At ss Rotterdam by WestCord, guests highlight a unique stay aboard a lovingly preserved ocean liner with spacious retro‑style rooms and generally friendly service, while noting the remote setting and that many ship areas require paid tours to access.
Frequent praise goes to the breakfast, on‑board dining, and helpful shuttles and water taxi connections, especially for cruise travelers. Common drawbacks include warm rooms or weak air conditioning and windows that do not open, soft or sliding mattresses and some noise, plus occasional cleanliness lapses and slow or limited bar service. Expect a memorable, characterful stay with trade‑offs typical of a vintage ship.

Facilities
On‑board bars and restaurants, large paid parking, and handy transport (a free shuttle to the metro/cruise terminal and a water taxi stop) are appreciated. Facilities have limits: the pool is a shallow kids’ area, some ship spaces require paid tours, and bar/venue hours or service can be limited.

The ship is amazing, so beautiful and a real history lesson in 1950s glamour. I was on a work conference and the facilities were great as were the lunches and dinners. Really interesting and great place to stay.

Leider liegt die Unterkunft sehr weit außerhalb und der letzte Bus fährt um ca. 20 Uhr. Außerdem tropft die Klimaanlage, Fenster lassen sich nicht öffnen. Ich habe bei Expedia explizit nach einem Hotel mit Pool gesucht, was dann vorhanden war ist ein Kinderplanschbecken mit 40 cm Tiefe!

This is a unique experience staying on a retro steam liner/cruise ship. The rooms are retro but upgraded. The only down side is that most of the ship is not part of the hotel and you must buy tickets in order to see the best rooms. There is a small discount if you are staying the night, but bake that into the price.

It’s a decommissioned cruise ship, so its a fun and unique place to stay. The location is not good due it being located on a mile long peninsula. Staff was helpful and friendly enough with the exception of the bar staff during the day. We waited at a bar side table 30 minutes and were not even acknowledged, so we went and sat at the bar and left after 10 minutes since it was apparent we were not getting served. The food in the restaurant upstairs was very good and well priced. Transportation is very difficult from here since no Uber or taxis want to go this far out of the way to get you.

Einzigartiges Erlebnis auf einem historischen Schiff (mit Tüchern auf dem Boden) Der Aufenthalt im SS Rotterdam war besonders. Das Kreuzfahrtschiff im Stil der 1960er-Jahre ist heute ein Hotel voller Charme und Geschichte. Die Führung durch das Schiff, geleitet von engagierten Freiwilligen, war ein echtes Highlight. Lage & Aussicht Die Aussicht vom Deck auf Hafen und Skyline ist atemberaubend. Die Anreise mit dem Wassertaxi war überraschend und schön. Es gibt Parkplätze und vier Ladestationen für E-Autos – leider zu wenig. Zimmer (Suite) – aber mit Tropfen Die Suite war hell, sauber und geräumig – mit neuer Badewanne, Bügeleisen und Ankleideraum. Leider hatte die Klimaanlage im Wohnzimmer einen Defekt: Wasser tropfte von der Decke. Schon bei Ankunft lagen Handtücher mit Folie auf dem Boden. So etwas darf in einem 4-Sterne-Hotel nicht vorkommen. Die Klimaanlage muss dringend repariert werden – Handtücher gehören ins Bad, nicht als Notlösung auf den Boden. Service Das Personal war freundlich und sprach gut Englisch. Im Restaurant mussten wir jedoch zu lange warten, obwohl genug Personal anwesend war. Frühstück & Restaurant Frühstück war vielfältig, mit Eierspeisen auf Wunsch. Das Essen am Abend war lecker, Cocktails gut – nur der Wein hätte großzügiger eingeschenkt werden können. Fazit Tolles Erlebnis mit besonderem Flair. Trotz technischer Mängel würde ich den Aufenthalt weiterempfehlen – vor allem wegen der Atmosphäre und Aussicht.

