Maastricht hotellia

Plussat: Perfect location for both city and nature. You walk into town in minutes and you walk or run up the Saint Pietersberg in minutes. The latter is absolutely worth it, especially after a "vlaai" or two, and for the view over the Maas and Belgium. Room was excellent, so nicely decorated... loved the atmosphere!

Plussat: It was very charming and friendly. The breakfast was great!

Miinukset: As we are of the older generation we would have liked to be on the ground floor. Our suitcases were very heavy to get them up to room 9.

Plussat: The room was big, super cozy and stylish. Nice breakfast as well.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, great location and very clean and nicely decorated rooms. Breakfast was delicious, freshly prepared on spot. We travelled by car and found it very easy to park in the neighbourhood of the hotel.

Plussat: Mukavasti sisustettu persoonallinen hotelli rauhallisessa ympäristössä, lyhyt matka keskustaan. Tilava hotellihuone. Herkullinen aamiainen, ravintolapalveluja samasta korttelista.

Miinukset: Loma meni hienosti, vaikkei tämän ikäisessä talossa ole ilmastointia, ja ylös johtavat kapeat portaat.

Plussat: The owners were truly excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, even when we needed earlier breakfasts at the weekend. The breakfasts were very good with great choices and quality. The bed was comfortable, not often something I can say about many hotels! The location was very good being only a 10 minute walk to the centre of the city. It was quiet close to good parking.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very well located in a quiet residencial area close to the city center. Very nice people running the place.

Plussat: Super friendly staff, amazing location, comfortable beds and large room (room 7 for 3 ppl).

Miinukset: The guests above us came in at 2am making lots of noise and shouting. It was quite scary for our young daughter, so I would not recommend it for families. There was no overnight concierge, so being in an unknown city with this going on in the middle of the night was unsettling.

Plussat: outsyanding staff more than accomodating, room was awesome, very clean, enjoyed the quaintness of the era. Highly recomended

Miinukset: not finding any faults but if you are into lift the stairs are awesome

Plussat: Location was excellent. Staff couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming :) Beautiful rooms, spotlessly clean. Lovely breakfast.

Miinukset: Could have been improved by having air conditioning.

Plussat: great location and staff very helpful, really enjoyed our stay and will be back at some stage.

Plussat: Lovely character in the building. Great town centre location. Very friendly host. Parking is a few minutes walk, so drop off luggage. Didn't worry me as the town is great to walk in.

Plussat: The room was simply incredible: huge, with 3 enormous windows and full of comforts. At breakfast we were delighted by a tasty home-made chocolate cake and other delicious food. The staff was extremely friendly and available to help. The position is absolutely central in a particularly nice, historic neighborhood

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was excellent

Plussat: Location of the hotel is just perfect. Large room, very clean and nicely decorated. Quite and relax. Nice people. Don't expect conventional hotel reception, it's different but real cool.

Miinukset: Parking around is really not easy. The pay parkings are a bit far and in all the streets around you need to pay (don't miss it for a minut you get a penalty right away!!). No lift to uper floors.

Plussat: The room size was fantastic (front facing, 3rd floor), really spacious, nice bath room & a terrific location; the oldest quarter of Maastricht yet within easy walking distance of the city center, plenty of restaurants & cafes near by

Miinukset: The stairs up were a bit steep & narrow, but we already knew this in advance

Plussat: Our room was very spacious and tastefully furnished and decorated. Excellent location in a quiet street, very near the centre of Maastricht. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Miinukset: Lugging our suitcases up all the stairs (our room was on the 4th floor) because there is no lift.

Plussat: Lovely hotel in a wonderful and central location. Very spacious room and a good buffet breakfast.

Plussat: Excellent location in the heart of Maastricht with its cobblestone streets, Roman walls and old buildings - and right near great shopping and cafes! A car is not needed here. The hotel is simple but full of old world charm. Great value for money - a lovely old building, clean rooms, and comfortable beds.

Miinukset: I have no complaints for the value price we paid for the room (on a weekday) - except that a kettle with tea and coffee sachets would have been nice in the morning ;-)

Plussat: Huge room with modern conveniences in lovely old building in the middle of the historic city.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The charm of the hotel, the combination of the gallery and hotel. Beautiful breakfast chapel, very comfortable rooms, agreeable host. Great location as well.

