Reviews Summary

"Clean, bright and huge space. Very close to downtown Maastricht"
Frank Lorra
"On a busy day, the signage incorrectly states there are places free. Result: 1.5€ to get stuck in a traffic jam in a parking garage. Waste of time and money. No one present, so good luck getting a refund. Avoid."
Alexander Vrijhof
"Nice and convenient.
Very narrow passage for bigger or expensive cars. Careful!"
