Where to stay in Schiedam, and which kind of stay suits you?

In Schiedam you can sleep in a hotel on the edge of town, in a suite hotel or B&B in a canal house on the Lange Haven, on a hotel ship or on a motorhome pitch, as the S'DAM overview shows1. By train you are in Rotterdam Centraal four minutes from Schiedam Centrum station, according to S'DAM2.

What kinds of accommodation are there in Schiedam?

S'DAM lists five kinds of accommodation in and around Schiedam1.

A few B&Bs are in remarkable buildings. According to S'DAM, Bed & Breakfast Lange Haven is in a building from 1580 that used to be a jenever distillery, and at B&B Museumkwartier on the Hoogstraat you sleep under a roof structure from around 15401. These are details from S'DAM, not checked by us address by address.

What suits you?

That depends on what you are coming for. If you come by car and want easy parking, the hotels on the Hargalaan by the A20 are the obvious choice45. If you want to stroll back to your room after dinner, choose somewhere on the Lange Haven or in the Museumkwartier. A hotel ship or motorhome pitch suits anyone drawn to the water. These are general considerations; compare what each address offers exactly.

When should you book early?

Around big events it is wise to book early. That is advice, not a measured occupancy figure. Four moments stand out.

  1. Suikerzoet Filmfestival, from 18 to 22 November 20269.
  2. Kerst in S'DAM, with the Dickens Festijn, on Saturday 12 December 202610.
  3. National Mill Day, on Saturday 8 May 202711.
