Carlton Beach
Lovely stay. Great view to the beach with easy access. Hotel is located toward the end of the beach which was quiet but yet near everything close by. Convenient with the parking garage right near the hotel.

Art Hotel Rotterdam
Great comfortable stay. Wonderful hotel with great lighting which is usually a problem with hotels. If pushed to give a criticism, the bathrooms could have had deeper shower trays and bigger basins, that’s all. Would definitely stay again!

Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam
Really enjoyable stay. The executive room was spacious, comfortable and had everything we would want other than a bath sheet as the towels that were provided were small and not fluffy. Great location and great bar with friendly and professional service.

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 !!!!
