Garner Hotel Maastricht by IHG
Out of town location. Can be a good value but not when you’re paying TEFAF art fair prices.

INNSiDE by Meliá Aachen
Good location, very special rooftop bar/restaurant. The gym is a bit of a joke, might as well not have one.

Dorint Hotel Düren
Very cold room, wouldn’t warm up. They forgot a drink on room service and when we checked out they could not give an itemised bill to see if we had been charged for it. Bathroom was not very private. Food good and bed comfortable but not clean, we brought our own sheet though.

Crowne Plaza Maastricht by IHG
I loved the position of the hotel with breakfast by the riverside and the restaurants, wine shops and galleries of Rechtstraat on your doorstep. 11 minutes walk to the station and right by the footbridge to take you over to the beautiful old town
