Hotel berhampiran CHIO -Brücke, Aachen

This was our second visit as the location is perfect. It is close to bus stops, the cathedral area and a pedestrianised shopping street.there is a taxi rank right opposite. On the doorstep are a couple of nice cafes, an ice cream parlour, two great German bakeries and even a Subway and a McDonalds for those who want something familiar. The rooms are a good size with a good shower and lovely neroli and bergamot liquid soap and shampoo dispensers. The air conditioning is efficient - some might find it noisy but it’s a white noise which didn’t bother us. The quilts are really think so we took ours out of the cover and just used that as our stay coincided with the Sept heatwave. There is a kettle and sachets in the room which we gratefully made use of. Breakfast was great. We didn’t have any of the hot food but the cold meats and cheeses were a good selection and the breads were nice. The fruit salad was excellent and the latte coffee from the machine very good. Ordinary coffee was available on the tables but the machine offered cappuchino, latte etc. The tea wasn’t so good - great choice again, but any Uk based person going for the English Breakfast option will be disappointed. We saw a little bar area but it never appeared to be open - we were there mid-week in Sept, so maybe it’s a peak season/weekend thing. The staff were friendly and our request for an extra pillow each was met immediately. This is the place we will always try to book when coming to Aachen

Bertentangan dengan pusat ujian DSH, kerana mengambil masa yang lama untuk masuk ke venue, malah terlalu lewat untuk pergi ke peperiksaan selepas tidur sehingga pukul sembilan, dan kemudian bersarapan, anda boleh melihat keadaan di luar bilik peperiksaan, dan anda boleh turun ke bawah selepas anda memasuki tempat itu. Sangat sesuai datang ke aachen untuk mengambil peperiksaan dsh. Kasut kanak-kanak. Konfigurasi hotel agak memuaskan.

A no-frills, nicely decorated, well located, clean hotel. Nothing bad to say (except that a more thorough take at cleaning the upper shelf of the wardrobe would be welcome). But everything else was really optimal. I did not need to interact with the staff at reception during my stay, so I can not report on that. The girl who checked me in was efficient and polite, and that was all the contact I had with the reception. I spent interesting evenings at the bar tasting several gins of their rich gin menu, and the two waiters I interacted with were very helpful and professional. I had a ”room with a view”, not the lowest price-range, and it was perfect for one person, although it was a double. The bed was indeed double, but the closet would have been on the small side for two people staying more than a couple of nights. If I have to point something out is the lack of a light curtain in addition of the thick, darkening curtain that the room had. If you did not want to be seen by neighbourghs in the building in front, the only option was to close the curtain, which was very effective in darkening completely the room. This at midday seemed a bit too radical. But the summary of my experience is that I will come back to this hotel if ever again in Aachen.

We stayed at this hotel for 10 days while helping our son move to Aachen from a different part of Germany. The location of the hotel is extremely convenient as it is only a 5 minute walk from the train station, and about 15 minute walk to both our son's new apartment in the Frankenberger neighborhood and also to the old town. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Panayoti who spoke very good English and explained all the charges on our hotel bill clearly. The breakfast offered a variety of healthy choices and fresh baked goods and was reasonably priced. The hotel felt very safe both in terms of Covid precautions and security at night time when returning late. The only thing I felt was not quite up to my expectations were the flat pillows and firm beds. I prefer fluffier pillows and a softer bed, but it was comfortable enough for the length of our stay. When I return to Aachen, I will not hesitate to book a stay at this hotel again.

This hotel is a basic low price hotel with no added extras. However if you just need somewhere cheap to stay for a short break this is ideal. The room we had was basic with minimal furniture and no tea/coffee, fridge or safe. Nevertheless it was quite spacious with a good bathroom, comfortable bed and clean. The breakfast was adequate with a reasonable choice but not fantastic. Use one of the nearby cafes instead. The location is very good - almost opposite the station, and only about 10 to 15 minutes walk to the city centre.

Our 1 night stay was good but the girl in reception is kinda rude, if we ask for a favor or question she will make face and looks tired while doing the favor or answering us. Also, the breakfast is good but small choices. But the rest are ally good and other staff.

This was our first stay ever at a vd Valk hotel and I start with the positive things. 1) Staff at the lobby and the breakfast very friendly and helpfull. 2) When we arrived we got an other room after a complaint without any problem. What disappointed us strongly were the following. 1) We got a room where the carpet all over had black smudges which looked really dirty. 2) The bed in the new room was on the side facing to step out like a slide at a holiday park. It was worn out by the” heavy weights” over time and never repalced. I fixed this problem temporarely myself by turning the very thick second mattrass over. 3) My wife and I were not able to watch our own old digitized pictures and short video's (TV has an USB port) because the television terminated everything in such that we even could not watch TV at all. Watching only TV was restored by a very helpfull staff member. 4) Between my bed and the wall were a lot of big and thick parts of clocked together dust. (see pictures) These rooms stay very dark even with all ”lights”turned on and by accident I noticed this because I used my flashlight in the night. 5) Vd Valk send us by e-mail a voucher for a welcome drink which did not specify any period of validity. When were thirsty the last day we decided to use it and went to the lobby and showed this voucher and the answer was that it was only valid on arrival. When I told the lady that this voucher did not mentioned anything about it she then told us to get a cup of coffee where we just had breakfast 1 hour before. This first acquaintance (in Dutch kennismaking?) with vd Valk hotels was ice cold and for us never more. So to say, our first and last.

We were nicely surprised by this new (or recently refurbished?) family-run hotel. It is very cozy, laid out in a ”motel” style where each room is entered from either the courtyard or a courtyard balcony. We did not use the swimming pool but its use was offered. The courtyard garden and surroundings are beautifully kept and fit well with quite picturesque neighbourhood of Eynatten. There are five restaurants within a walking distance if you happen to arrive, like us, on Sunday night when the hotel restaurant is closed. The breakfast was very good and when there was a slight confusion as to the time the brakfast started, the family started running around and managed to start the breakfast within minutes after our (early) arrival to the breakfast room. The location close to the highway makes it a nice place to stop on a long journey.

3 nachten op de begane grond een perfecte kamer. Deze was met terras aan tuinzijde. Heerlijk rustig en dus lekker geslapen in de goede bedden. Badkamer ruim met wastafel, bad en apart de douche met regen en hand douche. Wc gescheiden. Veel bergruimte en groot beeld flatscreen tv in de kamer. Koffie/thee set aanwezig. Ontbijt is uitgebreid, diner snel geserveerd en lekker. Vriendelijk personeel. Waren erg blij dat de motor binnen gestald kon worden. Echt service en komen hier graag terug.
