Hotels near Evangelical Free Church congregation Bonn, Bonn

Exakt ein Jahr nach einem ”Mädels”-Wochenende mit meiner besten Freundin verbrachten wir diesmal mit unseren Männern vom 12.-14.05.2023 in den Superior-Rheinblick-Zimmern 304 und 306 eine schöne Zeit im stilvollen ”Maritim”-Königswinter mit dem spektakulären Blick auf den Rhein. Wir genossen alle unseren Aufenthalt mit aufrichtig freundlich zugewandten Mitarbeitern der meisten Bereiche sehr, haben allerdings ein paar Anmerkungen und Verbesserungsvorschlöge. Obwohl ich bereits bei der Buchung den unverbindlichen Wunsch”oberste Etage” angegeben hatte, sollten wir beim Einchecken Zimmer in der ersten Etage bekommen. Nach entsprechendem Hinweis erhielten wir problemlos o.g. Zimner mit o.g. Blick. Die Superior-Zimmer haben neben dem Rheinblick auch eine Nespresso-Maschine. Ich persönlich würde mir als reine Tee-Trinkerin ergänzend einen Wasserkocher und eine Auswahl an Tee wünschen. Erfahrungsgemäß hatte ich meinen Wasserkocher und Teebeutel mitgenommen. Im Bad unserer Freunde waren bei Ankunft unter dem Waschtisch unangenehm aussehende Flecken auf den Fliesen, die nach Hinweis umgehend entfernt wurden. Wir freuten uns, dass das Wetter mitspielte und wir beide als Arrangement gebuchten Abendessen auf der Rheinterasse im Sonnenuntergang genießen konnten. Leider hatte das Restaurant am 13.05.2023 nur wenige Reservierungen für den Abend, so dass uns ein 3-gängiges reines Spargel-Menü angeboten wurde, was für 2 von uns keine Option bot, da wir keinen Spargel essen. Zudem hatten wir uns alle auf das umfangreiche ”Maritim”-Abendbuffet gefreut und wären gerne zuvor informiert worden. Unser Vorschlag, den wir der überaus aufmerksamen und freundlichen AZUBI Larissa machten war, ein bis zwei weitere 3-Gang-Menüs anzubieten, damit jeder Gast unkompliziert zufrieden gestellt werden kann. Was uns ebenfalls betrübt hat und was wir im vergangenen Jahr besser erlebt haben, war der, bei einer überschaubaren Bar-Ausnutzung nicht wirklich interessierte und unprofessionelle Barkeeper. Ich hätte mir mehr Informationen zu dem mir unbekannten Gin gewünscht und bei meinem späteren Getränkewunsch Piňa Colada Vergin war sein Hinweis, dass er keine Sahne darin mag und ich statt dessen Batida de Coco darin nehmen sollte absolut unangebracht. Am 2. Abend suchten wir daher zum Abendausklang eine Lokalität in der Altstadt auf. Schade! Nichtsdestotrotz lieben wir das ”Maritim”-Klnigswinter und kommen sicher wieder!

We stayed at this hotel for three nights in April 2022 during a family & friends reunion trip in my old hometown. Our Junior Suite # 107 was comfortable with scenic views on the river Rhine. One could have just sit on his bed and stare out of the window for hours. Sleeping quality was excellent and the bathroom - though on the smaller side - spotlessly clean. What we missed was a small shelf in bathroom, which could be easily installed above the toilet for example. Now we had to keep our wash bags on the desk in the room, what is not really convenient. Also towels are a bit small and there are no bigger ones available - even on request. The room itself is functional, sufficiently clean, however, a little more attention to detail is recommended, mainly the floor would need some more intense cleanup prior to arrival next time. Breakfast was ok, not exceptional, but what you can expect from a 4* city hotel. Service was friendly. The location is one of a kind, super central in one of Bonn's nicest parts, calm, but still sufficiently close to many sights and attractions. The city centre with its pittoresque pedestranian area and the univeristy are right next door or just a few minutes walk away. Another big plus was the staff, especially Mrs. Müller and the receptionist from Columbia, who went above and beyond to make our stay the most convenient. We didnt manage to dine in the Olveto restaurant, since we had pre-organised dinners every evening, but will attempt to manage next time. The garage at 18 € per night may appear pricey to some, but it is definitely worth it, given how difficult it is to find a parking space in this area of Bonn. Overall, we had a very good stay, the views, the gentle staff and location prevail over the few small caveats we encountered during our visit. Whenever we come back to Bonn for an overnight stay, we will try to get a room at the Hotel Königshof, again.

Very centrally placed, but coming by car - this is a carfree zone( only pedestrians). Use the Markt Garage and you will be 50-60 m from the hotel( I had to call them and they were not very supportive to give us the tip about using this garage).... When I said I was outside ”marktgarage” then they told me. This information should be printed on the hotel pages. Room: Ok in an old hotel. Airconditon? No - which is not good enough when the summer gives us around 25-30 degrees C in the night. Breakfast: Nothing special( in France or elsewhere in Germany we paid around 10-11 EUR). Here they demanded 19 EUR !!!!! Horrible. Just skip it and go outside - there are cafees just outside and you pay from 6 - 12 EUR depending on what you want.

