The hotel has done a great job with the rooms in a fifties style, which are spacious and nicely decorated, although a bit dark and slightly oppressive at times. The service needs improvement in terms of training and manners, but the staff are fantastic. The location has its challenges but becomes good once you figure out the transportation options. The dining experience is described as simple but great for a slow start, and the facilities are satisfactory overall.

The hotel has a unique 1950s artwork and design with unnecessary furniture in the rooms, providing a view of Katendrecht. The service in the Captain's Bar was always friendly and welcoming, offering assistance like dry cleaning and housekeeping. The location is a bit out of the way but accessible to bus and metro stations. Dining was delicious although delivered late before check-out. The facilities are designed for two classes of passengers and offer a walkable distance to Rijnhaven Metro Station.

I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were amazing, spacious, and cozy, but they didn't quite block out the noise from the room next door. The location was nice, although a bit far from the town center. The dining options were delicious and plentiful; however, the hotel is a little out of the way. The service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to make us feel welcome.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were cold and couldn't be heated adequately, although they were well-equipped. The location in an interesting area of Rotterdam was a plus, but it's a bit far from the town center. The dining experience was enjoyable with a great variety but felt crowded at times.

I had a unique experience staying in a room that was 'climate controlled,' meaning there was no air conditioning, but it was cozy and had all the necessary comforts. The rooms were clean and tidy, offering a pleasant stay. The service was friendly and helpful, although some areas lacked clear direction. The location was beautiful with stunning views and a unique feel of being aboard a magnificent vessel. The dining was good but a bit pricey, offering traditional options. Overall, a great stay that offered a different and interesting experience.

The hotel had a spacious and comfortable room with thoughtful details, although fitted with disability aids we didn't request. The beginning was a bit chilly, impacting sleep quality.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with some minor issues like the lack of disinfection liquids and a leaking shower, but the breakfast buffet is well-maintained. The 'climate-controlled' rooms mean there is no air conditioning, and although fitted with disability aids we didn't require, it wasn't a major inconvenience.

Staying on the SS Rotterdam was a unique experience that made me feel like I was embarking on a cruise to New York. While the rooms were spacious and well-equipped, they were a bit cold and not as clean as expected. The service was incredibly helpful, although there were minor communication issues regarding beverage options. The location, while convenient for public transportation, was a bit far from the town center. Dining, despite offering a good buffet selection, was deemed a bit pricey. Overall, the experience was mixed with both positives and negatives.

Staying in the Club Room, one of the classic ship rooms, was very atmospheric. The rooms were spacious and overall a good experience, although a bit cold at the beginning. The cleanliness was good, but there was a leaking shower. The hotel staff, while kind, had some issues with service like leaving empty bottles in the room and being unaccommodating at times. The location offered good city views over Rotterdam, but was a bit far from attractions, resulting in additional transportation costs. The dining experience had both positive and negative aspects, ranging from great variety but with poor quality at times. The facilities were decent, but some improvements could be made. Overall, there were both highs and lows during my stay on the cruise ship.
