Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam
Very comfortable and clean, perfect for our short break. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the accommodation is located in the city centre so it is easy to explore the city, and there are lots of shops and eateries within a short walking distance. Would happily stay again!
