Epic City Apartment Rotterdam Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Epic City Apartment Rotterdam on Van Oldenbarneveltstraat, you immediately get that “I’m in the thick of things” feeling. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Rotterdam‘s city center, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that typical Dutch urban charm — nothing too fancy, but solid and welcoming in a way that feels authentically local rather than touristy.

The Heart of Rotterdam

What really struck me about staying here is how you’re literally surrounded by everything Rotterdam has to offer. I mean, you can walk to the Markthal in about ten minutes, and the iconic cube houses are practically around the corner. The street itself is lined with cafes and shops that locals actually use — you know what I mean, the kind where you hear more Dutch than English. Couples seem to absolutely love this spot (they rate the location 9.6, which honestly makes perfect sense when you experience it yourself), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about being able to stroll to dinner and drinks without any planning.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment setup here is what sets this place apart from your typical hotel room. You get a proper living space with a kitchen that’s actually functional — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. I found myself making coffee in the morning and picking up fresh bread from the bakery downstairs, which felt surprisingly homey. The space is clean and well-maintained, though don’t expect high-end finishes — this is more about comfort and practicality than Instagram-worthy interiors.

Practical Perks

One thing that really saves you hassle is the on-site parking — and trust me, if you’ve ever tried to park in central Rotterdam, you’ll appreciate this more than any fancy amenity. The fact that you can actually drive here and not spend an hour circling blocks looking for a spot is genuinely valuable. The building is well-connected too — trams and buses are right there, so even if you don’t have a car, getting around the city is straightforward.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back here isn’t flashy service or a rooftop pool — it’s the simple fact that you feel like you’re living in Rotterdam rather than just visiting it. The 7.5 rating reflects exactly what this place is: solid, well-located, and honest about what it offers. You’re paying for that prime location and the freedom of having your own space, not for someone to fold your towels into swans. For the price point and the neighborhood, it delivers on what matters most — putting you right where you want to be in one of Europe’s most dynamic cities.

Best hotels in Rotterdam range from luxurious high-rise properties with harbor views to boutique hotels in historic Delfshaven district and modern accommodations near the iconic Erasmus Bridge.
