The room was quite nice. You could almost say spacious because you could easily walk around the bed. The breakfast was also good. There was a large selection. Free parking space was available.We will come again.

A conference hotel in a class of its own with the highest level of comfort, quality and facilities, both in the rooms, the conference rooms and the culinary facilities. This place could be a top address...BUT: As a group that met for three days, we noticed several times the indisputable way in which (obviously) long-standing employees treated (obviously) new trainees in service. The fact that new trainees - both in the restaurant and in the dining room in the evening - are rudely shouted at, treated condescendingly and thus - in front of guests! - being embarrassed shocked us and greatly diminished the otherwise good overall impression.Trying to guide and correct new trainees who are young - and of course insecure at the beginning - is completely ok. Devaluing and disrespecting them is not.That was more than worrying! Unacceptable.A pleasant stay also requires respect and appreciation for each other - and not just for the guests.

The impressive historic building, which now serves as a modern hotel and conference center, is located on a hill in Bensberg in an extensive park.The wide view over the Rhenish Bay with the cities of Cologne and Leverkusen is wonderful.In the evening you can enjoy the sunset from the terrace.The conference venue belongs to the Archdiocese of Cologne.Unfortunately, although there are enough parking spaces available, they are too far from the hotel entrance.The existing access to the hotel entrance is unfortunately blocked for hotel guests by bollards. It would be interesting to find out whether this also applies to church dignitaries.The employees at the reception were friendly and quick, so that check-in and check-out went smoothly.The room was large, clean and very high, the beds were good.Unfortunately the room did not have air conditioning. The small room air conditioner that was set up swirled the air a bit, but didn't really cool the room when the outside temperature was well over 30 degrees Celsius.The noise protection windows could not be opened because the nearby Cologne-Bonn airport has no ban on night flights, so the planes produced far too much noise throughout the night.A stay in summer with higher temperatures is therefore not recommended.The breakfast in the large dining room was excellent and the staff here were quick, friendly and service-oriented.Overall, an interesting hotel for the months of September to May, when you can enjoy the peace, the beautiful view and the good breakfast without air conditioning.
