We celebrated our anniversary at the hotel. Stella surprised us with hearts and 33 on the bed. We stayed in the library room. The bed was comfortable. The courtyard and the breakfast was nice. Wonderful service with youthful energy. We will definitely stay there again. The do not have elevators, but guests can request ground floor rooms.

Beautiful renovated castle where students from the management school next door work and train. The rooms were nice and also the service. The breakfast was nice ? The room was designed in a way that the toilet is open on the room so you should be really close to the person you are sharing a room with

Excellent place! It is where the students from the hotel management school next door train, and they give a very nice service. The place is clean, in a beautiful setting, and has an amazing restaurant on site where the students are also working. Great value for the area. We also got a room upgrade. The bed was so comfortable and room spacious and nicely designed. We will definitely be back.

I stayed in the green room in the tower, which is designed beautifully with the best view on the outside. I slept wonderfully, I highly recommend staying here also because of the brilliant service provided by the students, both at dinner and at breakfast. The toilet was “open concept”, which may not be the best option if you have date. All in all a romantic, extremely clean and stylish hotel. I will come back!

If you would like to stay in a special kind of hotel, this one is for you! Starting with staff, so sweet and friendly and accommodating! Rooms are designer, some are very, very weird. Some are with bathrooms in surprising places, i wouldn't stay here if you're on an a romantic gateway, usles you are comfortable with each other! Hotel itself is gorgeous! It was still a fantastic stay, bed was comfortable, people amazing. There are bikes for hire(€15per day), perfect for visiting Maastricht.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