Miinukset: During the night there was a noise outside (we assume an airco of the neighbours). It was really loud so we did not have a good night of sleep. A bit unfortunate for the hotel because it was clearly something in the neighbourhood.

Plussat: located very close to the center

Miinukset:

Plussat: characteristic spot; good service

Miinukset:

Plussat: It was right in the center

Miinukset: The room itself, old furniture, outdated, etc.

Plussat: Excellent and playful design, spacious loft, friendly and professional service

Miinukset: Noisy during the night, the gym was closed due to construction work, it felt a bit overpriced

Plussat: Nice hotel, just ten minutes far from the city center (walking). There's a good restaurant just in front and a big parking area called Sphynx in the back. The staff is extremely friendly, they have a smile for everybody. Rooms are simple but cosy, with tea, coffee and water available for free.

Miinukset: Under the bed the floor (carpet) was really full of dust. Smell of smoke in the room. Even the corridor didn't smell good, I like when rooms and common areas are perfumed, but in this case there was a smell of smoke and dust.

Plussat: Cool atmosphere

Miinukset: Noisy neighbours the 1 evening

Plussat: Every thing

Miinukset: Price a little high

Plussat: The idea of transforming a former Sfinx factory into a hotel is just great. It all looked modern and friendly. The room was clean and met our expectations. The staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was good, coffee was good! It felt good to be amongst many young international students. We will certainly book this hotel again!

Miinukset: It would be nice to have a separate small magnifying mirror in the bathroom!

Miinukset: Internet pätki Huono kanava valikko tv:ssä

Plussat: Friendly staff, great location and a lovely room with a great shower.

Plussat: Very friendly staff and really beautiful rooms. Very comfortable and great location.

Plussat: The exterior is classic, old, but the interior is clean, contemporary while still respecting the classic atmosphere. The room was spacious, bathroom and bed felt and looked clean. The view on the market place is great and the staff very kind. Must be one of the first times I got nothing to complain about.

Miinukset: The TV is far from the bed making it hard to see.

Plussat: Location coffee breakfast

Miinukset: Cleanliness very poor. Be weary of the bill keep a note on what you have. Over charged by allot. Other room charges on account.

Plussat: The location is perfect! And the staff is very nice!

Plussat: But great location

Miinukset: Rooms not comfortable. Old apartment. Not looks like 4 stars. Reception works till 16:00

Plussat: Good location, friendly staff, nice breakfast. Great view. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Nowhere to put towels in the bathroom. Safe not properly mounted to the wall/cupboard. Paint starting to fall off the wall in the bathroom.

Plussat: Fantastic little hotel right on the central square and seconds from excellent restaurants and bars. The building comprises an historical part and a cleverly included modern expansion behind that. Rooms are modern, large, spotlessly clean and have excellent bedding and a great bathroom. Staff are great and really welcoming. Breakfast is served in the front of the hotel and can be taken inside or outside on a terrace. This is a very comfortable hotel to stay in - definitely stay here.

Miinukset: There is nothing I didn't like . Just for reference, access to the reception is quirky, needing to pass through the front terrace bar area but that is not a problem - just a little extra character

Plussat: The Britannique Hotel is at the hub in the centre of Maastricht so for location it doesn’t get any better. For comfort, cleanliness and facilities it is perfect. But now for the good bit ...the staff and particularly the owners are what you always dream of but in reality seldom get, well, here’s the surprise! Kiona and Tim are the master of customer care. In their relatively short period of ownership they have transformed The Britannique into a stylish modern hotel/restaurant which is attracting the more discerning customer. The rooms have all been completely remodelled in the art nouveau style with contemporary furnishing. Outstanding marble bathroom with generous rain shower cubicle. Regardless of the weather the hotel has a comfortable heated front terrace, perfect for taking refreshments and ‘people watching ‘ A most enjoyable and memorable stay in Maastricht and we most certainly will return.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and really made you feel comfortable. Even though this can be a busy establishment they always find time to make the service personal, on time and spot on.The room was very comfortable and felt luxurious. Definitely one of the nicer ones I stayed in. Everything I needed was there. It was very clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable for a wonderful night's rest. Tim and Kyona were terrific hosts and I'm looking forward staying there again once in Maastricht. Top of my list!

