This hostel is nothing fancy but good value and perfectly adequate. The location is very good, just 10 mins. walk from Rotterdam Centraal. I would book again.

Very dirty room
Room were not clean, there was sand on the 3 beds. Floor in the bedroom was full of all sorts of stuff and bedsheets had stains of unknown origin on them. Aircon didn't work and no one came to have a look at it once it was reported at the reception

Very convinient
Had a good stay. The room was small but for one person was ok.
Loved the water pressure in the shower.
The breakfast buffet was very good.
And it’s conveniently located 5 blocks away from Rotterdam Central.

Really scruffy place. Stayed in A&O hostels before in Germany and we're pretty good. Noisy road outside room had to use ear plugs. My rule is I ask myself the question would I stay here again the answer is no.

All staff and guest were friendly, it was quiet at night which was good when we needed a sleep after being out all day.
Would recommend if you are look8ng to stay not to far from Rotterdam Central.

Its a great location but the kitchen area was really small. Room are fine. But if others talk in the hall, you can get disturbed by the noise.

The manager on duty (his name starts with a G, apologies, I am terrible with names) was excellent, outstanding, and just amazing! Every establishment needs someone like that gentleman, the world will be in safe hands, and a happier place.

It was an easy spot to walk to and from the hostel. It gave all the bare essentials needed for my trip in Rotterdam and close enough to multiple forms of transport.

Booked 2 rooms got 1
I booked 2 rooms. They apologized and said the room was the same. As I walked away they noticed my brother and niece. I had to tell them I booked 2rooms. They looked it up and said that's ok. At least it was only 1 night. The room had 2 side by side beds and a set of bunk beds. I didn't know I booked a hostel since I had filtered hostels out of my search . A little loud at night, but that is expected.

The hotel is good at the price. It’s clean enough. The hotel is not allow smoking but when you open the window, the smokes around you 😂😂. But at the price, it is very good. Breakfast at price 10€ but it’s poor and crowded.

What I did not like about my stay at A&O Rotterdam City was that the lock for the bathroom has a gap meaning anyone could be watched whilst showering and/or using the toilet. This is a breach of privacy. Secondly, I feel the room could've been kept better care of, it attracted bugs and I have received multiple bites because of it. Something extra I want to add is that the elevator to the 2nd and 3rd floors, inside the elevator sometimes the button can take a few presses to flash and take someone to the floor number they chose. This can cause some anxiety especially since the same applies to the button that opens the doors too. This hostel is very convenient, but I feel it does need to improve. I would probably come again if I visit Rotterdam again but things do need to change.
