Hotels near St. Joseph kerk in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel

Excellent location, close to family. Friendly Staff, great breakfast buffet. Mostly business men were in the hotel during our stay. The hotel had a bar and gym for exercise. Room service was good and front desk was excellent with the ability of the agents to communicate in different languages.

Never again. We came here for a quick drink and something to eat because we were stuck in traffic on our way to Utrecht. I have been going to van der Valk hotels for years. We have dined or stayed at several this week alone such as Dordrecht, Blijdorp and de Bilt. As such I am used to a specific level of service at van der Valk establishments. This one did not deliver. We waited a long time to be seated. Once the bartender saw that none of the young serving staff were going to seat us, he took it upon himself and served us our drinks and took our order. We would have liked some coffee afterwards, but the serving staff completely ignored us. We therefore decided to forego coffee and pay. A young lady came to clear our table and I asked her for the bill. She said she’d bring it right after she brought our plates to the kitchen. Unfortunately, one of the young male receptionists decided to take his break at a table at the far end of the restaurant right as she came out of the kitchen, and she decided that sitting at the table and flirting with him was more important. None of the other staff were anywhere to be seen. She finally decided to get back to work 20 minutes later. I got up and walked to the bar where all the serving staff were now standing and asked for the bill, again. I then got a snarky answer from one of the male servers that his colleague was currently printing it. I replied that she had been “printing it” at the table at the far end of the restaurant for the last 20 minutes and that I was done waiting for it. It took another 5 minutes and the same young male server ended up bringing us the bill. She did not have the courage nor the decency to own up to her mistake and apologize in person. Instead, she sent out a colleague to possibly take the heat from dissatisfied customers for her rudeness. When we left, all of the serving staff had made themselves scarce. I am sure other customers would have just left without paying instead of waiting a total of 25 minutes for the bill. As said in the beginning, I will not be visiting this particular van der Valk again. There are others close by with much better service that this young staff should take as an example!

The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to many sights and shops as well as the metro and tram if you want to travel further away. The rooms facing the canal have a nice view but it's a shame the windows are small. There is a good car park next door to the hotel but hotel guests get no discount for parking there (24 Euros per night). Rooms are on the small side but fine for a couple of nights. They include a safe, which is nice to have. The hotel is not cheap, though. Around 200 Euros per night (without breakfast or parking) for a basic hotel chain like Ibis is quite steep. For that money, the hotel should at least make sure the curtains are not full of holes! They don't seem to have family rooms either, so families have to pay for two rooms per night.

The hotel was easy to get to, although note that there is a lot of road construction works going on in the area and road closures made me have to circle the area a few times to try to find an entrance to the car park The check in process was quick & efficient and my room was on the first floor. You have to use your key card in the elevator as well as the door to the corridor, there seems to be a technique to it as I had to put the card into the reader & out again a few times before it worked The hotel had good Wi-Fi that worked well throughout, although if I remember right, I think it restricted me to only 2 devices The room had 2 single beds with a beside table in between. I took the bed beside the window as there was more room at that side, the other bed only had a narrow ***** at the door. The room had a lots of storage, coffee facilities, lounge chair and foot rest as well as a table area & chair but the table was quite narrow & it definitely didn’t work for working on a laptop. It was quite warm when I was there but there is AC/heating & the window fully opens, but you are close to a main motorway so there is traffic noise. I did sleep really well though as the bed was comfy The bathroom had a good size basin with good space beside for all your toiletries. The shower was more like a wet room beside the sink with a dividing wall. It worked OK & the shower pressure & temperature was good The hairdryer was small & attached to the wall of the bathroom by the cord. The cord wasn’t long and I had to stand close to the wall to move it around my head, plus could only stand sideways to the mirror. It worked fine, but the annoying thing is you have to hold the button in for it to work which started to get sore and I have shoulder length hair The hotel has a gym on the first floor, you have to walk along the side of the restaurant to reach it. It consisted of 4 machines, cross trainer, stationary bike, treadmill & rowing machine, which all were pretty good, but there isn’t any more room in the room to do any other exercises. There were no towels when I arrived but someone got some for me, there was limited sanitation to wipe down equipment and there was no water provision I didn’t have breakfast in the restaurant but I did have dinner there. The dinner menu has a good selection and you get bread to nibble on while you wait. I had a main salad one night, which was nice, but be careful, it was huge with 2 chicken breasts. I also had the the salmon with veg & potatoes, again nice, the potatoes had a creamy sauce on them which I couldn’t identify but was tasty. The hotel has a small bar as well Overall this was a comfortable hotel with good facilities

