Mercure Hotel Aachen am Dom

Location - perfect for the cathedral/centre, only a few steps away. Breakfast, and breakfast room - very good., well looked after. Car parking - good that there is that provision, is in a multi-storey across the road Room as expected for a Mercure The cathedral, seat of the Holy Roman Emperors for 600 yrs, is well worth the city centre hassle.

No fault of the hotel but Aachen traffic something of a challenge especially with bus lanes changing from centre of the roads to the sides, and being used by bikes as well as buses - and taxis. You need self-preservation radar on full alert. The car park takes a little working out. The simplest entry is via a covered gap between shops opposite the hotel, and crossing over the pavement. Once through the gap, after 100 yards, there is a fork in the road, with the car park straight ahead. Take the left fork and immediately the entry to the Mercure part is down a ramp on the right. Ring the bell and announce yrself to hotel reception. The car park is gated so once inside, yr car should be safe. For exit merely draw up to the gate, cross the yellow line, and the gate lifts.
