Like most of the Stayokay chain of hostels, the Stayokay Rotterdam is everything you would hope for in a modern hostel -- clean, good facilities, and well-run -- with a few surprises.
This is less of a destination hostel than some, meaning you'll probably be going out in the city to find entertainment. But the hostel will provide you with a safe, warm bed to come home to. A basic but ample breakfast is provided, with fresh flowers on the dining tables adding a cheery touch.
Stayokay Rotterdam is popular with school groups, and the common areas such as the main floor lounge and the dining room do feel rather like hanging out in a high school cafeteria. They are kept very clean but very neutral. Likewise the dorm rooms are basic but well-designed. There is ample space between beds, several cupboards for your stuff (but no lockers, those are in the basement), and a table and chairs. The en-suite bathroom is handy and there are additional bathrooms down the hall. All are as clean as you would expect from a basic hotel.
Perhaps the best thing about this hostel is its location. It is just down the street from the major museums, including the Netherlands Architecture Institute and the Boijmans van Beuningen art gallery. One block away is the De Heuvel park, a great place for a morning jog or a starting point for walking along the waterfront to see the Erasmusbrug and the Euromast.
