Rotterdam Hotels and HostelsFrom: Rotterdam Travel Guide
ABOVE: The H2otel is a midpriced floating hotel on the Wijnhaven, an historic harbor in the city center. Hotels, B&Bs, and vacation rentalsRotterdam has plenty of lodgings (especially modern hotels) in a variety of price ranges. Rates tend to be lower than in Amsterdam, making it easier justify a longer stay. Several hotels deserve special mention:
STROOM Rotterdam is a pricey, high-tech and high-style boutique hotel in a former electricity-generating station (hence its name, which means "Rotterdam Power"). Rooms are called "studios," and the two-level "vide" studios have bathtubs wih skylight views. It's a bit outside the center, but it's worth considering if you're planning a honeymoon or dirty weekend with sightseeing as a secondary consideration. The 28-room Hotel Van Walsum has topnotch guest reviews, all rooms have refrigerators, and breakfast is included in the rates. The Van Walsum is located on a tree-lined boulevard north of Coolhaven-- a bit outside the city center, but worth considering if you're a motorist who'll be using the hotel's enclosed parking lot. MyCityLofts offers an attractive, modern one-bedroom vacation apartment in central Rotterdam, and the Euromast has two high-altitude hotel suites, "Heaven" and "Stars," with the best views and the most dizzying balcony in the Netherlands.

CampingStadscamping Rotterdam isn't too far from the center, as campgrounds go. To navigate the Web site, click the icons on the left side.
