About About the place

De Witte Aap is a well-established bar located on the vibrant Witte de Withstraat in Rotterdam. It has evolved over time, once celebrated for its inclusive atmosphere welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds, but now experiences mixed feedback regarding service and respect for patrons. The bar offers a wide range of drinks, often features live music, and is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Despite some concerns about staff behavior and crowding, it remains a central hub for nightlife in the area.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

Even though there were so many options, we chose this hotel for the stay for the second time because we were very impressed by the friendly atmosphere of this place. The people here are the best and so nice and warm. Hotel is situated at a good location which is also a great plus. It was a wonderful stay overall.

This place has a lovely atmosphere and is built in a beautiful location. The people here are very warm and friendly and offer amazing hospitality. The ambience here is so pretty that it is perfect for quiet intimate dinners and lunches. The food served here is delicious and the local delicacies are a must try.
