First let me say that the proprietor is super, super nice, helpful, and friendly. We swapped biers (he gave me a local landbier; I gave him a great keller bier) on our second night there.

However, our room was a bit oddly laid out and furnished. We were in #3 on the first floor with a view of the bakside of the rotes haus. The bed was comfortable, the room large, but the bathroom was tiny and the bathroom door and wall into the room is made of glass. Not good for me as I love darkness when sleeping. Once my wife awoke and was in the bathroom the light brightened the entire room. The shower was tiny but nicely redone with granite walls. But it was so, so small. I can deal with the small size but the light shining into the bed area was really bad. Plus, from the left side of the bed, getting to the bathroom was kinda difficult as the space between the bed and corner wall was pretty small. I had to kinda feel my way along the wall, turn, turn again, then into the bathroom.

Disappointingly, I'd requested a room with 1/2 timbering and was told (understandably) that not all rooms are timbered and it would depend on occupancy. Totally understandable. But on our first night there the hotel had only two room occupied. The second night had four occupied. Had the hotel been nearly full I wouldn't even mention this. But it was pretty empty both nights.

Breakfast, on the other hand, was fantastic. The breads, meats, and cheeses were all fresh (definitely not from Aldi/Lidl or the like) and more than plentiful. We were even offered to take the leftovers with us for lunch (we declined). The breakfast was very, very good.

Location of the hotel is great. But Monschau is a tiny village so everything is within 500 meters of the hotel regardless.

Lovely proprietor but the room was very basic. If we were to return to Monschau for another overnight we'd likely opt for a ferienwohnung haus (self catered flat) instead of the Burg Hotel.
