Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Staying at Floats By H2Otel is often described as a unique experience right in the heart of Rotterdam, with its central location placing you within a short walk of the Cube Houses and about 20 minutes from Central Station. Many guests appreciate the cozy rooms, some featuring balconies with river views, perfect for relaxing. The breakfast is a highlight, with the Croque Madame being a favorite; however, some have found the vegan options limited. Conveniently located near Blaak train station, this floating hotel offers a nice bar area with a patio onto the water and, while rare, some guests have noted noise issues.

the staff i interacted with were nice. it seemed like they tried.

the room i had booked, a 'standard double or twin room', was not what i was expecting. it was cold when i came. it proved difficult to warm it up even with the heating turned up high. i felt a distinct chill from the water below, it was unsettling.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

The room was quite dark. It lacked daylight and felt rather gloomy. There wasn't a hair dryer available for use, inconvenient.

Wonderful boat stay!

clean roomevening terraceparking situation

I loved the room. It was very clean. The restaurant food tasted AMAZING!!! I enjoyed sitting on the terrace in the evening. Renting a bike was easy for touring the area.

I noticed that the parking situation is BIZARRE. I had to pay a deposit for a laminated sheet of paper. Gaining access to my vehicle felt unnecessarily complicated.
