The SS Rotterdam is a unique hotel experience aboard a former Holland America Line cruise ship, permanently docked in Rotterdam. It offers retro-styled rooms, dining options, and ship tours, providing a nostalgic glimpse into maritime history.
The SS Rotterdam offers a one-of-a-kind stay for those seeking a nostalgic and unique hotel experience. Despite some reported issues with check-in and noise, the ship's charm, friendly staff, and convenient water taxi access make it a worthwhile destination. Consider booking tours in advance.
Access to some parts of the ship requires paid tours. Water taxis provide quick access to the city center, but alternative transport is needed after midnight. The ship is located a distance from the city center and some parts may be far apart.
Really felt like a unique one of a kind hotel.
The deluxe cabin booked has all the interior maintained from the time it sailed.
There’s even a small paddling pool for kids – our 2-year-old loved splashing around in it.
We were disappointed, however, that we were not able to explore the ship without paying for a tour.
The location is excellent with water taxi service right onto the ship.
