The location was an easy walk from the train station and just a half block from the Porta Nigra and the old town section of Trier. The room was clean and fresh. Breakfast was excellent. The woman who managed the breakfast room was friendly and efficient and there was a variety of food offered. The breakfast room was attractive and pleasant. The only significant negative: During our stay the elevator was not available. Some visitors might be disturbed because there was not a 24-hour desk clerk but we were given a key to enter the building.

“Fine”

nothing spectacular to this hotel. Well priced and very close to both centre and train station. Rooms are ok, nothing exceptional. The decor is doubtful but ok for a night. Service was welcoming and friendly.

“Disappointing ”

Great location, just a few steps from the Porta Negra. We decided on this hotel on the strength of the previous great reviews. Our expectations therefore were quite high and our experience didn’t match. It was an okay stay but fairly ordinary. We booked on the hotel’s website. You can’t pay online… more

Great location, just a few steps from the Porta Negra. We decided on this hotel on the strength of the previous great reviews. Our expectations therefore were quite high and our experience didn’t match. It was an okay stay but fairly ordinary. We booked on the hotel’s website. You can’t pay online so a reservation was sent and I smartly received a confirmation email and a phone call a few minutes later. The check in process was fast. The room was a decent size, was tidy and clean, and had everything but looked a bit dated, from the 1980s. The worst bit was the smell emanating from the bathroom, like old drains. There’s no one on reception in the evenings to report it to and luckily by morning the smell had gone. We did mention it on the way out though. Our room was very quiet and we slept well. We had no view of the Porta Negra (we hadn’t expected one but there are apparently rooms which do have a side view). The WiFi is dreadful: we finally gave up on it. I managed to get a connection after trying many times but the signal was so weak that I couldn’t use it. We didn’t go for breakfast (an extra €12.50 each) nor for the parking (an extra €10. We’ve stayed at other hotels in Trier in the past which have been better so are unlikely to go back to this hotel.

While the staff were friendly and the location very handy (about 100m away) to the Porta Nigra and other highlights of Trier, the hotel to us was average.

While the staff were friendly and the location very handy (about 100m away) to the Porta Nigra and other highlights of Trier, the hotel to us was average. Breakfasts were very good and had a wide range of options and set you up well for the days exploring ahead. Whilst the room was clean, we did find it on the warm side and opening the window resulted in street noise. There is a supermarket next door which was rather handy for supplies. All in all, an average hotel, nothing special but not bad either.
