We had a great room in this Aachen hotel for my wife, teenaged twins, and myself. The room was comfortable and clean with a double bed and 2 twin beds. There was a small kitchenette that allowed us to prepare some light meals. And rare for a hotel in this price range--the room was air conditioned. The bath had a jacuzzi tub. We had a rental car and had no problem finding the hotel from the directions on their web site. We parked in the hotel's outside parking lot. The hotel is located within a 10 minute walking distance from the Aachener cathedral. Breakfast was not included but a bakery was a 2 minute walk from the hotel entrance and we ate in the room. Combining the excellent rate per night and the quality of the room, this was one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Aachen was the seat of the Holy Roman Empire during Charlemagne's time and is worth a visit just for that. It is 45 minutes by Autobahn from Cologne-- we managed a day trip to see the Cologne cathedral. I highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are travelling with your teenaged children.

Nice hotel. Modern decoration. Clean. Tidy. Friendly staff. Small room. Good location.

I've spent a nights at the Best Western Royal Hotel in Aachen and I have to say that I wasn't overly impressed. The first room which was allocated to me was tiny and only had a single bed and was right next to the lift shaft. After spending one night in there, I requested to be moved (which all credit to the staff, they did) and I was moved to a suite out in the back, which was at least a decent size. The breakfast was nothing exceptional and there wasn't much of a choice and there is no restaurant in the hotel. I'm not too sure how it got it's 4 stars, because in my opinion it was a 3 star at best.
