Hotel Baan

We stayed for 1 night only, so we hadn't the opportunity to get to know well the place, but the receptionist was really friendly and when asked for some good places she told us immediately :)

Hotel was basic and though not particularly cheap, it is when compared to other accommodation in Rotterdam. Room wasn't huge but comfortable enough for the 3 of us, shower was nice and hot. Owners friendly and welcoming, good continental spread for breakfast, and located conveniently for Metro or tram to city centre.

It was a bit far from the city center, the reception was closed at 6 p.m. so if you are late, you need to call them to get the code of the door downstairs

Next to Delfshaven and well communicated by tram and metro. Far from the centre of Rotterdam.

quiet, ample parking Tiny little old crappy towels, bad shower, in poor condition

You could comfortably walk around Delfshaven in 10 minutes, the area is mostly residential, there are a few good pubs and bars around an attractive waterfront, but really this is a small exception to the general blight. The hotel is placed slightly away from the deprivation, again, overlooking a pleasant waterfront - there is a major but not too busy road in front. A friendly, down market hotel needing major investment - public areas are shabby, my first room was poor, the second modern and acceptable, but the thin walls put you at the mercy of the young and loud crew returning from their clubbing at whatever hour. Older travellers should think twice, as should anyone with the means to afford better. Travel to the city by Metro is cheap, by taxi the reverse.
