Good value and convenient
This hostel is nothing fancy but good value and perfectly adequate. The location is very good, just 10 mins. walk from Rotterdam Centraal. I would book again.
What I did not like about my stay at A&O Rotterdam City was that the lock for the bathroom has a gap meaning anyone could be watched whilst showering and/or using the toilet. This is a breach of privacy. Secondly, I feel the room could've been kept better care of, it attracted bugs and I have received multiple bites because of it. Something extra I want to add is that the elevator to the 2nd and 3rd floors, inside the elevator sometimes the button can take a few presses to flash and take someone to the floor number they chose. This can cause some anxiety especially since the same applies to the button that opens the doors too. This hostel is very convenient, but I feel it does need to improve. I would probably come again if I visit Rotterdam again but things do need to change.
Really scruffy place. Stayed in A&O hostels before in Germany and we're pretty good. Noisy road outside room had to use ear plugs. My rule is I ask myself the question would I stay here again the answer is no.

Good value
Hostel was busy with a wide range of age groups, plenty of space in 6 bed dorm, close to the Rotterdam Central Station and the city centre, breakfast was available but didn’t use it, cheap price for a one night stay

Very convinient
Had a good stay. The room was small but for one person was ok.
Loved the water pressure in the shower.
The breakfast buffet was very good.
And it’s conveniently located 5 blocks away from Rotterdam Central.

Booked 2 rooms got 1
I booked 2 rooms. They apologized and said the room was the same. As I walked away they noticed my brother and niece. I had to tell them I booked 2rooms. They looked it up and said that's ok. At least it was only 1 night. The room had 2 side by side beds and a set of bunk beds. I didn't know I booked a hostel since I had filtered hostels out of my search . A little loud at night, but that is expected.
Manager on Duty was outstanding, excellent,amazing
The manager on duty (his name starts with a G, apologies, I am terrible with names) was excellent, outstanding, and just amazing! Every establishment needs someone like that gentleman, the world will be in safe hands, and a happier place.
