Hotel
Van der Valk Hotel Rotterdam Blijdorp lies within walking distance of Diergaarde Blijdorp Zoo, one of the Netherlands' most popular zoos. Visitors of all ages can admire its many animal residents. Rotterdam city centre is just 3 kilometres from the hotel, boasting architectural feats as well as beautiful museums, such as Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. Or go shopping in what the locals affectionately dub the 'Koopgoot' (literally: shopping gutter). The centre is easy to reach from the hotel and you can quickly reach other parts of the city thanks to Rotterdam's excellent public transport links.
The comfortable and modernly furnished hotel rooms come with a flatscreen television, free WiFi, air conditioning, a safe, a refrigerator, tea and coffee facilities, and a bathroom with a shower, a hairdryer and a toilet.
Guests can make use of the sauna, the swimming pool and the gym in the adjacent David Lloyd Fitness Centre; an additional charge applies.
Surroundings
Rotterdam is a dynamic place that is perfect for a city trip. Home to Europe's largest port, it's well worth hopping on a boat to admire the city from the water. Check out extraordinary architecture, such as the Cube Houses and the Erasmus Bridge. Several interesting museums can be found around the Museumpark, including the Kunsthal, Boijmans Van Beuningen and the Netherlands Architecture Institute. What's more, the hotel is a short walk from Diergaarde Blijdorp Zoo and the Oceanium sea aquarium.

Good place for guests with dogs because dogs are allowed in the restaurant. Nearby park to walk the dog.
The bathroom was not as clean as expected bathroom also needs to be renovated. Perforated curtains and dirty windows.

bed is cheap and very uncomfortable
Young couples maart 2013
Nice personnel, helpfull
Very bad comfort for a 4 stars. Very disapointed of the general state of the detail. Important fault of taste in decoration (easter in this case) Bed was done very badly and looked repulsive Very dissatisfied
“My tip: Nothing to do in the area, just parkings outside the hotels. Having a car is mandatory”

Excellent service provided by highly professional and helpful staff. Provision of smoking rooms, bar and restaurant. The hotel is very well presented. UK and european power outlets in the room, and free internet in the room. Good choice of european language TV channels (English, French, Italian, German, Dutch)
No clothes iron in the room - clothes creased in the suitcase stay that way (there may well be provision elsewhere in the hotel, I should have asked at the front desk I guess)
“My tip: bring a travel iron just in case”

It's good if you're looking for Isolation.
Out of the way from Rotterdam Central, Ahoy, Business centre. No eateries, shops around the place. One has to rely on public transport or taxi to get to an eating place. Who would want to eat at the hotel all days. The transportation cost is more than the Eating out cost. No wireless internet facility.
“My tip: Please do not depend on the hotel for a pick-up or drop to airport or rail station as their transport facility is perenially unavailable.”

Nice looking hotel, clean and newish. Check-out time of noon. Free parking. Close to the zoo.
Contrary to other van der Valk hotels, the pool is not at the hotel and is not included in the price. For the "special" price of 10 euros per person you can walk next door to the community health club and share the kiddie pool with 50 kids doing swimming lessons. "King size" bed in our superior room was actually two singles pushed together. Breakfast is overpriced at 16,50 per person. Wireless internet costs 12,50 per day.

Great Location. Easy access to both the zoo and the city center
What they call a king size bed is just two singles push together.

Clean, tidy and modern with Friendly and helpful staff
Bed in room was old and tired, it sagged in the middle.
Young couples juli 2011
we had a great deal on our overnight stay which included breakfast & free mini bar.. all for only 92 euro inc tax! the standards overall were very high, atmostphere relaxed.
after quietly checking the evening menu we chose to eat somewhere else, but as we left a comment was made by the chap behind the bar who had also initially greeted us. even if it was a joke, he told us unsmiling that sorry but they don't serve fish & chips. we found this comment was inappropriate. offensive & racist

Service from the staff was good
First room, electrics didn't work, second room air con didn't work and it was too hot. Because I had to open the windows, there was the noise from the zoo next door.

Travelling alone mei 2011
personel was very friendly and tried to resolve the issues there were - obviously not their fault
Overall, stay was good, just major points of carelessness which should not happen in a 4 star hotel of this price: 1) room was taken when I came (but still got the key so found out myself) - they had no replacement room except for a disabled room 2) no toilet paper in the room 3) room service forgot to clean dirty coffee cups 4) reception not reachable for more than 15 minutes in the morning as the only staff was somewhere else (no cordless phone) 5) not possible to charge fitness on the bill and no flexibility / effort to solve this problem 6) taxi ordering took very long (reception said it was 5 min- it took more than 10 - not handy when one has to catch a train)

Almost Everything was excellent
They should either have a Geldautomat or allow guests to get cash on their cards. The hotel is not within walkiing distance of any cash machines.
