Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam

As we approached Bilderberg Parkhotel from the Central Station, the first thing I noticed was the the outside of the building, where part of the facade above the hotel had come away, so not the best first impression.|As we entered the hotel we were greeted warmly, with staff appearing genuinely eager to assist. The lobby area was modern and a comfortable place to relax.|We checked into our room, which was spacious, and we were pleasantly surprised to see we had a balcony area, however, on stepping outside, it was less of an area to relax, due to the presence of several large air ventilation units (this didn't impact our sleep) and a bumpy ground surface. |The bed itself was comfortable though the duvet had slight discolouring, which we only noticed when the cover slipped off. This was not severe enough to raise a complaint, but should be noticed during routine cleaning, and removed from further use.|The en-suite was a good size and the shower was hot. |There was an air-conditioning unit in the room which was appreciated, as although the outside temperature was cooling down, the room itself was still rather warm.|On one occasion, we had attempted to call Reception using the room phone to find that it was not connected, nor was there a cable to connect it, so it's presence appeared ornamental rather than for any practical use! |The breakfast was varied and had a good offering. We had not pre-paid for breakfast, which was actually cheaper booking with staff on arrival than in advance. |The hotel had a spa area, which we enquired about. It was available for use, but staff had to be notified if you wanted to use it, as the sauna is only switched on when it is going to be used, which I had no issue with. The spa facilities were of a good standard, though evidently are used sparsely, so much so, that we startled a member of housekeeping when they saw my wife and I using it! This space has the potential to be much more than it is currently, and the hotel should work out how best to utilise this. |I'd give a 3.5* star rating if I could, though on balance the positives outweighed the negatives, so I've given it 4*.

The hotel provides a good level of accommodation, particularly when opting for the more upscale executive rooms rather than the standard ones. Check-in is done via a self-service, which may not appeal to everyone — especially given the hotel's category and pricing. A more personal welcome would better match the overall standard and create a warmer first impression. The property itself is beautifully maintained and impeccably clean, with lovely artwork and decorative stained-glass windows in the hallways that add to the charm. Rooms are very spacious, including the standard ones, and offer a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. Cleanliness throughout the hotel is exceptional. A small suggestion: there’s a step at the bathroom entrance that could benefit from some kind of highlight or marking, as it's easy to miss — I unfortunately bumped into it quite badly. Our main concern was the noise during the night. A loud ventilation system located just outside our window made it difficult to sleep, which was disappointing even for a standard room. Additionally, mosquitoes became an issue. Installing window screens or providing plug-in repellents would go a long way toward improving guest comfort.

Conveniently located just 15 minutes from both the train station and the main shopping district, this hotel offers an ideal base for exploring the area. It stands out as one of the better options in its category, offering comfort and excellent service. The staff are a true highlight friendly, attentive, and responsive to all enquiries. A special mention goes to Merle, who went above and beyond to assist us with travel arrangements. Her warm and professional manner made a lasting impression. One area for improvement is the breakfast offering. Guests with dietary restrictions or those who avoid meat and eggs may find the options somewhat limited. Expanding the menu to cater to a wider range of dietary needs would enhance the overall experience. Overall, a highly recommended stay with thoughtful service and a prime location.

I booked the Bilderberg Hotel in Rotterdam because the listing said dogs were welcome. I chose an executive room for the extra space (35 m²). The next day, while checking the hotel’s own website for practical information, I discovered that dogs are only allowed in standard rooms. I emailed the hotel, and they confirmed this, adding that they would waive the €35/day pet fee as compensation. In reality, this wasn’t compensation at all — the difference in room rates meant I essentially paid for a standard room with a pet surcharge.||I will admit there was some effort: I was given a room with a balcony, though this was never mentioned in the email exchange. But it was clearly a “dog” room — dirty, stained carpet, filthy curtains, minimal comfort, dated furniture. The fridge barely worked (and was dirty), and the bathroom ventilation was unbearably noisy (and also dirty). Housekeeping was only on request, and even then, very minimal. Towels were clean but worn and stained.||If a hotel charges €35/day for bringing a dog, what is that fee for if not to ensure the room is as spotless as any other? The balcony had an outdoor AC unit blowing hot air and leaking water, creating puddles — combined with the general grime, it was clearly not maintained for a long time. I did not feel treated as a normal guest simply because I had a dog. If this is the standard, it would be better not to accept pets at all.||I had a bad feeling when they told me pets were only allowed in standard rooms, but I couldn’t cancel at that point, so I had no choice. Otherwise, I would have stayed elsewhere.||Parking was another disappointment: there are maybe 30 spaces in total, and during my 4-night stay, I had to park twice in the city’s public car parks and pay full price. This should be made clear in the listing.||Overall, I did not enjoy my stay and would not recommend this hotel to pet owners. The only positive point: the front desk and bar staff were truly friendly and welcoming

Excellent centrally located hotel. Very friendly helpful staff. We stayed in the older part of the hotel and only two slight negatives were the small TV and no USB ports. The room size was superb. Plenty of storage space. We stayed here a few years back and will definitely be back .

