We celebrated our anniversary at the hotel. Stella surprised us with hearts and 33 on the bed. We stayed in the library room. The bed was comfortable. The courtyard and the breakfast was nice. Wonderful service with youthful energy. We will definitely stay there again. The do not have elevators, but guests can request ground floor rooms.

Beautiful renovated castle where students from the management school next door work and train. The rooms were nice and also the service. The breakfast was nice ? The room was designed in a way that the toilet is open on the room so you should be really close to the person you are sharing a room with

Excellent place! It is where the students from the hotel management school next door train, and they give a very nice service. The place is clean, in a beautiful setting, and has an amazing restaurant on site where the students are also working. Great value for the area. We also got a room upgrade. The bed was so comfortable and room spacious and nicely designed. We will definitely be back.

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.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
