Hotel Haus Kastanienhof

“Comfortable accomodation near the Old Town”

Most people would not know that Mülheim in the German (formerly) industrial Ruhr area does have an Old Town, or Altstadt in German. Still, it exists. It's quite small and close to the shopping malls from the 1950s and 1960s. And it's the place to go if you are looking for a nice traditional pub or … more

Most people would not know that Mülheim in the German (formerly) industrial Ruhr area does have an Old Town, or Altstadt in German. Still, it exists. It's quite small and close to the shopping malls from the 1950s and 1960s. And it's the place to go if you are looking for a nice traditional pub or good restaurant. Haus Kastanienhof (Chestnut Mansions) is at walking distance close to the Old Town, not more than 10 minutes, although it is quite a steep climb when returning to the hotel after a night of eating and drinking out. The place itself is clean, rooms are comfortable and not that small, considering the price. The breakfast buffet is of a high standard, with fresh fruit, several sorts of cheese etc. Both the owner and the staff are very friendly.

The single bed was interesting. The matress keeps sliding off the bed when you sat on the edge. and the pillow was very big, about the size of 2 average UK pillows but was as soft as jelly (no exaggeration).The location was predominantly suburban and extremely quiet. I care not for continental breakfast but that is included in the price.

“Friendly staff but seems more like a pension than hotel”

First impression of the hotel was not so good, as there is an unpleasant smell upon arrival. Some areas smell more of cigarette smoke than others.

First impression of the hotel was not so good, as there is an unpleasant smell upon arrival. Some areas smell more of cigarette smoke than others. We stayed with a group, some single rooms, some double. The double rooms are spacious, the singles have barely space around the beds from a mix of stories I was told. The rooms are very clean. Breakfast was the average German spread, but always looked fresh and well cared for. We did eat at the restaurant one evening for dinner, and it was painfully slow, expensive, and average. However, the staff is friendly.