Miinukset: There was literally nothing to dislike!

Plussat: Every thing was up to expectation

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location and room was top notch. Brasserie below convenient with house made traditional beef stew. Owners caring and hospitable.

Miinukset: Everything was great. Value wise on the pricey side.

Plussat: Brilliant super new clean and lovely people

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Perfect location for sightseeing, shopping, going out. Very recently renovated rooms with modern facilities in classy setting. The hotel organized bikes for us at an excellent price, including tips for tours and things to see. Breakfast for 20 per cent discount for hotel guests is excellent compared to other offers around.

Plussat: Cleanliness of the room and available room space.

Miinukset: Overated rooms for the quality and services provided.

Plussat: Comfortable bed Very nice designed room (we had a suite looking over ‘Vrijthof’) Great food

Plussat: Very friendly staff, nice location and good breakfast.

Plussat: Excellent location, fantastic and friendly staff, a warm welcome and help-10/10 customer experience. Good breakfast included

Miinukset: The room was very overpriced-with all the sympathy to the lovely hosts. I paid 300 eur for one night/three people-it should have been half this price for this city and standard. Still, I fully understand it was high tourist season so no hard feelings.

Plussat: Wonderful location, easily accessible and quiet. Would happily go back and refer any friends to stay.

Plussat: Very pleasant hotel situated quite central. Easy to walk into Maastrict and the lovely streets and squares. Lovely clean room that was quite different than the usual hotel "box". Pleasant staff. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: No dedicated hotel parking, so you have to pay for on street parking which can be fun to find. No hotel lift, so as the hotel has several (tall) floors, be prepared to haul your luggage up several flights of stairs. Strangely, as we were checking out, the proprietor advised us she could not take card payments. We had not prepared for this so had to seek out an ATM. This involved walking round the streets of Maastrict using Google Maps to finally locate a working and accessible ATM. This added about an hour to our check out. It would have made sense if the proprietor had advised us in advance as we saw her every day.

Plussat: Good location, nice atmosphere. Breakfast was also very good.

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The room was in a separate building a block away from the actual hotel and that was not stated in my reservation

Plussat: I booked the place, because I wanted to stay in the historic-part of Maastricht, in one of those little hauses with those narrow staircases), close to university. My upstairs room was nice and cosy to stay in and work, I liked to use the pool, to participate in pilates classes offered at the on-site sports school (ask in advance at reception for time-table!, instruction is is Dutch, provided some experience in Pilates, one could follow by observing others) and to take a walk in town for sightseeing. I found the clean design of the place and the rooms with a lot of white and modern furniture very relaxing and inspiring. For me it was convienient to have breakfast with there.

Plussat: The studio was very nice, the location was perfect. Quiet, but very central.

Miinukset: The pool needs a renovation. In the bathroom was no place to put the wet towels.

Plussat: Clean and minimalistic design, no carpeting. Very clean. Confortable and spacious, a bathtub that will fit a tall person, and same goes for the bed. Location is good, and staff were very nice.

Miinukset: The mattress is a too soft for my taste. The pool is open for few hours morning and evening, which is when I was busy with other activities, so I didn't get a chance to check it out and do laps, unfortunately.

Plussat: The apartments are beautiful, the view is fantastic. Both hotels and apartments are very comfortable, rooms are big and new and they provide nice services (free coffee capsules from Nespresso, nice bath products).

Miinukset: There's no elevator in the hotel and the apartments, which can be an issue if you have big luggages.

Plussat: The wooden floor

Miinukset: Not cleaned daily

Plussat: Spacious studio. In a nice area of Maastricht (city centre). Over all design, look-and-feel of the hotel. Friendly staff. Bit expensive, but I am a returning guest over the past years. Didn't use it, but they have a swimming pool! :)

Miinukset: Overall it's a nice hotel, but not my best stay with them; studio #6 (Cortenstraat) is not the nicest studio, not as bright as others (less daylight, small windows), was not cleaned well, broken toilet seat, dirty cutlery, no private balcony, the lights in the studio are minimal (in the kitchenette very soft light), a few stairs to get there. The staff did not acted upon the remarks were made (not even a question if it was still possible to use the toilet). Would be nice if the former glam of this hotel comes back again. Competitor or fellow Urban Residences in Maastricht feels more up-to-date (stayed at their penthouse).

