If you’re a budget traveler looking to go to the Netherlands, definitely check out the Kaboom Hotel Maastricht! Winner of the Best Hotel Concept by Entree Magazine in 2015, this hotel is smart and sophisticated, without hurting your wallet. Located in the trendy district of Wyck, guests will love to call this quirky hotel home for a few nights!

Rooms at the Kaboom Hotel range from the following options: Basic Urban, Medium Urban, Large Urban, XLarge, and Family Style. All 63 rooms are modern, sleek, and bright white – black and white wallpaper adorns the walls, while windows look out to the city or courtyard. If you’re looking for heavy amenities, Kaboom may blow your dreams for that.

The hotel’s website makes it very clear: “We don't do things like coffee makers or minibars in your room...If you are looking for a DVD player or a fixed phone, you can search for a long time.” Clearly, the staff and owners have quite a sense of humor! Quirky clocks decorated with sayings like “stop watching” and unique murals and decals make Kaboom all the more charming.

Hungry? To the left of the hotel, you’ll find DADAWAN, an Asian fusion restaurant. The name “dadawan” means “big bowl” in Chinese – so, you’re sure to leave full!
