Stayed here for the first time last week as we were in Maastricht for an Andre Rieu Christmas concert. It's a 2-star hotel but the welcome is definitely 4 star, and the rooms are very warm and comfortable. We had a tiny bathroom with just a toilet and shower, and the sink was in the bedroom, but all perfectly acceptable, and everything we needed was there, and the buffet breakfast was extensive and delicious. The only thing that let this lovely place down was that on our last night we decided to eat there so pre-booked a table for 7.30, and the mistake we made was to order starters as well as mains. The starters came reasonably quickly but at 9.15 we were still waiting for our mains - and delicious though they were, we really hadn't wanted to eat them that late. Another bizarre thing was that of the five of us, three ordered alcoholic drinks (2 beers, 1 gin & tonic) but the others only wanted tap water so we asked for a carafe of water, which we all shared, and later on asked for another one. When the bill came we found we'd been charged euro 2.60 for each carafe and when one of our party queried this she was told that it would have been free if we'd bought wine. Sorry, but I do not understand the logic of that at all, since 3 of us had had other alcoholic drinks and we had also had meals. In many restaurants water is provided as a matter of course, and it is a definitely a black mark for the De La Bourse that they do not provide this.
