About the hotel
Tucked in the south of Limburg and idyllically located in the Geul Valley, this humble guest house is surrounded by nature yet close to the charismatic city of Maastricht.
Taking its name from the river which runs through it, the Geul valley offers many panoramic views ? some of which can be enjoyed from the comfort of the hotel green-room and terrace.
The cosiness of a traditional tavern and optimal hospitality can still be found here in De Herberg, where guests are treated with care. 34 sleeping places have been divided over 13 rooms. We also offer free on site parking, a bike shed and special parking area for motor bikes.
De Herberg is a friendly family hotel. The cosy atmosphere is partly created by our lounge area, which seats 45 people and is used for dinner, lunch and recreational purposes. This is a welcoming spot where guests can retreat and relax. It has a reading corner, television/DVD area and a closet filled with games. A daily Dutch newspaper and a weekly television guide are provided.
Our terrace (which seats 100 people) and restaurant are easily accessible for people in wheelchairs or with walking disabilities. The terrace has beautiful views and is an ideal place to have a drink or read a book.
