ss Rotterdam Hotel & Restaurants

We wanted a maritime stay in Rotterdam and the "Grande Dame" was perfect. Like a old-school cruise. Very good parking. No room-service. Easy get-around with water-taxi.

Hotellbåt. Plassert på nederste dekk, vindu mot land, litt dårlig lys. Noen i resepsjonen var mindre hjelpsomme en andre. God med ganske dyr frokost. Fint med shuttlebuss til metro.

It is amazing to stay there, such a beautiful experience in such a beautiful ship, one of my best memories I will have, but a bit pity that you cannot walk around in the ship due to corona.

Until we checked out we had a wonderful time. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the ship (for a fee) which involved a guided tour of the enormous engine rooms and an unrestricted self guided audio tour of the rest of the ship. Wonderful crew cabin vignettes. We were however very disappointed with our departure. We saw no bus ticket dispensers outside the hotel so asked where to purchase one. The only option was a day pass from the front desk (8 euros per person vs 4 euros for a single two hour ticket). We therefore asked staff if we could get a five minute ride to the metro station where we could purchase a single trip ticket, in the clearly marked van sitting at the entrance to the hotel. We approached staff 3 times over the 2 days we stayed on the ship - to ensure plenty of advance notice. We were encouraged with the possibility and to check on the day we were leaving. At that last moment, "no staff are available to drive" was the "excuse". Really - in a near empty hotel during the pandemic?? Vehicle clearly parked outside at 9 am and only a 5 minute drive??? Instead they sent two 66 seniors into the pouring rain, to slog a mile to the nearest real transit point to the ship. Not the customer service we expected from a four star operation.

Part museum, part hotel. Well priced rooms with immaculately restored interior.

Unique hôtel facilities; on a former ocean liner. Great service. Centrally located for activities in Rotterdam and the Holland provinces

Was very pleasant except the promenade deck was off limits even for hotel guests. Only way to access that part was by joining a tour. It would have been nice to be able to walk there, especially after a meal in the evening.

The hotel is a very well renovated passenger vessel. Lots of nautical history.

Historic cruise ship not far from the center of the Rotterdam. Cabins are quite spacious. Buffer breakfast was full. Try this cruise experience))

Great!
