Art Hotel Aachen

Terrible, please STAY AWAY. I arrived, walked into the lobby and saw two persons behind the reception and no clients around. I stood in front of the reception for about 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged my presence. When they stopped playing on their phones they finally greeted me, with a fake smile and immediately began screaming at us "Wear a face mask right now, NOW, or LEAVE!" Once I began speaking English their fake smile went away and you can hear in their voice that they were not happy to force themselves to speak English, the language of the world. I asked if there's an issue with COVID and they said YES, told us TWO of their staff members TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID a few days ago. We were asked for 4 forms of ID, including Passport, Drivers License, and 2 credit cards (not sure why), and a copy of my rental car registration (again - not sure why). The 2 rooms we ordered were not what was advertised. We ordered 2 Twin beds (or 2 Double Bed) per room but were given 1 Twin bed ONLY. When confronted, we were told "you'll take what we give you, and if you don't like it YOU CAN LEAVE". Once inside, the rooms, furniture, Television, Bath Room were old and outdated. The hot water did NOT work so we couldn't take a shower! The room heater made terrible noise, so much that we couldn't sleep half the night. The bed sheets were DIRTY, blood stains and some kind of protein stains! The pool was CLOSED, Breakfast was NOT replenished, and laundry machines broken. STAY AWAY!

Small, cosy hotel with a good service. Outside of the hustle of city centre.

We stayed here twice in two week on our way and way back from Germany. We stayed in 6 different hotels and this was definitely the best. Staff were nice and helpful, it was the only hotel to offer a restaurant in the evening. Great breakfast buffet. Free parking, free WiFi. Would stay again.
