Novotel Rotterdam Brainpark Review

7.6 /10

Set a 15-minute ride from the 26-hectare Rotterdam Zoo, the 4-star Novotel Rotterdam Brainpark features Wi-Fi throughout the property as well as private car parking on site. The business hotel is in Kralingen-Crooswijk, which is home to tranquil Trompenburg Arboretum, with ponds and colorful rhododendrons, just a pleasant stroll away from such natural sights as the modest botanical garden "Arboretum Trompenburg".

A picnic area and a golf course can be arranged at the environmentally friendly accommodation for an extra charge. The Novotel Rotterdam Brainpark also features mountain biking and archery along with cars for rent. At this Rotterdam property, guests are welcome to join fitness classes offered at a tennis centre on site. The Novotel Rotterdam Brainpark includes meeting rooms and a business centre equipped with computers and a work desk.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The cleanliness was top-notch, with comfortable and clean rooms offering great views over the river. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a safe gated parking available at a reasonable price. Transportation was convenient, as there was easy access to the CBD through tram or metro rides. The location was perfect for those visiting the nearby university, with many commercial shops and restaurants in the vicinity. The breakfast provided was delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
Nothing not too like.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and the cleanliness was impeccable. The staff at the reception were friendly, efficient and super helpful. The hotel facilities were top-notch, especially the great burgers from room service. The breakfast buffet was exceptional with a wide variety of options. I was also pleasantly surprised by the beautiful view of the skyline.
No complaints.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room on the 17th floor had stunning city views and a complimentary mini bar. The air conditioning was efficient and quiet, and the room was completely soundproof. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was a bit expensive, but the bar had a cheaper and excellent alternative. The hotel is well situated for Kralingen and is close to the metro station.
Nothing that I didn't like.
The hotel's location was perfect for me, as it was conveniently close to public transport, making it easy to travel to both Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Additionally, the hotel had ample parking available, which was a great advantage for guests arriving by car. The cleanliness of the rooms and hotel facilities was impeccable, and I appreciated the attention to detail in keeping everything spotless. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, making me feel welcome and ensuring that all my needs were met.
Everything is what I need and want.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The parking was convenient, and the location outside the city center provided easy access to the highway. The staff, especially the breakfast supervisor and her colleague supervisor, were friendly and went above and beyond to assist us. The breakfast was generous and tasty, setting the perfect start to our day. The hotel's proximity to other commercial shops was also a bonus, making it convenient for any additional needs during our stay.
Nothing, all excellent.
