Hotel Royal Jülich

This place was recently redone inside. I feel like outsides can be deceiving here. It is connected to a small quiet casino with a few slots. But the rooms, particularly the one we stayed in literally right off the casino, was brand new and super nice inside. We didn't hear a peep and it was very safe and bright and clean. The breakfast was impressively good and fresh. The front desk staff was great. Safety was not a concern. We were here for a base for Christmas markets for Schloss Merode and Aachen and some small local ones and it was perfect for a stay. Would totally stay again and recommend. Again, when you pull up you think surely this isn't particularly nice inside simply due to casino but the room was spotless. We had a family of 4 and two separate bedroom spaces. The only downside for us was the TVs couldn't switch languages or have subtitles but that isn't unusual for hotels these days for some reason. We stayed a weekend in December so maybe it was extra quiet but it was very sleepy and mellow.

Clean and comfortable, fast check-in/out, good breakfast. A bit outside of town, but bus stop just out of the gate.

Location was a bit off, like said before: motel like Room was perfect, everything there, in good condition and clean Breakfast was nothing special, but enough choice to eat For me this was value for money