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Good central location Good value

Miinukset: Very basic facilities. We chose it because it said there was parking, but check the fine-print as there was no parking, but parking "close by" which was not really close by and was a real hassle to be honest.

Plussat: We had a lovely stay in this beautiful hotel, so charming! Even more beautiful than we thought!

Plussat: Very stylish building in quiet street in the heart of town.

Miinukset: There was some mildew on the rim of the shower panel. Breakfast was late (no self service) which created some departure stress

Plussat: Excellent breakfast / central location

Miinukset: carrying heavy suitcases to upper floors is a grind - no elevator exists

Plussat: The hotel is perfectly located, absolutely charming with charming, friendly and helpful personnel. We loved the decor and very much appreciated the little details, like candles and proper napkins and the breakfast table (which was very yummy with everything one could wish for!)

Miinukset: May be "charming" alright but pictures are grateful and the basic stuff should be improved. The towels were old, ragged and not clean. No hangers for towels, no heating.

Plussat: Staff were terrific and restaurant was excellent.

Miinukset: We were in a room facing the front of the hotel. We stayed on a Friday evening and even with the window closed, there was a terrible racket in the streets from late night revelers that kept us up until at least 3 AM. We had to leave very early and neither of us slept. Not sure this is fixable and of course, very unfortunately, for an otherwise very good hotel. Really a shame....

Plussat: Staff welcome and reception was very warm and helpful. Also the location is excellent. Special thanks to Joyce, Sandra and Stephanie.

Plussat: The room was spacious and clean. Super friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location and the parking. The breakfast too

Miinukset: The WiFi could have been stronger

Plussat: It felt like a boutique hotel. Very personal, clean, quiet, lovely decor, friendly staff with good service and food. Plus it’s location was perfect.

Plussat: Terrific location, right in the center of Maastricht. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast, if a bit pricey. I would go back.

Plussat: - We had a very nice and warm welcome. We ended up arriving later than the check-in time but this was no problem at all. - Nice comfortable beds - Close to Vrijthof parking garage, 3min walking. Although I actually think the property offers a better deal - Beautiful garden

Miinukset: - Not an improvement as it was fine for us but good to know, the stairs are quite steep and there is no elevator. If you have difficulties walking stairs, ask for a ground floor room.

Miinukset: Really really expensive

Plussat: Ihana rauhallinen kaunis hotelli.

Plussat: The internal garden is fantastic and the breakfast delicious!

Plussat: The quiet location and setting

Miinukset: Coffee cups not cleaned and refreshed from the previous day

Plussat: The property and it's location.

Miinukset: Price vs the quality was not a match. Very poor rooms as if its a budget motel, yeah right Motel. The property was good but common 160 Euros for the room where the bathroom didn't had any utilities, the lights in room were poor. Very bad experience

Plussat: Pet friendly - pet received gift Peaceful and access to nature walks from location

Miinukset: Pillows too soft No small towel for drying No coffee facilities in room

Plussat: We are more then happy with kitchen, beautiful building and stylish park .

Miinukset: Uncomfortable mattress. No shower cap. No mini bar.

Plussat: The architecture and the grounds outside were beautiful. Breakfast was great! Staff was very helpful. Very quiet

Miinukset: We are a couple that likes to sleep cuddled together and the mattresses have a gap down the center that tried eating us.

Plussat: Unfortunately they were working on the railway during the weekend and also during the night just terrible

Miinukset: The rooms are small outdated and not clean

Plussat: The place was very good. We thought we would be staying in an old castle with the feel that comes with it, but it didn't. The room was clean and employees were great also.

Miinukset: We asked for an early (6AM) breakfast because we were leaving for the airport. They gave us a lunch (sandwiches with onion salad). We didn't eat even though we paid for the breakfast which we didn't get.

Plussat: Location was fantastic. The owner, Ben, was very accommodating.

Miinukset: Loud outside at night until late. Not horrible, just a little annoying.

