Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The James Rotterdam from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The James Rotterdam impresses guests with its central location, just a short walk from Rotterdam Central station, shops, and restaurants, making it easy to reach attractions like the Markthal. Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, with good showers; some guests on higher floors enjoy incredible views. The self-service market and lounge on the 2nd floor are convenient for snacks and relaxation, though a few have noted the absence of a minibar and the need to pay a deposit. it's a stylish and modern hotel offering a great base for exploring Rotterdam.

The location is perfect. Shops are very close
The room felt small. And the TV continually froze, even after staff tried to fix it. They did not succeed. I'm not sure why they even bothered

Lovely Hotel with Great Amenities!

friendly stafffree upgradegreat gym
The staff were very friendly and helpful . I received a free upgrade from a comfort double to a junior suite upon arrival which was an unexpected, welcome surprise! The self-service bar offered great convenience, and I found the gym useful for my workouts.
I noticed several small issues, a shower drain wasn't working properly, a TV was slightly tilted, and some power cords seemed loose.
Rooms

The room was super clean and quite spacious for two people with a comfortable lounge area. A microwave in the lounge was available for heating meals. There was also plenty of surface space to place personal items.
Location
10/10
The hotel has an excellent central location, near shops, restaurants, and public transport, and there is easy walking distance from Central Station and Metro stations. It doesn't matter which direction you walk, you find shops and cafes.
Dining

A 24-hour self-service bistro offers snacks and drinks, very convenient. Breakfast is also available, and you only pay for what you eat, at fair prices!!! There is a 24-hour supermarket inside the hotel with many essential items.
Service
10/10
The staff at the front desk were polite and helpful, looking up bus times and suggesting good local restaurants. They even issued a new room key quickly when I lost mine. This hotel provides true 5-star service.

The room included a hot water maker. The coffee maker was also appreciated. But the decor and the view were attractive.
I feel they should have informed us before we paid. The noise spoiled my stay

The location is fantastic. It's only a short walk from the central train station. Several restaurants are nearby, which i found convenient. I picked up breakfast items from a supermarket at the station because the room includes a coffee machine, kettle, and refrigerator. The bed was very comfortable.
The tv didn't work well. There weren't enough power sockets available in the room. The lighting was also not ideal for reading.
