Relaxing stay in Limburgh
The best things about Vaalsbroek are its proximity to the countryside (in the middle of it!), the animals (hint...cows like apples), the mosoleum, the restaurant (fantastic), and the fitness / pool area. This is why I return. The rooms are Scandinavian simple and far below the level of Kasteel Bloemendahl (a more upscale hotel nearby where I also stay often). Service is Dutch (non-existent to poor). So if you want a finer hotel with better service, choose Bloemendahl. If you want to walk in the fields and have a pool and gym, pick Vaalsbroek. I alternate myself.

Truly enjoyed the stay!
Found very well adopted to Covid-19 precautions. Restaurant and bistro recently re-opened, obviously complying with 1.5 meter distancing regulations. Compliments to the hotel staff! Nice indoor swimming pool. Clean room and good beds. A good location for visiting nearby cities of Aachen, Maastricht, Valkenburg and the ‘drielandenpunt’.

Overall good value for money
Generally happy with the hotel. One or 2 minor cleanliness issues but wouldn't put me off staying again. Very nice setting and helpful staff especially in the bar! Only complaint would be empty minibar and no water in the room. However there was room service available

I came back to this wonderful location and had a disappointing experience.The room offerred a superb view on a giant garbage container. There was no water in bottles in the room and the minibar not in service. Plastic cups instead of glasses. Old yellow plastic kettle to prepare you instant coffee. Check out was a disaster. I was presented a bill for a booking that has been already paid. As I was prepared for this ‘type of interaction’ and had previously checked that payment had been made, I immediately showed my credit card online statement. Staff was saying that the amount on the credit card statement was not matching. Long discussion with staff to explain why amount on credit card statement was different (orbucks has been deducted!!) Had to show again all emails and recalculate in front of the staff to it was correct. This took about 20 minutes and really ruined my day. Unexpected!!! Can the front desk just call Orbitz? I definitely expect more service from so called stars hotels like this.

Nice and Cozy Kasteel!
Nice and Cozy. You have to walk outside to get to the breakfast restaurant. In-room breakfast is additional 15 Euro and you also hae to pay fot 20 Euro breafast to get this service. Nice small swimming pool. Too small for teenagers. Overall nice hotel, but a bit isolated. Recommended for family.

Great hotel, great surroundings
My wife and I had a great stay at the Bilderberg Kasteel Vaalsbroek hotel. The room was nice, clean and modern. The bathroom was spacious and well equipped (even though it could use active ventilation). The breakfast buffet is great and offers a large variety of food. The area around the hotel is gorgeous. In case you have a few free minutes, I would recommend to walk through the park behind the "Kasteel", or to sit on the patio of the hotel bar while enjoying the view and a drink.

maybe my favorite castle hotel in Vaals
This is my 3rd castle ive stayed at in the Vaals - Aachen - Maastricht area. probably my favorite. it has a lively bar in the evening and there are 2 restaurants, both very expensive though. the grounds are lovely, and you can walk, ride a bike or jog in the countryside for hours. even feed the cows apples. i went on a lively run that took me into germany, back to the netherlands, into belgium and back to the netherlands. the town has a wonderful market and a number of good restaurants. i dont recommend local cuisine much. I dont recommend eating at the Zwarte Madonna. l despite the charm of some of its interior. Basic uninspired blah of the region and poor service. i dont know where to eat in vaals yet. do go to the church museum next to Zwarte Madonna. Do venture into the countryside and surrounding villages. Do spend time in Aachen. Do spend a night at least in Maastricht if you can. it is a jewel of Europe.

Overall fine stay
Overall our stay was good. We arrived after 10 pm, and found the room without bath as described in the booking. We talked to the reception and learned that not all rooms with bath, and they were sold out that night.Then the hotel offered to leave the swimming pool open for us to have a swim. We enjoyed that. However the breakfast was not so impressive, there were not so many options

Beautiful property, very relaxing. Would have given room comfort a 4, except that weather became very hot and hotel has no air conditioning. Other than that, a great stay. And a wonderful breakfast each day!

