The accommodation is featured within a ship cabin room with modern comforts. The room that I stayed was cozy and big but with only 2 small round windows (closed). The hotel provides shuttle van to Rijnhaven metro station, only learnt that on the third day. Nevertheless, the Bus 77 is still convenient to travel between the hotel and Rijnhaven station. 👍

It's the Steamship Rotterdam... a really special surprise for my family... I told them I booked a hotel.... and only when we turned the corner dit it click that this huge ship was our hotel... Super short stay, next time a longer visit to Rotterdam. Pity that it doesn't really have good transport (frequent) to Rotterdam and the Ahoy...I had to take the car.. otherwise would have been too late for the show.

It was a great hotel, staying on a vintage steam liner was wonderful, the tour of the ship was good, the restaurant was good. The 2 things we noticed was the porthole windows were very dirty and the bathroom exhaust fan vent was hanging out of the deckhead

The SS Rotterdam was a world class cruise liner when she sailed the oceans and is now a wonderful hotel with clean and spacious retro decor accommodations. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially the doormen and shuttle drivers. Taking a guided tour of the ship is a must, the historical perspective of the guides is fantastic!

Very fun to stay on a retired cruise ship. The room.was large and comfortable. There was a bus shuttle between the hotel to our cruise ship which was fantastic. There are two dining options in the hotel which were ok, but no other dining options in the area.

It would be nice to be able to explore areas of the ship without purchasing a ticket to do so. Seems odd.

SS Rotterdam was a retired cruise ship which was gorgeous. Be great to explore the ship more.

This was a really unique experience! The ship was beautiful, the food at the restaurants was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I wish we had more time to spend on the ship!

Loved the experience on the ship

It was a unique experience!

Great space, great service, great food. Location was a bit far from things

i liked everything!!

Fantastic location to stay, and it is possible to rent bikes Rotterdam Centre is perfect for biking. Nice ship with a lot of history. Easy to park the car. Staff was very friendly and service-minded. The room was clean but the madrasses of the beds were not good and must have been in use for ages. The aircondition in the room did not work properly. The hotellbar was closed and that was a dissappointment. Breakfast was ok but nothing special considering the price. Anyway, we enjoyed our stay and will certainly come back again.

Did you sleep well. The voices of people walking in the corridor were noisy.

Myself and my partner stayed for 4 days, beautiful location and beautiful ship. However, when on the deck the staff are not helpful. We couldn’t pay via their app so we were sat around waiting for a very long time for someone to take our order as we couldn’t pay at the bar, customer service was not the best. Some staff were very lovely and then some were not helpful. Again, very very beautiful ship and EXCEPTIONALLY clean but the air con was rubbish and windows do not open! It got very warm in the room.

Very special and historic place to stay. Parking was easy, as was the access to the ship. If your accomodation is on starboard (righthand side) of the ship, then you'll be facing what looks like a scrap metal recycling/processing site. Not a problem, just visually not very appealing. Room and beds were good. What was disappointing is that the areas of the ship that are accessible to hotel guests are very limited. There is a guided and self-guided tour, but for additional money and at set times. It would have been nice (and actually expected) if this would be offered to hotel guests as part of their stay. After all, the only reason for booking a room on a historic ship is to be able to explore it.

Wonderful stay on beautiful ship. Amazing experience

Great breakfast

It's a legendary ship. What you get to see is fabulous but disappointed at how much is out of bounds, some of which you can see if you pay extra for an audiotour. Worth spending one or two nights to see it but I'd holiday elsewhere

The room was good and clean. Parking was easy. Ship is beautiful. Great option is the watertaxi. But the staff is unfortunatly not really good. The girl who checkt us in had gum in her mouth, when I checked out she made a mistake in what I had to pay. From the 4 or 5 horeca there were just 2 open.

SS Rotterdam looks better on internet. At arrival you can only visit the vessel by buying an additional voucher. No diner possible fully booked at 11.00 in the morning. Steak-cheese sandwich was without steak and poor quality for the price. Paied almost 200 euro for a room with breakfast with no working aico. For once and never again.

Great hotel, staff were helpful especially when the cool air didn’t work in the room.

Fantastic ship

good staff

The ship is beautiful inside and out and the promenade deck is stunning for a drink and sone snacks. Service amazing. Pool only for kids, this is not clear at point of booking. The main issue is the beds, although the mattress was comfy it appeared to be placed on an old sofa cushion above the bed base. Very strange. Would deffo visit again if they improved the beds.

The experience of living in an hotel in a boat was pretty unique! I love the idea of using the boat as it's meant to be even though you're not travelling anywhere

Very unique experience! Our room was quite a walk from reception but that just shows how impressively large this ship is. The room itself was lovely and clean with a very comfortable double bed as well as a fridge, wardrobe and desk, and a spotless bathroom with good-running warm shower - everything we needed! The ship is quite far from everything but there are buses a short walk away every 20 mins as well as a water taxi stop on the starboard side (again very unique!). Breakfast was rather expensive at EUR 21 ppn however it was of good variety and quality, was all-you-can-eat, and the staff kept the stock up nicely. Sidenote, all staff I encountered were friendly and welcoming. We also took part in a tour of the engine room and other below-deck ex-working areas which was very fascinating even with only being able to use an audioguide for English commentary (tour guide gave tour in Dutch but was happy to answer my questions in English).

My husband and I live on a cruise ship half the year and I am a content creator. My husband use to work on this ship. We were excited to stay here. My only advice is to not stay here in the summer. The air does not work nor does it circulate. As a ship engineer of 30 years my husband tried to tell the front desk and when we turned around to leave we were laughed at. It was my husband, 15 year old daughter and myself. It was a very bad night with no sleep. Also the restaurant: we were very excited to eat there. They forgot to put our order in. We waited 75 minutes for our meal. They forgot the appetizer, then the bread, then brought us the wrong water. Sounds silly but it was 2 hours of me getting up and down from the table to find a server as servers didn’t stop to us and there were many different ones. We live in the Netherlands and all agree we will never go back

Cruise experience

Nice experience

We had a wonderful stay! It is a great location and beautiful boat.
