Hotel literally next to the trainstation. But no worries: in 2018 reopend and therefore no noice of the trains as long as you use the airco and keep the windows closed. It is in the center of Roermond. And one can park the car below the hotel (if available) at no costs. We had bikes with us (as many guests had) and could park them in a special bike area. This had an extra lock on the door, so only the guests with bikes could enter this area. Really lovely. Also good beds and clean room and a modern bathroom. The breakfast is good and a lot of choice; fruits, yoghurt, various breads, a toaster, cheese, meat and sweet stuff to go with your bread and eggs, good coffee and pancakes. Fresh juice which you could make yourself. I probably forget something.... but one thing I know for sure: everyone could take what he/she wanted. On the other side of the rather busy road one could take a drink in one of the cafés. The walking area to the shops started there too. To go to the Designer Outlet takes a moderate person 15-20 minutes. To the river Roer 15 minutes and several markets 5-10 minutes. The only lesser thing which I can think of is that the smokers did go the terras in front of the hotel. Because they were allowed to smoke there. For people like me the place becomes a no go area then. All 8 tables around the place where we sat, did smoke. Sometimes 3 or 4 people at one table. It bothered me a lot, because although I don’t smoke, I had to smoke. My advise to the management: make an area for the smokers and separate it from the non smokers. Or tell people to smoke somewhere else.
This was the dirtiest hotel that I have stayed in for a long time. The room was spacious, not overlooking the water as booked. The carpet was covered in old coffee stains. The manageress advised me, when I complained, that the hotel was very short of funds and therefore had no money for cleaning carpets and other furnishings. ( this made me question whether she was a manageress as it’s not the sort of conversation to have with guests) we stayed as we had unpacked but consequently did not eat in the hotel as we were unsure of the cleanliness in the main building. The hotel presents itself as a luxury stay, however, the basics are not taken care of. Checking out receptionist was horrified that we had such a reception at the check in.
