I stayed in the green room in the tower, which is designed beautifully with the best view on the outside. I slept wonderfully, I highly recommend staying here also because of the brilliant service provided by the students, both at dinner and at breakfast. The toilet was “open concept”, which may not be the best option if you have date. All in all a romantic, extremely clean and stylish hotel. I will come back!

If you would like to stay in a special kind of hotel, this one is for you! Starting with staff, so sweet and friendly and accommodating! Rooms are designer, some are very, very weird. Some are with bathrooms in surprising places, i wouldn't stay here if you're on an a romantic gateway, usles you are comfortable with each other! Hotel itself is gorgeous! It was still a fantastic stay, bed was comfortable, people amazing. There are bikes for hire(€15per day), perfect for visiting Maastricht.

So I set foot in the exquisite locale of the 13th-century Château Bethlehem, this place definitely adds a touch of prestige to the less charming Maastricht suburb of Limmel, which could use a little boost. Laid-back, yet run by students of hospitality, it promised an exciting cocktail of ancient majesty and youthful energy. Upon arrival, I was instantly impressed by the building and the relaxed ambiance. The park next to it added to the scenic surroundings, making it a delightful place to unwind. Stepping into the courtyard only enhanced the experience. As I sauntered into the courtyard, I felt as though I was in the middle of a historical romance novel... until I was abruptly summoned back to the 21st century by the requirement to order my own drink at the bar. Oh, the horror! As a globe-trotting drink connoisseur, I've grown accustomed to being pampered and served. The whole purpose of a hotel school is to teach hospitality and service, so I expected a bit more in terms of service standards. I've been to hotels all around the world, and while I wasn't anticipating Asian or South American levels of excellence, I hoped for more than just a bar counter experience. Entering the bar, I noticed a group of ladies acting as though the bar was closed and there were no other customers. However, a friendly young gentleman approached me right away and asked what I would like to drink. Not knowing what to expect, I braced myself for the dreaded QR code ordering process, which tends to dampen my relaxation vibes. But to my pleasant surprise, he handed me an actual menu! I ordered a beer and a mojito, gave him a twenty, and told him he could make the total 15 instead of 12 or 13 euros. He smiled, and I asked if I could enjoy my drinks in the open courtyard since it was a hot evening. They closed at 23:00, with the last call at 22:30. The friendly young man brought me my beer and then apologized, saying they only accepted cards, not cash. I chuckled, took a sip of my beer, and said, "I apologize, no can do." He looked a bit shocked but maintained his professionalism and said, "Oh, okay, let me get change." I suppose we both learned something that day. After a few minutes of him scrambling to find change, he handed me back 5 euros in coins. I told him he could keep two, and he smiled before going about his business. I wished him a pleasant evening, feeling content with the outcome. But alas, peace is often fleeting. As I was enjoying my drinks under the stars, a rogue student seemingly fresh off her shift shattered the tranquility with a hearty shout to her friend across the courtyard. I cringed inwardly as the echoes of her holler bounced off the ancient stones. I shrugged it off as youthful enthusiasm until another gentleman decided to amplify the decibels with a resounding belch leaving his shift, quite the memorable exit. Ah, student life! The evening had its ups and downs, and it was quite a unique blend of regal surroundings and student shenanigans. I might brave the restaurant next time with a dash of apprehension, but I doubt I'll be booking a room any time soon. If you decide to give it a go, expect the unexpected, but most importantly - bring a card, not cash!

A different experience....run by 1st year students who have not yet developed the cynical attitude you often encounter. Happy, smiling hosts. Slightly quirky rooms but very comfortable bed and stunning building. Highly recommend
