De Bijenkorf Rotterdam is one of the largest department stores in the city, located a short walk…read moreaway from Stadhuis, on Coolsingel, it is located in a very impressive building, opening in 1956. It is a high-end department store chain, with the same ownership as Selfridge and Co in the UK, the stores do appear to be very similar to what I'm used to with Selfridge and Co back home, especially in terms of the appearance of the exterior. The main difference for me is the absence of a Food Hall (This particular location does have a Cafe though). The upmarket prices and vibes remain in most areas of the store, I do find some of the store's clothing sections to have vibes most similar to a market, rather than an upmarket department store though. The staff are very friendly and offer good service, with good product knowledge to explain beauty and fragrance products in detail, with benefits when appropriate. It is over multiple levels, with a decent number of escalators/lifts, and toilet facilities. A large department store with good service and a good selection of products, certainly worth a browse when looking to shop or kill some time in Rotterdam. 4*

Sure, it's not the highest quality or the most expensive, but it's one stop shopping with a decent little cafe. Staff are usually willing and able to answer my questions in English too - always a bonus. If you are from the US, you can compare HEMA to Fred Meyer or Target (...maybe just a little nicer than Target).

HEMA is a favorite of mine. Very low prices for a dinner (2,50) or breakfast (1,-). Quality is…read moregood and there are always some nice seats available. And it is a good place to watch people.
