19e Eeuwse Schil Holidays from £216

You get what you pay for right in this case. The hotel is shabby but the room and the bathroom were very clean. The staff were all very friendly. The location is very good as only a short walk from Rotterdam Centraal, close to the central part and the tram stop is just outside.

As a solo traveller given a single room, it was an expensive and poor value booking at over 200 Euros. The room had no porthole or window, a small single bed, and there was furniture being scraped across the floor above until 1am. My friends who booked a double room had an altogether different experience, so it really depends on what you book. Otherwise the ship is great - brilliantly restored to its former glory and really interesting to explore; providing a unique hotel experience. The staff were super helpful throughout the ship. The amenities could do with a cafe/coffee shop for just getting tea/coffee. Also, it must be the only place where I've had a buffet breaksfast (which was excellent by the way!), that does not have a toaster!!

Staff were fantastic. We really enjoyed the kitchenette facility with a shared fridge, microwave and coffee and tea. Everything was clean and felt well taken care of. We did find the pillows to be a bit small and lumpy (there were only 2 pillows on a queen size bed) and the shower does make the whole bathroom floor wet - thankfully they staff are happy to refresh your towels daily and they do have a towel warmer if you want to dry them faster yourself. There are quite a few stairs and the front door is quite heavy, so this hotel probably is not suitable for those with limited mobility.

Nice hotel with dining options a few streets from it. A little difficult to find as it's in the middle of a residential sector.

Great location and a nice room. Beware that there is no lift (we had to carry cases up 5 flights of stairs). Some other guests were noisy late at night and the doors are not soundproof!
