The Art hotel was one of our choices for traveling to the Carolus Thermen spa. Not very far from it and great place to come back after a relaxing day at the Spa. Room had air-conditioning at the entrance but wasn't a discomfort.
Good points:
- Quiet neighborhood
- Big, comfortable bed
- Parking is free nearby

Bad points:
- Not a hotel for visiting Aachen by foot
- No Free Breakfast

I stayed in this hotel for two nights and it is a good choice for visiting Aachen. The bedroom and bathroom look nice and are comfortable. A minor complaint is that there is no airconditioning, but you can open the doors to the terrace. The room has a kitchenette with a large fridge, which was very convenient for keeping drinks and fruit. The hotel offers parking in their garage for EUR 6 a night, but don't bother: you can easily park your car on the street. It is a residential area, so it feels safe to do so. We had breakfast on one out of the two mornings we were there (EUR 15 per person) and it as good: there was a great choice of hot and cold dishes and products. Location of the hotel is out of the centre of town, in a residential area and it is quite a long walk (I would estimate over one hour). We didn't bother to find out about public transportation, but just took our car to go into town, which we then parked in the Rathaus Parking near city hall and the Dom. This is ok for two days, but if you are like us and you want to return to your hotel after a day of sightseeing to freshen up before going into town again for dinner, it would become a hassle after some time. I guess I would prefer to be more in the centre of town, but you cannot beat the value for money this hotel has going for it. I would probably book this hotel again if returning to Aachen.

We were travelling to Bavaria and chose Aachen as a convenient place to stopover. We had read the reviews and also had spoken to friends who had previously stayed there. Our room was very large and impressive. The bathroom was excellent. We were also travelling with our 15 year old grandson and his friend and their room was like a suite. The boys made good use of the swimming pool, which was small but very nice. We enjoyed our stay, slept well and were pleased with our choice. The restaraunt looked very nice but as we had travelled a long way we felt like going into town. It is close enough to walk in about 20 minutes, although we went in the car. We did not have breakfast in the Hotel as it costs 15 euros and is too expensive. Overall a good and convenient Hotel for an overnight stay, or break if you want to explore the area.

I was a little apprehensive when I booked this hotel for business travel to a destination about 30 km. away. I normally stay in Cologne, but with a major convention going on there, rates were through the roof and nearly everything was booked. This hotel was a fraction of what it would cost to stay in Cologne during the same week so I decided to take a chance on it. I was pleasantly surprised after I checked in. The rooms are spacious with a separate lounge, bedroom, kitchenette, and terrace. In fact the rooms were enormous by continental standards. Everything is very modern and clean, rooms are nicely furnished, plenty of hot water, and a large and comfortable desk for those travelling for business. The hotel is on the edge of town in a rather quiet neighborhood, so if you are sightseeing or looking to go out on the town, I suppose a rental car or taxi would be needed. Breakfast was probably not quite up to four star standards, but there was plenty of food to choose from, and nothing specific to fault them on. All in all I would easily stay here again and certainly recommend it to anyone. Like most continental hotels I did have to pay for internet access, but the cost was well below average and the connection speed was really good.
