Hotels near Kugelbrunnen, Aachen

We were looking for a hotel within easy walking distance to the old city. And with a good breakfast. Innside was modern and comfortable. The rooftop breakfast was good with a great view. Note that the restaurant and rooftop bar are closed Sunday and Monday. We were given a choice of room on the quiet side, or city view. Our fourth floor city view room was great, but a lower floor would not be much of a view. Front desk staff was quick, friendly snd helpful with directions, suggestions and reservations. The city has great charm, history and the Christmas market was wonderful.

I had a budget DZ (108) to the street in the EC. It was extremely noisy at open window and at airing evaporation gases and melting from passing smokers come into. Because the room was in the EC, everyone can also look in. In closed windows is almost rest. The best to take a room to the rear courtyard if possible. My familiar had in the EC room 107 (also budget-DZ). She had a balcony door to the rear courtyard. Good for smokers :-) The room was clean and the size was OK. Breakfast: 4 varieties of sauce, 2 varieties of cheese, bread and bread, marmelade and nutella. There are also ingredients for a mini musli: oats, corn flakes nature and chocolate. ---- hard cooked eggs and yoghurt. To do this, a really delicious coffee machine with various coffees to choose. Other drinks are also available: orange juice, apple juice, milk and tea. All in all a good breakfast for a cheap hotel. In 10-15 minutes you are walking at the Dom/Rayhouse. The reception is only occupied from 14.00. It is not possible to check in before.

Ho soggiornato in questo hotel situato in pieno centro di Aechen nel mese di luglio e posso dire sinceramente di essermi trovato bene. La stanza era essenziale, pulita e confortevole. Colazione tipica bavarese dolce/salato. Unico neo la poca disponibilità di parcheggio. Sicuramente da prendere in considerazione per visitare la vivace cittadina tedesca senza eccessi affanni.

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.

I stayed here, with my brothers, for 4 nights/5 days to meet up with 2 other brothers and family/friends. We had an excellent stay, made even better by the service of Nina and Marcus who were very, very helpful, friendly and NOTHING was ever a bother, especially Nina. They are an absolute assett to this hotel and I hope the hotel recognise this. Everything else within the hotel, including staff, accomodation and facilities were great. Nice (small) pool outside, within walking distance of the town centre (20 mins approx) Danke Mercure Europlatz

I couldn’t find anything I didn’t like about this hotel or location insofar as location, cleanliness or staff. In fact, the breakfast was so far superior to ANY Hampton at home (in US) as to be comical. Huge assortment of choices. The room was huge, quiet and very clean (think floorboards, bathroom tile, and closet!) Alas, they have (unfortunately) adopted the US practice of using COVID to cut costs. There is apparently no housekeeping on weekends, so they put a cart out with supplies. Give me a break. The ersatz fireplace in the lobby is silly and the sliding bathroom doors at European Hamptons continue to annoy. But overall, a very superior product

Nice hotel! Friendly staff working hard. The room was good, (home animal room, our dog was with). Delightful snack was ready for the dog in the room. The TV in the room was a little overcast for us. No possibility of connecting or streaming a chromecast to the TV. Nice terrace at the room. Nice garden to walk nicely. Breakfast was great for us. The hotel has a very small number of guests who are not able to take care of their staff during events (marriage, birthday and condolences at the same time). The great advantage for us was that you get an email every evening and can indicate whether you want to clean towels next day or that they have to do your whole room.

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.

Excellent! We arrived a little early but it was no bother and we were checked in swiftly by a very kind and professional receptionist; she was very helpful too with a great sense of humour. The rooms are very nice, big and clean and the bathroom is big, with a choice of shower heads and a separate bath. The breakfast buffet offers A LOT of options and I was impressed, it would have been perfect if they’d have served vegetarian sausages but that’s me being incredibly picky. Check out was swift plus you can also check out online or leave your keys in a drop box. There is ample parking and the location is very good as you are just off the motorway between Belgium and Germany. We booked directly with them so they offered us a little treat which was super nice. I thoroughly recommend this hotel; the parking, rooms and staff are very, very good!
