Hotel in zona Friedensplatz, Bonn

This modern hotel backs on to Bonn main railway station, a few minutes walk from the tourist sites in the centre of town, and on the edge of a lovely historic residential district which includes the botanic gardens which are well worth visiting. There is a ”green” supermarket next door to the hotel, and a good bakery across the road. So an excellent location overall. Rooms are quite spacious, beds comfortable, large TV. No coffee making facilities. One gets a Bonn travel card for the duration of one's stay: which is a nice addition. The one significant downside is that one does hear quite a bit of noise from the trains and the station. More than in some other hotels we have stayed in that back on to railway stations. My partner slept well, I did not. Freight trains went past every 15 minutes or so throughout the night. Bizarrely, when I had asked on the first day about a possible room change to the road side of the building (10 euros more, to *business class”) I was told there were no trains at night! Would I stay again if visiting Bonn? Probably yes. I would try the rooms on the road side.

Allow me to proffer a ponderous and perceptive evaluation of the Hilton “Dorint” Bonn hotel, which, alas, now languishes in a lamentable state that belies its once illustrious and exalted standing. The erstwhile grandeur of this establishment, now consigned to a rather decrepit condition, compels me to expound on the profound disparities between its current forlorn state and its erstwhile splendor. In its prime, the Hilton Bonn flourished as an exemplar of refined hospitality, eliciting admiration from guests far and wide. From its imposing façade to the lavishly appointed interiors, the hotel exuded an air of opulence and sophistication that was beyond reproach. The staff, an epitome of decorum and competence, attended to the exigencies of guests with an unfaltering sense of professionalism. However, as time has inexorably marched on, the Dorint, as the Hilton now is, has regrettably witnessed a perceptible diminishment in its overall allure. The corridors and communal areas bear the unmistakable signs of wear and tear, manifesting in faded paintwork, chipped furnishings, and carpeting frayed at the edges. The veneer of elegance once so gloriously enshrined now seems tarnished, and the ambiance has become, dare I say, less than inviting. An ignoble decline has not spared the once-esteemed guest accommodations, once ensconced in luxury, but now beset with signs of neglect. The linens, once crisp and pristine, now betray a palpable weariness. The en-suite facilities, while still functional, evoke a sense of antiquation that a property of this repute should long have eschewed. In recent times, even the culinary offerings seem to have lost their lustre, eliciting a sigh of disappointment from those who recall the hotel's exquisite culinary past with reverence. The inventive menus of yesteryear have been replaced with humdrum and unremarkable fare, bereft of the gastronomic delights that once tantalized the taste buds. Regrettably, the staff, too, have not emerged unscathed from this decline. The once-polished and attentive attendants appear to labour under the burden of reduced resources and seem to lack the finesse and polish they once displayed. This conspicuous shift in the quality of service has emerged as a clear blemish upon the establishment's reputation. In conclusion, the Hilton Bonn, despite its storied history and erstwhile reputation, languishes in a state that can only be described as a sad vestige of its former glory. One cannot help but lament the departure from its once-illustrious past, where it stood as a bastion of luxury and refinement. While one may still find moments of solace amidst the shadows of its grandeur, the undeniable truth remains that the Hilton “Dorint” Bonn hotel has seen better days, and one can only hope for a revitalization that would recapture its former splendor.

La posizione è eccellente, davanti è dietro il fiume Reyes e dietro l'Università di Bonn. Vive molto vicino alla residenza di Beethoven. Cammino 10-15 minuti; l'hotel è stato ristrutturato all'interno, la stanza è piccola; Le strutture sono un po'vecchie, specialmente le elettricità. Per la prima volta ho visto la porta aperta manualmente. Il servizio del personale dell'hotel è molto buono. Il dentifricio è trascinato in un bagno di acqua, e deve essere aggiustato alla reception circa tre stelle rispetto all'hotel cinese

I can't speak highly enough of the excellent and friendly service we received from the managers at this hotel. They went out of their way to accommodate us - 2 coachfuls of Scouts (83 people) for one night at 3 hours notice! They were very patient with the multiple requests for WiFi codes, help with vending machines etc, and the noise and mess that such a big group of kids inevitably brings. They even helped us order delivery pizza and let us use the dining room to eat it. On top of that, the rooms were clean and functional although basic. The showers were hot and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was very good...even marbled eggs decorated for Easter! I would stay here again if visiting the area or passing through and needing a pitstop.

