Hotels near Campingplatz Josef‘s Ruh, Rhein-Sieg-Kreis

We stayed at the Friendly Cityhotel Oktopus as a stop over on a long drive across Europe. We were towing a long glider trailer so parking was an issue. Some weeks before our journey, I e-mailed the hotel to ask if they could provide parking for a car towing a ten metre trailer. I got no response. Looking at Google maps, I could see that there was parking alongside the site so I went ahead and booked. When we arrived at the hotel, we parked by mistake in the cul de sac outside the front of the hotel. That presented a problem in turning the trailer. We found that the reception staff were polite and efficient but failed to go that extra mile. Eventually we parked on the school bus stop adjacent to the hotel. The school busses only run in the weekdays and we were for a Saturday night only. I had to ask for a ticket from the reception to park the car. None was offered. There was no restaurant open so we went down the road to a Vietnamese restaurant. I fancied a beer when I got back to the hotel but was firmly told that the bar closes at ten. The lady who was the night porter would not sell a drink. Again, not impressed. The room itself was a little strange. The double bed was extremely comfortable but was placed up against a wall so the person on the left of the bed had to crawl over the person on the right if they needed the loo or whatever in the night. Not ideal. Breakfast was okay with face coverings rigorously enforced. Check out was efficient and as expected. Would I stay there again? Very probably not. There was nothing actually terrible about the place but we both felt that they did the absolute minimum for their visitors.

Hôtel dans la grande banlieue de Cologne. Situé au dessus de la gare , on rejoint facilement les villes de Cologne, Bonn ou Coblence ou l aéroport de Cologne / Bonn Chambres / locaux impeccables rien à dire , literie ok. J avais pris l option late Check out donc la possibilité de quitter la chambre à 14h00. J avais mis le fanion « do not disturb » , ma femme de chambre est venue frapper à la porte à 10h30 et elle est revenue une heure plus tard, cela m a réveillé !!!!! Je ne comprends pas pourquoi on prend des options à la réservation qu elle ne soit pas prise en considération. Éviter les chambres côté de la voie de chemin de fer un peu bruyantes Bien penser à réserver le parking accessible par la rampe fermé et sécurisé situé à l arrière de l hôtel

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.

It was awesome. Everything was good - nice Appartement in the middle of Bonn and a perfect support from Bob during the whole stay. Th breakfast locations were super. Thank you Bob!

This Marriott is located near the river, with nie walking paths nearby. It is easy to drive to, on the outskirts of the city of Bonn, and very near a metro station. The parking garage is large and easy to navigate. There are no nearby resturants (other than the overpriced one in the hotel)....a Vapianos and one other place, named ”Different” are the next closest at about a 15-20 minute walk away and no grocery stores close enough to easily walk to. This is our second stay here and in both cases Lieferando orders took FOREVR to get to us and involved lost drivers. We saw two other guest parties having similar delivery issues this stay. The front desk staff are very friendly and professional. Check in and out went smoothly. The executive lounge is spacious and recently renovated. Food and drink offerings and service were less than most Marriotts in Germany. There are only peanuts and gummy candies during the day. Plus water (if someone has refilled it, it was empty almost as often as full), coffee and a soda fountain with Pepsi products. Evening cocktail hour adds juices, wines and beer, NO ice brought in for the sodas (we did flag someone down the first night and ask for it, it was brought about half an hour later, but the staff seem so busy we didn't feel comforatble asking again). Lounge staff never greet guests or offer any service, only come to refill food or drinks in the self serve area or bus tables from time to time. Snacks are defintely that, snacks, most Marriott lounges you can make a light meal out of the offerings, not this one (ironic given how little other meal options are nearby). The main offering was soup nightly (plus a VERY small salad and cheses selection and one meat based starter each night). The soup alternated between cauliflower or potato nightly. The gym is large and a highlight of the property. Lots of equipment and all in good shape. Housekeeping is below expectations. Our room was missed one day, dirty glasses (all placed togehter on one dresser) were never removed (there were 14 at the end of the week), lotion not refilled, etc. However the major cleaning was done, and towels were actually left to be reused when we hung them up, which was nice. There was an ice bucket in the room but the only way to get ice was to call for room service. They really need to add an ice machine to the shop area like so many other marriotts in Germany are doing. The bed was confotable and the room fairly well layed out overall. One final gripe: the TVs are enclosed in a wood frame to keep people from plugging a device into them to stream. OK, I am sure too many people damage TVs doing that, BUT this hotel also fails to offer streaming, or log in options diretcly on the TV, etc. Most any good hotel these days finds a way to let you stream your content on the in room TV and lacking that, plus the only channels available being basic German ones, really felt like somthing was missing. Overall it is more good

The following is a purely subjective review: - It is a hotel that is a little more difficult to find at the moment. We have passed almost twice at the entrance. Very fast Check Inn with - in our case - very friendly and very customer-oriented receptionist. A later complaint (*) was immediately handled and solved to our satisfaction. - Booked room: Comfort room with free deep garage parking. Good and smoothly functioning free Wi-Fi with sufficient connectivity in the room. A room safe would have been nice. Unfortunately we have not found a safe. Very large flat screen TV. Small balcony with two chairs to the indoor. In the night it was very quiet despite open balcony door. The balcony door was equipped with an electric sun rollo. There was a large whole body wall spiegel with about 100 cm diameter. Unfortunately there were little deposition areas. Confortable double bed with each reading spot left and right. Bad/WC with a disabled and old-age-fit shower with shower hanging. Satirical note to the bath: The toilet top (too high) was fitted for giants and the washing basin (very deep) appeared to be for eggs. - Breakfast: We believed that quality and quantity were all right. (*1) On one day we received no room service until 15:00. After we had advertised this, we received a 5 Euro Drink voucher in compensation.

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.

We booked the hotel as a accommodation after 100 km Rhine-Ahr-March. We needed just a bed and a shower, but were very positively surprised. All were very friendly (also in the forefront of the booking). I mentioned in the pre-emption that I feed vegan and whether it is possible to get some soya milk at breakfast (I don't assume that it is available at such small hotels). The nice gentleman on the phone connected me to the kitchen. The friendly Lord had not really a vegan idea but promised to explore. My expectations were really overcome when I then in the morning as the ”vegan” outete I was given extra own soya milk bought for me, as well as bread and a vegan cut. Also there was a banana only for me. Otherwise there were curry and tomatoes, as well as sheep flocks and corn flakes and fruit. It was really super nice. You felt very welcome. :-) If we wanted to walk 100 km again next year, Or even once we're in Rheinbach would certainly come back.
