What a big shopping center! I really didn't expect it but this place has every major store in one…read moreshopping center! Some of the bigger stores include the Media Markt, V & D, Hema, Blokker, and many others. I really liked that most of it was covered which is ideal in Dutch weather. The only negative was the lack of restrooms! You really need to go into a larger store or restaurant to use one. They really need more public restrooms!

The store is very similar to the TJ Maxx in the USA, but it's called TK Maxx in Europe.

The prices here aren't terrible but I have seen many unique items (e.g. Apple products accessories such as iPhone cases). The store is pretty organized. The staffs are also friendly here.

Loved it! Just like TJ Maxx in America!! Even some of the same kinds of products! They even have…read morethe food section! Of course I always need all the glassware and they set theres up in a window where they catch the light beautifully making them appear all the more attractive. Bought some really cute pet stuff on my last visit.

I know this is considered a tourist trap but I am so glad I came over to check it out. We went to a…read morelot of places to try the food. We had coffee at the tea bar. We got a corn dog, a smash burger, stroopwaffle with Nutella, crispy tofu, chocolate truffles, chicken dumplings, chai tea, macchiato latte, cannoli, and ramen. Most of the employees are very kind. Some are a little prickly but that might be because I'm American and only speak English. Most of the things we bought were priced well. There were only a couple of things that were pricey. The whole Markthal is fun atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place.

Cookies, fish, Chinese, empanadas, etc. amazing! A few gift stores also made it easy to say yes, since the prices were comparable to what we'd been seeing. It was very warm inside, but they were having a heatwave. Maybe it's usually much more comfortable inside. My other peeve was to have to pay for the use of the toilet. You'd think that at least they would be cleaned and stocked, it was not. Overall, super neat place to stop in quickly or hangout. Located in a very central location of downtown.

The store is lovely and a lot of space with many designer stores inside. I went to the Louis…read morevuitton store and was assisted by Tesa. She was really patient and assisted me on my many visits

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*

Each time it states - "Something has gone wrong. Please try again or use another payment method." I've tried two other credit cards and keep getting the same message. And, the balance on the gift card goes away and doesn't come back for 24 hours. Are they going bankrupt and are causing this intentional error to avoid honoring the money on their gift cards? Do not buy IKEA gift cards, for that matter don't buy from IKEA, they've turned into a crooked company.