Beautiful place at the Dutch/German border
Great place. We had a large room with a terrace. Beautiful surroundings, especially if you have time for walks. Two drawbacks: room felt slightly damp and we had aconnecting door in the room which created a noise problem. Five minute drive to Vaals center, 15 minute drive to the center of Aachen.

Don't be fooled by the picture!
a large hotel complex on beautiful grounds in beautiful countryside! Large room, comfortable, but no air conditioning. The breakfast is out of this world! Complex has a lovely outdoor patio for evening drinks and light fare, that was quite enjoyable! The rooms are not located in the building shown on the picture, but in a round, fairly modern attached structure. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here:)

Perfect location for a quiet getaway
Ideally located - minutes away from the lovely surrounding cities of Vaals in Holland, and Aachen on the German side - the Kasteel Vaalsbroek is very well maintained by a welcoming and helpful team. The rooms (I booked 2 deluxe doubles and one junior suite) were perfectly clean, and decent in size although one of the doubles was clearly smaller than the other one. Without placing special requests, the hotel located all the rooms close to each other which was also great, as we had outside space to have a smoke together without disturbing other guests by walking around. The only small drawback is not specific to this hotel: in Holland, the provided amenities such as toiletries, bathrobes, slippers etc. are always very limited so make sure to bring your own if you consider them important for your stay. Overall fantastic experience in a good hotel (make sure to take a dip in the pool and to go by the sauna, perfectly clean) that I will definitely recommend!

If you want it quiet, this is the place to be
We stayed for 3 nights here, as were wanted to be close to Aachen, DE. The hotel staff is very friendly, the rooms are good sized and very clean, the restaurant is a bit pricey with limited offerings but relatively good. The only thing that I found wrong is having to go outside to get to the breakfast area, no big deal but during the winter months requires to put on jacket (an extra nuisance . The breakfast buffet is awesome though, The only reason I gave it a low marl for location because there is NOTHING around, nothing to do if you want to stay local.

Kasteel Vaalsbroek
Staff was welcoming and helpful. Rooms were immaculate, but a little cramped with the extra bed added that we had to have. You don't really get to see the inside of the main house, which was disappointing. Meals were all good, but room service menu was limited. Location was very close to Aachen and Maastricht, but out in the countryside so very relaxing. Would stay again.

We liked hotel and its surroundings. Breakfast and generally restaurant is also very good. There is no AC in rooms (at least standard), so it can be quite hot in summer. They have no double beds, only twins.

Hotel auf gutem, jedoch nicht sehr gutem Niveau. Tolle Lage, gute Parkmöglichkeiten. Speisen im Restaurant auf gutem Niveau. Frühstück befriedigend, jedoch mit Abzügen bei den Details: Kein Weichkäse, keine frisch zubereiteten Eier, wenig Früchte. Spa Bereich besteht aus zwei Saunen (davon eine Infrarot) sowie einem Indoor Schwimmbad. Es ist leider kein getrennter Ruheraum verfügbar. Bereich gepflegt, jedoch etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Personal war fast überwiegend sehr freundlich und bemüht. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.

Must see; must go, must experience This beautiful castle which was transformed into a hotel, has all the amenities one could dream of; spacious rooms, amazing view to wake up to; the lake, the swans and the vast green. The staff are super friendly and they are super pet friendly. As for the gastronomy, the breakfast is a big feast; which takes place at the dinner castle. We also tried the Bistro and the famous (IN DE OUDE WATERMOLEN), which served signature dishes from the region. The experience was unique, would recommend for starters; the deer pastrami and for main courses; the entrecôte beef, grilled and the redfishfillet dish. I don’t recommend the cauliflower starter Highly recommend and would do it again. If you are visiting Maastricht, you can stay at this hotel in the quiet oasis if luxury and drive to Maastricht to enjoy an Andre Rieu concert or go to Valkenburg to enjoy wonderful Christmas vibes in this charming town. Great hotel for couples and families. I would rate it 5 out of 5
