AKZENT Hotel Merfelder Hof

If air conditioning is a requirement, be sure to request this upfront while booking. Not all rooms have air conditioning. I didn't realize this until I arrived and by then all the A/C rooms were booked. Based on Trip Advisor and Google, it appeared all rooms had air conditioning (Management- you need to correct this until all rooms have A/C). The room had a small desk, comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and plenty of 220v outlets. Breakfast will appear as a separate charge on the bill (currently 20 euro), so if traveling for work this is something to consider (i.e., breakfast is not included with the room). There is a restaurant that I didn't try but, after the first night, most of my coworkers ate elsewhere (I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions). The staff is friendly. The bar closes at 10:00pm, so don't expect to get a late drink. The hotel is well situated within walking distance of downtown shops. Hotel parking is limited but ample parking appears nearby in a public lot. The hotel claims to have free WiFi but I couldn't get it to work and just used my cell phone data. Small TV with only two English-speaking channels (Bloomberg and Euro News)- but hey, it's Germany so that's expected.

Wat een fijn schoon hotel! Iedere dag schone handoeken, kamer keurig aan kant gemaakt, heeeeerlijk eten in het restaurant. Vriendelijk hardwerkende personeel. Ontbijt kan wat uitgebreider. We misten onder andere de bacon en worstjes bij de scrambled eggs. Mooie omgeving om te fietsen!
