Anonymous OVER OVER priced and unfulfilled expectations!

30 August 2010

5.0

+ After a slight warming up period and some gentle persistance on problem-solving on our part, the desk clerk warmed up and tried to be helpful. Unfortunately, nothing could be done about the room in a different location NOR the lack of connectivity.

- VERY overpriced at 200 euros/night. We expected a standard triple room and were put in a nearby apartment, on a side street, in front of a coffee shop and next to a bong shop. Though it was a nice, large apartment, it was NOT in the hotel and had no coffee/tea available and NO wireless internet, as had been promised. The ethernet did not work. 4 narrow, circulalr flights of stairs to climb.

+ Good location. Bathroom renovations lovely.

- Actually a small hotel, not a true B & B for me. Don't speak Dutch, so in-room reading not helpful. I would have appreciated a small breakfast, included in price. When I booked, room was listed at one price--response said that was no longer available-- is that a gimmick?

+ Really nice rooms, all fine.

- One thing about the service only: no wifi / internet possible they said (website said internet, that was one of the things we selected!). And the neighborhood was vague. Didn't matter so much, but was for sure (hangouts, lots of police, camera's etc.

Anonymous Awesome location - but a lot of stairs

+ This hotel is extremely well located - very close to the centre of the city

- For guests with a lot of luggage - there is no lift, and 4 flights of stairs to climb. Even though there was a very modern, large TV, there was a problem with the cable and so poor viewing quality.

+ fantastico l'appartamento allo stesso prezzo della camera, pulitissimo e ben arredato, stereo compreso.

- unico punto a sfavore le scale a chiocciola, minuscole. portare su la valigia potrebbe essere complicato, meglio viaggiare leggeri!

+ Near City centre

- Opposite coffee shop Appartment suitable only for single person not double as advertised. Marble floor lookes good but very cold on bare feet in the morning so a carpet would be better Value at €60 but not more

+ Very good service at reception and in dining room. Nice, tasteful room with view on Maas. Lovely dining room. Nice snacks available.

- No closet in room, only two coat hangers on hooks. No elevator. Brunch somewhat pricey until one knows it includes champagne. Room very clean upon arrival. Cleaning overnight a bit too perfunctory.

+ I really enjoyed my stay in the hotel. my husband and I stayed for one night in the newest decorated rooms and they were very charming and classy. great location. Seeing as my husbamd had crutches with him and was still recovering after a knee surgery, the receptionist recommended a good room on the ground floor and which had an easy acess to the shower. Very good service and great location.

- It was still some finishing touches on the room that could have been done properly, like missing lightbolbs, no remote control for the tv, dust in the corners of the room, missing drawers from the desk. It all gave us an impression that it looked superficially nice. But in fact there were many "little" things that should have been sorted better. Very cold room as weel. Facing the street. Not very good insolation. - toilet /bathroom was built in a box so it gave an impression of being in an "out-house".

Trudy Butter Ok, but not very satisfactory

+ It is a very old and quaint hotel. Some improvement could be done, since I did not feel very comfortable upon entering the building. I felt rather unsafe. The room itself was ok, bathroom also. Within pricerange I would say it was alright.

- Not a safe evironment and the whole building did not look very appealing to me. I was rather glad to be out of there.

+ Great location in the city.

- - No microwave and clothes drier as promised in the advertisement. - When we check in (at 7.30 pm), the receptionist didn't inform us that the lift to the apartment is broken. We had to carry big luggage through very steep stairs for 2 floors in the dark as there is no light in the corridor. Our downstairs neighbour said that they had complained about the lift for 10 days and was always promised the lift would be fixed the day after, but it never happened. - It's a studio with separate sleeping area (with no door), not a 1 bedroom apartment.

Terre Topp Hotel Bigarré Maastricht - Good & Bad

7.2

+ Location, style of hotel & rooms, very big living room and kitchen, nice bathroom

- Cleanliness - although this was remedied quickly; washer/dryer was hard to figure out as it is very different than an American W/D. Also, the smell of the bay sometimes was very pungent. Evenings could be noisy.

+ Convenient location near city centre

- Dust everywere and many spiderewebs in the room, including on nightable lamps. Bad smell from rotting material in a water gutter running just under room window. Room terribly hot and air unbreathable on arrival. Had to keep window open overnight to refresh. Parking too expensive for poor conditions of parking lot (discarded construction material hindered car manouvres)

+ The location was great.

- The hotel had advertised newly renovated rooms...which apparently they had, just not for use! We were in one of the oldest, dirtiest, most uncomfortable hotel rooms we have ever stayed in. If it had been for more than one night and we hadn't just traveled 12 hours with an infant, we would have changed hotels. It was awful. Truly awful.

+ The personal was very friendly. The room was big enough and it was silent. The beds were comfort.

- The toilet was not cleaned every day. The air freshner in toilet smells a lot. There should be a mosquito net in the window, since when you wish to sleep window open mosqutios fly in and bite you during the night.

+ The staff were very helpful, the breakfast was of high quality and served in pleasant surroundings. The TV reception was good, the beds were very comfortable, and the bath and shower were well appointed and worked perfectly.

- There was no plug in the bathroom basin, and it was not replaced when I requested one; the bathroom was not cleaned at all on that day also.

+ close to town, right by bus stop, fluffy, comfortable blanket. people were very friendly and helpful. our bed was not always made / fresh towels...but we left late some mornings, so maybe that is our fault. overall, good hotel, good experience, it was cozy, and thank god our heater worked really well--its cold here!

- the two beds didn't stay together, so we were always waking up in a space between the mattresses; the shower spray-thing was broken, so it was always falling off. we ended up paying a lot more than we had wanted to. i dont think it was really worth 100-euro-or-so per night cost. (beware the maastricht tourist tax!)

- * kamer wordt tussentijds niet verschoond, maar gelet de scherpe prijs is dat te bergijpen

+ Helpful and friendly reception staff. Hotel internally quiet. Very conveniently located for the old town. Pleasant floral arrangements in the entrance/dining room. Overall, making the best of a small building.

- Although the room was an adequate size, the bed was a little too short (even though I am only 5'8"). Access to the shower was awkward.

+ We saw photos on line the apartment looked adaquit. When we checked in we were very pleased the accomadations were more than we excepted. The location was perfect, near food shopping and the market square. Maastricht is a great city!

- The apartment could have been a little less dusty but that is a very minor point. Overall we would give Hotel Bigarre a 9

+ Great location, helpful staff, good breakfast. I'd stay there again.

- Strong smell of air freshener, obviously masking something even worse. Decoration and furnishing looked a little tired, but the bed was clean & comfortable & everything worked. Noisy road outside the hotel. Ask for a room at the back of the hotel if you're a light sleeper.

- Room smelled bad and was not cleaned properly. Cigarette holes in the curtains. Holes in the sheets. Located next to a big crossroads: noisy. Neighbourhood with sex & coffee shops, probably not the safest area of town.

+ A very good location which suited my needs excellently. the staff were very friendly and helpful beyond that one usually gets. the room suited my needs and I was content to stay there.

- The security/fire hinges on the doors were the noisest i have expereinced anywhere in the world in 40 years of travel. i understand fully their need but something quiter and less nosiy on contact would make guests not be woken up late at night or early in the morning.

+ Very pleasant staff at the hotel.

- The Internet was not working when we stayed, which was important to me as I needed to email things to work while I was away. The hotel did explain in the end that they had trouble that week with their Internet service, but I was very disappointed as it was a crucial reason why I had booked that accommodation.
