Kaboom Hotel

Maastricht


Billing itself as 'a touch rebellious', this stylishly contemporary, gently irreverent hotel wraps its 78 rooms around a two-level boardwalk yard with plenty of lounging space. It's surprisingly peaceful despite the station-facing location, above an Asian restaurant and barista coffee house.

Decor quirks include pasted instructions on the repeating motif walls and lamps that look like beach-cushions. Prices can vary as much as 300% according to demand. The same minichain has three other similarly stylish hotels in town.
