Important information

Rooms on Water is located in the heart of Rotterdam center, making parking on the street very expensive. In a parking house is always less expensive.

But…. There are alternatives!

– Free parking at a P + R (max. 24 uur, you need a OV chipcard), after which you travel back and forth by public transport.
– Parking garage De Markthal (https://parkereninmarkthal.nl). This parking garage uses different rates, but also has an offer per 24 hours. You have to book in advance by internet;
– ParkBee Wijnstraat 100 or 78. These car park are very close by, but more expensive then De Markthal. Please note: Reservations can be made via internet. 

Train:
You can take the train to Rotterdam central, hence it is 15-20 minutes walk to the Wolfshoek where the ship is located.
By metro (line C, D or E) from Rotterdam you can get off at the stop Beurs / Churchill and take exit ‘Maritiem Museum’.
You can also take the train to station Blaak. From there it is a 5-10 minute walk to Rooms on Water.

Subway:
Rooms on Water is located next to the intersection of metro lines. A and B go from east to west v.v., and therefore also from P + R Kalingse Zoom to the Beurs / Churchill stop (see parking).
The lines C, D and E go from north to south, e.g.
It is just 10 minutes to AHOY, and there are even more hotspots to reach quickly.

Tram / Bus
Also the tram and bus stops are around the corner.
Here is a link to a RET page with more info about the routes of tram and metro: https://www.ret.nl/home/reizen/kaarten-plattegronden.html

The most important house rule is:
You treat the accommodation and its inventory / contents with respect.
In 2017 I worked hard to convert the ship’s hold into the beautiful, athmosferic accommodation that it is now and which I am very proud of.
If something does break, please report it to me. I live on the back of the ship.

It is of course forbidden to smoke in the entire accommodation. It is allowed on deck on the roof terrace. There is also a large ashtray. Do not throw the remnants overboard.

You will find all the rules: House rules Rooms on Water

Those who rent the group accommodation will be asked to read through and sign a summary (Extra) group house rules upon arrival on board. This is to avoid discussion afterwards.

Of course we think privacy for every visitor of this website is important.
In the following statement I try to clearly state what your rights are and how we use your (personal) data.

AVG May 2018

• Can I take my dog on board? No, pets are not allowed on board Rooms on Water for reasons of hygiene and possible allergies. The owner has a dog that does not come near the guests, not even on the roof terrace.
• How is the temperature regulated on the boat? There is underfloor heating throughout and air conditioning in all bedrooms and the lounge. There is also a cosy pellet stove in the lounge. In summer there is an awning over the roof terrace. The boat is wonderfully comfortable in both summer and winter.
• Can we cook for ourselves? Groups who book group accommodation do so on a self-catering basis. The kitchen is therefore at their disposal and they can certainly cook. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, induction hob, oven, microwave, coffee maker and Dolce Gusto. Breakfast is not served by the owner.
  B&B guests always receive breakfast but are not allowed to use the kitchen for cooking. Meeting guests can choose their level of service.
• Are there any breakfast places nearby? Yes, several. For example, Harvest in Glashaven, Anne & Max in the Korte Hoogstraat, Backyard (vegan) in the Korte Hoogstraat. Some breakfast shops also deliver.
• Is there a supermarket nearby? Yes, Jumbo on the Wijnhaven, AH in the Markthal.
• How many people can stay at Rooms on Water? This depends very much on the group and the type of stay.
  For a reception, birthday party, etc. without overnight stay, there is space for approx. 30 pesons. There are (partly fixed) seats for 18 people. Side        tables can be arranged.
  For a meeting, I recommend a maximum of 12 people.
  For an overnight group, the 6 bedrooms have 12 single beds (or 6 double beds) but there are also some fold-out beds. A maximum of 3 fold-out beds can be used at extra cost and after consultation.
   At b&b it is possible to have a child sleep in the extra fold-out bed at extra costs.
• I would like to bring my child, is this allowed?
  The group accommodation is not equipped for children. So if you bring (grand)children please pay attention to the following: On deck it is dangerous for children, so they should never be alone on deck; Sockets are mounted low; There are valuables.
  At B&B, the hotel ship is off limits to small children, including babies. Children from the age of 9, so they are approachable, are welcome and they will have a great time and not bother the other guest
