citizenM Rotterdam is sixteenth, a compact hotel by the Oude Haven. Marriott, which now runs citizenM's booking pages, prints on-site parking at €24.95 (about US$30) a day, the lowest day rate any hotel in our twenty charges on its own premises. Check-in starts at 2 pm.
Nothing else on the page scores. Breakfast is a hot and cold buffet you pay for, price unprinted, and no restaurant is listed — the Markthal does dinner, not the hotel.
Our walking route to Cruise Terminal Rotterdam is about 1.6 miles, roughly 34 minutes, so it's a taxi in the morning: about 1.4 road miles by our routing.
Book it for the 2 pm check-in and the Markthal down the street, not for the ship.
