Schalkenmehrener Maar

I was very happy to find this boutique hotel within shouting distance of the Messe. For many years I stayed at the Marriott but wanted a change. It is a charming, quiet and comfortable hotel. The staff are particularly good natured and helpful. I hope no one reads this review so the rates don’t go up too much for next year. Be aware though it’s not fancy or upscale so if that is what you are after it may not be the right fit for you.

The fit and finish furnishings decor were all outstanding, location on the river just added to the experience

Excellent location, walking distance from the station and surrounded by inexpensive bars and eateries, as well as having its own restaurant and bar, not to mention brewery. The room was spacious, comfortable, and modern. This is a brewery with attached outlet, so don't expect monastic tranquility on a weekend evening.
