Savoy Hotel Rotterdam

Savoy Hotel Rotterdam Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first walked into Savoy Hotel Rotterdam, I wasn’t expecting much from what looked like just another business hotel from the outside. But you know what? This four-star place actually surprised me in the best way possible. The lobby has this understated elegance that feels authentically Dutch rather than trying too hard to impress, and the staff genuinely seemed to care about making sure I had everything I needed without being overly formal about it.

What really won me over was how they’ve managed to blend modern comfort with some classic touches that don’t feel forced. The rooms are spacious by European standards – I mean, you can actually open your suitcase without having to climb over the bed – and the beds are seriously comfortable. I’m usually pretty picky about hotel pillows, but these were just right, not too soft or too firm. The bathrooms are well-designed too, with decent water pressure and those little details that show someone actually thought about what travelers need, like enough counter space for your toiletries.

The location turned out to be pretty smart once I got my bearings in Rotterdam. You’re close enough to the main action without dealing with all the tourist crowds, and there’s this great little café around the corner that locals actually go to – not one of those overpriced hotel breakfast places. I found myself walking everywhere because honestly, Rotterdam is way more walkable than people give it credit for. The hotel’s neighborhood has that lived-in feel where you see people heading to work in the morning rather than just other tourists dragging suitcases around.

Here’s the thing though – this isn’t the kind of place where you’ll find a rooftop pool or some fancy spa that you’ll probably never use anyway. What you get instead is solid, reliable comfort with staff who actually know the city and can point you toward the good stuff. When I had trouble with my room key card late one evening, the night manager didn’t just fix it – he also mentioned that the market near Markthal opens early if I wanted to grab some proper Dutch cheese before heading out the next day. That kind of local insight is worth more than all the generic concierge recommendations in the world, if you ask me.

Savoy Hotel Rotterdam Accommodations

Reviews of Savoy Hotel Rotterdam

• Josep from Spain (9/10)

  The room was amazing. The beds very comfortable and the bathroom really nice. The location is perfect, close to the Kubuswoning and the Markthal and the area is plenty of restaurants.
  The relation between price and quality is the best.

• Rebecka from Netherlands (9/10)

  Was decorated really nicely, was fun to have a record player. Location is great as the hotel is near Blaak station and main tourist spots, easy to get to and only a few minutes walk to the main shopping area as well.

• Johannes from Finland (9/10)

  Lovely and affordable hotel, a little off the beaten path. Staff must be among the friendliest I ever encountered (and I do get around), and there is a great Surinamese take out place a five minutes' walk away… Excellent find; am pretty certain to return sooner or later.

• Beryl from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Clean safe and quiet area and close to metro. Plenty of coffee shops and other facilities .
  Staff were international, so helpful.

• Delaram from Netherlands (9/10)

  Super friendly staff! The room was very comfortable and very clean!

• Ann from United States of America (9/10)

  Friendly staff, very helpful. We had to come a day early before our original reservation because we had to leave Florida due to Hurricane Helene. The airports were shutting down and we had to get out so we could make the departure of the Rotterdam leaving port on Sept 28. They were able to get us in a room and about noon. Since we were jet lagged that was very appreciated. We had a lovely stay at the Savoy meeting several of our shipmates in the lobby.

• Adela from Indonesia (8/10)

  The location is perfect, different nice places within reach.

• Pavol from Slovakia (9/10)

  The beds were good and the room very well cleaned and the bathroom nice with a good shower
