Geulzicht Hotel

This wasn’t the hotel we thought we were booking a room at online, but we are happy we did. This certainly is not the romantic castle the TripAdvisor shows you. This is a quaint mid-century hotel along a romantic stream. In the room you will find a small book written by the owner of his various trials and tribulations refurbishing and getting the hotel into service. His story telling is highly entertaining. The room was small but functional, overlooking the stream that runs alongside the property. In decent weather there is a couple of outdoor areas where you can enjoy a fire in the fire pit, share a drink, or just enjoy relaxing by the stream. The Italian restaurant just 50m away is closed on Tuesday so we drove into the village and enjoyed dinner at one of the local brasseries. After that we returned to the hotel and joined some of the other guests in the bar/breakfast room and socialized with each other while sipping wine or beer. A young lady, who I think was also a guest, played the piano for a while. Another couple played checkers while we spent most of our time talking with the evenings host. This is what we really enjoy most out of travelling. Meeting new people and having an enjoyable conversation. There is a TV in the common room but not the guest rooms. And I think that is a ‘Good thing’. Yeah, we enjoyed the stay.

Wat een pareltje is dit hotel en restaurant! Authentiek kleinschalig hotel op een mooie locatie langs de Geul. Heerlijk geslapen in mooie schone kamer. Beetje gehorig, maar zeker niet storend. Het allerbeste was het restaurant. Interessante gerechten en smaken, bovengemiddeld goed. De jonge kok komt zelf het eten uitserveren en toelichten. Hulde, hulde. Wij komen zeker een keer terug en raden het iedereen aan.

Goed gelegen hotel op wandelafstand van Valkenburg. Tot aan het centrum van Valkenburg doe je er 2,5km over langs een zeer mooi wandelpad langs de rivier de Geul. De kamer en badkamer zijn basic maar heeft wel een goed bed. Het restaurant s'avonds is zeker de moeite waard, voor het lekkere culinaire eten alleen zou je al tot hier komen!
