Hotels near De Schone Lei in Rotterdam

We stayed at The James for 5 nights in the middle of July. It's a nice hotel - centrally located that' s walking distance to the train station, restaurants and attractions. The room we stayed in was a good size and nicely appointed. As part of the package we had use of 2 bikes for a full day. We took the bikes out on July 19 for a ride around Kinderdijk, which was about 20km away by waterbus. One of the bikes felt sluggish from the start but we attributed the problem to underinflated tires. Unfortunately, that wasn't the issue. It was making a loud pinging noise when it was put in reverse as in backing out of a bike rack on the ferry. The pedals were freewheeling as soon as we started riding when we came off the ferry. I emailed the hotel about the issue immediately but didn't hear anything back for over half an hour. A local pointed us to a bike shop 2 km away and off we went. This was the hottest day (39 C) the Netherlands had experienced in over a decade and we had almost 60 km to cover, so we wanted an earlier start. By the time the hotel emailed us back we were already at the bike shop getting it fixed. There's simply no way that we'd wait another hour or 2 for the hotel to send help. The mechanic was so disappointed with the bike's condition that he said the hotel should pay for the repair and that they may call him if they had any questions. The front desk told us their bike supplier would likely pay us back for the repair but 3 weeks later we're still waiting. The point is: I took the bike from the hotel, not their supplier. Any reasonable hotel would compensate their customers and deal with their supplier on their own. I'm not going to get too upset losing 35 euros but this shows how terrible customer service is with this hotel. You may stay there and it should be OK as long as nothing goes wrong.

The room was very nice, vibrant colors, bed was awesome, all very clean. But the big mistake they made with the renovation were the doors. They slam with a very big bang, so when anyone else on the floor enters the room, it all shakes. And then they are not isolated, you can understand discussions happening outside the room. And then, for the breakfast, dinner, lunch: only christmas music. But of the worst kind. There is no place in the region to escape this in the morning, so you have to deal with the christmas music. And for 17 euro's, it's not even worth actually what you get after your ears are in pain with ”jolly happy christmas” three times during breakfast.

After stay at the Copenhagen CityHub I thought why not give this Rotterdam one a go as my experience before was great. Well firstly my god it was noisy, I had requested a quiet pod in the hotel as I'm a very light sleeper (even with earplugs in and pillow overhead lol) . So I was placed near the toilets/showers.... Ding ding ding alarms should have been going off then as the amount of banging those toilets/showers doors and the thumping of the people who sounded like they was thumping past all the pods (request a top pod in future). With ear plugs I was woken up early by other pod users who didn't have a care about anybody else who would have even been asleep as long as the could have a chat in the hall ways as loud as possible. So if you are going out and getting drunk this hotel is perfect for you but if you are on a sightseeing trip and wanting a early night we'll best of luck with that. None of my USB chargers were working in my pod but luckily I had brought a plug with more than 1 socket on it for charging. You get what you pay here and for a single person it's the cheapest option in the city. Lockers are huge and fitted my large suitcase in very easily. Staff very helpful as usual especially the American guy. Would I stay again, I'm afraid I wouldn't at this one as far too noisy for me. Maybe big groups shouldn't be all put on same floor and then they can meet in area downstairs and chat as loud as possible as they want at any time that suits them.

Very clean room ! Location is perfect, the hotel is located between restaurants and pubs The hotel workers are very kind too

Booked this in a rush without checking TA - big mistake. On checking in the staff (who were the only positive) handed me some ear plugs !. At this point I considered walking to another hotel (should have done). You will not get any sleep here - with earplugs in the street noise was almost bearable (soft thudding of the nearby club) however the paper thin walls internally meant you could loudly hear other residents - I’m a heavy sleeper and was woken up at 4:45 (after finally getting to sleep at 1) - now this didn’t seem to be loud partygoers, just people talking relatively loudly managed to wake me up with earplugs in !!. WiFi/tv etc all fine, no air con so hot, but the other thing was I read these reviews before I went to bed on bedbugs. To be clear I didn’t see any - but to mitigate I slept above the covers with a long sleeve T-shirt. I do have a bite on my ankle but that may be a mozzie / happened elsewhere. This place is only fit for people on a big night out - get smashed, pass out on the bed, leave as it is in a great location. Anyone else heed the above - harder to enjoy a great city with no sleep.

