Room Mate Bruno is third and closer to the terminal than anything else we measured. On our walking route it's about 65 m from the door to Esri's point for Wilhelminakade 699, the terminal's address — a minute with a suitcase, not a transfer.
It ties on points with Pincoffs, nhow and Hotel New York. It edges them on the tie-breaks: parking of its own, if unpriced, and the shortest distance.
Breakfast is a continental buffet until noon, which suits a late boarding time, but Room Mate says inclusion depends on the rate. The Family Duplex, 55 to 66 m² for four, is one of the few family rooms on the pier.
Book it for the shortest possible morning, and pick a rate with breakfast if you want it.
Book it if
- You want the shortest walk we measured
- Four of you need one family room
- You like a late breakfast before boarding
Look elsewhere if
- You need the parking price before you book.
- Your dog is too big for a Superior room.
- You want a full restaurant in the building.
