  3 star optel with 5 star amenities

  15 Jan 2022

  We wanted to find a cheap stay at a hotel in Mönchengladbach. Normally mcdreams is the choice…sub 50€ with free parking.This is quite basic and no frills 3 star accommodation.But in Germany 3 stars means a lot…even when basic. It’s clean, great beds, bathroom … great price quality.While looking I got a special offer for this hotel on hotels.com. 50€ per room per night. This hotel has what I call the trifecta. Great price, free parking and free breakfast. But it was so so much better thans expected.To be honest the pictures on the website didn’t do this hotel any justice at all. We almost cancelled because it looks dated and with shabby bathroom.Let’s do the bad first. The floor in the room…looks very shiny, plasticky. But it was meticulously clean and walking on it is beer than on the carpets that just doesn’t feel clean enough in older hotels.The bathroom I must say feel and looks old. That’s due to the white tiles and bathtub I guess. But bathroom was meticulously clean and all in working order. The bath is really not so functional, quite high. So elderly or less flexible persons must be careful when getting in or out from bath. But great if you have a baby or kids I guess.In our room the shower didn’t have a thermostat and the water temperature moved around a bit…from coldish to too hot…and everything in between. That’s a negative, but water pressure was good.But the rest was much much better then expected.First of all free parking underneath the hotel. But I think the street is free parking too. Location is in upper residential area so feels really safe in the street. Weirdly you can enter the hotel via the garage…but the door doesn’t open from the outside. Also no chance to call reception topen it. This means when you arrive you need to walk outside on quite a steep climb to enter hotel at reception.The rooms as I mentioned was very clean and quite spacious. There is a good working TV. Beds are great. Sadly two singles, but at 90cm that’s a good width. You get two pillows and there is plenty of plugs to use. For the summer..unfortunately no AC.What really sets this place apart is the amenities provided. It shames 4/5 star hotels. From toothbrushes, shaving kit, toilet wet wipes, to sewing and even a shoeshine kit.wow. The best I saved the best for last. The free breakfast. We got a full German breakfast. The downside it was at the nearby elisenhof hotel. The good thing….It was top quality breakfast.In 5 star hotels I have had breakfast with more choice, but it was not so tasty or of such quality. Don’t get me wrong. It had everything.bacon. Sausage, 2 types scrambled egg, salmon, and the usual continental spread. The breads was great and cold cuts with local specialty always good.The juice bar was tops with fresh squeezed OJ machine.A very satisfying start of the day.I cant recommend this place enough. The price quality king..even if without the extra discount.

  Clean modern hotel, very quiet

  09 Jul 2019

  I needed a hotel close to Schwalmtal and this was it. It's in a very quiet neighbourhood with parking. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent with lots of choice and really good coffee. When I stayed there were only 4 guests so the restaurant wasn't open but the menu looked good with lots of choices for vegetarians/vegans. There is a small bar too and a terrace both front and back. Within a 15 minute walk there are a number of restaurants and the buses into Rheydt and Monchengladbach stop a few yards away.

  Nice hotel in quiet area

  11 May 2019

  The amenities of the room were good for private travels. However for a business trip I was missing a desk. The surrounding is quiet and therefore nothing disturbs your sleep. The hotel is not to far from Rheydt but quite far from Mönchengladbach city centre. The public transport is running until midnight to the hotel.

  Quiet place

  Average rooms with very comfy beds. Clean and quiet. Tv, hairdryer, coffee/Tea is available in room. Restaurant/bar have basic offering but tasty. I had classic schnitzel with fries which was fine. Very good and friendly service from staff. Also breakfast was good, incl ”champagne”.

  Quiet Location

  04 Dec 2016

  I had a huge room with a balcony. The weather was cold and rainy, but I went out on the balcony for just a bit. The bathroom was extremely large with a shower stall and a separate tub My accommodations were very comfortable and cozy. I was traveling on business and the lack of a desk was my only negative for my stay. The restaurant downstairs was really good. I had two excellent meals. There wasn't much to see or do in the immediate neighborhood.
