Clean and a great price for a short stay
Rooms were clean. It was nice to be have a kitchen available to keep somethings cold in the fridge. Price was great for a quick stop in Aachen. We would stay there again.

Very Expensive for Below average Hostel
Price for a one night stay with a double bed was over $200 USD. The hotel and room was WAY over priced for the quality of facility and quality of room. Room was very plain with little to no decor. Felt more like an industrial service quarters. Hallways echoed loudly with every noise. Best feature of the facility was close proximity to Train station. It was less than a 5 minute walk to the station.

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!
