The Bilderberg Parkhotel is tenth, held back by what nobody prints. Michelin's listing gives it 196 rooms, a bar, a gym, a sauna and self-parking at €29.50 (about US$35) a day, and Rotterdam's tourist board adds family rooms with connecting doors, about eight minutes on foot from Centraal.
The bar earns it the evening's three points. Neither listing names a restaurant or covers breakfast — a gap in the record, not proof they're missing.
Our walking route to Cruise Terminal Rotterdam is about 1.2 miles (1.9 km), roughly 26 minutes, through the Museum Quarter and over the bridge. With bags, call a taxi.
Book it for a family that needs two connecting rooms, and ask about breakfast before you pay.

- You're driving and want a priced garage
- You like a sauna before a long trip
Look elsewhere if
