I found it unusual that a hostel didn't have a kitchen and none of the rooms had a kettle or any way to make a coffee without paying €3.60 for a coffee from their bar. As a disabled guest I found access tricky. I'm not a wheelchair user but I have severe asthma and the steps up to the property were steep and lots of them.

Loved the room we stayed in, it was the Marines room. My children were in love with it. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The place was clean we had an ensuite room and the shower was warm and powerful. The beds were really comfy and they even gave you a nice shower gel on each bed. It felt very safe which was great considering I was traveling with young children.

Poor wifi in the rooms. You have to go to the public areas.

Location was excellent. The architecture and the ambiance of the hostel is so cool. Family & youth friendly. Love the bar and public lounging areas. The rooms were basic but that was already a given information when booked it. Staff weee so friendly everywhere.

A bit noisy next to the street. Small room for 4, so (small) luggage fills it quickly. Matress quite thin. Price seems a bit high for a very basic room.

Original experience to stay in the Kijk Kubus. Nice staff. Room and shower clean.

Various noises from the street could be heard; Meanwhile windows must be opened during my stay in late July.

Central location and proximity to major attractions. The building itself is iconic and impressive. Cheerful staff. Bike rental service that has to be booked online first. Affordable rate.

It was hot when we stayed and the room was unbearable. There was a small evaporator fan which didn’t really help unfortunately. We didn’t complain as the weather was unusually warm.

Location was very central and easy to access. Loved the bar area and pool table where we enjoyed the evening with family. Comfy mattress and clean bedding

Our room was located right above the smoking point outside so we could not open our window for fresh air

excellent breakfast and very good coffee!

Very uncomfortable shower. Water flows directly to the floor. And the sink where you can wash and brush your teeth is metal and is located in the hallway of the room. Which means that it can wake up everyone in the room. And WiFi does not work on the third floor. But for this price, it is not a big inconvenience. I think that if this hostel would make the rooms more comfortable, I would gladly pay more money to stay there. Because the location in the center of the city, the proximity to the metro, the extraordinary view of the building, the views of the city from this hostel... Everything is very nice!

It is right in the city center. Very close to the metro and the Mall, where you can eat, and the building itself is a historical monument of architecture. The breakfast is very good, and lasts quite a long time. Comfortable bed, friendly staff. Very clean and pleasant to be in this hostel.

A bit narrow, the interesting external architecture becomes dysfunctional from the inside. Minimal services for the basic price.

Great location, cheaper compared to other similar options, architecture is interesting to say the least! Information provided on the website was accurate (except that we couldn't see the exact room we booked)

There was a huge group of teenagers with their chaperones staying while I was there so it was very loud in the common areas. I was able to take a wine out to a small deck to get some peace. However my room was quiet for sleeping.

This place is an architectural marvel and people were wandering around taking photos all the time. Many did not realise they could stay here although the Stayokay is a hostel so may not appeal to many of them. I requested and was granted a low bed as I would not be able to get into an upper bunk. I shared the 2 bunk bed female room with just one other gal and we had our own bathroom in the room. We did have drapes on the windows. Bed was very comfy with a light. There was a cubby to store my backpack. I think there are lockers available if needed. Downstairs was a bar and a big breakfast room plus some loungy areas inside and out. Breakfast was basic but adequate, Luggage storage is available. There is an elevator. It was everything I needed for my one night stay and a good price. I walked most places in the city and used the tram. The train station Blaak is right next to the Cube Houses as is the beautiful big Market Hall.

Lack of electricity sockets in the room. Timer on shower.

Fun family room with camouflage theme. Comfy beds. Excellent breakfast. Great location to explore Rotterdam.

Though the building is cool, the interior space is a bit awkward. But of course it’s not the hostels fault. If there could be usb charging, it would be better.

Great location. Charming building and the landscape on its balcony. GREAT breakfast. Enjoy waking up seeing blue sky from the windows.

Location is convenient.

Soap available insides the room but no towels. It would be great if those would be provided as well. There is a rent service for towels though.

Receptionist personnel very kind and helpful. Good breakfast and excellent location, downtown Rotterdam and very close to train, tram and metro station. Easy to move around the city within a walking distance.

We only got one key for the room (despite being 4 people) so it made it kind of difficult to move around. The beds weren't the best and having two make your own bed and then having to pull the sheets off was slightly annoying, but it wasn't that bad.

It had a great location, everything was nearby and it was very easy to move from and to the apartment. Not to mention that there are many points of access to get to the front door, so you don't have to waste time walking around. There was also a lot of space for storage which is always appreciated. The breakfast was also quite nice, it was simple but filling.

The size of the room's loockers: they are appropriate mostly for backpacks or small bags.

Everything good , a sense of cleannes and order. Surrounded by polite and welcoming peers. Last but not least, an exceptional breakfast!
