Stayokay Hostel Rotterdam

Short and sweet stay for us. We had a family room which was perfectly adequate to lay our heads for a night. Good location with restaurants and a nice little bar on site. Staying on a cube house is pretty cool.

Great hostel in a perfect central location near the train, staff were phenomenally polite and helpful and breakfast was a great plus. Some improvement to room airflow/air conditioning would be good. Was a bit of a sauna but sleep able

Really lovely hostel! Everything there is amazing. Obviously due to the location and the fact you are staying in the Cube houses, it is slightly pricier than other hostels in Rotterdam but definitely worth it! Our room's window shows to within the Cube's canopy so there is no natural light, but other than that there are no complaints! I would stay here again.

A very nice hostel when you want to visit Rotterdam. Perfectly located in the city center nearby many attractions. The rooms are simple but for the price totally fine. Beds were comfy and the chillout area of the hostel is nice. Very friendly staff.

I had to leave after 1 night of my 3 night stay. I expected it to be pretty basic - and it was - as it is pretty cheap, but the temperature was unbearable. There was only one window and it could only open a tiny amount. The Aircon unit was just a noisy fan and provided almost no comfort. Because of this I slept for 3 hours and wasted the next day because I was so tired. I had to check in to another hotel which cost me another €100. I would recommend staying anywhere else.

Nice hostel in a great location. I'm surprised that they haven't converted it In a more boutique like hostel. Rooms are basic but clean, but the beds where a little bit old and the mattress cover was a little bit torn. Showers came with a soap dispenser, which is always nice. Main problem for me was that the heating system was quite loud, so I decided to turn it off. I was lucky to travel when the weather was nice, but in winter or summer it would have probably be way to loud. Also I had a room close to the elevator which was also a little bit loud. I forgot to pack my earplugs, but with them it would have probably be okay. Staff was polite. Breakfast is included in the price. It was quite diverse for being an hostel, and it had also a lot of vegan option (even yogurt, which is not always easy to find). They did not have warm option, which I think is quite common in the Netherlands. Overall I had a positive stay and I can say that I spent the night in a cubic house.

No locks in rooms, you have to pay otherwise. No refrigerator for guests. Very bad service and basic rooms and beds for the price. No wifi connection in the room which is bad especially with a bad signal. The cubes looks nice and the location great but you wouldn't stay in this location for the looks. Would be a bad choice for a claustrophobic, and the room noise is torturing.

The breakfast and location was great. However, we booked a private quadruple room for three people and were given a dorm room that slept 7. The room, while ptivate, was not what we paid for. No window except on ceiling and the carpet outside looked like someone had vomited on floor...was not very welcoming. Front desk staff would not make change to quad room as requested.

Need a restroom break at the end of your Rotterdam Free Walking Tour? The Stayokay Hostel Rotterdam is open and available on the top floor of the Cube Houses....clean and no charge. Interesting to follow the funny signs that lead up the stairs to the toilets. Thanks to Stayokay Hostel and to our tour guide, Nidas, for this very useful trip especially on Sunday when many places were closed.
