About this property
A beautiful group accommodation on the water in Rotterdam center
Attractive modern accommodation in Rotterdam city center with 6 bedrooms, each with a private bathroom.
Rooms on Water is a 40-meter long ship, whose hold was converted in 2017 into a beautiful group accommodation for standard 12 people.
All 6 bedrooms have a private bathroom with shower and underfloor heating. In these cozy bedrooms there is air conditioning (hot/cold), and opening porthole (round window), underfloor heating and a wardrobe. There are 2 single beds, which we can convert into double beds on request.
The living room is very attractive and cozy. With a large glass wall along the indoor entrance, two large koekoeken (wooden skylights with glass), several robust oak tables and an old wooden carpenter's workbench, the atmosphere is warm industrial. You can make yourself comfortable here. Hang out on the lounge sofa, play games at a table, or cook as a group, slide the tables together and have a wonderful dinner.
Above the living room on deck is the roof terrace. Here you can enjoy the evening and the city dynamics.
Rotterdam: everything close by
A stay in Rotterdam means shopping, architecture, a ride in the water cab, enjoying the lively Market Hall or the real market (Tuesday or Saturday), strolling along the Old Harbour with its historic ships, shopping in the Hoogstraat, Koopgoot or Meent, or a museum visit. All of these hotspots are within a 5 - 10 minute walk from Rooms on Water.
Of course, you can rent bikes and discover the city that way, or take a great walk along the river Maas or through the lesser-known parts of the city.
But from Rotterdam you can also get to the beach in three quarters of an hour. There is even a metro going to the beach at Hoek van Holland. By metro or train you can go to the beautiful historic cities of The Hague (40 min.), Delft (less than 30 min.), Leiden (around 40 min.), Haarlem (over 1 hour), Amsterdam (over 50 min.) or Utrecht (50 min.), by water bus to Kinderdijk or Dordrecht....
In short during a stay on board Rooms on Water you can enjoy a very nice varied vacation. Discover Rotterdam and see a part of the Netherlands.
I, Moniek the owner, live on board in the former skipper's house, the guests live in the former ship's hold. Normally we do not or hardly meet outside.
Note: All the 6 bathrooms are the same. And all the 6 sleeping rooms are the same.
Note: If you are organizing a bachelor party, Rooms on Water is usually not suitable. Rooms on Water is not a party boat. Reservations can only be made under strict conditions. Please contact the owner before booking to discuss your request.
Please note: The ship is not suitable for children under 9 years of age

About the host
Hosted by Moniek van der Werff

Hello my name is Moniek van der Werff and I am the owner of the ship Wilhelmina, better known as Rooms on Water. I sailed with guests on a former barge for many years. In winter, we rented it out as a group accommodation and b&b in Rotterdam. I liked that so much that I converted this ship and rented it out full time in the centre of Rotterdam. I live on board in the former skipperhouse.
Why they chose this property
The ship is right in the centre of Rotterdam, a top location! Everything is close by, but it can also be very quiet. Guests can enjoy the beautiful view over the port.
What makes this property unique
Rooms on Water is an old ship. She was built in 1913 and beautifully converted in 2017 into an atmospheric holiday home with nautical details, It's surprising how fully equipped it is, incl. air conditioning, underfloor heating and WiFi....