This property provides a unique experience. It is like taking a step back in time because it was a working cruise ship once upon a time. The rooms are spacious, not like current cruise cabins. The beds are soft, not firm. The amenities in the room and bathroom are similar to what you’d find at any decent hotel. The staff are friendly and welcoming from the moment you approach the property. We were greeted outside by the bell captain who helped us with our luggage and brought us aboard to the guest services area. People at the front desk are very helpful. Food in the restaurant was ok. Beef brisket should have been more tender, but meals that others had were fine. The location is close to the cruise port, which was great because we were sailing on Holland America and this hotel provides free shuttle service to the cruise terminal. This service was excellent! They took our bags right to the ship so embarkation was easy. I would definitely recommend this property. They also offer discounted tours of the ship for hotel guests. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to take advantage of this.

It was a neat experience to be on SS Rotterdam. I would suggest taking the tour as there really isn't all that much to see or do in the hotel without it. The pool (all 20 cm of it) was under repair. The room was a great size. The bed seemed odd. We had brand new mattresses but our bedding was all setup on a thick mattress pad. I almost slipped right out of bed on the first night. Wifi was strange and appeared to come from the TV? Turned the TV off and internet was gone. You do need to call a taxi or Uber as there is nothing walkable (at least for my 80 year old father) around the hotel. The order system for food didn't seem to work in English and wouldn't take credit cards. The staff were able to assist. The buffet breakfast was very good. Try and limit yourself to one croissant as they are heavenly. It was nice to have a complimentary shuttle from the Hotel to the cruise port. All in all, it was a nice stay.

Leider kann ich die vielen positiven Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen. In unserem Zimmer hatten wir Motten, und es gab Stockflecken am Spiegel – die Sauberkeit ließ insgesamt zu wünschen übrig. Das Zimmer war sehr alt, was vermutlich zum gewünschten Flair gehört, aber es ist definitiv renovierungsbedürftig. Zudem war es sehr kalt, und die Heizung funktionierte selbst auf höchster Stufe nicht. Insgesamt leider kein angenehmer Aufenthalt

There was great wow factor arriving, and the novelty factor of staying on a boat was fun for the kids. As a hotel it was underwhelming. The bus connection is regular but the bus stops are in fairly ‘sketchy’ spots, I wouldn’t have felt safe as a lone woman. The shuttle is great but stops at 6pm, it would be better running later into the evening once dark rather than during the day. The rooms are kitsch with the period styling and they were immaculately clean. The corridor carpets were dirty and the smell of old smoking rooms permeated everywhere unfortunately. Reception staff were friendly but either unknowledgable or reluctant to help. We arrived at 9pm after a long journey to be told the kitchen was closed and there was no food available on board. The receptionist couldn’t recommend anywhere to go out to eat. They did say we could order a delivery but couldn’t recommend anywhere for that which was unhelpful. It was disappointing that we weren’t able to visit the upper deck, this was open to visitors doing the door but not for paying guests. We joked that we felt like we were in steerage! The breakfast was great. There was no reduced price for children which made that expensive, but it was great quality and they had a huge selection of options. All in all it was a fun choice of hotel for a couple of nights.

Myself and my partner stayed for 4 days, beautiful location and beautiful ship. However, when on the deck the staff are not helpful. We couldn’t pay via their app so we were sat around waiting for a very long time for someone to take our order as we couldn’t pay at the bar, customer service was not the best. Some staff were very lovely and then some were not helpful. Again, very very beautiful ship and EXCEPTIONALLY clean but the air con was rubbish and windows do not open! It got very warm in the room.

Our stay at the SS Rotterdam blew us away. This is definitely in our top 5 of the most original hotel stays we have done in our time as globetrotters. Wonderful, very spacious rooms...nothing like the ones we have seen on the cruises we have done. Fantastic beds too. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone traveling to Rotterdam.

