EURO PARK HOTEL Hennef

If you’ve ever wondered what staying in an East German office block circa 1974 might feel like, Euro Park Hotel Hennef has you covered. The building is enormous, but it seems confused about its identity—part hotel, part commercial property, and fully neglected on the outside. From first glance, you’ll get the impression that time—and maintenance—have both moved on without it. Stepping into the room, the time-travel theme continues. No air conditioning in sight, just a wall of heat and stillness that made sleeping feel more like slow-cooking. The furniture is budget even by student dorm standards, the bed wobbles like it’s been through one too many guests, and the TV is so small it may have once been part of an in-flight entertainment system. The bathroom offered a loose shower fixture and water pressure that could best be described as “lazy drizzle.” Meanwhile, the carpet had mysterious stains that raised more questions than I dared ask. To be fair, the room was surface-level clean—but that’s where the positives ended. Let’s talk ironing: they provided a vintage ironing board with a looser cover than a teenager’s excuse and an iron that looked like it was last used to press Gorbachev’s shirts. Add some questionable wiring, and I began considering whether sleeping in the car was the better option. The breakfast debacle was the cherry on top. Despite pre-paying during booking, the hotel had no record of this and insisted we pay again—€15 per person—for what amounted to a sad little basket of spreads and some lonely bread. The breakfast lady was cheerful, which helped, but unfortunately, her egg-cooking skills were… avant-garde. To their credit, the receptionist tried to help, but the exchange felt like a UN negotiation. Sadly, no resolution came, just confusion and the slow realisation that this hotel was not quite the “Euro Park” experience we were hoping for. Conclusion: The Euro Park Hotel Hennef is a masterclass in how not to run a hotel. Between the stifling rooms, retro amenities, and Kafkaesque breakfast saga, it was a night we won’t soon forget—though we wish we could. If you value sleep, comfort, or breakfast that doesn’t involve déjà vu charges, give this place a miss. Final Thought: Should be renamed “Euro Parked in the Past Hotel“

Eigentlich ein vernünftigen Business Hotel für eine Nacht, braucht aber etwas neue Farbe in den Fluren. Der TV auf dem Zimmer geht nicht, der Mann von der Rezeption hat sich bemüht, leider vergebens. Morgen früh kommt jemand den TV zu reparieren - dann reise ich aber schon wieder ab. Entschuldigung - keine. Entgegenkommen als kleine Entschädigung? - nichts. Minibar im Zimmer - ausgebaut! Gratis Wasser auf dem Zimmer - keins. Gratis Wasser an der Rezeption - nur einen Schluck aus dem Glas, die Flasche dürfen Sie nicht mit aufs Zimmer nehmen. Aber Sie können eine Flasche aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen - kostet 6,50 €! Ein 4 Sterne Hotel? Maximal 3 Sterne. Nächstes mal suche ich mir ein anderes Hotel in Hennef.
