Rotterdam’s coolest apartment Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Rotterdam’s coolest apartment on Witte de Withstraat, you immediately get why they chose that name. This three-star place sits right in the thick of Rotterdam’s most vibrant street — honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has this understated cool factor that fits perfectly with the artsy neighborhood vibe, and you can tell from the moment you arrive that someone put real thought into making this feel different from your typical hotel stay.
The Heart of Rotterdam
I mean, you really can’t beat this spot for exploring the city. Witte de Withstraat is basically Rotterdam’s cultural spine — galleries, cafes, and some seriously good bars are literally at your doorstep. What I love about staying here is that you’re not in some touristy bubble; you’re actually living like a local for a few days. The Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is just a short walk away, and if you’re into architecture (which, let’s face it, you should be in Rotterdam), the city center’s famous modern buildings are all within easy reach. Plus, couples seem to absolutely love this area — there’s something romantic about wandering these streets in the evening.
The Apartment Experience
The apartment itself strikes this nice balance between stylish and actually livable. You get a proper kitchen setup, which honestly saves you a fortune when you’re traveling — grabbing fresh ingredients from the local market and cooking breakfast while planning your day feels so much more authentic than hotel buffets. The space has character without trying too hard, and the room layout makes sense in a way that shows someone actually thought about how people use the space. It’s not huge, but it’s smart, and everything you need is there.
Local Life and Neighborhood Perks
What really sets this place apart is how it connects you to actual Rotterdam life. There’s this fantastic restaurant scene right outside your door — I’m talking about places where locals actually eat, not just tourist traps. The street has this energy that changes throughout the day; mornings are quiet and perfect for coffee, afternoons buzz with gallery hoppers, and evenings… well, let’s just say Witte de Withstraat knows how to have a good time. You know what’s also great? Parking isn’t the nightmare it could be in a city center location — they’ve actually sorted that out, which anyone who’s driven in European cities will appreciate.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.2 rating isn’t just numbers — you can feel why people rate this place so highly when you’re actually staying here. It’s the kind of spot where you end up extending your stay if you can, not because the apartment itself is mind-blowing, but because the whole experience just works. You’re in the real Rotterdam, not some sanitized version of it, and that makes all the difference. The location score of 9.7 tells the whole story — when you can walk to everything worth seeing and still feel like you’re discovering hidden corners of the city, that’s when you know you’ve found something special.

Reviews of Rotterdam’s coolest apartment
Fabienne from Malaysia (10/10)
Very nice interior, modern but retro at the same time. It’s also quite spacious and bright.
All appliances you could need in the kitchen.
Loved all the little details like the snacks, coffee/tea, shampoo etc.
The location is smack in the centre of Rotterdam, perfect with many cafes and restaurants nearby.
Would definitely recommend this placeTeresa from United Kingdom (10/10)
The apartment was beautiful and the location was perfect. The hosts had thought of everything we might need. We asked to extend our check out time by a few hours and they were really accommodating. I would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again if I ever came back to Rotterdam.

Zeer ruim appartement, erg gezellig op een toffe en centrale locatie! De host was super: we kregen snacks als verwelkoming en ze was bij de uitleg/rondleiding erg vriendelijk. Had voordien al geïnformeerd naar de voorkeur voor bedden (1- of 2-Persoons). Het appartement had ook een leuke platenspeler en heel wat platen, boeken, comfortabele zetels, goed uitgeruste keuken, …
