Hotels near Julianapark, Venlo

A group of six of us stayed at the Maashof hotel on what was the last night of a 10 day motorcycle tour and it was also my birthday. I had carefully chosen the hotel in the hope that we would have a lovely stay and dinner in a beautiful lakeside location. Unfortunately there were several issues which cast a significant shadow over my birthday celebrations and ruined our stay. The problems started when checking in when they overcharged two of my friends and they would have overcharged another friend and myself, had I not noticed and intervened. I had booked four single occupancy rooms and one double occupancy room and there was an administrative issue between *********** and the hotel which caused confusion over how many guests were staying in each room, despite the hotel having the names of the six guests against each booked room. All of us were asked when checking in how many guests were staying in each room, but despite this two friends were charged the double occupancy room rate and one friend was charged for two half board dinners despite them all being in rooms on their own. In addition, they also attempted to overcharge us for the half board option despite me accepting a special offer online which had been emailed to me prior to arrival. We then had a further major issue. Three of the rooms were directly underneath the kitchen and hotel entrance and were extremely noisy until very late in the evening and again the next morning starting around 5.30am which meant several of us had a very disturbed night. Two of my friends complained at the time and agreed with the duty manager that they would have the full cost of their room refunded, as he was unable to offer them an alternative room. He advised them that if we had wanted better, quieter rooms we should have booked directly with the hotel rather than through *********** and he told my friend to email the Reservations Manager regarding the refund. The hotel management have admitted that the rooms we stayed in are very noisy, but there was no mention of this when we booked and they still charged the full room rate. On our return to the UK, I emailed the Reservations Manager and following many exchanges she offered a 25% refund for the three rooms most affected by the noise, despite the duty manager’s earlier promise of a full refund. Personally I thought this paltry offer did not provide sufficient remuneration for the problems we encountered but I felt I had no choice but to accept. I subsequently provided my bank details in an email but the refund was not forthcoming. I chased regularly by email as to why the refund was taking so long only to be told cross-border, cross-currency bank transfers take a long time and ”it will arrive within a few days” and then “as soon as possible”. Despite these repeated assurances it took 3 weeks for me to receive the refund and only then after several more emails including to the hotel General Manager who at one point decided to attack my pe

We made this a stopover in our way to the Harz Mountains and it was a total treat - relaxed elegance. Would have liked to have stayed longer to explore the gardens next door and the ceramic museum. Comfortable bed, good breakfast, pretty terrace and picturesque moat. Only downside was they had fully booked the restaurant so we had to go elsewhere but this turned out to be a good move! See our review of Maes21 in Baarlo.

What a lovely place! The room is clean and spacious. Enough storage possibilities. We found the crew very helpful and friendly. The hotel offers a lot of information and discounts for activities around Arcen. Our room was located next to the garden opposite the restaurant. Very confenient :-) We thought it might be noisy but it wasn't at all.

A very distinctive hotel, very close to the outlets and the city, a very good experience

We spent four nights here from Thursday 8th September. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised at how modern the ”New” hotel is. We stayed in the ”Old” one before this upgrade. Reception staff were excellent, and I must commend ”Gina” for her help and friendly professional manner. We found all the staff excellent throughout our visit but she does standout. I hope you enjoyed your holiday Gina. Our room 112 facing the Square was very comfortable with no traffic noise. We did sleep one night with the window open too with no problem, even though the main street runs along under the window. A large bathroom with walk in wet room shower too. Bed large, firm but comfortable and great pillows. Large flatscreen TV, desk, two chairs, coffee machine, Safe and fridge under. Wardrobe space ample too. The only negative for me was no drawer in the bedside cabinets. We ate a couple of nights in the Restaurant, well laid out and comfortable. The food, was a bit pricey but tasty. Two courses were all we could manage though enough for us. Breakfast was ”ordinary” the Continental, adequate, but also busy and food running out sometimes not replenished quickly enough. My personal disappointment was the ”Scrambled Eggs,” which were overdone and rubbery. You could have ”Hard boiled Eggs ” as an option. I am aware what the Dutch like for breakfast as I lived in Roermond for three years , but have had better ”Hot Options.” All in all the Hotel is a good choice next to the Rail and Bus stations but could improve.

The facade of the hotel is not big, and it will be amazing when you enter it. The rooms are large and the decoration is special. They are all controlled by modern technology. The rooms are warm and comfortable. The beds are large. There is a terrace on the 4th floor to see the whole town. You can drink and cool off on it when it’s hot. The breakfast is plentiful. You can walk to the outlets. There are many restaurants to choose from. The supermarket is also very close. It is more convenient. It is recommended to stay in.

Fourth stay for our family here. Very large rooms with small kitchenettes. All very clean and comfortable. Breakfast is main building is good. We didn't use the restaurant, but we had two really nice evening meals at the fantastic Beach Club, just a short stroll away from hotel (reservation required on sunny days). No airconditioning in rooms, but we were in garden suites and they were cool (even with 30+ degree weather). We rented bikes (excellent quality) from the hotel which is highly recommended with all the different cycle routes in the area.

We stayed here for business due to the proximity to our office. The hotel targets football fans with trophies on display and a direct access to stadium tours, floors are named after football players/leagues as well as rooms. My room looked exactly like a football changing room with pictures of Borussia players, it was nice and clean and the view over the stadium was lovely. I didn't like the fact that the bed wasn't made, I had a double bed with 2 single duvets that were left on the side, the shower drainage seemed to be clogged and kept flooding so the water almost reached the interconnecting door, the blinds are not user friendly at all and I had to call down to reception several times (same for my colleagues). Lastly, the TV is placed on the side of the bed making it impossible to watch it whilst in bed. We used their restaurant several times and the service was extremely slow. On the first day it took 40 minutes for a salad and a coca cola whilst the night after we had to wait over 1h for our meals (4 people). We asked if we could watch the Champions League quarters of final match, we were told that this wasn't possible as the match was broadcasted by DAZN and the bar only had a SKY license. This was extremely weird considering that we were in a sport bar inside of a ”sport hotel” surrounded by football screens 24/7. Reception staff was nice and polite.

Wir waren hier mit Freunden um einen Geburtstag in der Nähe zu feiern. Das Hotel liegt in einer industriell genutzten Gegend etwas abgelegen. Es ist deswegen ausgesprochen ruhig in der Gegend. Das Haus ist recht neu und funktionell eingerichtet. Die Zimmer sind recht gross und sauber und die Betten sind bequem. Das Frühstücksangebot war nicht sonderlich reichlich, aber ausreichend. Zum Hotel gehört ein beschrankter Parkplatz für 12 Euro, den benötigt man nicht unbedingt, es gibt in der eher einsamen Gegend auch kostenlose Parkmöglichkeiten. Das Hotel wird mit minimalem Personaleinsatz betrieben, das war kein Nachteil. Alle Mitarbeiter, mit denen wir Kontakt hatten, waren ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für etwas unter 100 Euro haben wir eine sehr gute Übernachtung erhalten.
