Haven Hotel is eighth, tied with the DoubleTree next door and a little farther from the ship. It's the old Mainport, reopened in September 2025 as the first Curio Collection hotel in the Netherlands, with an indoor pool and about 0.9 miles on foot to Cruise Terminal Rotterdam over the Erasmus Bridge by our routing.
Families get one real break. Children under 12 eat breakfast free beside a paying adult, per Hilton — the adult price isn't printed.
Parking matches the DoubleTree's: €37.00 (about US$40) a day, €45.00 (about US$50) valet. Leuvehaven metro is next door, two stops from Wilhelminaplein. Ride it, not the bridge, with suitcases.
Book it for a family with young children, and take the metro or a taxi in the morning.

- You want a pool and a metro stop next door

Look elsewhere if