Los pasillos mostraban que podían mejorar en aspectos de su limpieza, la habitación sí se encontraba limpia y cómoda. El restaurante Lido estaba rico probé el Sándwich de pollo picante y el desayuno tipo buffet. El personal de recepción muy amable y nos ayudó a brindarnos una habitación una hora más temprano que el check-in porque moríamos de cansancio. Claro que lo recomiendo y con gusto volvería a visitarlos.

Definitivt en upplevelse att bo på denna atlantångare från 1958 med bevarad inredning. Det blev inte sämre av att personalen var mycket serviceinriktad och att restaurangen var mycket bra.

Personeel & service, één balie mevrouw was niet heel vriendelijk toen bleek dat er geen plek meer was voor het diner voor ons met 3 personen op zaterdag avond. Ze deed niet haar best om te zoeken naar een oplossing. Ze gaf aan om naar de stad te gaan. Uiteindelijk hebben we wel kunnen dineren in het restaurant door er gewoon naar toe te gaan. Daar waren ze heel vriendelijk.

There is no way a review can describe a stay on the ss Rotterdam, you must visit in person, whether a day tour or preferably overnight stay. I first must truly commend the front desk/reception staff for being extremely attentive, professional and beyond helpful. During our 2 night stay, almost every reception staff member went above and beyond, from room-upgrade, to quickly calling a cab, and to easily address special requests and billing. Even the gift shop attendant was great. But, the biggest thanks must go to a wonderful security member (K), who gladly and enthusiastically helped my parents recreate a honeymoon photo from their Rotterdam cruise 50 years ago. Having this memory being recreated was simply priceless for them and we are all deeply grateful as it wouldn't have happened without this member's help. Besides first class staff, this ship is amazingly preserved in time. After trekking through France for a week, it was like taking a 2 day cruise to know where to unwind. The Lido served a fantastic breakfast and dinner. Captain's Lounge was perfect for coffee/drinks with friends. The rooms are not only spacious, but a reminder of how cruising/crossings used to be, all completely well appointed. Outdoor deck spaces are large & spacious with amazing views. For a comparable price of a boring chain-box hotel room, there is no comparison. And for those, like us, who were looking for the nostalgia of a bygone era and and an experience like no other, a stay is a simple must!

It’s a decommissioned cruise ship, so its a fun and unique place to stay. The location is not good due it being located on a mile long peninsula. Staff was helpful and friendly enough with the exception of the bar staff during the day. We waited at a bar side table 30 minutes and were not even acknowledged, so we went and sat at the bar and left after 10 minutes since it was apparent we were not getting served. The food in the restaurant upstairs was very good and well priced. Transportation is very difficult from here since no Uber or taxis want to go this far out of the way to get you.

My husband and I live on a cruise ship half the year and I am a content creator. My husband use to work on this ship. We were excited to stay here. My only advice is to not stay here in the summer. The air does not work nor does it circulate. As a ship engineer of 30 years my husband tried to tell the front desk and when we turned around to leave we were laughed at. It was my husband, 15 year old daughter and myself. It was a very bad night with no sleep. Also the restaurant: we were very excited to eat there. They forgot to put our order in. We waited 75 minutes for our meal. They forgot the appetizer, then the bread, then brought us the wrong water. Sounds silly but it was 2 hours of me getting up and down from the table to find a server as servers didn’t stop to us and there were many different ones. We live in the Netherlands and all agree we will never go back

Location
Set on a moored ship away from the city center, the location divides opinion: little within walking distance, and public transport or taxis can be limited at times. Water taxi and free shuttles help reach metro sights and cruise terminals.

Good unique property, very comfortable. Huge carpark infront of ship. Ferry service adjacent to ship allows for access to the pedestrian tunnel to walk to Het Park and Euromast (ferry runs 0700-1000 & 1345-1800). Able to walk to central Rotterdam (Cube Houses, etc) in about 45 minutes, felt very safe.

