazing, 5 min walking distance from the Central station, supermarket, restaurants, bars everything just next by. For sure I gonna choose this place again when I'll be back to Rotterdam!

    The rooms are cleaned daily, and if you wish, even your sheets can be changed. The bathroom and toilet are included in the room and are clean. The kitchen was the best and cleanest I’ve ever seen, you can cook and eat whatever you like. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The location is right in the center, so you can walk everywhere, and there are supermarkets nearby.

    Can be a bit noisy as in a central area but it wasn't bad at all (just trams mainly). Doors closing can be heard and people coming up the stairs at different times, but was able to sleep still. Reminder to close curtains before changing as can be seen from outside otherwise.

    Friendly staff, clean room, digital key, towels provided. Two showers and two toilets off the main bedroom in the 8 berth women only room. Bunk beds sturdy made of wood and metal. Have own light and charging point. Curtains for windows in room good. Can open the window (was quite warm when arrived). Great kitchen and area to relax in. Lots of chairs and tables and a couple of sofas. TV. There are areas to store your food (only eat downstairs not in rooms). Also luggage room. Charger for phone can hire. If forget padlock can buy one for storage area at the end of the bed which is a good size (easily fit two lots of cabin luggage in). Free coffee before 11am. 1 euro after. Free tea. Free condiments. Crockery and cutlery available for use (just wash up after yourself).

    The stairs were stupid snd felt like I was going to die on them going down, there is no on site bar, just buy a drink at reception, the 4 German guys I was sharing with were too loud all the time, they made it messy and kept smoking inside the room while hanging out the window. Disgusting humans!

    The beds were cool and nice toilet to poop in.

    The room's cleanliness needs to improve, there was a lot of dust on the floor and on the bunk bed stairs.

    The staff are friendly, especially the Portuguese. The structure is good and the beds is good too.

    Only one thing could be better: a curtain for all beds and also a roof on top of the beds that are above, because the wall is only one meter so the other person can look over it

    Everything. Free luggage storage before and after stay. Free candy Good kitchen facility Perfect internet Perfect to get in with a website to open the doors (no key or passcode required) Even free towel (but I always have my own).

    The door at the entrance doesn't work during night hours with the digital key so everytime you have to wait that the receptionist open the door for you , the elevator doesn't work ( they will fix it)

    Reception 24h , equipped and cleaned kitchen available 24h, cozy atmosphere, staff very kind and friendly ( they organise always some activities in and outside the hostel and is nice if U are in a solo traveller so U can meet new people and doing nice things all together), beds with lateral panels to have privacy while sleeping
