I chose it because the combination of modern design, comfort, and proximity to the cathedral made this hotel the perfect choice for my trip. Right from the hotel, you can feel the pulse of the city and the historical atmosphere.

Some rooms offer a partial view of the cathedral, and it is best seen from the common areas on the upper floors. I am sure I will be simply delighted when I see this beauty for the first time. The cathedral looks majestic and mysterious, as if it came from the past.

I chose this hotel also for its comfortable common areas, where you can work or relax. After a busy day of exploring the city, it would be nice to return to the hotel, unwind in the lobby, and enjoy the atmosphere of modern comfort.

Hotel 3 Kоnige — is a small but very cozy hotel located right on the square by the town hall, just a few minutes' walk from Aachen Cathedral. This hotel immediately attracted me with its charm and cozy atmosphere. There is a feeling of warmth and hospitality, as if you are being welcomed not in a hotel, but in a friend's house.

These moments of tranquility and solitude with oneself and history – what could be better?

The hotel is small, but this gives it a special charm: every corner is infused with a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff does everything to ensure a comfortable stay.

Perhaps the hotel does not offer a large number of additional services, but its coziness and proximity to the cathedral make up for it.

Hotel am Marschiertor is located a bit further from the center, but still within walking distance of Aachen Cathedral. This hotel attracted me with its affordable price and convenience for those who appreciate tranquility and a somewhat remote location that allows for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

A direct view of the cathedral opens from three hotel rooms. A walk to the cathedral takes just a few minutes. I can imagine how I would stroll through these streets every day, enjoying the calm and atmosphere that prevails in this area. The remoteness from the noisy center allows one to focus on their thoughts and enjoy the silence.

Although the hotel does not have a multitude of extra services, the conditions for relaxation are simply ideal.
