亞琛Brunnen an St. Germanus附近住宿

A nice hotel in Aachen, it is quite modern designed, the room is quite big compare to the German traditional hotel. But it is pity that I had a very hot June in German this time, we need air conditioner!

We stayed at this hotel for 10 days while helping our son move to Aachen from a different part of Germany. The location of the hotel is extremely convenient as it is only a 5 minute walk from the train station, and about 15 minute walk to both our son's new apartment in the Frankenberger neighborhood and also to the old town. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Panayoti who spoke very good English and explained all the charges on our hotel bill clearly. The breakfast offered a variety of healthy choices and fresh baked goods and was reasonably priced. The hotel felt very safe both in terms of Covid precautions and security at night time when returning late. The only thing I felt was not quite up to my expectations were the flat pillows and firm beds. I prefer fluffier pillows and a softer bed, but it was comfortable enough for the length of our stay. When I return to Aachen, I will not hesitate to book a stay at this hotel again.

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.

The location of the hostel is very convenient but has a lot of downsides as well. It is near the station, which also means a lot of train/railway noise (a bit less during the night). Also, there was a Punk club/party happening next door that caused a lot of noise during the weekend and not a nice atmosphere outside the hostel door. The female dorm was okay, but the shared bathroom was not cleaned properly. The common areas, like the lobby and kitchen, are not well maintained.

接待是正確的,房間很驚喜,衛生間充足,大室,整體看起來很乾淨,有一點點注意,一窗不好,用破鐵關上。早餐有足夠的選擇 我最後的判斷是 你在中央有一間非常好的房間 站在中央

由於7月中旬在阿肯舉行工作會議,參觀了阿肯高級藝術酒店!位置非常安靜,離中心不遠!我們有一個大公寓大小和風格的房間,房間周圍有一個巨大的陽台!服務非常還可以,前台功能很好!他們室內有泳池,但我們入住期間沒有看到真的有人利用!我估計,大概是因爲不是很誘人!正常早餐不錯,工作人員禮貌!如果還需要再去亞玩,我會住在同一家酒店!!!

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.

Kamer was echt heel erg mooi, modern, ruim. Wel wat warm maar er is airco. Wellness is prima, Finse en infra rood sauna en stoomcabine. Zwembad heerlijk ontspannend, al had de bejaardengym incl schlagermuziek niet gehoeven voor ons. Avond eten was prima, uitgebreid salade buffet. Alleen erg erg druk, alleen al kwartier gewacht om binnen te komen, geen communicatie, voelt niet echt welkom. Met ontbijt idem, lang moeten wachten voor er plek was, en dan tien man voor je bij de koffie automaat. Dat was echt enige grote minpunt. Verder is het een heel mooi hotel, vriendelijke medewerkers.

Een verblijf in Kasteel TerWorm is echt een belevenis. Vanaf het moment dat je het terrein oprijdt, voel je de bijzondere sfeer. Het kasteel heeft een prachtige tuin, waardoor je direct in een heerlijke “relaxmodus” komt. De service is top. Het personeel is vriendelijk en professioneel, ze zorgen ervoor dat je je van harte welkom voelt. Het eten in het restaurant was een hele culinaire belevenis. De gerechten waren creatief en elk bord was een plaatje. De wijnkeuze was uitstekend, inclusief deskundig advies van de sommelier. TerWorm geeft een unieke ervaring waarbij luxe, comfort en gastronomie samenkomen. Het is de ideale plek voor wie op zoek is naar een speciaal uitje. Absolute aanrader!!
