Description: We had planned a weekend in Rotterdam. And we wanted go on a luxury tour. On the Internet at booking.com we looked for a hotel in the center of Rotterdam. Eventually we chose the Westin hotel with a very attractive price of 99 euro’s without breakfast in a superior room. We made reservations over the Internet. That's great. You will immediately receive a confirmation and a reservation confirmation via email. Westin hotels are all over the world. In Rotterdam it a 4 star hotel with 240 rooms in a high tower. Address: Weena 686 Rotterdam.
Arrival
We arrived by car and then you have just one downside of the hotel. Because they have no private parking. But the Internet is neatly indicated that three parking garages are nearby. For the theater, the hotel had parking exit cards. (22 euro’s for one day ). Then it's just walking with your bags (250 meters).
At a central location opposite the Central Station in Rotterdam is the pontifical Westin Hotel. The tower of the hotel is from various places in the city is easily recognizable. On the outside are large gray containers with bolacacia's. These mark the entrance of the hotel. You enter through a revolving door. But there is also a separate entrance for the disabled. The control knob of this is low enough to do this from a wheelchair.
The reception
You arrive at this huge circular space with a kind of atrium design. Lots of light. Tip: Look up at the ceiling. A beautiful copper carved ceiling. You walk slightly to the left and then you get into another room. A kind of lounge with beautiful shaped armchairs. Behind you see the reception desk. A large glass bowl with apples is ceremoniously on the counter. The first signal that environmental and health are high priority. The entire hotel is non smoking. Everywhere are the signs that smoking is prohibited. We were told that a fine of 175 euro’s was given.
Check-in
When we arrived there were two people behind the reception. Immediately we were helped by a very friendly lady. Only the name change was enough. The booking was indeed received by them. I think that is always an exciting moment, because imagine, they have no room for you!
Just fill in the details and your credit card to scan and then we had the electronic card of the room.
If we had questions, we could always turn to them.
The room
In a large hall with a beautiful purple carpet are the bedrooms. With the electronic key you open the door. In a hall to the right is a huge bathroom, left a space for the trunk, a closet with ironing board and iron. That's really enjoyable. You can see what's in the closet), a small kitchen with coffee / tea making facilities, refrigerator with glass and left a stocked mini bar. Then, continuously, you enter a spacious room with high ceilings. A large, high bed. A workspace with a desk and a pretty nice design office. In the office are the cables attached to the Internet. There is even a separate computer table at your desk. Clearly designed for the "working businessman in a luxurious atmosphere. Television is a large flat screen with a personal greeting when you enter. A wide range of TV channels. Everything is so broad in the room, I think it can hold a wheelchair.
The decorations on the wall are not the traditional paintings. No, beautiful photographs of Rotterdam and an Art Deco poster of the Rotterdam Lloyd with the Java-Sumatra boat. Fittingly found.
The bathroom
Beautiful white and black color combinations with a little beige. There is a bath, there is a separate shower and a rather large sink. The nice things: shower gel, shampoo, soap is all of a homemade style products, all grafted onto an environmentally friendly lifestyle and health. The heavenly program. I've never had a shampoo with wheat flakes or a shower gel with vitamin B8. It smells delicious. You can also buy these products at the reception. If you need anything from toothbrushes to lens solution then you can request it. There is a list in the bathroom with what you can get to them. There are plenty of towels, plush white very big. On the door hangs a white bathrobe embroidered with the westin logo. The toilet looks fine. Perhaps one disadvantage: the toilet roll holder is difficult to operate.
The bed
The Westin is proud of the beds. The mattresses are specially made for them. Sixteen layers thick mattress. They call it "Heavenly beds" I must say they can also be proud. Hard, Soft and it molds to your body and is perfect. But the bed is soft. Adequate buffers. Super. I have slept very well.
Restaurant/breakfast
There is a separate restaurant and a bar Lighthouse. In the restaurant I have not been. In the center of Rotterdam you will find plenty of nice places to eat. But the breakfast room is again very light and modern. The operation is very appropriate and you can provide yourself what you want.
And of course there is everything of continental breakfast.
Conclusion
We tasted real luxury with this hotel and our stay was superb from the room to the staff everything was perfect. A really nice atmosphere and a look location! What more do you want. It comes for a high price but just keep on looking for a good deal because they are sometimes out there.
