What guests think

At Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam - Blijdorp, guests describe comfortable stays in spacious rooms, but also report dated decor and maintenance or cleanliness lapses; the location suits the airport and zoo, though it is not central.

Service feedback is mixed, ranging from very friendly and helpful to curt reception and slow responses, with a few complaints about check-out or billing. Dining is a highlight for many, with good restaurant meals and varied breakfasts, but several find breakfast overpriced and occasionally busy with queues or slower replenishment. Facilities are practical rather than plush: parking typically uses the nearby zoo lot with a small per-exit fee and limited spaces, and e-bikes are available; the hotel is dog-friendly. Overall, expect a convenient base with solid comforts and some inconsistencies.

In eerste instantie kregen we een kamer die ons wat tegen viel omdat we voor minder geld beter gewend waren bij Van der Valk. Maar het personeel heeft het meer dan goed gemaakt met een andere kamer die uitstekend was! Dit hotel ligt op een goede locatie. Het ontbijt is fantastisch, uitgebreider dan we bij andere hotels hebben gezien. Als je vervoer goed plant, rij spitsvrij bijvoorbeeld dan is het op deze plek in een drukke verkeerslocatie best te doen. Gewoon bij Diergaarde Blijdorp op het parkeerterrein parkeren in de buurt van de ingang van het hotel en soms heb je geluk en staan de bomen open om uit te rijden. Anders kost een uitrijkaart je vier euro bij de receptie van het hotel. Dat is een koopje vergeleken bij de prijs voor diezelfde uitrijkaart aan de kassa van Diergaarde Blijdorp voor een dag parkeren. Dan kost het je €12,50 voor een dag. Kortom eij vinden dit hotel een aanrader. Zeker voor mensen met een hond!

Parfait, propre et confortable ! Bus allant au centre ville a 5min a pied, parking pas cher mais faut payer 4e pour sortir a chaque fois donc prevoir de la laisser sur place et prendre les transports. La vente ou location de carte OV-chipkaart pour prendre le bus pourrait etre disponible à l'accueil car sans elle on peut pas prendre de bus, faut l'acheter dans les stations de métro (7e50), puis la charger car elle est sans crédit. Ils ne la reprennent pas non plus pour que d'autres puissent en profiter lorsque l'on part et qu'elle ne nous est plus necessaire. Dommage.

Easy check in and out, staff helpful and friendly. Place is not as clean as it was when I visited 6 months ago and the room I had was a bit run down. Breakfast is not a bad selection, but overpriced as it’s quite poor quality. Overall the hotel is quite good value for money though and well located near the airport. Not well located if you need to be near the centre, but the local bus service is not bad.

Fint nok. Lidt brugt på gangene og kunne ha brug for mere rengøring. Værelset vi havde - manglede det også lidt renovering. Der var afrevet tapet ved vinduet, kunne nok ha været udbedret. Personalet var flinke og behjælpsomme. Morgenmaden var fin, manglede ikke noget. Så alt i alt fint nok. Boede sidste år på det samme hotel i Zwolle - der var alt fantastisk.

Stale hotel - comfortable beds and good blackout curtains but light comes in through a large gap in the bedroom door. Kettle and hairdryer in room didn’t work, they had no room available for me at check-in time, common parts on my floor (4) were filthy. Battery was low on my door lock so awkward to get into the room. Staff were indifferent to issues. Room is really badly appointed with big sections unlit. It’s not even handy for Rotterdam. I would absolutely not recommend.

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

Rooms

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable with effective blackout curtains, but many feel they are dated and note maintenance issues (noisy or weak AC, broken amenities, TV reception) and practical annoyances like twin beds as doubles or splash-prone showers. Complimentary water is typically not provided and minibars may be empty.

Eigentlich ein nettes Hotel, für eine Nacht kurz zur Übernachtung und direkt weiterzureisen, völlig ausreichend. Leider haben die kein Trinkwasser auf den Zimmern. Wenn man spät Nachts ankommt und keine Wasserflaschen auf dem Zimmer vorhanden ist, ist man natürlich frustriert. Wegen der Lage kann man auch nicht in den nächsten Supermarkt und um diese Uhrzeit hat sowieso alles geschlossen. Ergo muss man teuer Wasser an der Hotelbar kaufen.

Staff were nice enough and ok hotel. But the room was not good; a so called double bed was two twins together and it only ever wanted to seperate in the middle. The aircon made a very subtle noise all night, making it hard to sleep, the room we had did not black out either, with the windows (which you couldn’t open to get air in) looking down into the foyer, so constant light all night. All of which made it hard to sleep.

De deur van de kamer kon niet op slot s’nachts. Jammer genoeg kon de airco niet lager dan 18 graden, wat behoorlijk warm is voor de nacht. Voor de rest, een prima kamer. Het ontbijt viel een beetje tegen. Lange rijen voor de enige koffieautomaat en de enige sapautomaat. Duurde ook een beetje lang voordat alles weer was aangevuld.
