Rooms
Botel Maastricht provides a unique stay with its charming boat accommodations, though the rooms might not be for everyone. Reviews indicate that the rooms are incredibly small, often described as tiny cabins with limited comfort and very basic amenities. While this compactness is expected on a boat, some guests found them to be more like cubicles than traditional hotel rooms. Despite the size, many reviewers noted that the cabins are functional, clean and simply furnished. The soundproofing is generally good, ensuring a quiet night’s sleep, though the same cannot be said about the noise levels from the common areas.

The bathrooms, often integrated into the small rooms, can be quite cramped with some issues regarding cleanliness and maintenance. The facilities are basic and might not match the promotional photos seen online. However, the rooms do come with clean linen and essentials like heating, though air conditioning is not always available, leading to stuffiness.

Public areas such as the terrace and bar receive positive feedback for being cozy and offering nice views, adding to the boat's charm. The common areas are tidy, providing a pleasant space for socializing or relaxing. Guests appreciated the friendly staff and found the overall ambiance to be charmingly retro and enjoyable.

In summary, Botel Maastricht is ideal for those seeking a quirky and budget-friendly experience, appreciating the novelty of staying on a boat and willing to sacrifice space and luxury for the unique location and atmosphere.

Beds
Guest reviews of the 'Botel Maastricht' reveal mixed experiences regarding the beds. While many guests found the beds clean and some described them as comfortable with good mattresses that supported their backs, others highlighted several concerns. The beds were often noted to be narrow, short and not ideal for taller individuals. The double beds were frequently considered too tight for two people and compared in size to a single bed.

Bunk beds were a common feature with several guests pointing out the absence of a ladder, making access difficult and sometimes unsafe. Some reviews mentioned that the mattress quality varied greatly with reports of thin or overly soft and others describing firm mattresses. A few guests also experienced discomfort due to hard or slanted beds with some finding the beds too warm at night due to high heating.

In summary, while there were positive remarks about bed comfort and cleanliness, the prevalent issues of bed size, stability of bunk beds and mattress quality were consistently noted.

Despite the rooms being noted as small and sometimes cramped, their cleanliness offsets some of these spatial limitations.

The accommodation excels in maintaining a clean and appealing environment with daily cleaning routines ensuring a high standard of hygiene. Clean bedding and comfortable beds further enhance the stay for guests. Polite reception and the cleanliness of the deck, which is tended to even early in the morning, are noted as additional positives.

However, a few reviews mention areas for improvement, such as the cleanliness of the shared showers and some rooms. Occasional issues with moldy smells, bugs and noise were reported, as well as the need for better maintenance in certain areas.
