亞琛Benediktinerabtei Kornelimünster附近酒店

We were nicely surprised by this new (or recently refurbished?) family-run hotel. It is very cozy, laid out in a ”motel” style where each room is entered from either the courtyard or a courtyard balcony. We did not use the swimming pool but its use was offered. The courtyard garden and surroundings are beautifully kept and fit well with quite picturesque neighbourhood of Eynatten. There are five restaurants within a walking distance if you happen to arrive, like us, on Sunday night when the hotel restaurant is closed. The breakfast was very good and when there was a slight confusion as to the time the brakfast started, the family started running around and managed to start the breakfast within minutes after our (early) arrival to the breakfast room. The location close to the highway makes it a nice place to stop on a long journey.

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!

經濟型飯店：房間乾淨，你需要的一切都有，但不要期待任何奢華。由於房間很大，最好有一張更大的桌子和合適的椅子（而不是簡單的凳子）。浴室裡應該有一個放浴巾的地方。對於經濟型飯店來說，Breakfirst 很不錯：咖啡很好喝，還有水果沙拉。我希望他們也有羊角麵包。總的來說，我可以推薦這家飯店在亞琛住幾天。位置非常方便。

酒店服務意識不強，我的洗麪奶在淋浴房不異而飛，打了幾次電話前台，似乎無所謂。但酒店的歺廳不錯，食物美味，價格也可以。去亞琛應該是不錯的選擇。

畢竟是五星級，硬件不錯。房間夠大，早餐也夠豐富，尤其服務人員親切友好。地下停車場非常方便，過夜16歐，白天隨便進出幾次都按16歐算。唯一就是沒有醫療急救包，小孩摔了一跤沒有消毒水。。。。附近有一個公園，小孩很喜歡。

性價比超高。衹是位置離開亞琛市中心略遠，適合開車的入住。即使在疫情期間也提供相對完整的服務。早餐改為點菜的類型也相當合理。

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.

This is a very nice place and probably we would stay again. It is in a historic building and that comes with certain quirks. The biggest thing to know is it’s not for people who are physically limited. You don’t park near the entrance and there are no elevators to the room. Everything has steps and there is no assistance offered, so unless you get a ground floor room you are toting your bags up the narrow steps. We are fully able so it wasn’t a problem. The grounds are gorgeous and the staff generally very nice and helpful. It’s a bit odd though as it combines high luxury with low frills, such as no help with bags. They seemed a bit understaffed. The food is great but expensive if you dine in. Not unreasonable for the food but high for every day dining. Overall the stay was very good but a bit on the expensive side. One oddity was we wanted to stay an extra night ( we emailed a few weeks ahead and got no reply) and when we inquired as we checked in were told they had a room but they couldn’t book us at the front desk we had go online. We decided to move on.

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.
