Botel Maastricht - Maasboulevard 95

It's a boat. And a hotel. A Botel. Rooms are small but nice. The combination toilet/shower wet room works surprisingly well. The staff (crew?) Is excellent. They are all extremely knowledgeable of the area and its history.

It's not really good. Too pricey for what it offers. Small rooms and small beds. If the price was lower that would be fine but this place can't even get the basics right of running a business. Rooms were not clean and no matter what you pay for a room they should be clean. They also did not even offer any soap in the bathroom so make sure to bring your own. To add insult to injury they will happily charge you regular restaurant prices for reslly bad coffee or other restaurant items. The people who are running this establishment clearly don't have any experience in the hospitality business.

I stayed here in October 2005 just for the experience. All the one-star reviews are valid if you are going for comfort. But just the experience I had in the lobby before I turned in was worth more stars. They had a good selection of beer and I got to watch Dutch TV. Then a group of Romanian Roma (Gypsies) came in and brought their instruments and played the most fantastic music! Very friendly guys. It was an experience I'll never forget. The hotel manager was also very welcoming. If you want an unique hotel experience try it out.

Good place to spend a weekend or a few days. It has clean, small rooms. Also there is a common area where the breakfast (good to start the day) is served in the morning and where you can sit whenever you want to admire the river Maas and the right bank. Wifi available in the hotel but good signal in the common area.

Great location. Good price. Loud rooms, only share a room if you’re willing to hear each other in the bathroom. Surprisingly comfortable beds. Good for a place to crash one night after exploring the city.

At least ask for the rooms in the top “floor”, the rooms under have no windows and looks much worse than the pictures from booking.

We spent a day at the hostel, but it was the worst experience. The person at the reception desk suffered racism several times. I don't even want to think! Because of this hotel, you will never come to Maastricht again. After we confirmed that several people were sitting at the bar around the evening, we asked the staff if they could use the table, but the staff's answer was a spectacle. The answer was that only people from Schengen countries, that is, EU people, can sit at the tables in the bar. So we sat on the outside terrace, but the staff came out and prevented us from even using the terrace because we were not European. Worst experience! We entered the dorm late in the evening and prepared to sleep without saying anything to each other, but the staff knocked on the door and warned us to be quiet. But we swear we didn't say anything. Actually the next room was noisy, it only warned us. We chose this hotel for the first time as a new experience, but this hotel was a “new” with a different meaning. It is not soundproofed at all, so the sound of the next room can be heard as it is. Also, when I heard the sound of the toilet going down, I thought the boat was leaving. The shower room is also only about 1 square meter. Shower supplies are not provided and facilities are not good. Also there is no wifi on the bottom floor. When it rains, the boat shakes, so be careful of motion sickness. The fact that there are people who are racist is a enough reason not to come here. There are many better hotels with similar prices around, so I recommend it.

I stayed about 7 years ago, I loved the place and the owner was the best! I was biking across Europe and ended up having great times drinking with him! I’m hoping to come back soon!
