Description: We had a meeting at the Grand hotel in Heerlen. It is one of the Amrath hotel group. This is a chain of hotels owned by the family of Eijl. This told the hotel manager. He was proud that he could run this independent hotel. "That's the beauty in my field, he told me, despite the fact that we are a hotel chain, I can still have my own ideas. I always like that, that people tell you all this unasked. That gives you a bit how proud they are on their doing.
I have already been at several Amrath Hotels. Typically I think you have a total concept of meeting facilities and sleeping facilities. Usually they are the four-star hotels.
Price
Everything was arranged for this meeting, but on the Internet I found the best price of 78 euro’s with breakfast in a room for one person. You can decide for yourself whether you want extra things like a suite, you pay 25 euro’s more. In terms of price a good value for money for a 4 star hotel. Book through their site is well organized in my own experience in the past.
Arrival
You can park at the hotel's private parking and a garage. That is perfectly arranged. For hotel guests, parking is free. This the first advantage of the hotel. The hotel is close to the center of Heerlen. The Pancratius Square and shopping are within walking distance.
Address: Groene Boord 23, Heerlen
The reception
Entering you come in a cozy room. It is a large room and was immediately a luxury. It is a collection and meeting place. Comfortable seats and a spacious desk for the reception. A kind of lounge with beautiful shaped armchairs. You can have a nice cup of coffee here.
Check in
When I arrived I was kindly helped by a friendly lady at the reception. Immediately I got the key and she showed me the way to the room where our meeting was.

There is a bath, a shower and there is a fairly large basin. The nice things: shower gel, shampoo, soaps are of course present. The quality of towels is fine, nice and soft. I have sometimes made differently and there is a hairdryer.
Restaurant/breakfast
There is a separate restaurant and bar. The Flight Room bar. Wonderfully decorated with objects from the air. Just a friendly gathering place. We had lunch in a room next to our meeting. That lunch was also a good standard with delicious pastries, milk and orange juice. In the evening we went with a group into town. There in the center of Heerlen find plenty of nice places to eat. The breakfast room is large. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The operation is very appropriate and you can provide yourself what you want. Breakfast (15 euro) is very extensive. The boiled egg is waiting for you. There is something for everyone present. From yogurt to bacon. Good standard.
Conclusion
An excellent hotel in the center of Heerlen. Good service to its guests. And the prices are very reasonable.