Interesting for a short stay. Don’t expect the full cruise ship feel. The vibe is not the same. The ship is an interesting novelty place to stay for a night. Location does not provide for off ship walks or dining, but the onboard dining room is good. Portion sizes for meals such as the half ribs are ridiculously large.

This property provides a unique experience. It is like taking a step back in time because it was a working cruise ship once upon a time. The rooms are spacious, not like current cruise cabins. The beds are soft, not firm. The amenities in the room and bathroom are similar to what you’d find at any decent hotel. The staff are friendly and welcoming from the moment you approach the property. We were greeted outside by the bell captain who helped us with our luggage and brought us aboard to the guest services area. People at the front desk are very helpful. Food in the restaurant was ok. Beef brisket should have been more tender, but meals that others had were fine. The location is close to the cruise port, which was great because we were sailing on Holland America and this hotel provides free shuttle service to the cruise terminal. This service was excellent! They took our bags right to the ship so embarkation was easy. I would definitely recommend this property. They also offer discounted tours of the ship for hotel guests. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to take advantage of this.

Breakfast is frequently praised for variety and quality, and many enjoy the Lido restaurant and bar offerings. Some note average meals, limited openings or reservations required, slow service on decks, and ordering/payment glitches.

Myself and my partner stayed for 4 days, beautiful location and beautiful ship. However, when on the deck the staff are not helpful. We couldn’t pay via their app so we were sat around waiting for a very long time for someone to take our order as we couldn’t pay at the bar, customer service was not the best. Some staff were very lovely and then some were not helpful. Again, very very beautiful ship and EXCEPTIONALLY clean but the air con was rubbish and windows do not open! It got very warm in the room.

SS Rotterdam looks better on internet. At arrival you can only visit the vessel by buying an additional voucher. No diner possible fully booked at 11.00 in the morning. Steak-cheese sandwich was without steak and poor quality for the price. Paied almost 200 euro for a room with breakfast with no working aico. For once and never again.

There was great wow factor arriving, and the novelty factor of staying on a boat was fun for the kids. As a hotel it was underwhelming. The bus connection is regular but the bus stops are in fairly ‘sketchy’ spots, I wouldn’t have felt safe as a lone woman. The shuttle is great but stops at 6pm, it would be better running later into the evening once dark rather than during the day. The rooms are kitsch with the period styling and they were immaculately clean. The corridor carpets were dirty and the smell of old smoking rooms permeated everywhere unfortunately. Reception staff were friendly but either unknowledgable or reluctant to help. We arrived at 9pm after a long journey to be told the kitchen was closed and there was no food available on board. The receptionist couldn’t recommend anywhere to go out to eat. They did say we could order a delivery but couldn’t recommend anywhere for that which was unhelpful. It was disappointing that we weren’t able to visit the upper deck, this was open to visitors doing the door but not for paying guests. We joked that we felt like we were in steerage! The breakfast was great. There was no reduced price for children which made that expensive, but it was great quality and they had a huge selection of options. All in all it was a fun choice of hotel for a couple of nights.

De oude grandeur die het schip uitstraalt geeft een extra aan je verblijf. We hebben enorm genoten van deze mooie accommodatie! Wat wel vlotter kon was de bediening bij het ontbijt. De koffiemachines waren defect en het duurde echt lang eer dit in orde was. Ook de portie linguini bij het diner in het Lido was veel te klein in vergelijking met de prijs die je betaalde. Na overleg werd dit wel opgelost. Chapeau voor het personeel dus!

We stayed one night on the ss Rotterdam with 2 kids (16 and 12). Both liked the experience and the water taxi to the MarketHall. Nice change from a standard hotel. The pool unfortunately was closed and the dinner service at Lido (on board restaurant), was fully booked so we ended up at the bar and ate snacks which worked well. There was enough selection that even the pickiest eaters found something. Did not get a chance for the tour but would like to do it in the future. Would recommend staying here.
