Hotel Beez

Maastricht


Above a latin-vibe cocktail bar, choose this simple 23-room hotel for location rather than comfort: it's right on the edge of the Markt. The hallways and creaky stairs are battered but the rooms have been given a cursory aesthetic makeover and breakfast is included. Kettle is not, and two rooms require occupants to use a toilet across the corridor.
