SS Rotterdam is nice experience. Reception staff wasn’t nice once we arrived early as we simply asked if early check in available and lady was so unhappy telling how busy they are and we must come after 3pm - I agree but tone and face expression could be different and all story would be different.
Breakfast is nice , staff in restaurants are super friendly and doing every single extra mile if they can. Check out process super simple.
Thank you for hosting us

Fabulous ship to stay on
The ship is amazing, so beautiful and a real history lesson in 1950s glamour.
I was on a work conference and the facilities were great as were the lunches and dinners.
Really interesting and great place to stay.

Our stay at the SS Rotterdam blew us away. This is definitely in our top 5 of the most original hotel stays we have done in our time as globetrotters. Wonderful, very spacious rooms...nothing like the ones we have seen on the cruises we have done. Fantastic beds too. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone traveling to Rotterdam.

The ship is very nice, and some of the staff are wonderful and really go above and beyond (particularly the reception staff), but unfortunately what happened at the end of my trip rather overshadowed all the positives.
I had paid around £85 to spend the night, and on top of that I had paid 14 euro to tour the ship when I arrived. To be honest it feels a bit like a tour should be included if you're a guest (especially as it is a self guided audio tour), but that's OK.
However, what I didn't realise is that unless you are on the tour right this minute, you're basically not allowed to enjoy any of the ship for the rest of your trip, which kind of defeats the purpose of staying (to enjoy the trip).
On my second day I was enjoying the ship as it is really beautiful. A few tour staff challenged me as I didn't have an audio guide but after I showed them that I did indeed have a ticket and a reservation they were OK.
I actually hadn't seen everything on the tour as the ship is huge and it's easy to get lost on a self guided tour, plus there was a wedding that day so parts of the ship were closed.
I completely get that they don't want people walking in off the street and just seeing the whole ship for free, but it seems like if you are a hotel guest AND you paid for the tour you should be free to wander and enjoy the views.
After a while a tour guide very aggressively accosted me and demanded to know what I was doing. I showed him my tour ticket and explained I was a hotel gue

SS Rotterdam stay
Quite an experience. Brings back 1960’s retro style in the cabins. Didn’t get much time to wxplote but wanted to do the tour. Really good fun coming back to the ship by water taxi, straight to its own entrance. Good fun, I would go again, I think.

Iconic and atmospheric but also very tired in places. My cabin carpet was in a very poor state and the decor pleasant but outdated. Portholes were filthy on the outside, difficult to fix but they still must be cleaned.
Staff were wonderful throughout, warm and friendly and willing.
The Lido restaurant was enjoyable overall but, sadly, the food was only average.
I'm glad I've stayed in such a special place but - sorry - I won't be back for more!

Good unique property, very comfortable. Huge carpark infront of ship. Ferry service adjacent to ship allows for access to the pedestrian tunnel to walk to Het Park and Euromast (ferry runs 0700-1000 & 1345-1800). Able to walk to central Rotterdam (Cube Houses, etc) in about 45 minutes, felt very safe.

Memorable Stay on Cozy Ship
The accommodation is featured within a ship cabin room with modern comforts. The room that I stayed was big, suitable for two guests. The hotel provides shuttle van to Rijnhaven metro station, only learnt that on third day though. Overall a pleasant and memorable stay!

The SS Rotterdam was a world class cruise liner when she sailed the oceans and is now a wonderful hotel with clean and spacious retro decor accommodations. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially the doormen and shuttle drivers. Taking a guided tour of the ship is a must, the historical perspective of the guides is fantastic!

Grand ship now a first class hotel
Very helpful staff friendly and chatty and language was not an issue thankfully as I don't speak Dutch
Restaurant food was excellent plenty of choices. Breakfast hot food, well could have a little bit warmer but that was the only thing I will criticise,
Beds were big and very comfy
Bathroom was huge with soft fluffy towels and plenty of toiletries
