“Terrible!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2010
4
people found this review helpful

If your planning to stay at this place because its cheap dont!!
On arrival we were greeted by the stench of wet dog and stairs that would have given season mountain climbers problems.....the stairs were practically vertical and very narrow.
When you finally reach the reception you are greeted by very surly and unfriendly staff whom proceeded to try and charge us an extra 5% on top of what we had paid.
The room was very small but suffice for our needs although the air conditioning did not work (as someone had removed the buttons!!!)
There as a total lack of hygiene and the cuboards and draws had not been cleaned for a very long time (in one draw i found a half eaten toffee covered in dust!!!)
The shower was ok but after a few minutes of showering the whole bathroom would fill with water.
The toilet was a joke it is literally against the bathroom door with the sink on your right shoulder.
The area is a little grimy but ok, next to the hotel is a coffee shop and shop with some unsavoury characters hanging about late at night.
The transport into Rotterdam was good with a tram litterally outside the hotel door and 5 stops into the centre of Rotterdam.
After 1 night we moved out despite paying for 3 nights....it was more than a grown man like myself could bear!!
Overall if i have to give marks out of 10 it would just about get a 1 purely because it is cheap, i would recommend you save your money and book elsewhere

“Worst place ever!!!!! It made me sick!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2009

person found this review helpful

This is by far the worst place we ever stayed! I am surprised that there is no authority in a country like the Netherlands that check hotels! This hotel should not be aloud to have a licence. My dogs stay in a better place like this! We left this place in the middle of the night because we thought this was not good for our health. Dirt all over the floor. Junkies everywhere! Probably this is the place where they stay! Although we were drunk, we couldn't stay! my advice... don't go here!!!!!!! Hotel Benelux Rotterdam the most horrible place were you can go!

“DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2009

person found this review helpful

This the worst place i've ever stayed. Where do i start, the stairs are like a ladder and the receptionist don't speak english! The area the hotel is in is ghetto and i heard bottles being smashed outside and allsorts. The bathroom was so small i couldn't even have a dump with the door closed. I could go on forever but the bottom lone is after the first night i paid 150 euro a night to stay somewhere else because it was that bad. Don't bother wasting your time or money!

“'we won't go back there' hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2008
1
person found this review helpful

The experience rate is "Average" but not because of the hotel, but because of the experience we got in the Netherlands. When we got to the Benelux (it was hard to find and the neighborhood was a bit scary), we had to carry our luggage to the 2nd floor on the stairs, 'cos no other opportunity was given; the staff did not know good English, but tried to be helpful. The room was small, there was a big bed in it and that's it. The tv was broken, at least we could not use it. A plus is that there was wireless connection. If you are not an easy sleeper, the neighbors will probably give a hard time in the evening, the walls being very thin. If you took a shower, the whole bathroom got wet and floody; there was no place for our luggage...very very small room, not enough for two people, it was not cleaned properly (only the bathroom was clean)...so it is rather a hostel than a hotel. It happened that we could not enter our room because the card was locked after three days, but it was solved easily.
We would probably not go back to the Benelux, even if the average experience of Netherlands was good.

  • Liked — the price was good
  • Disliked — the room size and the others mentioned above:)
