We don't really have a good feel for Aachen as a city and aren't sure what to say about the area other than that it was pretty vibrant and appeared to offer some night life opportunities. The hotel was clean and modern and the service was mostly good, although they seemed to be thrown a little for a loop by a family showing up to breakfast with two kids, which was odd. The room was adequate, but not big, and with both the bed and the pull-out sofa if was tricky to move around. It had an adequate fitness facility on the top floor, with dumbbells up to 10kg, a full-body selectorized weight training machind, and some cardio machines, as well as a shower and changing area.