3 of us stayed as we needed to visit locations close by. |Service was great.|We checked in early and no problems to do so. |A few issues with one of the rooms but they were happy to swap the room quickly and with no drama.|Food looked very good although we didn’t stay for dinner. |Rooms really comfortable and good decor.|View from 12th floor was lovely.

The Executive Room was well worth the small amount more. Having that amount of space to enjoy the stunning views out the window, then a bath to relax in felt like great value. The room felt modern and had a good number of sockets - including one UK and USB-C beside the bed. Having the option of self-service check-in and out was really helpful, especially if you don’t speak Dutch. However, when there was an issue with checkout on the machine the staff were very helpful too. The location is extremely convenient being in the city centre and right next to one of the main metro stations taking you to Hoek van Holland etc. If I’m ever back in Rotterdam then I’ll definitely think about staying here again.

Very positive experience. Stayed in Executive room, on 12 floor. Great view, spacious room, everything one needs in the room, very good breakfast, attentive staff, convenient location. Very much recommended.

Wanted a hotel within a 10 to 15 minute walk from Rotterdam Centraal Train Station and located conveniently to explore Rotterdam. The Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam was perfect. So nice that we could drop off our luggage after our cruise and they also let our friends store their luggage as well, since our room was not ready early in the day. The hotel is so centrally located near museums, shops and restaurants. We even walked by the hotel on our Free Walking Tour Rotterdam (which I would highly recommend). Our city view room was so comfortable. Lots of space with a large desk and a couple of chairs. Beautiful views of Rotterdam from the oversized windows. Definitely add breakfast. Love the huge selections of fresh Dutch cheeses, smoked salmon and thinly sliced beef. The bread was so delicious, especially the brown bread with fig and nuts. The bread pudding was a nice breakfast indulgence. The orange juice was so fresh. Grab a latte or cappuccino to start your day. The outside garden is so peaceful for breakfast. If you didn't get enough steps, there is a small gym, but after 26,000 steps, I just relaxed in the sauna late at night. Had the space to myself which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend this hotel for an overnight stay in Rotterdam. One of our favorite hotels for our Holland/Norway/Paris Olympics vacation. Got a great deal on Booking.com. Thanks to Mark for the great service.

We stayed here for an overnight stay as part of the Cosmos Tour Group of Netherlands in September 2019. The hotel is easily accessible and located centrally in the city of Rotterdam. The hotel was modern, clean, and well maintained. The room was spacious and we had no issues. Despite our room located along a busy street, we did not have issues with sleep quality. The room had adequate air conditioning and had multiple windows that can be opened for fresh air. Breakfast buffet was included and was adequate for European standards.

Was in Rotterdam for a business trip and enjoyed my stay here. Location wise, this is a quick 15 minute walk from Rotterdam train station, and close to a bunch of bars and restaurants. Very convenient! I stayed in the newly built rooms in the tower. The room was spacious and clean, there was a separate bathtub from the shower, & lots of toiletries that were restocked every day. Temperature was comfortable bed was so comfy! Staff was friendly and check in was a breeze. My room did have a strange looking, outdated hair dryer though.. it looked like a vacuum nozzle (lol wat.) Judging from my coworkers' rooms, there seems to be a lot of variability between the rooms (one of my coworkers was in a room with a single bed? while another got a top floor room with a panoramic window view.. and no one else had a weird old hair dryer like mine!). So I think it's luck of the draw. Breakfast buffet is about 25 Euro and had a nice variety of offerings (eggs, bacon, yogurt, fruit, cheeses, smoked salmon, meats, & of course lots of bread). Overall a lovely stay in the center of the city.

Great for date night. Food and atmosphere is excellent. Service could be a little faster, but don't let that sway you, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

I hesitate to give only two stars, as the room was clean and quite comfortable enough. However, it was freezing cold, even with the heat turned up full. In my opinion, the "garden rooms", as they are so optimistically called, should not be used in cold weather. There was no clock. The soap was the world's smallest. And generally one had the feeling of pennies being saved wherever possible. The staff at the front was aggressively friendly, and I didn't really appreciate being forced to shake hands with everyone, especially in these days of ebola and other communicable diseases most often spread by travellers.