This modern hotel backs on to Bonn main railway station, a few minutes walk from the tourist sites in the centre of town, and on the edge of a lovely historic residential district which includes the botanic gardens which are well worth visiting. There is a ”green” supermarket next door to the hotel, and a good bakery across the road. So an excellent location overall. Rooms are quite spacious, beds comfortable, large TV. No coffee making facilities. One gets a Bonn travel card for the duration of one's stay: which is a nice addition. The one significant downside is that one does hear quite a bit of noise from the trains and the station. More than in some other hotels we have stayed in that back on to railway stations. My partner slept well, I did not. Freight trains went past every 15 minutes or so throughout the night. Bizarrely, when I had asked on the first day about a possible room change to the road side of the building (10 euros more, to *business class”) I was told there were no trains at night! Would I stay again if visiting Bonn? Probably yes. I would try the rooms on the road side.

The moment the door was opened, there was a wow sound, great! It is recommended to add 25 Euros to upgrade the suite (with kitchen) due to bringing children. The extra bed is a double bed spread out by a double sofa, super stable! The child had a fever originally scheduled to check out at 11 o'clock, the front desk was very user-friendly and added two hours to check out at 13 o'clock. Later, I went to rest on the sofa in the lobby and was greeted and helped by the managers (to take medicine to help ask the doctor). The hotel is 10 minutes away from the cathedral and Beethoven’s house and 7 minutes away from the railway station. 15 minutes from the University of Bonn. Did not take a taxi on this day. There is parking lot. Breakfast is relatively simple.

I can't speak highly enough of the excellent and friendly service we received from the managers at this hotel. They went out of their way to accommodate us - 2 coachfuls of Scouts (83 people) for one night at 3 hours notice! They were very patient with the multiple requests for WiFi codes, help with vending machines etc, and the noise and mess that such a big group of kids inevitably brings. They even helped us order delivery pizza and let us use the dining room to eat it. On top of that, the rooms were clean and functional although basic. The showers were hot and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was very good...even marbled eggs decorated for Easter! I would stay here again if visiting the area or passing through and needing a pitstop.

The conference hotel Seminaris in Bad Honnef was built in 1986 and offers 211 rooms over 5 floors. There are 18 large meeting rooms, restaurant, bar, swimming pool and sauna. Staffs are friendly and welcoming. In the lobby of the hotel there is a stele of a mounted Roman soldier. At walking distance you find the Rhine River and the Drachsenfels where Siegfried – the hero of the Nibelungen – killed the dragon Fáfnir. Our room was adequately furnished and decorated with desk, chair & safe, flat-screen TV and wardrobe. We had a good twin bed, and a separate bathroom with toilet, washroom & shower. All was clean. The window can be open but has no mosquito screen. Free Wi-Fi Internet. No free coffee & tea nor free parking. The buffet breakfast is OK with ample variety: powder based scrambled eggs, cold cuts, bread and rolls, juices, cereals, fruit, milk, yoghurt, fruit juice, tea & coffee. The atmosphere in the Seminaris hotel is conference & business style and we had an OK stay.

Our honeymoon trip took us here for the first night. We wanted to stop in Cologne to see some sights the next morning, This was a perfect location just off the motorway, and only 20 minutes back in to Cologne. When we arrived, the staff member that saw us in was pleasant, satisfactory English, but seemed to lack any personality, like she was bored. The restaurant in the hotel was closed when we arrived, when we queried this, we were told its a breakfast only facility. I asked for some recommendations for the local area to get some dinner, I was handed an A4 sheet with multiple eateries. My Wife and I like to read some reviews before going, and found only a couple out of the whole list was on Google or Trip Advisor, so not the most helpful. OK if your not bothered though. Dimitri Grill up the road, about 20 minute walk, I highly recommend this place! (Reviewed separately) The room was pleasant, odd shape, clean and comfortable. It had a safe, sofa and chairs, bed was hard, which was nice. The shower was amazing, could have stayed in there all day. The room however was only made up for one person, we had to call down to get more bedding and towels. These turned out to be single duvets only. The hotel don't stock double or king, only singles. There was a coffee and tea facilities however the kettle is only useable under the wall mounted TV, so the steam and heat goes in to the TV, the coffee was not nice at all, and again was only made up to be enough for one. Car park was odd, its free to get in with a barrier that goes up automatically when you move towards it, however to get you need a token from reception to leave. The staff did remind us of this, however there was no check on if we were guests or not. If your a light sleeper due to light, take an eye mask as the curtains are as thin as cotton. If your looking for a pamper, or some fluffy stuff, this is not the hotel. This is purely a business hotel, or a bed and go kind of hotel.
