How Rotterdam, Once an Industrial Port Town, Became a Pioneer of Thoughtful Urban Regeneration
"There's a home-away-from-home quality to the Supernova Hotel. Spacious rooms have cozy seating nooks with midcentury furniture and record players, plus pink-tiled bathrooms with cabinets from recycled plastic terrazzo."
Supernova Hotel (Rotterdam, South Holland) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels
"Supernova doesn’t follow the rules - by design. Housed in a former post office, this 38-room “non-hotel” embraces bold color, eclectic interiors, and a distinctly local energy. No two rooms are alike; you might get a record player, a garden view, or even a porcelain cat. Public spaces feel more like a creative’s apartment than a lobby, with a vinyl lounge, cocktail bar, and curated shop. It is playful, personal, and as offbeat as the city itself." - Tablet Hotels
Rooms and location are superb. Hotel is fresh and well-maintained. Located close to Centraal station and is 30 minutes away from the riverfront by walk and tram. I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Clean rooms, coffee machine available.
Great hotel for people without cars.
The only negative is the description of parking facilities. There is no on-site parking, as claimed. Street parking you need to pay to Rotterdam authorities for. Off-site parking is of course available but just like for the rest of cars in Rotterdam. You can park for free on adjacent streets from 23:00 to 9:00 Monday to Saturday and till 12:00 on Sunday. I wish reception staff explained that when I asked about parking, as I could have avoided paying for off-site parking overnight. Use My Way app for off-site parking to keep your car during payable street parking hours.

This is such a great hotel. Really cool reception and restaurant area as you first enter, nice decor and very clean. Breakfast was good, plenty of selection for the price. Best part for me was the bikes which the hotel offers free for guests. Would highly recommend!

We had a fab stay at Supernova hotel, it is in a great location away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of the city but within walking distance. They have bikes that are free to use to get around the city which was very much appreciated as it took all the worry and time away from trying to find somewhere to rent bikes. |The room itself was very very clean - enough room for a couple and had lovely views into the city. |The breakfast was perfect for us - it was all fresh and one of the managers (Veronica) told us that it was all locally sourced. There was a small gift shop in the reception of the hotel, again with local products. We didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel but we wish we had done as the menu looked delicious and it smelt delicious. |There was no noise from other people in the hotel or the outside - we were on the top floor and had no issues with noise at all. |Overall the hotel has a really calm atmosphere and that is very much created by the calm, smiley staff who work there and help with whatever you need.

Great location and very comfortable bedding! 🛏️
However, the rooms feel a bit basic for the price, and the layout can be a bit unsafe — there’s a staircase right at the entrance. The welcome wasn’t particularly warm, and breakfast, while good, felt quite minimal for the cost (20€).
Still, a decent spot for a short, no-frills stay! 👍

Fair price for clean rooms and good hospitality from the staff. No disruptive noise. Location is very nice with nice restaurants and cafes nearby. We are upgraded to a larger room free of charge, thanks for that :)
They will be our first choice on our future Rotterdam visits.

This is up there with our favourite hotels we have visited , we were only sad that we were only booked in for one night but I’m sure we will be back. Staff were super friendly and helpful , we got into Rotterdam early morning due to arriving on the ferry from Hull and the staff didn’t hesitate in saving our luggage while we explored the city.The hotel is beautifully furnished and decorated throughout and our room was amazing with a city living modern feel ,spacious even with 4 of us ( 3 grown ups and a child ) 2 big beds one of which was on a split level which was super cool,the beds by the way were sooo comfortable and we all had a great nights sleep.The vinyl records and player were such a nice touch and we had a little singalong and showed the kids what music used to be like ! The wi-fi was excellent and we were able to easily stream Netflix onto the TV . Bathroom was also fantastic.We bought drinks from the bar at reception which is open till late and there is also a lovely coffee machine in the room. 100% recommended

Supernova Hotel in Rotterdam has a unique vibe — think the interior of an old pub, yet somehow cozy and inviting. The rooms are stylish and well thought out, but here’s a tip: watch out for the garden room if you’re taller than 5’7” — head bumps are almost guaranteed! Service is friendly, and the location is perfect for exploring the city.
Fun fact: The building was once a classic Dutch townhouse before being transformed into this boutique gem, blending history with modern design.

What a fabulous place to stay at! Super central location, really nice clean rooms with comfy beds. The staff were all so helpful and friendly it felt like a warm bath. The free bikes are an added 5* bonus. We'd recommend this hotel to anybody
