La Bergere Hotel, Maastricht

Advantages: Beautiful city, everything at walking distance
Disadvantages: maybe the weather??

...one of the local beers since there are plenty. Ridder, Brand, Leeuw, Gulpener, Alfa or otherwise one of the very tasty Belgium beers. If you ask for a sjoes (pronounce like shoes), you will get normal beer with a little bit of the heavier dark beer tipped in it. It gives the beer a slightly sweeter taste, yum. Where do I stay???? Just outside the city there are big luxury hotels like Novotel or Van der Valk with rooms between 70 and 200 GBP. If you want a bit less luxury hotel in the downtown area you can book a room in the two star hotel La Colombe (43-100 GBP) or the three star Quartier Bassin (75-275 GBP).

.... There are beaches within an hour's drive and some very pretty/towns villages on the way. The hotel is near the main Rome-Naples highway (non-motorway). Overall, I would describe La Pace as adequate - certainly not the best hotel for the money, but nowhere near the worst!... Read review