Plussat: Very comfortable room

Plussat: Near the city centre Cheap place to stay

Miinukset: A bit noisy sometimes

Plussat: Location was central , close to everything.Room was always clean and the bed was comfy :)

Plussat: Excellent, friendly service provided which made me feel very welcome and safe travelling on my own. I would recommend for certain! Loved my stay- thank you. Julia Petty

Plussat: Close to the city centre

Miinukset: Having booked the last room at Keizer Karelplein I was transferred to Capucijnerstraat, way less central. Although the host said it would be easy to park, I had to drive around a long time, and have a long walk to get back to the room.

Plussat: -Perfect location. B&B is located right in the city center. I had a beautiful view on the church from my window. -Breakfasts are worth their price. You can expect the variety of difference cheese, ham, muesli, eggs, jams, tea, coffee, orange juice, croissants, etc. -Very clean and quiet for the historical building. -Convenient check-in system. -Very friendly personnel

Plussat: Great location. Room, shower and toilet were very clean. Really many choices for breakfast, great value for money, don't skip it. Ower is very courteous and friendly.

Plussat: Location is is near the river. You can ride a bike or walk to city center. There are Not many choice for the breakfast, but food are delicious.

Miinukset: Shower is near bed and need to stay in bathtub when showering.

Plussat: The garden, parking, nearby river and clean comfy bed.

Miinukset: Silly arty stuff at the expense of function. No proper shower just a bath. Conduction cooktop without any cooking stuff. Poor lighting. Unusable safe.

Plussat: Staff, location, what a stunningly beautiful place, will stay again.

Miinukset: Only niggle was the bed was way to soft for our taste, minor niggle.

Plussat: location, standing,

Miinukset: reception and way to be welcomed

Plussat: It was our wedding anniversary trip and we travel with dogs, so it was important to stay in a place where there is a big territory as well. Beautiful nature and surroundings, nice restaurant and marina at the vicinity. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. The actual place and building is absolutely amazing, rooms are spacious and modern, clean and comfy. We definitely recommend this place for couples as well as solo travellers and families. We are impressed and would definitely come back again. Thank you for making our short stay unforgettable! : )

Plussat: Everything was ok. Very dog friendly place with clean rooms.

Plussat: Great place with lovely garden. Dog friendly place.

Plussat: The property is a fantastic environment. Very beautiful gardens along the river Maas / Meuse, old but refurbished castle and coach house. Staff very friendly. And a very good and beautiful restaurant on the same property, although not the same business group.

Miinukset: Avoid at all cost the two suites Adam Love Suite and Eve Love Suite, next to the reception. These rooms have a bath tub in the same open space as the bed, but no shower facility at all, not even using the same bath tub. As such, you forgo a shower or you splash the whole room wet. The next morning after complaining about the same, initially no alternative rooms were available for the second night. After stating that we would leave then and not pay for the reserved second night, we were given two much better alternative rooms with a proper bathroom with shower. This business is completely understaffed. You start to feel sorry for the few staff, if around at all, for the amount of multitasking they are required to do (combination of reception, bar and breakfast service done by one person…). If not at the reception, you are asked to call the central number. Once in the morning this took me 3 calls and 15 minutes in total, to no avail. Another time, past 23:00 calling the same number connected me to the “Black Label Hotel Valkenburg”, the person only spoke English, and was not at all aware that calls from Kasteel De Doorenwerth were forwarded to the other hotel, let alone could help us to get in the tower rooms general staircase access, with the access door closed. Only with help of the off-duty restaurant staff did we discover a ‘hidden’ door on the other side ‘camouflaged’ in the castle wall.

Plussat: A working AC felt wonderful on a hot day! The room was very clean and a nice surprise was the fridge and coffee maker. The environment was lovely but I was disappointed with the location of the room because I thought the rooms were downstairs.

Miinukset: The room on the second floor of the tower is not suitable for older people or dogs due to too steep and dangerous stairs. (Spiral stairs). The stairwell was also awfully hot, just as if it were in a sauna. Nor do I like the fact that the shower has a direct view into the room (glass wall). The headboard of the bed was loose and there was no reading light and neither was there bedside tables.

Plussat: Hyvä aamupala, erittäin mukava sisustus, loistava hinta/laatusuhde, sijainti täydellinen jos saapuu junalla.

