Top hotels in Heijplaat
The Usual Rotterdam
Not a style of hotel I stayed in before but enjoyed the 3 nights we were there. Food choices in restaurant could be wider. Quirky public areas. Decent beds and room facilities.

Riva Hotel The Hague
The room was nice and clean, and affordable. Hotel is somewhat off the beaten path but right next to the bus station. A 24hr casino selling booze all night=BONUS !!!!
