From the street side, the hotel looks a bit stiff and cold-faced - it is in a street of 4-5 floors high stone houses from the time around 1900 - no trees in this street. But if you come into the hotel, you see that behind the houses there is a great green quarter space with a small lake -... more

We stayed at Hotel Marx for a small "culture trip" to Aachen over the weekend. Although it has quite a number of rooms it is still family run, and the owner herself gave us many good advises (restaurants etc...) during our stay. We had a nice big double room with old-fashioned furniture. The television had only 13 channels, but well,... more

We found hotel marx by chance in the internet, and chose it because of the its location quite in the center of the city. And indeed, all major tourist attractions could be reached by food within minutes. The hotel seems to be family run with a quite personal atmosphere. We booked two rooms: one cheap room without shower and a... more

Very unfriendly manager: booked a non-smoking room at the back of the hotel a month before my visit, which was confirmed by email by the manager Maria, however on arrival she could only offer me a smoking room or a room at the front – which was very noisy. Requested for 1 day early departure, but I was charged for... more

I thought Hotel Marx was charming. I'd been traveling around for a bit, and was getting used to basic rooms & hotels with little character. Once I found it (a bit of a hike from the train station), I found the woman (co-owner, I think) very helpful & welcoming. She offered me a map and marked where I could find... more

This hotel is in a great location just a short walk from the centre of Aachen. The manager was very helpful and friendly. We paid 85 EUR for double room for one night. The rooms are clean but very basic and old fashioned. We had a nice view at the back of the hotel across the back garden and Aachen.... more

Nothing special here. Good location but that's all. One channel on the TV, unappetizing breakfast buffet, rather unfriendly service asking for payment in advance, I'd rather not stay here again. more

A small family run hotel. A very very small elevator to haul bags to room. The service and the curtsey of hotel operators was rude and unfriendly. The best part was the close proximity of this hotel to shops and businesses. No refund offered when wanting to cancel reservation even two week before our arrival. Therefore we end up staying... more

Hotel Marx~~family run despite the name! Excellent hotel ~~well located being only a few minutes walk from cathedral and Old Town (not so old actually thanks to the close attentions of the RAF!) Good value and spotlessly clean. Don't miss restaurant VIVERE~~very reasonable and amongst best meals that we have ever had! more
