Bredestraathof & Bredestraat

Bredestraathof & Bredestraat Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Bredestraathof & Bredestraat? I was expecting some cookie-cutter hotel experience, but this place actually has character. It’s tucked right in the heart of Rotterdam‘s Centrum district, and I mean literally in the thick of things – you step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by that energetic Dutch city buzz that Rotterdam does so well.

The whole setup is honestly pretty clever. This three-star property feels more like staying in a well-designed apartment than a typical hotel, which makes sense when you see how they’ve worked with the historic building structure. The rooms have this understated, almost Scandinavian vibe – clean lines, lots of natural light, and none of that overly fussy hotel furniture that always feels like it’s trying too hard. I particularly appreciated the little kitchenette areas; there’s something satisfying about being able to grab fresh stroopwafels from the nearby market and actually have a proper place to enjoy them with coffee in the morning. The floors can be a bit creaky – you’re dealing with an older building here – but honestly, it adds to the charm rather than detracting from it.

What really sold me on this place, though, is the location intelligence. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from Markthal, and the Blaak metro station is close enough that getting around the city becomes effortless. I spent one evening just wandering the surrounding streets, and there’s this perfect mix of local cafés and more tourist-friendly spots – you can grab a quick bite at places where you’ll actually hear Dutch being spoken, which I always take as a good sign. The 7.4 rating makes sense to me; it’s not luxury by any stretch, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. The staff seemed genuinely knowledgeable about Rotterdam rather than just reciting generic recommendations, and check-in was refreshingly straightforward. If you’re looking for marble bathrooms and concierge service, this isn’t your spot – but if you want a solid, well-located base for exploring Rotterdam without paying premium prices, I’d honestly recommend giving it a shot.

To book a hotel in Rotterdam during major events like Architecture Month, travelers need early planning as this dynamic city draws visitors eager to experience its cutting-edge skyline and world-famous urban innovations.

Bredestraathof & Bredestraat Accommodations

Reviews of Bredestraathof & Bredestraat

• Spacious and clean place, good to stay as long as you have no car. – Devendraprasad from United Kingdom – August 24, 2025 (8/10)

  Very nice location, all important places were in the vicinity of 2-3 kms. Tube and tram stations were near too. Property was very clean, spacious and looks newly renovated. Host was responding to all our questions on timely manner.
  
  What could be improved: No microwave, struggled heating food but that was advertised so no complaints.
  New Hob fixed but not working. Only one toilet and sink clogged every time we used it. There was a big packed door kept in the lounge. Housekeeping team regularly accessed the apartment while we were in it, the door separating the main apartment door and inner apartment had a digital lock but not working. On the last day we got message requesting to bin the trash in municipal bins but none were at the location stated. Host sent picture of a bin which was few months old.
  Parking in the area is EUR 6.18 per hour with no free times except at night from 11 pm to 9 am the next morning.

  What could be improved: later checkout at same price

• Very enjoyable – Kate from United Kingdom – November 20, 2024 (8/10)

• Very Good – Anamari from Slovenia – July 3, 2024 (8/10)

• Pleasant – Duncan from United Kingdom – August 26, 2025 (6/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: Unbelievably hot and stuffy, no opening windows in any of the bedrooms.

• Pleasant stay – Maja from Slovenia – June 26, 2025 (9/10)

  Comfortable apartment with a lots of space, located in a buzzing and creative area of the city. Whole family was satisfied. Communication with company which takes care of this place was nice, clear and prompt. Have in mind that you will need to register on their special app to pay a deposit.
  
  What could be improved: Somehow we couldn’t regulate the temperature in the apartment. However, ventilator was helpful.

• Wonderful – Timothy from Australia – June 26, 2025 (9/10)

  Excellent location within Rotterdam, owner was friendly and helpful. Accommodation is clean, well maintained, and has good facilities.
  
  What could be improved: Only negatives I can think of are the kitchen could do with a better knife, and being over 6ft tall makes using the laundry in the loft a little uncomfortable.

• Exceptional – Siri from Norway – June 2, 2025 (10/10)

  Very clean and modern! Easy system with codes. When you travel as a group to an event to meet more friends everyone don’t go home at the same time. No hassle with keycards, just a quick code and you’re in a comfortable bed!

• Wonderful – Henry from Germany – April 20, 2025 (9/10)

  Located pretty central and good equipment.
  
  What could be improved: Only windows in the front, hard to get fresh air into the bedrooms.

• Comfortable, quiet, well equipped – Ioana from Germany – May 16, 2024 (9/10)

  We actually stayed at a different apartment, because of water damage at this one, nevertheless, since i assume less the same standard of apartments, i assume the conditions are the same.
  
  Apartment was very clean, kitchen well equipped, furniture new and modern. Good remote communication with the team.
  
  What could be improved: Didn’t have a microwave and the hallway was dirty. Definitely not a showstopper, but that’s why i would give a 9 instead of 10
