Top Hotel Krämer

Location: Centrally located near the city center, train station , and major attractions like the Rhine River. Public transport and walking access to shops, restaurants, and cultural sites.

We booked a junior suite for 1 night and were given a room at the rear of the hotel. There are pictures shown of the rooms on various websites and the room we were given was representative of the pictures however we found the décor to be rather depressing. The furnishings were a mix of 80’s and modern as the rooms had only been partially renovated. The colour scheme was very sombre with dark blue wall coverings, curtains and carpet. There was a small separate seating area at the rear facing the windows which were covered in net curtains so there was limited light entering the room. The room looked directly on to an austere apartment block and a busy road and railway line on the right. The glass sliding door on the bathroom although frosted, was see-through regardless of whether the bathroom light was on or off. This was a very odd choice of design as the toilet was on the right-hand side of the door meaning anyone using it could be clearly seen. We had to take turns sitting in the seating area whilst the other person used the toilet. The hotel does not provide a complimentary breakfast. The cost is EUR 6.50pp. We thought the price was very good as the choices and service were good. The hotel has no parking so you have to park in the public car park just down the road (GPS 50.3536, 7.5878). This cost was EUR 22 to park from 11am to 8am the next day. We found the reception and restaurant staff very efficient and professional and the hotel was clearly well managed. Given the additional costs for breakfast and parking, we paid £165 (Eur 190) for 1 night. Given the style of room and the location, outlook and facilities of the hotel we felt this was a little expensive.

Very central, but quiet . Clean and cared for , housekeeping to be commended . Friendly helpful English speaking staff. Location perfect for walking to station, river Rhein, cable car , boats , shops . Would recommend and return. We don’t do breakfast so can’t comment on food
