Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property was fantastic. I was looking for a reasonably priced hotel very near the train station and you can't beat the location of this property. I was warmly greeted by the staff, who even offered a nice hot cup of coffee. The reception area is large, comfortable, and was playing some great music. It's a fun atmosphere. My room was just what I needed, the floor was quiet, and the next day the staff kindly allowed us to store our bags for a few hours so we could explore the Christmas market before our train. I really enjoyed my stay and hope one day to have the chance to return.

Slept very badly because of the train station nearby and the open window; if we would close the window it would get too hot. Bedsheets of previous guest were still on the bed, bed number didn't match my card (bed was taken). Room sanitary was good and clean, public sanitary was dirty and a lot wasn't working. Staff is friendly.

In die Jahre gekommen

Sind seit Eröffnung (waren mit die ersten Gäste im A&O Aachen) jedes Jahr einmal dort. Bei manchen Dingen kann man denken dass Personal keine Lust hat, zu arbeiten. Duschbefestigung recht locker, Duschtür wurde schon lange nicht mehr richtig gereinigt oder getauscht, Abflusssieb ebenfalls. Dass die zugigen Fenster in der heutigen Zeit noch so erlaubt sind? Fahrstuhl könnte auch mal richtig gereinigt werden.
