Our guide on where to stay in Rotterdam

Find the best Rotterdam areas for the activities you enjoy most.

Centrum

Rotterdam's Centrum is where striking skyscrapers like the Maastoren stand boldly alongside historic treasures. This dynamic business district balances modern architecture with glimpses of pre-war heritage. The iconic Erasmus Bridge spans the Nieuwe Maas River, creating a stunning waterfront scene. Shop along Lijnbaan's pedestrian streets or explore cultural landmarks like Rotterdam City Theatre. Central Station makes getting around simple for both business travellers and tourists. The area transforms from bustling business hub by day to quieter sophistication after hours.

Delfshaven

Delfshaven charms visitors with its 14th-century cobblestone streets and picturesque canals. This historic Rotterdam harbour district showcases beautifully preserved canal houses reflecting in peaceful waterways. The iconic Pilgrim Fathers Church stands as a reminder of those who worshipped here before sailing to America. The area balances heritage with vibrant local life centred around the waterfront. Visitors can explore maritime museums or sample craft beers at De Pelgrim brewery. Traditional Dutch cafes line the harbour where historic ships create a postcard-perfect scene against Rotterdam's modern skyline.

Katendrecht

Katendrecht has transformed from an industrial harbour into Rotterdam's creative pulse. Once gritty docks now host the bustling Fenix Food Factory in a converted warehouse. Europe's first Chinatown still thrives here with authentic restaurants serving traditional cuisine. The waterfront shines with cafés overlooking the Maas River. Walhalla Theatre and Rotterdam Circus School anchor the arts scene. Creative studios occupy former warehouses, making this peninsula perfect for travellers seeking cultural experiences with industrial heritage.

Dordrecht Centrum

If you're spending some time in Dordrecht Centrum, Visbrug and Het Hof are top sights worth seeing.

Kralingen-Crooswijk

Kralingen-Crooswijk blends upscale living with working-class charm in Rotterdam. The beautiful Kralingse Bos park and its large lake offer perfect spots for walking, cycling, and sailing. Historic 19th-century mansions in Kralingen contrast with Crooswijk's authentic Dutch residential streets and industrial heritage. The area has a welcoming college atmosphere thanks to nearby Erasmus University. Local restaurants serve traditional Dutch fare alongside international options in cosy settings. Travellers appreciate this residential haven for its peaceful streets, excellent cycling infrastructure, and genuine glimpse into everyday Dutch life away from tourist crowds.

"Last time I was in Rotterdam, I stayed in a hotel that cost 3 x as much, and I enjoyed my stay here much more, it is quirky but great for one or two nights, the bed was really comfortable, the shower was lovely. There is no TV in the room nor outside window should that matter to you....normally not being able to open a window is a pain point for me as I hate air con, but it was no problem and I slept really well. Very close to the train station, I plan on staying here again when I am next in town."

"Perfectly located between a 5-15mins walk from many of the main attractions, shopping and eating areas. And if not, the metro and tram lines are a few minutes’ walk away. Easy check-in process, and if you can’t use the digital check-in system, there’s always someone at hand to help. Lockers are available if you arrive before check-in or need to store luggage after check-out. The room is comfy, clean, and has plenty of space to hang/store luggage. The shower, although contained and large, opens out directly into the room (lacks privacy for changing). A lovely, stylish hotel with all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. I’d recommend it!"

"The property was quiet and well maintained. Check-in was easy with the self-service method, and I really liked the workspace area, which provided a coffee machine and lots of space for socializing or working. The surrounding area isn't the most appealing in the evening, but I didn't have any safety concerns. But the location is very convenient for tourist sites in Rotterdam."

Haven Hotel Rotterdam, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good
"We have been travelling in europe for over a month now. We booked the King Superior Room with Harbor View for 4 nights and the view was amazing but the hotel experience was pretty underwhelming compared with many of the other properties we stayed at even at the higher cost. The room is large and has a table to sit around and enjoy the view but the table only had 1 chair. We had to use the luggage rack for a chair. We asked for another chair 3 times and finally had one brought to the room our 2nd evening we were there. There were no wine glasses in the room to enjoy a glass of wine at the table once we had a 2nd chair. The bartender was nice enough to lend us a couple of glasses but then housekeeping took them away the next day. We just gave up and drank wine from the water glasses after that. Most of the places we stayed had usb charging ports but nothing here. I assume most people that book these rooms book as a couple so wouldn't 2 chairs and a couple of wine glasses make sense? The hotel location is great but there was not one thing (outside of the harbor view) you could call a special touch that makes it worth the extra cost or that would make you want to come back."

Probably saw a handful of people over the stay but everyone kept themselves to themselves. CityHub is nicely decorated and it felt bright and spacious. Would recommend."
