Reviews of Kasteel Schaloen 3 stars

Lovely appartment in converted court yard of 16th Centuary castle in a beautiful picturesque setting. There's a small village not far away. We only stayed one night on our way back to the UK. Beds were comfy. Good value for money. We didn't go for the breakfast option.

Nothing.

Beautiful location, charming views on the castle and surrounding nature. Very nice garden/terrace. Oasis of peace. And this all just +/- 15 min walk from the centre of Valkenburg (4-5 min by car). The living room was small, but felt cosy and was ok for family of 3. Good coffee and every day fresh pie 🥧 at the brasserie.

The standard room had only very basic facilities and the quality and cleanliness of beds/ mattrass was not too good 😑 unfortunately.

Unexpectedly, it was awesome to stay there. 1 night was too short. At least 3 nights, 4 days recommendable. The location is very close to Valkenberg and Maastricht. Outdoor activities and touring nearby with car or bike. I'd like to make another trip to go there and stay there as long as possible.

WC was one.

Location

Bathroom in the comfort apartments was downstairs from the bedrooms which meant going to the bathroom down a spiral stairway at night treacherous for people with mobility issues.

Lovely location. 10 mins by bike from town.

Steep stairs, toilets downstairs

The sheets and towels were not included in the stay but could be rented for a price which was explained when booking.

The atmosphere and lovely walk through the woods to the town. Good breakfast

The room was not fully cleaned when arrived

Great location but a very basic room. Expensive for what you get. Liked the little garden

Old and in need of modernisation

location is great, historical castle surrounded by nature

beds were very uncomfortable

Great location, with possibilities for walking or enjoying village life. Beautiful little apartments in historic building. Kitchen seemed quite complete, tv available, outdoor seating (which may be used also by others in other apartments)

- Note that the room does not come with bed linen, towels or, for example, tiny soap to wash your hands. As we were there for one night only, we hadn't realized we should have brought those things - The shower is in the bath, but the glass shower door is very small/short, so bathroom floor and everything does get very wet (one of those typical holiday houses annoyances ;-))

Great location, walking distance from the centre. Staff are very helpful and nice. The Brasserie is great. The appartment is very quiet, beds are good

Feels a little dark and it is slightly dated. Still comfortable though

Very nice environment. Nice view from the window. The restaurant on the premises has good food. Has a couch, TV, bathroom, and 2 simple (small) rooms, outside you can sit on a bench and enjoy the view.

A handsoap in the bathroom would have been nice. The stairs are a bit steep and make a lot of noise. No toilet upstairs.

The location was incredible

The rooms were not very clean and the breakfast was basic (below expectations)

The castle itself is beautiful, of course could use some restoration but maybe that's just my professional eye. But keep in mind the hotel is next to it, but you as a tourist aren't allowed to go to the castle because in theory the way to it is blocked..of course I saw some people there but I'm not going to break rules.

At the beginning I was angry with myself that I didn't take the premium house, but after I saw the standard one cleaning situation, which I guess would be the same I realised I avoided paying even more for so little. To understand, when I returned from there after 4 days my skin was full of acne and is not a normal thing for me, not to mention I don't have water sensibilities and I was coming from Randstad not another country. The bed sheets I received, to put myself.... horror, yellowish, I did my best to select from two pillow covers the less affected one. Dust was everywhere and I can't tell you what was behind the bed frame unfortunately my pillow fell there during the last night and I didn't use it anymore so the last night I slept without one, I can't even imagine my face if I would have used it. The stuff...no talent with hospitality, ok I understand the clique of being Dutch and cold but come on you are in the hospitality business. When I arrived I waited 10 minutes for the lady to stop talking with a couple at a restaurant table and came to ask me if she could help me as I evidently had luggage with me, and don't imagine she was somewhere in another room she was 3 m next to me , ignoring my presence. The second bad experience was actually one morning, 2 days before I left, after which I honestly wanted to leave directly on the spot. First another tourist was looking in my house on the back window of the building. The view was of the living room, I could have been in my underwear, fortunately not, strange thing 10 minutes later I was exiting my vacation house to go for a walk and the same individual was in a discussion with the "gentleman" who was also doing the cooking in the restaurant...call it coincidence but I was a solo traveling foreign woman so please allow me to ask myself questions.

Very nice location and great surroundings. The location is next to a nice castle and some fields/forest. It was fairly easy to find. The location is walkable to Valkenburg (about 30 min) where you can find plenty of restaurants and bars.

The place looked outdated, and what I really did not like was that when we entered, we smelled gas. The stove was on and we had to ventilate the whole house. Very dangerous! For the price of the stay, they could provide some toiletries or even two bags of tea...

Location

Value for money
