Each of the simply furnished dormitory rooms at Stayokay Hostel Rotterdam has bunk beds, a shared shower room and a shared toilet. Guests can enjoy a buffet breakfast every morning. Packed lunch service is available for a surcharge.

A unique opportunity to stay in one of the symbols and landmarks of the city. For a very long time I wanted to visit the cubic houses and finally I had the opportunity to stay in them.

    Beautiful looking hostel in a great location, not far from central station. Really nice vibe with guests and staff using the shared space together and often cooking together (or at least at the same time). It made the place feel very inviting. Breakfast and beers are also very cheaply available for Rotterdam prices.

    Great location, good continental breakfast, and very family friendly. The room was clean and had 2 bunk beds with its own shower and toilet. Lovely atmosphere in the reception/bar area with plenty of seating to chill out. First time staying in a hostel and it was a great experience for the family.

    Great location in the city center, 10 minutes walk from main train & bus station, yet in the calm, quiet and safe back street. Room for solo traveler (one bed) is small but cosy and more than adequate, clean all around, with great bed and linen, tv, private bathroom with shower. Staff is very friendly and helpful (both receptionists I encountered). All of this you get for a really budget price, not much more than hostel bunk bed. Great experience overall.

    An amazing place where you can feel more at home than in a hostel. Everything is good. Friendly and professional staff, always willing to help and make you feel welcome. Clean, safe, cool, modern, with a lift, beds with privacy, a fabulous kitchen with cleaning rules which shows that they really care want to make your stay a pleasant one, good coffee, great location, so easy to find coming from the central station, even if you are tired and it’s late. Can’t ask for more really. A place to return to. Cheers guys! All the best!