This Marriott is located near the river, with nie walking paths nearby. It is easy to drive to, on the outskirts of the city of Bonn, and very near a metro station. The parking garage is large and easy to navigate. There are no nearby resturants (other than the overpriced one in the hotel)....a Vapianos and one other place, named ”Different” are the next closest at about a 15-20 minute walk away and no grocery stores close enough to easily walk to. This is our second stay here and in both cases Lieferando orders took FOREVR to get to us and involved lost drivers. We saw two other guest parties having similar delivery issues this stay. The front desk staff are very friendly and professional. Check in and out went smoothly. The executive lounge is spacious and recently renovated. Food and drink offerings and service were less than most Marriotts in Germany. There are only peanuts and gummy candies during the day. Plus water (if someone has refilled it, it was empty almost as often as full), coffee and a soda fountain with Pepsi products. Evening cocktail hour adds juices, wines and beer, NO ice brought in for the sodas (we did flag someone down the first night and ask for it, it was brought about half an hour later, but the staff seem so busy we didn't feel comforatble asking again). Lounge staff never greet guests or offer any service, only come to refill food or drinks in the self serve area or bus tables from time to time. Snacks are defintely that, snacks, most Marriott lounges you can make a light meal out of the offerings, not this one (ironic given how little other meal options are nearby). The main offering was soup nightly (plus a VERY small salad and cheses selection and one meat based starter each night). The soup alternated between cauliflower or potato nightly. The gym is large and a highlight of the property. Lots of equipment and all in good shape. Housekeeping is below expectations. Our room was missed one day, dirty glasses (all placed togehter on one dresser) were never removed (there were 14 at the end of the week), lotion not refilled, etc. However the major cleaning was done, and towels were actually left to be reused when we hung them up, which was nice. There was an ice bucket in the room but the only way to get ice was to call for room service. They really need to add an ice machine to the shop area like so many other marriotts in Germany are doing. The bed was confotable and the room fairly well layed out overall. One final gripe: the TVs are enclosed in a wood frame to keep people from plugging a device into them to stream. OK, I am sure too many people damage TVs doing that, BUT this hotel also fails to offer streaming, or log in options diretcly on the TV, etc. Most any good hotel these days finds a way to let you stream your content on the in room TV and lacking that, plus the only channels available being basic German ones, really felt like somthing was missing. Overall it is more good

Abbiamo soggiornato per una coppia di notti al Kameha Grand a Bonn. La posizione è grande per camminare e ciclismo e circa 15 minuti di auto dal centro di Bonn dall'altra parte del fiume. Molte strade ciclabili molto sicure ovunque. La nostra suite junior era grande e molto comoda. stranamente, il minibar era vuoto, ma non ho capito perché. Il stile non sarebbe stato delizioso per tutti, ma mi piaceva, e l'hotel è inondato di luce. La colazione era molto buona con le offerte abituali. Ci siamo serviti la piscina al terzo piano del bagno, che era riscaldata e guardava il Reno. Abbiamo trovato il personale estremamente amichevole, utile e conosciuto in tutto il tempo. Uber è stato usato per andare in giro a Bonn, anche se il servizio è venuto solo di recente a Bonn e il servizio è stato un po' patching. Preparatevi ad aspettare più tempo di quanto avreste in città più grandi come Berlino. Non abbiamo provato nessuno dei ristoranti della Kameha, perché ci siamo trovati solo per un po'. Se qualcuno ha bisogno di una raccomandazione, prova Oscar in der Remise, circa 8 minuti di auto. Per i viaggiatori in Germania, portate i soldi perché il paese è ancora indietro e un po' analogo. Il bellissimo giardino di birra Rheinlust circa 10 minuti di distanza non accetta alcuna forma di carte di credito. Alcuni conducenti di taxi hanno anche lottato con il pagamento elettronico. Atteso il ritorno alla Kameha

