“Top notch kitchen, pleasant atmosphere but bad view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Early this year we stayed at this hotel for a long weekend, we had to travel by train from the flat western part of the Netherlands to the hilly part of South-eastern Netherland in Limburg. When we arrived in the late afternoon for our long weekend stay, we were stunned by the view of many expensive cars, most Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW and even Rolls Royce! Well, if you have money you can treat yourself at the best and indeed, the kitchen wat the best part of Kasteel Wittem. We enjoyed our 5 course dinner, everything was perfect, from the 'hors d'oeuvre' to the dessert and the service was also great. Of course the prices match with this top notch kitchen so this is not a trip to do a few times a year if you don't own an expensive car, haha. The interior of the castle has a lot of dark wood, wonderful but the middle class room was no more than decent. And we were disappointed by the view, on a wall of a farmhouse and partly on a highroad, not very romantic or exciting. Nonetheless, we like our stay very much, especially the very romantic atmosphere in the dining room and the excellent food will be kept in our memory.

“very enjoyable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2010

Visited twice with customers, excellent food and wine list. Very good and friendly service. Expensive and upmarket? Yes, but that is what it is and very well done. I will be going back.

“Quality experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2009

We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve at Kasteel Wittem. Marc and Peter were very gracious and accommodating from early on in making the reservation to when we departed New Year’s day. The entire staff was very pleasant and professional, from seating us in the parlor for aperitifs and amazing appetizers, escorting us to a romantic table when we were ready, serving and explaining each course, to escorting us back to the parlor at the end of the evening for coffee and a ‘digestif’. Our special New Year’s Eve meal was just that – ‘special’. The Kasteel Wittem’s kitchen lived up to its excellent reputation. The ingredients, preparation and presentation were top notch. The wine was perfectly paired and presented with each of the 6 courses. Our room was very nice and quiet. We chose a more rustic room on the top floor. The beds were quite comfortable. Breakfast service was also well done, accommodating a later hour given the night’s festivities, which included a surprisingly nice fireworks display in the Kasteel’s courtyard. We highly recommend Kasteel Wittem. We will be back.

  • Liked — Excellent food and wine, attention to detail, and being in a restored castle.
  • Disliked — The only items that stand out are small. Coffee served was good, but not up to the level of the rest of the fare. Lighting in the rooms could be brighter.

“Castle should be called "Kasteel Snobbish Wittem"”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2008

people found this review helpful

From the moment we arrived as Americans to Castle Wittem we were treated "snobbishly". They owner & his brother are EXTREMELY rude. We were in comfortable traveling clothes from sight seeing & they looked us up & down like we were homeless or something. We had Khaki's & sweatshirts...
We stayed at the hotel two nights. On the first morning we were there we were exiting the hotel to sight see & the owner basically grabbed the keys out of my mothers hand & said "we would feel more comfortable keeping these in case you would lose them". We were totally insulted!! The room smelled of stale smoke and was very dingy looking. I think the reason it seemed dingy is mostly because we were bummed that the owners/ staff was sooo unfriendly & unwelcoming. Definately not worth the money!!!! BEWARE, I am serious! The only pleasant thing about the hotel was that it was extremely beautiful from the outside. The grounds & the Castle itself are beautiful.

  • Liked — The only thing I liked was the beauty of the outside of the Castle & moat
  • Disliked — UNFRIENDLY, RUDE, SNOBBY owners & staff!!!!!!

“best place ever”

person found this review helpful

went there to relax with my wife.
We go there every year and just love the atmosphere and food.
It is a amazing little place with lots of character.
Service is wonderful, especially the owner Mark Ritzen.
He gives you great service with this "feeling you are at home and a friend".
The gardens are beautiful maintained and a great place to go for a walk before dinner.
Dinner is the best there is in the world.
Can recommend it to anybody.
Only 20 minutes away from city of Maastricht by taxi where there is great shopping.

  • Liked — the overall ambiance
  • Disliked — loved every little thing about it.........nothing negative.......best there is
