Bastion Hotel Maastricht Centrum

The stay was poorly managed from start to finish, despite being booked well in advance. At check-in, I was incorrectly asked to pay an additional €150. Although this charge was later withdrawn, being greeted with an unjustified fee is an unacceptable way to start a stay and immediately undermines trust. This should never have happened with a confirmed reservation. The room itself had several issues. The shower drains so poorly that during normal use the entire bathroom floods. A repair was scheduled for 1:00 PM; I adjusted my day to be available, but no one showed up and there was no communication or follow-up. The heating was inconsistent and uncomfortable, especially given the season, and a bedside reading light was broken on arrival. Housekeeping was also unreliable. On the first day, service did not come at all. On the second day, the front desk was informed that we would leave the room around 1:00 PM, yet housekeeping came at 10:00 AM, woke me up, and never returned later, even after we left. I want to be clear that my frustration was not directed at front-line staff. They were polite, and I even shared food with them as a personal gesture. My feedback is strictly about management, preparation, and follow-through. None of these issues alone would have ruined the stay, but the accumulation of errors, missed appointments, and lack of coordination made the experience consistently disappointing.

The room had a seriously broken shower. The drain is so slow that when the shower is used at normal water pressure, the water backs up and floods the entire bathroom. This is a basic plumbing failure that makes normal use of the bathroom impossible. To make matters worse, the hotel scheduled a repair appointment for 1:00 PM. I adjusted my day to be available. No one showed up. There was no communication, no explanation, and no follow-up. Promising a repair and then simply not appearing is unprofessional and shows a lack of respect for guests’ time. This poor maintenance was matched by an equally poor arrival experience. My so-called “welcome gift” was being asked to pay an unnecessary €150 “showing up” fee upon arrival — a charge that was later admitted to be incorrect. Even though it was eventually withdrawn, being confronted with an unjustified fee at check-in is an unacceptable way to start a stay. Overall, this hotel demonstrates weak maintenance standards, unreliable follow-through, and a troubling approach to guest service. Between broken facilities, missed repair appointments, and inappropriate charges at arrival, the experience was consistently disappointing.

Room was rather tired. The sink tap was not in the correct position and the sink plug was sticking and not properly maintained. The glass screen on the shower was sharp and needed a soft edge to mark the position as users could walk into it as it was difficult to see.

Bulb needed replacing, room safe not working

Pleasant, comfortable room. Convenient for tye local music venue, and only a few minutes away there was a good selection of places to eat and drink (until late if wanted), plus a handy local Spar for everyday stuff and good breakfast offerings!

The staff was very friendly, clean room. What we didn't like was the sewer smell thought the room. Almost made you throw up. We asked for another room but nothing was available. Staff came and tried to clean out the drains and turn on the air conditioner. It helped a little, but the smell was in the room. We were not happy.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Slightly confusing breakfast lay out as seemed all on top of patrons.

Great room. Fantastic location not far from center of the city. Helpful and friendly staff.

When arriving there was nobody at the desk, it was about 10 minutes before someone showed, after pressing the bell a few times. Room was ok, bit dark. We asked for extra pillows and they were provided. The bed itself was comfortable. After returning from a day in Maastricht we found the room had not been cleaned, dirty towels not replaced, bed not made and coffee and tea not replenished. We arranged with reception the necessary. Next day we did not want to go out for an evening meal so we thought we would eat in the hotel. After waiting for someone to take an order or hand us the menu I asked at reception if the restaurant was open?? I was told a colleague would be along shortly, we gave it an other 10 minutes or so and decided not to bother and went out into the town for a meal. Poor service from all levels of staff during our stay, will not use this hotel again.

Once arrived at hotel I was informed the room had been cancelled although room was paid in full prior to arrival. Leaving our night stay with sleeping in a van as too late to book in anywhere else. Poor service

Overall stay at Bastion was acceptable but was let down by lack of attention to detail i.e. numerous requests for extra towels and toilet rolls. Also TV did not work and at the end of our stay had still not been resolved ( hotel notified 3 times). No kettle in room and again 3 requests before it was provided.

Nice Stay, Friendly Staff, Bed a bit too soft but that is a personal preference rather than a criticism, would happily stay again

Not worth the price, poor amenities, washed out hotel,

Super location for thé historic centre and staff very friendly, helpful & efficient. We had a decent evening meal too

Decent hotel in a great part of town. Lots of food and drink options nearby.

Everything went well. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Restaurant facilities were very good with good choice of food and excellent quality.

The gotel is advetised as Horel Bastipn Central it is definately not ventral it cost 16 euro for a taxi to the station which is in the centre we yried to check in at 15.00hrs we eventuallly got our room key at 5pm ubacceptable . They charged top rates but gave a terrable service.

Hotel was dirty. Pillows were very poor quality. internet was very weak. Comforter was too short. No coffee, sugar or cream packages in the room. Staff was accommodating. Overall, a poor experience

The staff at this hotel are super nice and welcoming! The rooms were clean and it was just perfect for one night stay. Its also in a great location where everything is walkable and there are buses running all the time. Great place! Would highly recommend for short stays. Room was exactly as pictured as well

They shocked us!! We prepaid through Expedia and i did nt have money with myself but for check out they said we have to pay directly to the hotel and Expedia will free our prepaid!! And we paid for parking in extra!!!!