Gayfriendly. Super freundliches und engagiertes Personal. Sehr hilfsbereit. Sehr sauber, alles ganz neu renoviert. Sehr modern eingerichtet. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl und sofort zu Hause gefühlt. Ein sehr schöner Innenhof mit Grünfläche, der zum Erholen einlädt.

Exakt ein Jahr nach einem ”Mädels”-Wochenende mit meiner besten Freundin verbrachten wir diesmal mit unseren Männern vom 12.-14.05.2023 in den Superior-Rheinblick-Zimmern 304 und 306 eine schöne Zeit im stilvollen ”Maritim”-Königswinter mit dem spektakulären Blick auf den Rhein. Wir genossen alle unseren Aufenthalt mit aufrichtig freundlich zugewandten Mitarbeitern der meisten Bereiche sehr, haben allerdings ein paar Anmerkungen und Verbesserungsvorschlöge. Obwohl ich bereits bei der Buchung den unverbindlichen Wunsch”oberste Etage” angegeben hatte, sollten wir beim Einchecken Zimmer in der ersten Etage bekommen. Nach entsprechendem Hinweis erhielten wir problemlos o.g. Zimner mit o.g. Blick. Die Superior-Zimmer haben neben dem Rheinblick auch eine Nespresso-Maschine. Ich persönlich würde mir als reine Tee-Trinkerin ergänzend einen Wasserkocher und eine Auswahl an Tee wünschen. Erfahrungsgemäß hatte ich meinen Wasserkocher und Teebeutel mitgenommen. Im Bad unserer Freunde waren bei Ankunft unter dem Waschtisch unangenehm aussehende Flecken auf den Fliesen, die nach Hinweis umgehend entfernt wurden. Wir freuten uns, dass das Wetter mitspielte und wir beide als Arrangement gebuchten Abendessen auf der Rheinterasse im Sonnenuntergang genießen konnten. Leider hatte das Restaurant am 13.05.2023 nur wenige Reservierungen für den Abend, so dass uns ein 3-gängiges reines Spargel-Menü angeboten wurde, was für 2 von uns keine Option bot, da wir keinen Spargel essen. Zudem hatten wir uns alle auf das umfangreiche ”Maritim”-Abendbuffet gefreut und wären gerne zuvor informiert worden. Unser Vorschlag, den wir der überaus aufmerksamen und freundlichen AZUBI Larissa machten war, ein bis zwei weitere 3-Gang-Menüs anzubieten, damit jeder Gast unkompliziert zufrieden gestellt werden kann. Was uns ebenfalls betrübt hat und was wir im vergangenen Jahr besser erlebt haben, war der, bei einer überschaubaren Bar-Ausnutzung nicht wirklich interessierte und unprofessionelle Barkeeper. Ich hätte mir mehr Informationen zu dem mir unbekannten Gin gewünscht und bei meinem späteren Getränkewunsch Piňa Colada Vergin war sein Hinweis, dass er keine Sahne darin mag und ich statt dessen Batida de Coco darin nehmen sollte absolut unangebracht. Am 2. Abend suchten wir daher zum Abendausklang eine Lokalität in der Altstadt auf. Schade! Nichtsdestotrotz lieben wir das ”Maritim”-Klnigswinter und kommen sicher wieder!

Ho prenotato una stanza con un letto grande, ho trovato una stanza con 2 letti piccoli Non c'era un minibar nella stanza. Ero alloggiato alla fine del corridoio all'ultima stanza del 2° piano - nessun ventilatore e in pieno sole Sono venuti in camera mia per misurare. Non so cosa. Altrimenti il personale è carino , il super colazione;
