Best Five Star Hotels in Bonn

The rooms are too small and the facilities are outdated. It feels like a hotel 10 or 20 years ago that can't keep up with the times.

We stayed for a couple of nights at the Kameha Grand in Bonn. The location is great for walking and cycling and about 15 mins drive from the centre of Bonn on the other sider of the river. Lots of very safe cycle paths everywhere. Our junior suite was large and very comfortable. Strangely, the mini-bar was empty, but I did not find out why. The styling would not be to everyones taste, but I certainly liked it and the hotel is flooded with light. Breakfast was very good with the usual offerings. We made use of the swimming pool on the 3rd floor in the spa, which was heated and overlooks the Rhine. We found the staff to be extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable throughout. We used Uber to get around Bonn, although the service only recently came to Bonn and the service was a bit patchy. Be prepared to wait for longer than you would in bigger cities such as Berlin. We did not try any of the restaurants at the Kameha as we were only there for a short while. If anyone needs a recommendation, try Oscar in der Remise, about 8 minutes away by car. For travellers to Germany, bring cash as the country is still behind the times and a bit analogue. The lovely Rheinlust beer garden about 10mins drive away does not accept any form of credit cards. Some taxi drivers also struggled with electronic payment. Looking forward to returning to the Kameha

This Marriott is located near the river, with nie walking paths nearby. It is easy to drive to, on the outskirts of the city of Bonn, and very near a metro station. The parking garage is large and easy to navigate. There are no nearby resturants (other than the overpriced one in the hotel)....a Vapianos and one other place, named ”Different” are the next closest at about a 15-20 minute walk away and no grocery stores close enough to easily walk to. This is our second stay here and in both cases Lieferando orders took FOREVR to get to us and involved lost drivers. We saw two other guest parties having similar delivery issues this stay. The front desk staff are very friendly and professional. Check in and out went smoothly. The executive lounge is spacious and recently renovated. Food and drink offerings and service were less than most Marriotts in Germany. There are only peanuts and gummy candies during the day. Plus water (if someone has refilled it, it was empty almost as often as full), coffee and a soda fountain with Pepsi products. Evening cocktail hour adds juices, wines and beer, NO ice brought in for the sodas (we did flag someone down the first night and ask for it, it was brought about half an hour later, but the staff seem so busy we didn't feel comforatble asking again). Lounge staff never greet guests or offer any service, only come to refill food or drinks in the self serve area or bus tables from time to time. Snacks are defintely that, snacks, most Marriott lounges you can make a light meal out of the offerings, not this one (ironic given how little other meal options are nearby). The main offering was soup nightly (plus a VERY small salad and cheses selection and one meat based starter each night). The soup alternated between cauliflower or potato nightly. The gym is large and a highlight of the property. Lots of equipment and all in good shape. Housekeeping is below expectations. Our room was missed one day, dirty glasses (all placed togehter on one dresser) were never removed (there were 14 at the end of the week), lotion not refilled, etc. However the major cleaning was done, and towels were actually left to be reused when we hung them up, which was nice. There was an ice bucket in the room but the only way to get ice was to call for room service. They really need to add an ice machine to the shop area like so many other marriotts in Germany are doing. The bed was confotable and the room fairly well layed out overall. One final gripe: the TVs are enclosed in a wood frame to keep people from plugging a device into them to stream. OK, I am sure too many people damage TVs doing that, BUT this hotel also fails to offer streaming, or log in options diretcly on the TV, etc. Most any good hotel these days finds a way to let you stream your content on the in room TV and lacking that, plus the only channels available being basic German ones, really felt like somthing was missing. Overall it is more good

