Puttershoek Vacations from $1,800

The basic room was sufficient.

Somewhat remote. Not really walkable to dining or downtown. No early check is difficult if after an early morning cruise ship disembarkation. Charming to be on the old ship though.

Didn’t live that I didn’t have any help to get up 3 very steep flights of stairs.

You get what you pay for right in this case. The hotel is shabby but the room and the bathroom were very clean. The staff were all very friendly. The location is very good as only a short walk from Rotterdam Centraal, close to the central part and the tram stop is just outside.

I stayed at the Bilderberg 2 years ago and thought it was excellent. So much so that I returned to the Bilderberg this year. The facility has been renovated and the results are beautiful. The lobby is open and multiple check in kiosks/computers are available. The rooms seemed larger to me and the decor was wonderful. Breakfast at the Bilderberg was more than adequate and I hate the thought of returning to my old breakfast practices in America.(Maybe I can do it on weekends.) The staff is very helpful and answered travel directions with a flip of their cell phones, whether it was the Metro, the tram,, bus, taxis, etc. Everybody was able to answer questions in English or Dutch and I imagine in other languages, too. We stayed at City Inn at Radison Amsterdam West but preferred the Bilderberg in Rotterdam.
