Highly recommended!
Like many others, I found the breakfast fantastic, in terms of range (somewhat unusually for continental Europe, it includes English-style hot food) and quality. I haven't seen better in most of the 4 or even 5 star hotels I've stayed in. The breakfast room is spacious and the staff very welcoming. I managed to tip my organge juice all over the table but nobody made a fuss and the two highly absorbant linen table cloths saved both my trousers and shoes! My breakfast was made even better by being able to listen to eight 60+ Scandinavian (?) men having a really good laugh with one another. I have no clue what was being said but their deep tones and hearty laughter made me smile many times. I wonder what they were doing in Bonn over the weekend?
My fouth floor room (number 22) was compact but had everything I wanted. All the fixtures and fittings felt like they had quality and everything was spotlessly clean. Three slightly unusual things: The shower and toilet were separate (which I like), there was a notebook-sized safe (not important for me but helpful for business travellers), and there were tea/coffee-making facilities (also not standard continental Europe).
My room was not air-conditioned and I did need to keep the window open at night. There was a fan but I preferred fresh air, even at the expense of hearing a few revellers who seem to have had a small private party in the street outside. It should be borne in mind that this was a Saturday night and there was a major open-air gig in town that night - my reason for being in Bonn in the first place.
For around Euro 100 a night, including that fantastic breakfast, I'd say this was one of, if not the, best value hotels I've ever stayed in.
Once again, highly recommended!
