We had a 2 night stay at this lovely boutique hotel in Trier. Excellent location in the heart of Trier with the sights and restaurants/bars all within easy walking distance. Parking was in a public car park just a short walk from the hotel. Superb bedroom with a very comfortable bed, good pillows, fluffy towels, bathrobes and a wide range of toiletries. A bowl of fruit, some chocolates and bottled water awaited us in our room on arrival. We were on the second floor in a room with a bay window overlooking the street. This was one of the best hotel bedrooms we have ever stayed in and we are seasoned travellers! Breakfast buffet was excellent with a good variety of fresh fruit and continental style offering. Eggs, in any form, were cooked to order. All washed down with fresh juice or Alsace fizz and plenty of coffee/tea. We had dinner in the cellar restaurant one night. Superb food and excellent service by the waiting staff. All of the staff were very professional, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. If we return to Trier we would certainly stay here again. Highly recommended

When you go to a 4* hotel, you expect a certain level of quality such as having a fridge in the room and air con (all requirements for an international 4* . We were in the best room possible (bar the suite) and had none of the above, nor a kettle. The lack of amenities is disappointing and misleading (although I do not know if the star classification for Germany says that there needs to be aircon/fridge/tea/coffee making facilities.) When we arrived we were disappointed to find that this hotel is located in an industrial area. You have to drive between 2 car garages to get there. It does overlook a nice park but I pity the people who had car park view and view of the job centre opposite (approx half the hotel.) It seems the rooms are very hit and miss. A huge proportion will be on the car park side/job centre) side and the more expensive rooms will overlook the park. But the ones in the souterrain (basement) overlooking the park look like they might be quite dark. Our room had a nice balcony and was nicely furnished but we paid a lot to have this. The spa area is nice but lots of it is outdoors (i.e. to get to the relax room and one of the saunas you have to go outside.) We did not try breakfast. I feel the management should manage expectations and downgrade it to a 3* (at least for non-German travellers).

Hotel Porta Nigra has a great location very close to the famous Roman gate and the old city. Unfortunately, if you book on Expedia you are told that the hotel has parking, but not that you have to book it separately. So we arrived and were told there was no hotel parking available and that we would have to pay Euro 15 per night to use the public parking at the Mercure nearby. I don't blame the hotel, but this should have been clear on the Expedia site. Be prepared and contact the hotel in advance if you want to use their parking facilities. We had a spacious family apartment on the ground floor - large and spacious with a kitchenette and dining table, fridge. Great. Unfortunately the hotel Wifi only extends one metre inside the room, so you can only access it from the bathroom or from the coat cupboard. This is rather annoying as you can imagine Breakfast was fine but the coffee maker used powdered milk rather than fresh so you are better off avoidingh the cappuccino and latte options from the machine. Housekeeping service was minimal. Front desk staff are friendly.

Small hotels in small towns, the whole town is within an hour’s walk, so even if the hotel is slightly remote (on the other side of the river), it does not affect too much. The heating in the room is relatively good, and the attitude of the waiter is the same as the arrogant German. Anyway, if the positioning is a budget hotel, the requirements are not particularly high, not bad.

The apartment is in a great location, directly in the second row of a residential complex on the Moselle. The apartment is very nice, new and tastefully furnished. A very well-equipped kitchenette was available. Vinegar/oil, salt/pepper shakers were available. There is a bakery right next to the house entrance. We were travelling by bike and so the location of the apartment was perfect for exploring the wine region. Beds are comfortable, bathroom has a hairdryer, shampoo and soap were also available. Towels were also available. We felt very comfortable. The only small downside is that there was hair in the bathroom from previous guests and that a little more love should have been put into cleaning the apartment in general. It is unpleasant to come across other people's paper waste. The dust on the bathroom lamp was unfortunately impossible to miss. The cleaner should have noticed that.
