Hotel Emma Overview
You know what struck me first about Hotel Emma? It’s one of those places that doesn’t try too hard to impress you – and honestly, that’s exactly why it works. This three-star spot has this unpretentious charm that I find way more appealing than some of the flashier hotels I’ve stayed at. The lobby’s got this lived-in feel with comfortable seating that actually looks like people use it, not just pose in it for Instagram shots.
The rooms are what I’d call “thoughtfully simple” – clean lines, decent beds that don’t leave you waking up with a sore back, and those little touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience. I mean, they’ve got proper blackout curtains (thank god), and the bathroom has enough counter space that you’re not playing Tetris with your toiletries. The WiFi actually works throughout the building too, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places mess this up.
What really won me over was the staff – they’re genuinely helpful without that overly rehearsed hospitality thing that makes you feel like you’re talking to a robot. When I asked about local restaurants, the front desk guy gave me actual recommendations, not just the touristy spots they probably get kickbacks from. The housekeeping team keeps everything spotless without being intrusive, and I appreciated that they didn’t rearrange all my stuff when they cleaned.
Look, Hotel Emma isn’t going to blow your mind with luxury amenities or make you feel like royalty – but sometimes that’s exactly what you need. It’s the kind of place where you can actually relax without worrying about whether you’re dressed appropriately for the elevator or if you’re using the right fork at breakfast. For a solid, no-nonsense stay that won’t break the bank, this place delivers exactly what it promises and then some.
Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Rotterdam through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best districts for experiencing the city’s maritime atmosphere and architectural diversity.

comfortable bedroom, close by the WTC where I had a conference day to attend. very nice and helpful personel. they even allowed me to leave my car in the parking until the end of the next day – after the workshop. thank you.
breakfast in the Baker and More was very nice and tasty, although I would have liked a second cup of coffee.George from United Kingdom (8/10)

I like everything
Stacy from Singapore (8/10)
Loved how the hotel was an easy walk to Centraal Station, tourist attractions (e.g. Markthal, Cube Houses, Natural History Musuem) and had free-flow coffee & tea in the lobby! Staff were always courteous and were able to help us store our luggage after checkout (for about 2 hours)
Kalina from Belgium (8/10)
Easy walk from Rotterdam CS, good location, kind staff, clean room/bathroom and decent bed.
Ron from United Kingdom (9/10)
Location is central and convenient for station, shopping, restaurants and trams. From outside the hotel you can take trams to all over Rotterdam and further. The city trams continue to the beach at Hook of Holland, to The Hague, and other places.
The friendly staff helped us park our bikes at the rear of the building, and the in-house handy-person instantly arrived to unblock our shower!Olga from Netherlands (7/10)
The hotel, staff and room were great. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
