Unfortunately, this is exactly what we got for €18 a night. Four of us stayed in a room from Friday to Sunday. The mattresses are simply thin foam mattresses and very uncomfortable. …

Unfortunately, I had to adjust my positive review after the current experiences with A&O Aachen.The size of the family room is not acceptable. Between the bed and the wall 30 cm, between the beds 100 cm. Unfortunately, apart from the double bed and the loft bed, nothing else goes into this room.I wonder why people would clutter up a small room like that? Then rather a double bed and satisfied guests.We had booked two nights but left after one. Too bad!Actually good experiences with this A&O so far. The gentleman at reception Markus Looser or similar. couldn't and didn't want to help! Great service, thank you very much for that too!Two years ago!Weekend trip in a family room with top marks. Clean, large room for four people at a good A&O price. All facilities work perfectly here (unfortunately not always at A&O). Great friendly staff at reception and good breakfast, the organization is also good here. Overall, a successful trip. With a bit of effort we even found a parking space.

The room walls are always marked with suitcase prints, obviously there is a heavy circulation of people.The room is small. If the goal is just to lie down, there is no problem.There is no free parking around. On-road/street parking is available and is free between 21-07. Afterwards it's 3€ per hour!The hotel is old, but the bathroom and toilet were very clean. The sheets were also clean.For this price, this service is actually quite good.
