Mr Jigs hotel Venlo — Hotel in Venlo

Mr. Jigs in Venlo is a stylish boutique hotel right next to the train station — sleek, modern, clean, and in a location that honestly couldn’t be better. The concept follows its own motto: “unexpected luxury & no bullshit” — no unnecessary extras, just smart design and solid essentials.

What stood out immediately was the minimalist, very clean, yet still homely design. Nothing feels cluttered, but it also doesn’t feel cold or impersonal. My room was large, cozy, and quiet; it was easy to switch off and relax. The modern bathroom concept surprised me. I also appreciated the multimedia connection to the TV, which made it simple to plug in my own content instead of relying only on standard channels.

Breakfast fits the overall idea: not an overloaded buffet, but good essentials done well. There’s excellent coffee from a portafilter/espresso machine, fresh fruit, and croissants.

Communication with the staff was great: polite, straight to the point, and multilingual. You get the feeling that you’re welcome, and at the same time everything is efficient and uncomplicated.

The bar / lounge area on the ground floor felt very cosy, with warm ambient lighting and a relaxed vibe. It’s more like a comfortable social space than a traditional hotel lobby — very inviting.

Bottom line: a hotel that delivers what it promises. Stylish, modern, clean, top location — and definitely “unexpected luxury &...

Where do I even start. First, everyone should know that it’s a very comfortable, modern feeling hotel that looks like a four star for the price of a 3 star. Second, the staff is quite simply - wonderful. I was on a long business trip and each staff member (whether morning, afternoon, or evening shifts) was incredibly kind, warm, and knew much about the area. They made me feel incredibly welcomed and it really lifted my spirits as I was so far from my family and feeling lonely. Third, the coffee, pastries, and the bar are all delicious. I just have downed over 20 espressos during my stay and each was consistently delicious (better than the espressos I would later have in Amsterdam and London). Venlo itself is quite charming and homie with charms of its own. But quite frankly, I want to go back to Venlo to stay in this hotel...

I night stay Saturday 26th October. I was in a compact room looking into a large inner space. Bed in front of window took up all floorspace. So it wasn't possible to walk past the end of the bed to open/close curtains. You had to crawl across bed. Bed was fine. Bathroom was a glassed off area in the corner of the room....not a separate room. Did the job OK. No full breakfast available in the morning....just complimentary coffee and crossaints. I could not find a hair dryer in the room after I had washed my hair. When I raised this at checkout I was informed that hair dryers are not supplied in compact rooms. This was a first for me in all my hotel visits. Location is good just across from rail station. TV has Youtube access....good given lack of any English...