From the time we walked through the front door to when we left two days later all was perfect. The staff very happy and helpful. The room was very nice and well appointed . We chose this hotel because it is connected to-the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal. It is close too many eateries. Ifwe return in the future we will rebook. This is a five star hotel. Thanks all.

I couldn't sleep all night through the noise of the cars in the highway. Every day cleaners come to your room but the dirty towels are not replaced! Very bad kiss you don't feel good at all during sleep! The expectation is behind the desk and there you can only feel warm, No coffee machine in the room and the water cooker was very dirty! Nice restaurant but for someone who is vegetarian is not made a lot of choice! Some staff were lovely but also someone is at the reception that gives you unwelcome feelings!

Very clean and spacious hotel with sufficient parking facilities. Clean rooms, not super luxury; but all facilities are available to make a cup of coffee or tea in the room and with fine beds (1102). Friendly and helpful, Dutch speaking, staff. You can order up to 23.45 another drink in the lounge, if you want. Breakfast buffet is fairly extended with various breads (hard/soft/heart/sweet), English breakfast, various types of yogurt, fruit and insecticide, and American pancakes and a wide variety of hot and cold drinks. There's enough, friendly staff around, making you feel very welcome. What was unfortunately very annoying, especially for our children, was that a lady in the hotel stayed who called to us ugly and insultful things when we went back to our hotel room after breakfast. It came to us as if she was in a great deal influenced by something; she walked/danced intimidating in the foyer around in her bathroom and with a towel around her hair as if she had been on the whole night since the night before her. She laughed out of our son when he almost came between the lift door, which was really annoying for him, for a hotel like this, that was a cleaner after such a great breakfast and stay. Whatever sadly, the surrounding sounds were, around the hotel, you are working to wake up early (even at the 11th floor) by trucks that drive out and out.

After stay at the Copenhagen CityHub I thought why not give this Rotterdam one a go as my experience before was great. Well firstly my god it was noisy, I had requested a quiet pod in the hotel as I'm a very light sleeper (even with earplugs in and pillow overhead lol) . So I was placed near the toilets/showers.... Ding ding ding alarms should have been going off then as the amount of banging those toilets/showers doors and the thumping of the people who sounded like they was thumping past all the pods (request a top pod in future). With ear plugs I was woken up early by other pod users who didn't have a care about anybody else who would have even been asleep as long as the could have a chat in the hall ways as loud as possible. So if you are going out and getting drunk this hotel is perfect for you but if you are on a sightseeing trip and wanting a early night we'll best of luck with that. None of my USB chargers were working in my pod but luckily I had brought a plug with more than 1 socket on it for charging. You get what you pay here and for a single person it's the cheapest option in the city. Lockers are huge and fitted my large suitcase in very easily. Staff very helpful as usual especially the American guy. Would I stay again, I'm afraid I wouldn't at this one as far too noisy for me. Maybe big groups shouldn't be all put on same floor and then they can meet in area downstairs and chat as loud as possible as they want at any time that suits them.

I stayed for just a couple days but I immediately felt involved in the social atmosphere of the Hub! The room was cozy and welcoming, very clean and quiet. The common spaces are great, the food and drinks are nice and always served with a smile. I would really have liked to be able to stay more and fully enjoy the social events and spaces!

The lady at the reception, a black woman, her appearance was businesslike and dry. Very different from what I'm used to. Although I indicate that I would like a quiet room because of my girlfriend, she appreciates peace and privacy, the receptionist has given me a room near the elevator, room 409. What is the point of online reservation in advance?
