Hotels near Rotterdam The Hague Airport - RTM, Rotterdam

We stayed for 3 nights at this lovely location! Nice apartment over 2 levels with a well equipped kitchen close to shops. We used it as a base for day trip to The Hague and to the tulip gardens. if you don’t have a local debit card do not park in the parking station at the shopping centre. There is nobody on-site to help and the machine wouldn’t except our cards. Thankfully a helpful local helped out with his card. Other parking avail close by We cooked and ate in. Local people very helpful and friendly.

It fitted our purpose for attending a wedding at a nearby location. We did not have our own transport and had to use taxis. It was a beautiful property with access to local shops and a few restaurants.

We visited Rotterdam as a family of four—two adults and two children aged 10 and 12—and stayed for 3 nights. It was a fantastic short break packed with fun and variety! On the first day, we went on a 75-minute Pancake Cruise, which was a highlight for the kids and adults alike. You can eat unlimited pancakes with a wide range of toppings—just be aware that drinks are charged separately. The next day, we spent the full day at Rotterdam Zoo. The weather was lovely, and we walked almost the entire day—so wear comfortable shoes and aim to arrive early (by 9 AM). It took us around 6.5 hours to explore everything, including a relaxing lunch break. It’s one of the best zoos we’ve visited in years—highly recommended! On our final day, we visited Miniworld Rotterdam, which was fun and fascinating, especially for the kids. We also managed to explore nearby landmarks like the Euromast, Erasmus Bridge, Cube Houses, and Market Hall before ending the day with some shopping. Rotterdam is great for shopping too! In summary, Rotterdam is a brilliant city for a family trip—fun, walkable, and full of things to do. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely recommend it to others!

Good selection of restaurants and a supermarket - more than ‘google maps’ showed before our visit. It’s close to main routes but feels like the middle of the countryside, with a relaxed vibe and friendly locals

It is nice city, with Netherlands vibe, less Tourists than Amsterdam and more business city. In general it is grate, nice places to see, CoolHaven-Delfhaven. Everything is in reach of Metro. Metro is really convenient - you can even get directly to beach by it. Downside : overall service level here is low, guess there is a lot of people who lives here, and they just don't care. At least in most of my experience. But there are really nice exceptions, what makes makes even more happy. Best antique shop in Rotterdam is Stichting de Majum (also 010foto) with really kind people and best coffee and people Evermore. With owner spoke about crows almost an hour.

Rotterdam was a nice place to visit but very modern city. We used Rotterdam as a central location to take some interesting day trips, boat tour of the harbour, Euromast and trips to Delft and De Pier.
