This property was fantastic. I was looking for a reasonably priced hotel very near the train station and you can't beat the location of this property. I was warmly greeted by the staff, who even offered a nice hot cup of coffee. The reception area is large, comfortable, and was playing some great music. It's a fun atmosphere. My room was just what I needed, the floor was quiet, and the next day the staff kindly allowed us to store our bags for a few hours so we could explore the Christmas market before our train. I really enjoyed my stay and hope one day to have the chance to return.
The hostel is in a great location, a few minutes walk to the train station and a 20 minutes walk to the Cathedral. We had a quad room which was pretty tight and room could use deep cleaning.
So smelly, the mattress got a hole and so uncomfortable. The room was suffocating. I couldn’t stay 10min. I just abondes the room and booked another hotel
Good value Vs quality ratio. Staff friendly and efficient. Room has all you need.

Great location, excellent value for money too. Staff were very helpful, rooms are basic but of a good standard and very clean. Hostel is perfect for a weekend trip to Aachen or for business.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
A very poor choice unfortunately. Good I only needed one night in Aachen. Never again here.
Location is perfect if you come/go to the train station. Outside of that the hotel is very basic and charmless. Staff was rude at night, morning staff was nicer.
Got an amazing price at last minute and sharing a room with strangers,so can’t really complain.Location was convenient for walking i to town centre but parking nearby expensive and meters until 2100 hrs.
However room was really noisy as no sound proofing so could hear station announcements and I think there were three groups of Schoolchildren staying there.luckily I was leaving early but would have been Impossible to sleep after 0600 when the railway station came to life
Young gentleman acting as Barman/receptionist seemed very put out if people asked fir anything other than a drink -not friendly.

Not to family friendly.
Very intimidating place to arrive after dark. Alcohol, tatoos and a bar atmosphere at check in made It Awkward for my family. Nice bakery down the street though!
