The house is nice, but totally unsuitable for asthmatics.I have no idea what was in the air, but it gave me several asthma attacks, and I was only able to spend a short time in the breakfast room in particular.

I came to ask for a single room and the owner told me they were all full. Since it was late and raining, I asked if they had any doubles. She laughed and said I couldn’t afford them. I asked how much they were and she refused to answer, telling me to instead go somewhere else. I can therefore only conclude she did not want me personally there and for this elitist and inhospitable stance I rate it 1/5.

An amazing hotel within an easy walk of the centre of Monschau; the hotel is decorated on an Aquarium theme, furnishings are reminiscent of the 50's, but everything is themed around fish and fishing.  …

Four of us stayed at the Hotel Aquarium for one night in December 2014. The hotel is a small museum with a playful interior and is run by a very friendly older couple - a small experience in a positive sense. …

This small hotel above the town center in Monschau has been run by two warm-hearted couples for over 30 years. You can tell that both of them put a lot of heart into the hotel. …
