Le Marin Boutique Hotel

All the front desk hotel staff were very responsive, efficient, and supportive. Breakfast was excellent, but expensive and was in addition to the cost of the room. The one thing lacking was having a simple restaurant on site throughout the day, (which I believe they had before COVID) as there was no restaurant within easy walking distance, and making arrangements for an evening meal was always away from the hotel, requiring a taxi both ways. Regular taxis in Rotterdam were unreliable, even when specifically called, except if the hotel itself called on our behalf. It appears that most people now use ride services (ex. Uber) The hotel is too distant from the main tourist areas to walk, but it is close to public transport, which the staff were willing to explain if you chose to use it.

What matters for me the most is a comfortable bed and a good shower. Both were very good. Also the overall appearance is quite pleasant, modern and not cheap looking, although maybe a tad too dark, but that is personal taste.

The location was convenient for the train station, a 10 minute walk, which is why I choose it. however, it’s a good 20 minute walk to the centre. There was very little (bars/restaurants) close by. The room was very clean and modern, very comfy and big double bed. Staff were friendly enough.

Nice room, updated furnishings, modern bathroom clean, bed was comfortable and room was dark. Could not hear any noise in hallways, and staff were friendly. Walking distance to cafes and 5 min walk to Rotterdam central. Would stay here again.
