“Basic but satisfactory”

This hotel is basic and is a strange mix of styles inside, but to be fair it seems good value locally and it does those basics fine. My room and en-suite were functional and comfortable enough and food I tried in its bistro was good ... which is important as there's next to nothing else in the immediate vicinity. I also found the staff helpful enough. The sights of central Aachen are about a 20 minute brisk walk away - no trouble if you don't mind a bit of a trek that's mildly uphill on the way back. Otherwise it's a short trip in the car or on the bus from the very nearby bus-stop. Minor downsides were no free, or even fixed-rate, internet in the room - just the choice of using one computer in their 'bistro' cafe for free, or signing up to an expensive pay-by-time hotspot. Second, there's only a handful of parking spaces by the road immediately outside the hotel, with the other option being parking in bays further up the street. This wasn't a big issue for me, but if you had a lot of clobber to unload, for example during a family trip, possible lack of stopping place outside the hotel would be an irritant. I also find it penny-pinching when access to a simple buffet-style 'continental' breakfast isn't included in the price and subject to an unreasonable extra charge. But overall this hotel was fine. While I would still shop around to find something better if heading to Aachen again, I wouldn't actively avoid it.

“Hotel Buschausen”

The hotel is slightly out of the town centre but there is a bus stop outside and regular buses go into the town.

“Not Impressed”

The hotel is easy to find from the Autobahn. I arrived late and there was no parking for over 200m from then hotel. I then had a rtoom on the 4th floor where the lift did not go. No member of staff offered to help with the luggage. The room was clean but severely dated, there was no free WiFi in the room and the toiletries and mini bar were basic. Breakfast was continental and uninspiring. Overall a low quality experience but the savingn grace was that the room was very clean. It is OK for overnight but not at that price. 2* at best.

“A step back in time to the 80's and not in a good way.”

Hotel is located a few miles from Aachen centre. There is no hotel parking so cars are left on the street overnight. The rooms are like something out of the 1980's. Clearly no refurbishment has taken place for 20 plus years. The room safe had a coin slot for deutch marks as opposed to euro's so was completely useless.The fact that it required a coin to operate I find strange in any case. The so called swimming pool was small and grotty. Mini golf was strangely always closed when my children asked for it to be opened.The bathrooms were dated and grubby. The hotel food is overpriced. One portion of fries worked out to about 3 times the average and a fish and chips meal was similarly overpriced. Maybe the owners have confused Aachen with Monaco. They clearly know that there are no facilities near by and so inflate prices.The staff were generally stuck up and rude. However the icing on the cake occured on the day of check out. Before handing back the room key to settle our bill I decided to load my car with the family luggage. Whilst walking to my vehicle parked some 400 metres from the hotel I found myself being chased by a member of the hotel staff. The lady in question was shouting '' Your room number, your room number Sir! Sir come back! Come back!'' Clearly she assumed that I was trying to ''Do a runner'' as they say. I found this offensive and extremely embarrassing. So all in all please never stay at this hotel. Worst service I have ever encountered.
