This hotel is a good place to stay in Maastricht. Yes, it could need a little updating, but that's also part of the experience. Comprehensive breakfast buffet and a good restaurant with a very friendly staff. The neighbourhood, called Wyck, is trendy and stylish, there are several exclusive shops and good restaurants at a stone's throw. The city centre is only a few minutes walk when you can't furfill your needs nearby the hotel.

the hotel rooms were rather nice but the lighting terrible, I had to move a lamp to be able to read in bed. The noice from the airconditioning was also annoying, thankfully it could be turned off at nigth - but then the air got rather stale. The carpets in the corridor were loosening from the wall, giving an impression of a hotel in decline. There was trouble with the hot water supply when I was there - taking a cold shower can be invigorating, but should be a matter of choice. Off course this can happen anywhere - but my impression of the hotel would have been better if they had acknowledge the problem and tried to compensate it in some (minor) way.
Breakfast was ok - full of small little packages of cereals and sprinkles.

My wife and I spent 2 nights here - we were in town to attend the Andre Rieu Orchestra concert. Due to the concert, the town was very busy, especially the hotel. People from all over the world. We had originally tried to get into the Amrath DuCasque which is on the square where the concert takes place outdoor (the Vrijthof). It might have been nice but it would have been very noisy on the nights of the concert - so the hotel we chose was better - it was about a 15 minute, easy, walk to the concert. The hotel was perfectly adequate, clean and the staff were very helpful, albeit under pressure due to a full house. The price was good - we didn't eat at the hotel - the breakfast was Euro 17.50 which we thought was too much. Eating out in the town was quite expensive, but places can be found. Overall, a high-end 3 star hotel.

I went back a year later and it was even better than I remembered it. Hope I won't have to wait another year to go back.