I don't know if I've left a negative review before but I was really disappointed by my stay at hotel not hotel Rotterdam. The concept of the hotel is truly a great idea but it appears to really needs updated and better maintained. Positives: it's a fun concept for a hotel, it's close to the train station, the bed was comfy. The food was nice (if/when it arrived). Negatives: the hotel seems to need a paint job and a number of shared space fittings need updated (broken windows and glass on elevator lift). Whilst there are some nice members of staff, nobody seems to know what's going on, particularly for breakfast. The breakfast doesn't get served until 8 and even going down straight away it took 40 mins for a smoothie bowl and a croissant which really isn't ideal when you have already a late start for breakfast. I unfortunately was also given out of date UHT milk for my tea. One day my breakfast order was just forgotten with only 4 tables occupied. The rooms are not terribly well sound proofed so I could hear the reception and people in the corridor singing loudly on the Friday night. Again they could really do with a fresh paint and for marks and fittings to be updated. I get the impression that the hotel is quite understaffed as there was only one staff member available for both check out at 7.45 am which was a challenge when one guest wanted to check out and the other was trying to get an early breakfast (which had not been communicated between the staff from the previous day). All in all, whilst this place has promise and photographs well, I would advise against staying here until they update and upgrade the hotel and improve staffing. Sorry hotel not hotel, I hope you can improve in future.

The hotel is a very professional reception team and all the staff in this hotel that I will not hesitate to classify as the best Ibis Styles attended in recent years. It is a very recent hotel, but it is easy to see that it has been designed with very good quality equipment and materials. The decoration (hall, bar, restaurant, rooms) is tastefully made without forgeting the comfort that some architects forget when designing some hotels. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable, and it is very comfortable and comfortable at the bar, restaurant and breakfast. The restaurant (Italy) offers varied and quality sets. It feels like to satisfy and do well. Beautiful small wine map. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable and is very comfortable and comfortable. The hotel is located in front of the Ahoy's omnisport and concert hall. The hotel is located in the centre of Rotterdam, 5 minutes walk from the Zuidplein Metro station, which allows you to reach the Rotterdam Central Station in a little more than 10 minutes and the hyper centre of Rotterdam in 5 minutes. In conclusion, even if we have the chance to visit more premium hotels, I will qualify the IBIS Styles Ahoy as one of the best hotels visited for 25 years in the Accor group. We'll come back.

Zeer net en ruim opgezet hotel met voldoende parkeergelegenheid. Schone kamers, niet super de luxe; maar van alle gemakken voorzien je kunt een bakje koffie of thee op de kamer klaarmaken en met fijne bedden (1102). Vriendelijk en behulpzaam, Nederlands sprekend, personeel. Je kunt tot 23.45 nog een drankje bestellen in de lounge, mocht je dat willen. Het ontbijtbuffet is behoorlijk uitgebreid met diverse broodjes (hard/zacht/hartig/zoet), English breakfast, verschillende soorten yoghurt, fruit en beleg en american pancakes en een grote diversiteit aan warme en koude dranken. Er loopt voldoende, vriendelijk personeel rond waardoor je je erg welkom voelt. Wat helaas, vooral voor onze kinderen, erg vervelend was, was dat er een mevrouw in het hotel verbleef die nare en beledigende dingen naar ons riep toen wij na het ontbijt terug gingen naar onze hotelkamer. Het kwam op ons over alsof zij behoorlijk onder invloed was van iets; ze liep/ danste intimiderend in de foyer rond in haar badjas en met een handdoek om haar haar gebonden alsof ze de hele nacht al sinds de avond ervoor onderweg was naar de badkamer. Ze lachte onze zoon uit toen hij bijna tussen de liftdeur kwam wat voor hem echt heel vervelend was. Voor een net hotel als dit was dat wel een afknapper na zo'n geweldig ontbijt en verblijf. Als ik de eigenaar was had ik haar eruit gezet. Wat ook jammer was, waren de omgevingsgeluiden. Rondom het hotel is men bezig met werkzaamheden waardoor je (zelfs op de 11e verdieping) vroeg gewekt wordt door vrachtwagens die af en aan rijden.

Stayed here for one evening and enjoyed the comfort of the bed and the excellent front-desk service. The location seemed isolated from town. While it had AC, I couldn’t get the room to feel cool as the thermostat only allows for changes of +/- 3 degrees from whatever central temp they have programmed. While I wasn’t a fan of the service in the restaurant, I was happy in the hotel and bar.

Stayed for two nights and thought it was okay. Plus there is still a little time in Rotterdam. Just one more night. The location of the hotel is really good. You can buy everything you need for travel within a 5-minute walk.
