5/5
Absolutely beautiful design hotel. Stayed here as a Marriott Platinum member and our room was huge - living room, big table for work, and bedroom. The staff were helpful and location is slightly off the beaten path by about 5-10 min walk. The only downside is the pillows - they are too high! We asked for alternative but both feather and foam were huge in height and not comfortable on the neck. Ended up sleeping with the pillows on the sofa.

The cleanliness and design of the room was a lot better than expected. The loft is just so chic! This is such a beautifully-designed hotel within walking distance from the train station. If you are interested in design, and a lot of history, The Slaak is a place for your adventures in Rotterdam! The staff were lovely and very helpful. The lobby, the hallways and the restaurant — everything was just beautiful and well-maintained. Minimal and standard breakfast selection but still, a very pleasant weekend experience!
