Stayokay Hostel Rotterdam

Located in the iconic Cubes, an architectural highlight of Rotterdam. You can get private rooms (w private bath) or group rooms for cheaper. It’s located in the heart of Rotterdam, right across from the train station and the market. There is a lobby w a bar, pool table and terraces overlooking the city. They have rental bikes and access to every sort of touristy attraction. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are funky and weird and beds are surprisingly comfortable for bunkbeds. (The pillows are perfect imo) the place was full of travelers from all over the world, it’s a super fun place to stay!!

We were a party of five in a six‑bed dorm— not recommended for families. Room size The space felt cramped, as if a four‑bed room had been forced to hold six beds. Walking around meant constantly bumping into the metal bunk‑bed frames, and the upper bunks are so low that you keep hitting your head. Power sockets Outlets face downward; with travel adapters attached, our power banks kept falling out and had to be taped or propped up. Ventilation There’s only one window and it can open only a small amount, so fresh air circulation is poor and the room feels stuffy. Bathroom You have to put on your own bedsheet. Toilet takes a long time to refill before you can flush again. Shower uses a push‑button tap—you have to keep pressing it for water. The showerhead is fixed to the wall and can’t be handheld, which is inconvenient. Breakfast Good, with satisfying taste.

Hello. I have been in this accommodation for two nights. The accommodation is deceptive because it is located in the famous house of cubes. It is still a hostel where you have to pay for towels and soap, and also make the bed on duvets, pillows and mattresses that are like that. Really expensive for a hostel. The quadruple room is elongated, and it is very possible that if you are of average height, you will end up with a blow to the head. The air conditioning does not heat, you only have to look at the heating control and the light in half the room. It does not work. The breakfast, although very basic, is the best thing about the hotel. Anyway, if I had known, I would not have come.

Don’t think the room was clean, and very dusty I am afraid ..

Amazing staffs (very knowledgeable and very fast reply) pre-arrival: we arrived by ferry (Hoek van Holland); by their advise by Metro Train (stops right outside the property & good advise on what to do in Delft (day visit) arrival early: there storage for luggages and lockers for valuables (Euro 2 for small locker & Euro 4 for large lockers per 24 hours). Payments are by digital method. we booked private room, was assigned 201 (which was right under the best photo but next to the staircase, will hear a lot of noise from outside, stairs and surrounding (again it can be irritating but we are there for the "experience" so this is part of it, just be louder or tell them off nicely.) very nice that no smoking inside the room but if your choose to keep windows open, people downstair can be smoking, you will get that smell. Breakfast was very rich (slice hams, pepperoni, and lots of bread selection, fresh brew coffee machine). Bar with location and wheat beer selections, just asks. plenty of sitting areas, balcony and front. the shower and light are with timer; towels are chargeable (or bring your own) basic all in onw (shower+shampoo) dispensers, toilet rolls are provided. the linens are provided but you need to fit it yourself. Location is amazing, train station, tourist spots, restaurants & bar, shopping streets, Hall of Market, Church, post boxes and Santa Claus (close by china town) are all within 25mins walking distance. Departure day: we were able to store our luggages and stay until afternoon (our boat departure at 22:30,) they dont kick us out; we are able to drink, eat and rest around the lobby area. for people that want to stay here, this is not for the luscious and butler-serviced resort hotel; the price is for the location and artistic uniqueness. lastly, read the name "hostel" and this is build in last 1970s. after this experience, I notice life can be very simple; all those glamorous and materials are optional in life - thank you.

Nice experience of the cubic houses inside Nice place to stay one night, very good breakfast. Of course this is an hostel so don’t forget to bring your towels 😊
