    Hallway smelled a bit and the toilet-shower combo was a bit odd, but makes sense for a little hotel on a boat. Heater wasn’t working at first but a staff member was able to quickly fix it when made aware of the issue

    Cute stay for a night or two, nice interior and great view of the Meuse

    The room was a lot smaller than expected, but that wasn’t a huge (😜) problem. For me the noise was an issue. The ship is made of steel and the walls are quite thin, so all movement in other rooms, or anywhere is heard throughout the ship. Therefore a good night’s sleep was not possible for me.

    The staff is very friendly and they really care about the ship and the guest. They served a simple but good breakfast on the deck of the ship in the sunshine. So the day starts great!

    A retro vibe to remind you of small pleasures lost

    • Twin Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The room did not have coat hangers - not a crisis, but I did notice.

    There is something 'retro' about sleeping on a boat, being rocked by occasional waves due to passing boats, and sleeping under a fluffy blanket instead of central heating. Great location for restaurants and the bijou architecture of the old town. Public transport is just one bridge, one plaza, one street and one coffee away! And there is nothing bad about sitting on the deck with a beer that is made across the river either!

    One thing to note is that being a heavy sleeper is essential, as the movements of neighboring travelers can be heard quite clearly, especially during holidays when there are many noisy, drunk passengers around. 👀🙄

    The location of the boat is ideal, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and polite. While our cabin wasn't extravagant (not that we expected Titanic-level luxury!), it was quite clean and provided a unique experience.

    Small room in need of renovation; a double room has in truth just room for one person. Very little storage available, lack of privacy due to lack of insulation from noise and heat, lack of electric plugs, ‘wet shower’ typical of smaller boats. Breakfast expensive for limited quantity and quality but great Cappuccino.

    Great central position Different experience from usual boring hotels Friendly staff. Very good value for money.

    It was fine. I was a bit late and quite tired. Efficient check in and off to bed.

    It was just what I expected. Clean efficient and exactly as adverised. You could say that the rooms are too small, but I thought that was the point.

    A novel but good-value place to stay in Maastricht

    Obviously this is a boat and you're renting a cabin, but the rooms are accordingly small. I also didn't rate the shelf toilets!

    The only hotel on the River Meuse in Maastricht, so it's a novelty of a place to stay. The price was very good considering that, and I was upgraded from a single to a double en-suite cabin so there was a bit more room. The station and the centre of Maastricht with shops and restaurants are nearby.

    Property photos don't reflect how tiny the accommodation is. Has a tiny bathroom with a tiny sink with the shower head literally on top of the WC, so everything is wet. The only wall outlet is badly placed. Insulation doesn't exist.

    Good location. Unusual setting. Clean linen. Affordable pricing. Rooms heating. Recently refurbished/painted. Cozy creaky sounds from the waves.

    Friendly, quirky and fun, but a little more hostel than hotel.

    We were expecting small rooms, but was even smaller than the photo (the beds were a bit like bunk beds to fit them in). Our room opened to the deck, the nearest communal toilet was down the deck (which was icy and not treated, so v slippery) but wasn't working, so needed to go off the boat and into the downstairs to get a toilet, which wasn't clear when we booked and a bit chilly at -8 degrees in the middle of the night. I don't want to be too hard, I would stay again, but it felt more like a bunkhouse than a hotel.

    Boat was quirky, great location, the parking was a bit of a walk, but was really easy. The staff were super friendly and the communal bar was lovely.

    The room we stayed did not have a sink and toilet, so we needed to go to downstairs for wash our face, brush our teeth, and wc.

    The botel is located just along the Maas river and it has a nice view from our room (the very front "Captain" room). The bed was very comfortable and we had a good sleep there.

    The bed.

    The boat is cool - I expected the rooms to be small, it is a boat after all… the bed was a little uncomfortable due to the fact there is wood ledge above the mattress I found this uncomfortable- however the boat itself is quite cool. The common area is nice and although the toilets and showers were shared and outside of the room they were clean and surprisingly always available when needed.
