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.

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.

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.

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.

WHEN IN THE NETHERLANDS, WHY NOT STAY ON A BOAT!

Given the choice, I’m glad I did. Also, love the punny name! I had a really good four night stay here. My room, on the lower level, was quiet and comfortable. My porthole was aimed at the canal wall but, when the tide was high, I had a view of the street. Being a cabin, while spacious, there were a few things to navigate, like the two posts near the window, one of which I ended up head-butting as bent down to pick up something! Ah, the life of a sailor ;) The room had a work table, TV, free WiFi, kettle with tea & coffee, air-conditioning, block out curtains and wardrobe. It lacked a luggage rack and fridge. The washroom had a surprisingly large shower with a great water pressure, a wall-attached hairdryer, quality toiletries and lush towels. The location was excellent with all parts of the city within easy walking distance. It’s only three blocks from the Markthall and the food and groceries therein. Breakfast is available onsite, however, I chose to eat out. I was taking a night ferry to the UK and they happily stored my bags for the day. This was fun way to visit Rotterdam for the first time and I would stay again.

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.

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.

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.

This is a floating hotel! Very unique and unusual. Not a waterfront tower with a view of the water, but a small hotel IN the water. Made up of "lash barges", originally used by the American Army to send tanks and guns to Rotterdam. Make sure to read the history displayed in lobby. The location is superb- on a canal in Rotterdam, walking distance to many attractions and to transportation to others. We had a short walk to hotel from water taxi stop (we took this from cruise ship dock). Rooms are small, with portholes for windows, unless you are on upper level, very clean, with modern fittings, (a small fridge would be nice) and staff are very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, served on tiered tea trays, a very nice touch. The area surrounding the hotel was quiet and felt safe. I would not hesitate to return on my own or recommend to friends.
