We recently spent one night at the Hotel van Walsum. We were able to check in early (around 11 a.m.) without any problems. We arrived by train and walked from the station (an easy 15 minute walk). The hotel is in a nice, residential area. The tram is nearby but we walked everyone on our short visit. Our room was... More

I stayed at the Hotel van Walsum because I was doing a course at the nearby Erasmus MC. The location is very good: the hotel is at five minutes walking from the Erasmus MC, and easy to reach by public transport. I rather enjoyed my stay: the room was well-equipped and not exactly cramped, staff was friendly and the breakfast... More

This is my second time at Van Walsum. I work occasionally at Erasmus MC and it's just a five minute walk to the main entrance. The hotel is not luxurious and doesn't have too many amenities because it's a simple hotel. But they do know how to treat people decently and kindly that more than makes up for anything else....

This hotel is exactly what you need and great value for money!! The staff were super friendly and the best bars and restaurants are a stones throw away!

The bedroom (28) was large (very small tv with remote that didn't work very well) and looked like it had had a revamp recently, mainly the... More

We stayed at the Hotel Van Walsum on a overnight trip before a cruise in August 2011 and were delighted with the charm and friendliness of the staff. The rooms and bathrooms were a good size and the breakfast buffet, which was included, was wonderful. The location was a bit off from any tourist sites but we walked to a... More

I was in Rotterdam on business and so the hotel was chosen for me, but I'd absolutely choose to stay here again, and would recommend the hotel to anyone. It seems to have a great reputation amongst the locals: one morning I recognised a man at breakfast from a meeting the previous day. He told me that he lives in... More

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel prior to leaving on a cruise out of Rotterdam. I was a bit worried about the age of the building; but, as we entered through the old heavy entrance portal, we were enchanted by the charming interior, the warm welcome by the staff, and the immaculate cleanliness everywhere.The Dutch breakfast is out of...
