Editorial
Hotel overview
Set within a 13th-century château, this casual hotel provides a unique blend of historic charm and modern hospitality. Managed by hospitality students from a nearby school, guests experience youthful service in a relaxed atmosphere. The property features a well-regarded restaurant and bar where students hone their culinary skills.
Located about a 15-minute walk from Maastricht Noord train station, it offers easy access to the city's highlights, including the art-filled Bonnefantenmuseum and the iconic Romanesque Basilica of Saint Servatius. Although the building retains its old-world character, rooms are thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind, though some bathrooms feature open layouts that may suit close companions.
Guests appreciate the welcoming courtyard and attentive service, though the absence of elevators means requesting ground floor rooms may be necessary for accessibility. The hotel does not offer air conditioning or a fitness center, but free Wi-Fi and parking provide practical convenience for travelers exploring Maastricht and surroundings.

“Beautiful renovated castle where students from the management school next door work and train. The rooms were nice and also the service. The breakfast was nice The room was designed in a way that the toilet is open on the room so you should be really close to the person you are sharing a room with”
“Excellent place! It is where the students from the hotel management school next door train, and they give a very nice service. The place is clean, in a beautiful setting, and has an amazing restaurant on site where the students are also working. Great value for the area. We also got a room upgrade. The bed was so comfortable and room spacious and nicely designed. We will definitely be back.”
“Had a great time at this hotel! Clean rooms and super friendly students, all for a more than reasonable price.”
