Okay, this is a nice hotel in a nice city, but the decor is a triumph of style over function; orange ceiling panel with multiple lights hanging from it, orange light UNDER the bed!, no usable bed side lights for reading. Please Ibis, let's have a bit of functionality before style! However, the hotel is conveniently placed on the outer edge of the inner city, has it's own car parking (vital in Aachen) and friendly staff. Beware though, the car park is not well signed and missing it is a pain on a one way street.