Miinukset: Liian korkea tyyny.

Plussat: Sijainti oli hyvä ja sisäpiha.

Miinukset: Huone oli karu ja meluisa.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: - we arrived to our room on Saturday night, and the toilet was completely dirty, even the outside. The only member if staff available was the receptionist, who tried his best to clean it, but at the end of the day it still remained dirty. Apparently the tubes were blocked because there was too much smell. The receptionist said they’d switch us to another room after talking I the daily staff, but that never happened. None of the staff members apologized after that Furthermore, I would have posted some pictures but it was so disgusting that it’d be embarrassing to post them. - Starting 7 AM there was constant noise coming from the hallways and the other rooms. The receptionist staffs were extremely unpleasant, the client service is 0.

Miinukset: Lavuaari olohuoneessa

Plussat: So we where told on leaving that we were required to pay an extra 24 euro as when we paid on arrival we had paid for a 4 man room though on all booking information for the room it had said 5 people . Our two year old fell on decking while playing in the chill out area as floor was legally slippy and has a big bruise on her head and bust her nose. The in laws in another room had a shower that floods the room when used. When reported where advised it has been known to do that and was not fixed. Which also then went the floors which caused a slipping hazard. The floors weren't once washed in our room in the four days we were there and upon arrival under the bed was very dusty. In the four days the sheets though clearly dirty were not changed.

Miinukset: The staff at the desk always were cheery

Plussat: Helpful staff Reception had drinks Storage for luggage downstairs Great bathroom/ shower Cleanliness excellent Near station

Miinukset: During this stay we moved to 2 bedroom room, Small room and twin beds together against walls one sided access to beds. No problem for us but might be if not so mobile and especially if there is a need to have to get up in the night. View disappointing, huge mechanical pipework outside

Plussat: Mielenkiintoinen hotelli, erilainen mutta onnistunut design. Hyvä sijainti keskustassa. Mukava ja auttavainen henkilökunta. Erittäin siistit huoneet.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, kohtuullinen hinta, siisti.

Miinukset: Lasiovi vessassa.

Plussat: Cool decor. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: Unfriendly staff at front desk. Really perfumey bath products.

Plussat: Centrally located

Miinukset: The rooms are small, bathroom cleaning was half heartedly done, It is a lot of self service: eg: pick up your kettle, cups, instant coffee and tea at the reception for your room

Plussat: Clean. Comfortable bed. Cotton sheets and nice pillows.

Miinukset: Breakfast arrangements with next door properties.

Plussat: hotel design looks fabulous....creative rooms interiors... wide size rooms ....toilet area is big internet is fast....breakfast is great location is super ....just in-front of maas station

Miinukset: nothing ....but no tea boiler inside rooms

Plussat: Kiva henkilökunta ja ihana aamiainen. Persoonallinen sisustus.

Miinukset: Pölyistä.

Plussat: Great staff by the reception. Nice restaurant recommendations

Plussat: Ystävällinen palvelu. Tullessa tarjottiin jopa kulhollinen keittoa. Hyvä aamupala.

Plussat: The design

Miinukset: Not applicable

Plussat: Everything... i was not expecting much, but surprises in every corner... drinks, stickers, radio & pie. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Plussat: The hotel is next to the central station. Within a small walk you can reach everything. Coffee and Tea were free out through the day. We really enjoyed our stay.

Miinukset: It was a little dusty in our room, especially in the corners and underneath the bed.

Plussat: The staff was friendly, rooms were clean.

Miinukset: Location is oke, but not amazing. Price was high for the room (€180 a night)

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and helped me with any questions I had. The hotel is close to the train station but in a street that's a little more quiet traffic wise. There is a garage you can use free of charge for your bike or your car., which is very unusual in Maastricht as parking prices here are horrible.

Miinukset: The room was quite small, there is no room to put your luggage or your clothes. There was no mini fridge in case you want to buy a snack or something to drink for later use. The bathroom door has a lot of openings, so if you stay with someone else and you are shy about using the bathroom, this could be an issue. I had 2 pillows on the bed and one of them was so thick my neck was bent at a weird angle so I couldn't use it, would have been a problem if I hadn't travelled alone.
