“good find”

The hotel was clean, staff were friendly and efficient. The decor is definately modern and funky and it's a little different to the standard corporate hoitel. Great place, definately recommended.

“Trendy & comfortable hotel in central Maastricht”

Comfortable and trendy hotel in central Maastricht. Within walking distance of the train station and the main square.

“Trendy hotel near train station”

Very friendly people with hotel close to train station and city center, all in walking distance. Rooms nicely decorated (trendy and colorful) but small and without airconditioning. Pets not allowed, although they made an exception for our small dog as this was mentioned in our reservation. Would stay there again if dogs were allowed!

“Designer hotel with great service”

Modern and colourful hotel within easy walking distance of bridge across to old town and close to railway station. Staff were superb, both friendly (Englsih speaking of course) and efficient, on reception, at breakfast and in the bar. We found our bedroom noisy because of sound of generators outside room (we had no AC so had windows open on very hot evening). There was no problem moving rooms. However we had same problem as our new room overlooked courtyard. The bar didn't close until 0100 and kitchen staff started at 0500 and voices carried up to our room. After two nights we asked to be moved again and the 3rd room was perfect for us. We never felt that it was too much trouble for them. Rooms are quite big but don't have wardrobes - just wall-mounted hangers. Free broadband connection on computer in bar. There is wireless broadband but not cheap. Good european breakfast (hot and cold; pity there is no restaurant for evening meals but there are plenty close by. Would definitely go there again.

“Good Value and Nice Retreat for Leisure”

I stayed at this hotel for business in early December 2008. The hotel was in a nice location in the city center. You can walk to shops, bars and restaurants. There is a little casino a few steps away. We stayed on a Sunday night and the parking was free on the street until 8am. Then we paid the meter the evening before for a few Euros. Internet was available but I did not use it. Decent exercise place for a European hotel. My hotel room was on the street and it was relatively loud outside until about 2am and then there was some construction that started early. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. Nice service. I would stay there again for a good rate or on leisure. The hotel is set-up as a romantic getaway; many couples staying at the hotel. My business partner's room had a siloutte of a naked women above his bed; mine was a a city scene. In my particular room; there was not a desk. Shower and bathroom were clean and adequate. If I return to Maastricht, I would strongly consider staying here again.

“Tradition with a twist”

A lovely position, very close to the railway station and pretty central to the old town. Boutique-style hotel, with simple, relaxed reception and friendly service. Great room with balcony - but simple things missing: no hand soap in the bathroom, for one, and although a non-smoking room, the balcony was pretty full of cigarette butts - not nice for non-smokers! Really liked the hotel but something of this standard could be even nicer.

“Not a good design”

We stayed for two nights at the Designhotel whilst my husband was taking part in the Amstel Gold bike race, I admit I probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel originally however because of the race there wasn't much else available in Maastricht. Overall I think it's trying too hard to be something it's not really, the room we had was basic and in all honesty no better than some much cheaper hotels we have stayed at in other places in Holland. It was quite dusty & could have done with a lick of paint as the walls & paintwork were very marked & looked shabby. The shower room was very basic and smelled damp. The communal hallways smelled a little musty & generally looked quite unloved. The lounge was nice and our daughter enjoyed the games tables and the hugging seat! We didn't get a chance to try the restaurant as breakfast wasn't included so we found a lovely place just up the road which was much cheaper. The location is good, very close to the train station (cheapest parking) and a short walk through pretty streets and over the bridge into the main shopping/eating areas. I definitely wouldn't stay here again, it's not really a family type hotel, maybe good for students or couples athough I think it was vastly overpriced for what it was.

“Useless, dysfunctional room”

The "design" doesn't work. No mirrors to shave/comb hair in, clothing rack too high to use, nowhere to sit, wasted space on silly tub, no place to put soap in shower except floor, I could go on and on. Staff was great but room most uncomfortable for the most money I've ever stayed in.

“Eden Design Hotel”

* Room interior wasn't nice/quality design * Very basic,no closet, no counter or anything to put suitcases. * pillow cases didn't feel clean. * Only 1 shampoo, 1 body wash; no handsoap or refill for a double room and stay of 3 nights * Cramped little room, next to construction site; very noisy * Reception staff unfriendly and charged many items we didn't use, e.g. minibar charges (we didn't even have a mini bar in the room), breakfast charges ( never knew there was a breakfast room), wine (again; never had any)...it was a pain to get the charges deleted from the bill. *Staff always seemed to be annoyed and bothered when you asked for info/service.
