Hotel berhampiran Treffpunkt Christuskirche, Aachen

Das Hotel liegt 5 min von der Fußgängerzone entfernt und bildet einen guten Startpunkt, um Aachen kennenzulernen. Park Möglichkeiten gegen Gebühr in der Tiefgarage des Hotels.

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.

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 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.

Absolutely fantastic staff. Could not do enough for their customers. Checking them in, serving beers, serving food. Only 2 staff members on a busy F1 weekend. Very hard working, a credit to the brand. Thank you ladies

Mooi hotel! Vriendelijk personeel die hard werken. Kamer was goed, (huisdier kamer, onze hond was mee). Lekkere snack stond klaar voor de hond op de kamer. De tv op de kamer was wat achterhaald voor ons. Geen mogelijkheid om een chromecast aan te sluiten of te streamen naar de tv. Lekker terrasje aan de kamer. Mooie tuin om lekker in te wandelen. Ontbijt was voor ons prima. Tijdens events ( bruiloft, verjaardag en condoleance op het zelfde tijdstip) minder aandacht voor hotelgasten vanwege personeelstekort. Er wordt dan ook geen lunch aangeboden. (Begrijpelijk?) Personeel aan de balie erg vriendelijk. Groot voordeel voor ons was dat je iedere avond een email krijg en kan aangeven of je de volgende dag alleen schone handdoeken wil of dat ze je hele kamer moeten doen. Al met al een fijne week gehad.

Though we weren't expecting our rooms to be in the Kasteel itself, the accommodation in the modern blocks was corporate and dingy and though described as ”deluxe with a balcony” had no views of the ancient pile or anything of particular interest. To be honest, I have stayed in more interesting Travel Lodges in the UK and paid half the price. The whole place oozed mediocrity, from the check-in clerk who volunteered no recommendations on how to experience the Kasteel which was, in effect, sealed off to tourists, to our bathroom which had no natural light or air and a shower situated in the bath. All very disappointing. Dinner in the Old Water Mill was marred by a delay of 25 minutes before we saw a menu and extremely long gaps between courses which we put down to a shortage of kitchen staff or maybe a lack of english menus; both seemed plausible. The food itself was high quality/mid-range though definitely not gourmet or fine-dining. Oddly, Limburg wines were not included on the wine list but a very limited number of bottles from the best promoted vineyard in the region were available by the glass on request. The entremet was literally inedible though I appreciated the free glass of dessert wine I was given in compensation. Service had its faults such as asking us what we wanted to drink before we had been given any kind of drinks/wine list but was generally characterised by a sincere effort to provide attentive service. We opted not to have the breakfast buffet at 23 euros a throw and though the check-out clerk verbally acknowledged we hadn't partaken, somehow he included a line item on the bill ”breakfast excluded” which added 46 euros to the bill (yes, added) which we only discovered as we prepared to drive off. Utter stupidity and a symbolically apt end to our misadventure at Kasteel Vaalsbroek.

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.
