Cheap hotels in Rotterdam

Rotterdam is the Netherlands’ modern, architectural port city, rebuilt after the war with bold buildings like the Cube Houses and the Markthal. Hotels are often cheaper than in Amsterdam, and fast trains link the two in well under an hour.

Rotterdam’s cruise terminal is on the Wilhelminakade in the Kop van Zuid district, next to the historic Holland America Line building, and many Rhine river cruises also start or end in the city.
