Hotel en Grand Café De Pauw

This is a vibrant bar/cafe just across the road from the the river and the start point for the rundfahrt (circular tour) so there's a great footfall in people numbers and it's a lovely place to sit and have a coffee or beer, people watch and generally watch the world go by. We enjoyed our Room which was to the rear aspect of the Hotel, it was en suite, clean and tidy. The beds were comfy we had a good nights sleep (all 3) and didn't need the earplugs. Breakfast was a good continental breakfast and we liked being able to sit outside to have it. The best part part of all were the people, Thanks to Max, Leon and Housekeeping who looked after us arranging return Taxi's from Maastricht in the early hours of Sunday morning following a concert. Printing boarding cards for Flights on the same day ,keeping our room a little longer on Sunday and generally making sure we had a good time. Thank you!

So remember this is a 2* and if you want to find fault/area's for improvement you could, there's no Air conditioning (there was a fan in the room) and there is no lift (but the hotel isn't really big enough for one), and we didn't need it. There;s still a smoking culture in Holland and many of the outside tables are taken up with smokers throughout the day and night and if you want a quiet environment (and there were quiet times) this maybe isn't for you, because it does get lively at night.

The hotel is well located for walking into the town. We were there for a gig which was only 10 minutes from the hotel. Nice to have a kettle and fridge in the room. Breakfast had nice bread/rolls and fresh made scrambled eggs.

There is no lift, but we knew to expect that and the stairs were not as steep as hotels in Amsterdam! We opened the window, but there was a smell of cooking oil so we had to keep it closed. The heating took a long time to come on in the evening, when it was quite cold in the room. Bar staff weren't very attentive in the evening, but staff who checked us in during the day were very friendly and helpful.

It was a lovely experience at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast exceptionally tasty and well looked after! The only con was that the room is very noisy. There was a party in the cafe downstairs in the evening, but we were also very welcome! They had warned us about this on arrival and already made their apologies. There were ear plugs in the room!

The only con was that the room is very noisy.

Everything was fine !!😀 Spotlessly clean room! It had a fridge, kettle and tea to drink in the room! 😀Comfortable bed with a good mattress!

The only negative was that to go up to the room we had to pass through the cafeteria!

good price -quality. and very friendly staff :) and I also loved the breakfast! not too little not too much, just good fresh products

the window view wasn’t too nice but it’s ok because we didn’t spend much time in the room

Location is wonderful. Food very,very good and varied. Staff friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed.

Can be a little noisy at weekends but earplugs are supplied. Cigarette smoke is a bit overbearing under the awning.

I liked the location close to city center. The hotel is an older building so you need to count with it.

The starcase was quite steep, so be careful.

They automatically moved us a floor higher since there would be a band playing in the bar. Every bed had a set of ear plugs. Very considerate. Relaxing to sit outside and have a drink

pub atmosphere, nice beers , good food & breakfast location was good also,

steep stairs to climb to the room but i m ok with that,

Breakfast and location are perfect..clean...nice ...very near by the outlet shops

They don't have lift ...so if you are travelling with bags its a big problem with high and very narrow stairs
