Well situated and helpful staff.

10/10 Exceptional

Wow what an amazing hotel ! We loved our stay here - everything floated along nicely! Staff were friendly, welcoming and genuinely seemed to enjoy their time at work. Our room was super comfy, with the world’s biggest shower ! Lots of room to stow away our motorbike gear, and not feel cramped. Breakfast was lovely, with strong coffee and a chance to relax on the decking over the river. (Waving to a passing hottug!) Loved it and will definitely return.

Quirky hotel-floating on the river, great accessible location, with restaurants and a supermarket very close by. Room was basic but clean and comfortable. Staff on check-in were very friendly. Didn't have breakfast here but looked like there was plenty of choice.

It was all clean and staff were friendly. Fun and qwerky place to stay. I wanted to give a particular mention to the barman who was there on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th Jan - embarrassingly we forgot him. But as seasoned travellers, we were very impressed by his attitude to go above and beyond. Wine recommendations, local tourism ideas. Really 5* - was the cherry on top of a great weekend. name.

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed in a higher level room with a view of the canal. Happy with the room and the hotel is very near to the centre of Rotterdam and public transport (trams, trains, buses). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is relatively simple and the same every day, but there's something for everyone. The restaurant is very nice and does evening meals, though we only ate breakfast there. I would happily stay at the H2Otel again.

6/10 Good

We booked Floats for my 30th birthday trip to Rotterdam as it looked like an interesting place to stay. When we arrived, the room we were booked into was having some maintenance work done so we were given another terraced room directly overlooking the reception, so we decided we would wait for the original room to be ready. This took around an hour in total, and we were offered a free drink, however all guests are offered a free welcome drink so this did not feel like extra compensation. The receptionist was friendly enough, she acknowledged it was my birthday when checking my passport but no extra effort was made, even while we wait for an hour for our room to be ready. On the morning we checked out the receptionist knocked on the door to hurry us along, which we thought was quite rude. The room was nice, the terraces overlook each other so be aware of this when booking. It lacked some basics like hair conditioner. Our room was also close to the street so there was some noise throughout the night. Location was really good for us to walk everywhere, and about 5/10 minutes from the tram. Overall it was an okay stay, but we wouldn't choose to stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Was a unique stay, it was clean and convenient. I just think it needs some modernisation, such as usb sockets and a longer mirror. The terrace also needed a refurb.

Nice location, novelty theme but not comfortable

Good location, nice restaurant. Terrible bed, i had to sleeep on the floor. Reception had no solution or suggestions - just dismissed me saying some people like it and they'd contact me if any other room came up. They never did. Puddle in bathroom when it rained, and mould around the caulking in bathroom.

8/10 Very good

We loved our stay st this hotel and its close location to the Markthem food hall. The beds were overall comfy. We wished for a small refrigerator but otherwise the amenities were fine. The bathroom had what looked like urine in places and smelled strongly of urine and had hairs so it wasn't cleaned. The cleaning crew made alot of noise each morning which made sleeping in difficult. Otherwise, we appreciated the free drink since we opted to not have daily cleanings and other than having a brick wall as our view, we enjoyed the uniqueness of this floating hotel.

4/10 Fair

Lousy, noisy stay in tiny rooms

Location and service was good, nice breakfast. Rooms were all a bit different from each other, one lacking a table, some really small, hangers were missing, a structure pole in middle of the already tiny room... Shower water was running only either boiling hot or ice cold, sink pipes were leaking and ventilation in the bathroom was not very good having still wet floor the next morning. They had unfortunately ongoing maintenance work all the time, stuff in the hallways and noise starting in the morning, weird smell every now and then. Rooms are definitely not soundproof and some students arriving late in the night were making the place noisy and unpeaceful.
