In den Roden leeuw van Limburg
A three-star base right by Wittem's Klooster
About this hotel
In den Roden leeuw van Limburg sits a two-minute walk from Wittem's Klooster and a minute from Brasserie Du Chateau, close enough to reach both on foot after a day at Mosaqua. The three-star rating shows in the basics: air conditioning for warm summer nights, a restaurant on site for evenings when the drive back from the pool has run long, and full-service laundry that matters more on a week-long stay than a weekend one. Free breakfast and free parking are both included, and the kid-friendly tag holds up against an 8.6 rating across 268 reviews. The steam train at Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij is a nine-minute taxi ride away for a non-pool day.
- Free breakfast and parking
- Air conditioning
- On-site restaurant
- Kid-friendly
Our take
This suits a family wanting a straightforward three-star base with the practical basics covered, breakfast, parking, air conditioning and a restaurant, rather than extra facilities like a pool or spa. It's a reasonable pick for a week built around day trips to Mosaqua and the steam train. Anyone wanting an on-site pool as a rainy-day backup should look elsewhere on this list instead.
- ✓Book the on-site restaurant ahead for busy weekends, since Wittem's dining options thin out once you're past Brasserie Du Chateau.
- ✓Reserve early for school holidays, since the kid-friendly rooms here are limited compared with the bigger holiday parks nearby.
- ✓Ask about laundry access if staying a full week, since it's a genuine amenity here rather than a rare extra.
Why we love it
- Two-minute walk to Wittem's Klooster
- Full-service laundry for longer stays
- Air conditioning through summer heat
- Restaurant on site most evenings
Why guests love itA steady, no-surprises base for a week centred on Mosaqua. Breakfast was reliable every morning and the walk to Wittem's Klooster made for an easy evening stroll after the pool. The restaurant covered two nights we didn't want to drive anywhere, and the air conditioning mattered more than expected during a warm stretch in July. Nothing flashy, but everything worked as described, which is worth more than it sounds on a family trip.
