This hotel totally takes advantage of the fact there is no other dwelling available in the close proximity of Kornelimunster, so they overcharge everything. For one night stay we payed over 100$ euros for a room on the highest floor with no elevator. Place is pretty old and floors squeak very loudly so you can hear everyone walking. Rooms are clean, however for over 100 euros you don’t even get complimentary drink. Although we mentioned through booking.com that our flight will be landing late, staff was not there on time and we ended up waiting outside in the cold. Not impressed. Staff speaks minimal to no English so it’s hard to communicate. Nice view though.

We had a suite. But there the idea stops. Room was huge with a small kitchen and a sofa area and a separate bedroom at the back what was perfect for sleeping. But the room was not ok cleaned.  …

The zur Abtei Hotel is a very good hotel in a historic building which was recently renovated. The hotel offers a gourmet dinner as part of an accomodation package. It is conveniently located not too far from Aachen if you have a car. …

A great place to stay just outside Aachen. Even without a car, you can take the Bus nearby.||The restaurant and the staff of the Hotel make this a great experience. Take time to enjoy the Chef's Surpris Menue. …

the hotel is situated in a very nice, old building and is really clean. But that's about all for the positive aspects of it. We chose it because of it's location close to the highway, which is indeed convenient. …

A lot of money for an outdated hotel. We had to pay 9 euros each for 'a drink of the house'.

No own parking spaces and hardly any parking spaces in front of the house. Rooms can only be reached via a narrow staircase, no elevator. Unsuitable for disabled and elderly people.Room quite small but quiet. Breakfast is expensive for what is offered. €3.50 per bike to store it in an old shed that smells of slaughterhouse waste is audacious.Nope - not again & not recommended. There are better addresses everywhere in the area.

Nice reception, the key code also worked great upon arrival. Very clean house. Minibar freely accessible to everyone in the hallway. The owner is always available. New, very spacious bathroom. The furnishings of our room were simple but functional and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the windows were well insulated. We were able to enjoy both the la carte breakfast and the buffet breakfast and were served courteously and very nicely. We are already looking forward to the next visit.
