Room Rotterdam

Our aim is to always be a home away from home for our guests as well as our volunteers. We always want our volunteers to get as much as possible out of their experience here, not just cleaning but experiencing Rotterdam, then Netherlands and Dutch life.

The Story of Room is Really a story of 2 inspirational women who love backpacking.... The story about hostel ROOM started a long, long time ago when two Dutch friends (Mirjam & Monique) finished their studies back in the late 90’s. They took their backpacks, packed their paperback Lonely Planet guides and started travelling the world. Whilst travelling, having an occasional drink, meeting lots of other travelers and being very busy with exploring the world, they came up with the idea to start a hostel in their hometown Rotterdam….and we all know the best ideas come to life when you’re on vacation! It took a little while, some planning, lots of money, motivation, determination and with a hell lot of help from friends and family, but finally in 2006 the ultimate dream started: opening a backpackers hostel in Rotterdam. The 1st independent hostel in the city! Now that we are many years ahead hostel ROOM has become a buzzing backpackers hostel and we are still super proud of what has been achieved. So many people from of all over the world have found their home away from home, fell in love, broke up, got drunk, made new friends and got inspired to pursue their own dreams and goals in life. They all became just as enthusiastic about Rotterdam as we are and shared their thoughts and crazy pictures with the rest of the world. We couldn’t have created this great ‘home away from home’ community hostel without our lovely dedicated staff. A great mix between local Rotterdam citizens and travelers who decided to stick around for a while. They are all part now of this amazing ROOM family and we all have one thing in common: our love for Rotterdam and travelling! We can't wait to meet you and hope to welcome you soon in our hostel! Lots of love Sam, Mirjam and Monique

The people working here are lovely :) The work is physical but generally quite straightforward, and the agreed-upon tasks and hours are always respected. I had a lot of fun hanging out with the other volunteers and staff. The hostel also provides the basics for breakfast and lunch, as well as free drinks at the bar, which was very nice. I personally think it is more fun to be here during the busier seasons, as there are more travellers coming through and the evening events are livelier.

I had a wonderful time during my stay in hostel ROOM! The vibe felt very welcoming from the beginning and it was really easy to get along with the staff and other volunteers :)
Even though it’s not a paid position you get a bit of pocket money and food provided, which means that you don’t really have to buy a lot of extra stuff by yourself! On demanding days with a lot of checkouts the work could be a bit challenging of course, but i felt like the hours and amount of work were reasonable and fair.
It was definitely a great first volunteering experience!

Thank you for having me!🌞

I had a great time in hostel ROOM! There's good atmosphere, nice staff, and you get breakfast, lunch and some additional pocket money and drinks at the bar. Good location to explore the city and the Netherlands.
The work itself is absolutely fair but physical, you'll clean toilets and carry heavy things up and down the stairs so it can get quite demanding on busy days. Also, the volunteer room could have been better than a basment with zero privacy, but I was lucky to have an amazing team so it made it bearable.
Thanks for everything! :)

I had an amazing experience during my stay at Hostel ROOM Rotterdam! The atmosphere was welcoming and it quickly felt like home.

Not only did I receive breakfast and lunch every day, but they also provided a little extra money for food and even went shopping weekly to make sure we had more than enough, which basically covered dinner as well.

The location of the hostel was perfect, making it easy to explore the city and enjoy everything Rotterdam has to offer. I’m truly grateful for the time I spent here and for the wonderful people I met along the way.

Great location and great team:) There was always someone to talk to and always something to do. The room that you share with other volunteers is cozy and you also get some basic ingredients in addition to great breakfast. Work can be demanding because it involves cleaning the toilets and carrying cleaning supplies and sheets up and down many stairs.. but you always get a break and coffee and help from other workers:)
