Book Riesel hotels

We left Paderborn 20 years ago so this was a chance to revisit nostalgia and spend a few days at the Christmas markets. Art Hotel was a super choice because it had thatxreal individual gaste stube feel and everythingwas as you would expect. Definitely recommended.

Perfectly good place for an overnight stay. 7 mins walk from station; 10-15 to city centre. I didnt have breakfast (€12.90) as i needed to be sure of getting a fairly early train. (No wake up calls avaiable now phones have disappeared from roims.) As usual on the Continent, no kettle etc in room, though i did spot one vacated room that DID have this facility - 'premium' rate?

New option in Paderborn is welcome. GREAT location with modern rooms and nice to have restaurant in hotel. Breakfast was solid, those that want great variety might be somewhat disappointed but all the normal “German Breakfast” elements were there. Coffee was good. Things in need of improvement… No hooks. Room, bathroom and entryway lack hooks that would be nice to have. The towel pegs in bathroom are on back wall of shower so you can’t use while showering otherwise the things you hung would get wet. Shower is the dreaded open ended one, so be sure to get two floor mats, one to stop the water from running into main part of bathroom and one dry one to stand on at sink. I hate this trend of the open shower and in my room’s case, the water that made it to back of shower area rolled right out into main floor area (poor quality from their tile contractor). Blinds in my room only went down 80% of the way and being a hotel on a busy intersection made it uncomfortable that people could look right up into my room. I had to use the bedspread and chair to make a visual block so I could have full privacy. Wardrobe is fully open and feels like a piece that would be in a (nice) hostel. I ended up leaving my socks and underwear in my suitcase as only having open, flat shelves was not fully suitable. Only one outlet on each side of bed. Had to unplug small reading lamp to plug in my phone charger. Seems poorly thought through.

Superb place, absolutely pristine, great facilities and service, very helpful English-speaking staff. Spacious room, very comfy bed and nice duvets.

Thank you for a great stay

As good as always
