Hilton Rotterdam is the dependable choice for visitors who want the facilities of an international hotel and an address close to the station. It stands on the Weena, the broad boulevard that runs from Rotterdam Centraal towards the river, in the business and shopping heart of the city. Trains to Amsterdam, The Hague, Delft and Schiphol leave from the station, trams and the metro stop nearby, and the Lijnbaan, one of the first pedestrian shopping streets in Europe, begins a few minutes away on foot. The hotel is a modern high-rise with a spacious lobby, a restaurant and a lounge bar, a fitness room and meeting facilities that make it popular with business travellers as well as families on a city break. The rooms are comfortable and practical, with the usual features of a hotel in this category, and the upper floors have long views over the rooftops towards the river and the port. For anyone who is planning day trips by train, it is hard to beat for convenience.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the Weena, within walking distance of Rotterdam Centraal, which is the main hub for trains, trams, metro and buses. From here the Markthal and the Cube Houses are about fifteen to twenty minutes on foot or a couple of stops by metro, and the Erasmus Bridge and the Kop van Zuid are reached by metro in a few minutes.
If you are carrying luggage, the proximity to the station is a real advantage on arrival and departure days. The Museumpark, with the Depot and the Kunsthal, is a short tram ride away.
Rooms
Expect standard rooms with a comfortable bed, a work desk, a good bathroom and the usual tea and coffee facilities, with executive and suite categories for those who want more space. Room details differ by category and floor, so check the room description for bed types and view when you book. Families can ask about connecting or larger rooms, and travellers who need accessible rooms should check availability and request one in advance.
Facilities
The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, a fitness area and meeting rooms, and the usual services of a larger hotel, such as a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage. Breakfast is often a rate option rather than included, so compare room-only and breakfast rates before you book. A city tourist tax is added to the bill, and parking, where available, is charged separately, so ask the hotel or check the current details before you travel.
Who it suits
Business travellers, families who want facilities and a central station location, and visitors using Rotterdam as a base for day trips to Delft, The Hague, Gouda or Amsterdam by train. It is less atmospheric than Hotel New York or Pincoffs, so it is a better fit if convenience matters more than character.
Good to know
The streets around the station are busy during the day and quieter in the evening, and the hotel is a few minutes from the lively streets of the centre, with plenty of restaurants nearby. Water taxis and the harbour are a metro ride away rather than on the doorstep.
