Hotels Near Geologisch monument Zandsteenblokken in Vaals

Absolutely fantastic staff. Could not do enough for their customers. Checking them in, serving beers, serving food. Only 2 staff members on a busy F1 weekend. Very hard working, a credit to the brand. Thank you ladies

A no-frills, nicely decorated, well located, clean hotel. Nothing bad to say (except that a more thorough take at cleaning the upper shelf of the wardrobe would be welcome). But everything else was really optimal. I did not need to interact with the staff at reception during my stay, so I can not report on that. The girl who checked me in was efficient and polite, and that was all the contact I had with the reception. I spent interesting evenings at the bar tasting several gins of their rich gin menu, and the two waiters I interacted with were very helpful and professional. I had a ”room with a view”, not the lowest price-range, and it was perfect for one person, although it was a double. The bed was indeed double, but the closet would have been on the small side for two people staying more than a couple of nights. If I have to point something out is the lack of a light curtain in addition of the thick, darkening curtain that the room had. If you did not want to be seen by neighbourghs in the building in front, the only option was to close the curtain, which was very effective in darkening completely the room. This at midday seemed a bit too radical. But the summary of my experience is that I will come back to this hotel if ever again in Aachen.

I spent three nights at the Hotel Regence, Aachen, in March 2024. I took a Queen Room on the fourth floor, which was fine for a short break. The multi-lingual staff were excellent, attentive, engaged and professional. Although the hotel does not offer an evening restaurant service, the staff recommended an Italian restaurant in town for supper. The hotel breakfast buffet was superb. Wifi is available throughout the hotel. I would happily stay in this hotel again.

I stayed for over a week at the Novotel in Aachen while on a business trip. The hotel is ideally situated next to a great shopping area. Parking is super easy and you need to use our card key to access the elevator. The same card key access is required to enter the lobby after hours. Seems very secure and safe. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. My room as an ”executive” room on the 4th floor, was on a corner and had floor to ceiling windows. What I liked: - Very quiet room - Comfortable bed - Mini-fridge with window and free daily drinks and snacks (5 Item selection including wine and beer) - Great desk setup with memory foam chair - Good TV with external HDMI input - Real glasses in the room - Bathroom wall mounted soap dispenser + other amenities - Nespresso machine with pods and cream To improve - WiFi, even though i was on the premium plan, the signal was weak to moderate - No USB ports - Water pressure just ok - Bathroom sink has not much counter space - AirCon only goes so low (perhaps 24/25?) as other reviewers have noted TIP: If you arrive on a Sunday to Aachen, almost everything is closed, however, towns in Netherlands are as close as a 20 minute drive and most stores are open from noon on Sunday

We stayed at the Mercure Aachen Europaplatz for one night in May 2023. This was an overnight stop on our Journey from the UK to Bonn. The hotel is in a good location, very close to the motorway and with easy access to Aachen. Check in was quick and very efficient. The staff where extremely helpful and pleasant and made us feel very welcome. We had 2 rooms including a disabled room. Both where very well laid out. Clean, Functional and very comfortable. The disabled room was a wet room style which was perfect for my sister with whom I was travelling. Plenty of space, and well laid out. The only downside if anything was that the bed was a little lower then expected. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, the food was very enjoyable, the staff extremely helpful especially with getting a table set up for a wheelchair and overall seemed to be good value. Breakfast was included in the morning but had very limited choices however this may have been as we arrived close to the finishing time. Overall this was a very nice hotel with easy access, good parking, friendly staff, nice rooms and offered good value. I would not hesitate to stay here again if i had the opportunity.

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.

The two stars is for the skiing facilities and a kind member of staff who filled a kettle with boiling water so I could have a cup of tea in the evening. The rest is not worth the money!! The rooms are over priced. We had a studio with 4 beds upstairs (one double, two twins) and sofa bed downstairs. The sofa bed cannot be used by friends as it’s right next to a toilet and shower with glass sliding doors, no privacy and you would be woken during the night with people going to the toilet right next to you. There is no kettle, tea/coffee in the room and the cafe doesn’t offer any take away hot drinks. Nor do they offer a selection of caffeine free teas so it’s impossible to have a drink whilst staying unless you have their limited range. The room isn’t serviced daily, strange for a hotel. The photos showed a desk, but there wasn’t one, might not be an issue for some but my children were revising for exams. Worst of all is the food. The cafe menu is full of ultra processed rubbish that comes from the freezer and the quality and taste is awful. If you are staying for a few days you are stuck with this menu as nothing else was open for lunch. Dinner - the hotel charged myself and my two children (aged 11 and 13) €33 each for a buffet dinner - €99 for 3. For this privilege we were offered a tray and 6 choices, to be served canteen style. This was rice, couscous, mixed veg, chicken, salmon or beef stew. Plus bread. Pudding was a few pears and oranges served whole and unpeeled and plain yoghurt you can spoon into a bowl. Not a buffet, this was a canteen with very limited choice, no puddings or icecream. No drinks except fruit cordial and water. When I complained to the staff that for €33 they should be offering some proper dessert options they said they would get some icecream from the cafe but then hid in the kitchen and didn’t come out for the rest of the service. I had to hunt down a staff member to order a glass of wine and was asked to pay for it before leaving. However when I left there were no staff insight and after 10 minutes I got fed up and left. I’ve no doubt it will be added to my bill of €99 even though they said it couldn’t be added to my bill and I would need to pay separately. €33!!! For one main. How can they justify that? The ski facilities are great and ‘some’ of the staff tried to be helpful but it’s clear there are serious failings in how the hotel is run. I won’t be returning and cannot wait to go home and enjoy some fresh food that’s not filled with UPF’s and costing €33 per plate

Really nice property so close to the city of Maastricht and Germany. The room was big and comfortable (only issue is that the room was really cold when we got in and this took several hours to take it back to around 20 degrees). Dinner and breakfast were great.

A beautiful building had a great and royal economic room, good shower facilities, staff at the reception were present, asked for a water cooker and immediately asked if we wanted cups and tea bags. We could be equipped with the Dutch Mountain Trail from here again.

Interesting, entertaining place! Efficient, friendly and satisfying… Car parking should be available closer by. The hotel itself is well designed. Please watch your TV channel list, half of channels are not available. Overall recommendable - Keep it up!
