1.5 meters society

A concept that until recently nobody had heard of, is now becoming part of our daily life.
Rooms on Water places high priority on the health, safety and well-being of our guests and employees and makes every effort to prevent risks of contamination and spread.
Most likely, Rooms on Water will open again (in a limited way) from Tuesday 2 June, so that we can now prepare well for the then applicable rules and the 1.5-meter society.

The additional general measures we have taken to increase your safety during your stay with us:

• We follow government guidelines and recommendations.
• We provide information on COVID-19 and management instructions.
• Keep 1.5 meters away. Both to our employees and to other guests
• Your bedroom and bathroom are cleaned very well and also disinfected for your stay
• Regular disinfection of public areas and exposed surfaces such as door handles (B&B)
• At the hotel entrance, guests can disinfect their hands
• Hand soap is available in every bathroom

B & B / hotel
Initially we will open 4 rooms (instead of all 6), so that everyone can stay in the living room at the same time and have breakfast or sit on the roof terrace.
Each bedroom can be booked by a maximum of 1 household. You must demonstrate this when booking.
Of course you have to comply with all conditions required by the government, so give each other space when moving and always keep a distance of 1.5 meters.
Breakfast service

• Please wait at the indicated place until the owner shows you your table.
• Our breakfast buffet expires, but you can have breakfast à la carte in the living room by indicating your wishes in advance on a checklist.
• To maintain sufficient distance, we serve at an appropriate distance, after which you can grab your breakfast yourself.

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.

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.

Those who rent the group accommodation, I ask on board Extra houserules groups English to read and sign. This is to prevent discussion afterwards.

Of course we think privacy for every visitor of this website is important.
