The Ultimate Winter Residence (Oct – March)

Rotterdam has grown into one of Europe’s most popular cities in recent years, but the housing market has struggled to keep up. A furnished studio in the city center now comes at premium prices, and waiting times for regular rental housing often exceed five years.

Looking for a temporary place between October and the end of March for a minimum stay of 30 days? Our location in Rotterdam Centrum/Noord offers the perfect solution for anyone who wants to move in immediately without the bureaucracy of a long-term lease.

Why Rotterdam in the Winter?

While Amsterdam is often overcrowded, Rotterdam offers a raw, modern energy that is perfect for those who want to work or study in the city. With our fixed monthly rate, you avoid the price surges that regular hotels apply during busy weekends or major events in Ahoy.

The Costs: What Do You Really Save?

Prices in Rotterdam are still slightly more favorable than in the capital. Below you can see how our offering compares to alternatives in the city:

Option for 1 Month Average Price (2026) Conditions
Mid-range Hotel €3,800 – €4,500 No private facilities
Short-Stay Apartment €2,200 – €2,600 Often requires a high deposit
Student Housing €900 – €1,100 Years-long waiting list
Our Rotterdam City Hub €1,850 All-inclusive & immediately available

Please note: Prices in our City Hub exclude 6.5% tourist tax. This is significantly lower than the 12.5% charged in Amsterdam, resulting in immediate savings.

The Location: Central & Well Connected

Our partner accommodation in Rotterdam is known for its modern, urban character and is located in a strategic area. Whether you work in the port or study at Erasmus University, everything is within easy reach.

  • Design & Comfort: Studios are intelligently designed with attention to detail. Not a standard hotel room, but a place that truly feels like home.
  • Flexible Working: Excellent Wi-Fi and shared workspaces make this the ideal location for digital nomads and professionals.
  • All-in-One Living: No separate bills for electricity, water, or internet. One fixed monthly rate offers complete peace of mind.

Who Is This Monthly Rental For?

This offer is exclusively available for stays of at least one month between October and March. It is the perfect solution for:

  • Project staff stationed in the Rotterdam region for several months.
  • Digital nomads who want to experience the architectural capital of the Netherlands.
  • House hunters who need a comfortable base while searching for permanent housing.

Exclusive Booking
