As a female solo traveler, this hostel was very close to the train which made travel easy and accessible. My only complaint was the bed options and the room layout. I was in a mixed room for 4, and the only options for sleep were literally next to a male or a top bunk which can be uncomfortable. it would make more sense b

Lage und Preis des Hotels sind top, allerdings ist es eben wegen der Lage am Bahnhof ziemlich laut. Gerade, weil es im Zimmer schnell recht warm wird und man unmöglich bei offenem Fenster schlafen kann ist das nicht optimal. Leider war auch das Badezimmer in keinem guten Zustand, insbesondere die Dusche. Insgesamt ist es für kurze Aufenthalte, gerade wenn man eher nicht so viel Zeit im Hotel verbringen möchte völlig okay. Insbesondere wenn man etwas Geld sparen möchte. Mehr aber auch nicht.

OK til prisen

Det lignede ikke, at det blev gjort rent særlig ofte. Der var ingen ting såsom gardiner, der kunne lukke den øverste køje af, så hvis folk kom sent hjem, fik man lys lige i ansigtet. Det ligger tæt på banegården, hvilket er fedt. Til gengæld er vinduerne på ingen måde lydtætte, så man kan høre alle tog køre forbi og alle meddelelser over højtalerne på banegården igennem hele aftenen og morgenen. Lidt træls, men også rigtig billigt.

Utrivelig rom

Negativt: Tristeste rommet jeg har sovet i noen gang. Grå vegger, mørkegrått tak, svarte lamper med gitter rundt, skarpt lys, tung lukt da kom inn i rommet, dårlig stemning. Selve hostellet var og ikke spesielt trivelig men kom om kvelden og dro tidlig morgenen etter. Ikke håndkler på rommet, kanskje vanlig på hostel, men kunne ha opplyst om det når reiser med barn og ikke er ungdomsbackpacker. Er mer vant til hotell men har bodd på hostel før uten å få dårlig inntrykk. Måtte gjøre nesten hele innsjekkingen selv, fylle inn pass osv, det er lite service etter en lang togreise som sikkert mange andre som bor der. Positivt: Veldig hyggelige vennlige ansatte i resepsjonen. Det var overraskende lite støy fra toget på en hverdagsnatt selv om rett v togstasjonen, sikkert pga ikke så mye tog kjører forbi Aachen om natta. Rent bad og ellers. Kort vei til toget. Men ikke et godt opphold for oss.

In die Jahre gekommen

Sind seit Eröffnung (waren mit die ersten Gäste im A&O Aachen) jedes Jahr einmal dort. Bei manchen Dingen kann man denken dass Personal keine Lust hat, zu arbeiten. Duschbefestigung recht locker, Duschtür wurde schon lange nicht mehr richtig gereinigt oder getauscht, Abflusssieb ebenfalls. Dass die zugigen Fenster in der heutigen Zeit noch so erlaubt sind? Fahrstuhl könnte auch mal richtig gereinigt werden.
