Guests consistently praise Hoogenweerth Castle for its magical ambiance, beautiful grounds, and exceptional service, particularly for weddings.

Some minor functional issues in specific rooms have been noted, but overall, the experience is highly recommended for its charm and attention to detail.
"This is our very favorite place to stay in Maastricht! We love the suite with shower in the carriage house. It’s always extremely clean. Has a separate toilet room. Large shower. Sitting area with small couch and table for two where you can eat your breakfast. The bed is super comfortable and the room is very sound-proofed. The mini bar includes chocolate, chips, coffee/tea and lots of complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic cold drinks. We always enjoy the delicious picnic basket breakfast that they bring to your room— more than two people can eat! The castle/hotel grounds are beautiful with areas to walk and trails nearby for walks/runs. Highly recommended!"

"One of my daughters chose this location for her wedding.
This location and more importantly the team is awesome. I'm not giving top ratings easily. They deserve it!
They are professionals. They take everything out of your hands. They pay exceptional attention to detail. They make everyone feel comfortable while working diligently in the background.
I highly recommend Kasteel de Hoogenweerth with its wonderful team for weddings. They make the magic happen!"

"So to start with, we enjoyed our stay.. but, it was mostly a big laugh. Stayed in the Eve room next to the reception. Initially looks nice but it misses all basic functionality. There's basically no way to shower, there's a bath in the room, if you stand there you splash everything wet in the whole room. Sitting is virtually impossible to shower. Sink does basically leak water into all directions, again wetting the floor. TV is so low you can hardly see half the screen being in the bed. Lights lacking, making a lot of dark corners, or you have to open all the curtains and then everyone can watch into your room, especially since next to the reception. Staff being very friendly if you can find them. It seemed one lovely young girl had to do everything there. So when not at the reception you have to call them, which then makes the phone ring in the reception after being forwarded to a voicemail which asks to leave a message, after that informing the storage is full so it can't save the message. 😂 Anyway. Had a good laugh and stay, thanks for the service but this room needs attention."
