Hotel Schaepkens van St Fijt

Booked 2 rooms for 3 nights and superior twin rooms. Travelled 500 miles. Arrived just before 8pm and found the restaurant (closes at 8pm) was already closed and everything put away so no offer of evening meal. Were given rooms 226 and 227. Both basic rooms, disappointed does not cover it. As well as TV with no volume control, no bin, no kettle so couldn't make a drink. They work a token scheme to buy hot or cold drinks. 20 euro for tokens but works out about 4 euros for a small glass of coke or 9 for a beer. The breakfast was poor choice until Sunday morning when they were fully booked with coach parties, they then put out a full choice of food. Evening meal was okay with fair choice and nice quality but for 115 euros for 3 and expensive drinks you getter better choice down the town. To be honest for the price of 600 euros per room, the cost of drinks and food, I have stayed at much better hotels for much less. The hotel is dated and poorly equipped. Their ideas of Superior Rooms are BASIC at best. I guess for coach parties its okay but if you want a nice break then I wouldn't recommend. And whatever avoid room 227. (right above kitchen - noise and smell)

Hotel nice, room very basic and small, no tea making facilities which for this day and age is very unusual, the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor so we had to put a towel down. Breakfast was lovely, and had everything you could expect to start the day We have an electric car and the hotel has charging points, the lady on reception had absolutely no idea how they worked or if we could charge our car anywhere else. The lady in the TI was nice and pointed us in the right direction, when we got it sorted I told the lady on reception that if anyone else asked about charging where to go. She just rudely said well your the first to ask and walked off. They’re are many other hotels in valkenbourg to choose, but this has the swimming pool and free parking. A 5 min walk into town is easy and the train station is 2 mins away. Would I stay here again…probably not, only because of the choice of hotels in the town.

Pet-friendly Kind and helpful staff, especially Lucas! Good breakfast

Good Location easy access to motorway and walkable to town centre in 5/10 minutes which has some lovely restaurants, Good power shower. Nice outside space and secure gated parking on site. Slow Wi-Fi in our room just 1 bar but maybe different for other rooms. Decor needs update and carpets etc bathroom was ok ish but could do with a thorough clean. Very strange Bar payment system having to collect tokens from reception to pay for any drinks in bags of €20 euro. Drinks 8 euro for half litre beer. Breakfast was buffet mostly cold as the food warmers didn’t give much heat but a few different cold options.

I was on a business trip but this is obviously a hotel for old retired tourists. There was live music very loud in the garden that I could hear in my room with windows closed. Impossible to work or sleep.
