“Nice and clean and fairly cheap for Maastricth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2010
1
person found this review helpful

OK, so this isn't a hotel, this seem to clash with some of the other reviewers comments.
I wanted a cheapish place to stay overnight in Maastricht, something that was not a hostel and not a 4 star hotel, there is plenty of B&B in the town, but I selected De Hofnar because of how easy it is to book and see if any rooms are available.

The room was small, but I knew this already so I had no complaints there, we had shared bathroom (nice and big) and toilet (typical Dutch 'under the stairs' kind)
The place was nice and clean and the double windows in our room, facing to the street, provided sufficient noise cancellation to sleep.

The mattresses is a little soft for my liking, but I'm complicated when it comes to that.
The place offer free wireless connection for anyone who need.

The place is almost smack in the center of town (St. Servaas church is right across the street)

Since there is no-one in the 'reception' after 14:00, then you are send a door code and have to get your key yourself in a little key cupboard. This strike me a little odd, but the information was good and we had no problems at all.

For 7 Euros extra you get a full continental breakfast, not fantastic but sufficient for our taste, we walked away happy and satisfied.

The only thing I may miss a bit, is an outside area, the place have a lovely courtyard in the back. But I think that's for private use only.

“wouldn't go there”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2010

We stayed in the hofnar for two nights and I didn't sleep one of them. The room was just too noisy and too small. The owner is very annoying, I would subcribe it as arrogant, not friendly at all. Do not expect any customer service and a great breakfast, cause you wouldn't find it here.

“wouldn't stay there again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2008

Not a very pleasant stay because much too expensive.
We paid 82 euro for an extremely small room with no bath nor toilet en suite.
There's no double glass so it's like sleeping on the street so clear are the noises from passers by, cyclists,cars and church bells early in the morning. The toilet was very small too but the shower was ok (I'm surprised it's not been turned into a room) The mini room was clean but we felt cheated as we stayed in the Liège Holiday in last week for only 60 euro.

“Clean and comfortable -- just don't order the breakfast”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2006
8
people found this review helpful

My brother and I stayed at De Hofnar for two nights in August. The house and the street it's on are charming. The bedroom and the bathroom were clean and comfortable.

However, we really did not have a very enjoyable experience. The breakfast costs 5 Euro per person, and you can feed yourself better for less money in a nearby cafe. The host was also no help in getting to the B&B by public transit. Even if he doesn't use it himself, he never bothered getting directions for guests? When we finally got in late at night, the host charged us for the map of the city! We could afford the map, but it's an attitude that says "You are not guests in my house," which is unusual in a B&B owner.

If you stay at a B&B for a decent room at a decent price, De Hofnar is great. But if you also enjoy meeting local people, do not have high expectations.
