“Not as moderate as it once was...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2011

The atmosphere is certainly different! The tour on the premises was two thumbs up! (Every Saturday at 14h., costs 4,75 or included in hotel- offer) Really entertaining, very interesting!! Also: the dinner we had, no complaints at all! The lounge- bar was cozy, the different kinds of tastings (beer, whisky) a great gesture and the barfood inexpensive. The staff is really pleasant and attentive.

On the downside: the bathroom was small and there were not nearly enough shelves, no closetspace to neatly hang trousers etc. The beds were set on wheels, on a wooden floor, two matresses on top of each other, so the beds kept rolling apart... Roller-blinds did not suffice... please get some proper drapes for the bedrooms!

Breakfast was okay, but maybe scrambled eggs or an omelet would be nice. As for the juice: some proper O.J. would be nice, instead of the orangy lemonade...

Unfortunately they added some drinks on the bill that were included in the hotel-offer, but they removed it as soon as we noticed this mistake. Another drink they had promissed us at the end of the tour, was never provided...

All and all, a nice stay, but don't expect to much of Boxmeer as a town.

“Experience it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2010

We were there with a group of friends two weeks ago (4 couples).
It is on old building and they kept the historic details, beautiful! We had dinner there, very good. Spend the evening in the bar (playing cards), had a pleasant bar tender.

Breakfast was okay, service overall is very good.

“Converted convent with loads of charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2010

Located in central Boxmeer this former convent has been sensitively converted to an hotel full of charm and atmosphere. The rooms are simple and clean and no doubt the nuns would have appreciated the luxury of the modern en-suite facilities. The restaurant is excellent. There is no menu and the chefs prepare what they want for you. Let them know if you have any specific dislikes and then just choose how many courses you want. Recommend you don't go for a bottle of wine - just leave them to match a glass of wine to each dish.The staff were great and I would definitely stay here again.

“Top Dutch Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2007
1
person found this review helpful

We booked in for a two night stay to visit the war grave of my uncle at nearby Venray.

Very interesting building with well fitted rooms. Staff could not do enough for us. Late night barman was particularly good company.

If I have a need to visit that part of Holland again I will be back, or may even visit when the restaurant opens in October.

Many thanks to all the helpful staff.

“Beautiful monestry, close to trainstation! Rooms were just renewed.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2007

This is a really old monestry which has been totally refurbished, maintaining the good things of the past. The rooms were just renovated - very nice atmosphere, modern style, great flatscreens. Bathrobe free of charge.

  • Liked — the atmosphere of the monestry
  • Disliked — no reception at night
