Hostel De Mafkees welcomes you. If you’re looking for budget accommodation within walking distance from Rotterdam city centre and train station: look no further. You just stumbled across the biggest and cheapest hostel in town.
Being the biggest doesn’t just mean we offer lots of beds – which we do. On top of that however, we offer a spacious building with lots of features to keep yourself busy on those rainy days. Chill out in our comfy couches, grab a beer at our bar, shoot some pool, do some work-out on the hometrainer, visit the art stores: it’s all there.
Not much for staying in? Go explore Rotterdam! We are part of Use-it and made it our business to know as much about what’s going on in Rotterdam as possible. Fortunately for you, we make handy pocket sized booklets, do-it-yourself tours and maps which we can give you…for free!
Although Hostel De Mafkees is brand new – open since July 2013 -, it’s history dates back further. For the last 11 years De Mafkees has been a summertime-only hostel in an old ice-skating rink just behind Rotterdam Central Station. Unfortunately, due to city planning we had to leave this location. We kept the good memories, moved on, swapped the ice-skating rink for a former school building and right now De Mafkees is back on track, all-year round this time. And no worries: school’s out!