This modern hotel backs on to Bonn main railway station, a few minutes walk from the tourist sites in the centre of town, and on the edge of a lovely historic residential district which includes the botanic gardens which are well worth visiting. There is a ”green” supermarket next door to the hotel, and a good bakery across the road. So an excellent location overall. Rooms are quite spacious, beds comfortable, large TV. No coffee making facilities. One gets a Bonn travel card for the duration of one's stay: which is a nice addition. The one significant downside is that one does hear quite a bit of noise from the trains and the station. More than in some other hotels we have stayed in that back on to railway stations. My partner slept well, I did not. Freight trains went past every 15 minutes or so throughout the night. Bizarrely, when I had asked on the first day about a possible room change to the road side of the building (10 euros more, to *business class”) I was told there were no trains at night! Would I stay again if visiting Bonn? Probably yes. I would try the rooms on the road side.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights in April 2022 during a family & friends reunion trip in my old hometown. Our Junior Suite # 107 was comfortable with scenic views on the river Rhine. One could have just sit on his bed and stare out of the window for hours. Sleeping quality was excellent and the bathroom - though on the smaller side - spotlessly clean. What we missed was a small shelf in bathroom, which could be easily installed above the toilet for example. Now we had to keep our wash bags on the desk in the room, what is not really convenient. Also towels are a bit small and there are no bigger ones available - even on request. The room itself is functional, sufficiently clean, however, a little more attention to detail is recommended, mainly the floor would need some more intense cleanup prior to arrival next time. Breakfast was ok, not exceptional, but what you can expect from a 4* city hotel. Service was friendly. The location is one of a kind, super central in one of Bonn's nicest parts, calm, but still sufficiently close to many sights and attractions. The city centre with its pittoresque pedestranian area and the univeristy are right next door or just a few minutes walk away. Another big plus was the staff, especially Mrs. Müller and the receptionist from Columbia, who went above and beyond to make our stay the most convenient. We didnt manage to dine in the Olveto restaurant, since we had pre-organised dinners every evening, but will attempt to manage next time. The garage at 18 € per night may appear pricey to some, but it is definitely worth it, given how difficult it is to find a parking space in this area of Bonn. Overall, we had a very good stay, the views, the gentle staff and location prevail over the few small caveats we encountered during our visit. Whenever we come back to Bonn for an overnight stay, we will try to get a room at the Hotel Königshof, again.

Hotel is located in a quiet forest area, a 20 minute busride to the city center. Busstop about a 5 minute walk from the hotel, runs every 30 minutes even on weekends. We travelled with a group of 8 people and had different rooms, amongst them junior suites, single rooms and standard rooms. The suites were well equipped, with large bathroom and 'salon'. One suite however did not have a TV in the bedroom only the salon, the other suite did have 2 TV's. Single rooms were attic rooms, quite small, dark and not very attractive. Pillows were plenty and thick, mattress however to hard for my liking. Although the hotel tablet mentioned all rooms were equipped with a (free of service) coffee and tea bar, only the suites had one as told by the receptionist. False advertising and the solution offered by reception was to ask for hot water from the hotel bar, which by the way was not open the entire weekend. Closed on Friday evening and reserved for a private party on Saturday. Unacceptable; all paying hotel guests should have access to the displayed facilities. The Basilico hotel restaurant is another one for the books. Terrible service, had to wait about an hour to get our meal with only 2 other tables in the restaurant. Price/quality the worst I've seen in a long time. Most of us left the table hungry, but no surprise when there's only 3 baby potatoes on your plate, cut in half to make your plate look full ... On the upside, breakfast buffet was quite nice. Good variety of meats and cheeses, fresh fruit, yoghurt, lachs, meatballs, eggs, etc. Previously they had a hot station where eggs were made 'à la minute', but probably cancelled now because of covid. Bathroom was equipped with a bathtub and shower in one. Only had 1 large towel and smelled horrible, but housekeeping in the hallway solved this very quickly and extremely friendly. Incomprehensible that none of the 5 rooms we've stayed in had hot water in the shower/bath, it was lukewarm at best whether morning or evening. Don't count on the WIFI either, very unreliable. Overall, I've stayed in hotels of the Dorint chain before with less stars but far better service, better rooms and most of all, better food price/qualitywise.

Great place for business purpose or just pleasure. Very nice and humble staff. Overwhelming welcome and service throughout the stay. Amazing swimming pool, wellness, gym and bar area. Just a small thing there is room for improvement in the restaurant area with the Menu. Maybe there can be a better variety of food offered by them. All in all wonderful hotel with a very pleasant atmosphere. I loved it. I am very satisfied.

great cozy rooms, spotless clean, very nice and kind service. If you are travelling for work, the location is ideal for the World Conference Center.Otherwise, you have to take the bus for the historical city center which is 15-20min away. Breakfast was also quite nice with lots of different options. Comfy beds and pillows. high speed of Wi-Fi and free of charge. Free private parking. There are some things that need improvements in breakfast where due to crowd, the items were vanished and then partially replaced. In addition, the room amentities were also poor, there was only soap and body wash. No slippers, or other extras. I will definetely visit the hotel again.

This hotel is not close to Bonn; city centre bit of in the middle of nowhere , no access to food or shops. The longest checkin was at this hotel if they take this long they should provide a chair as checkin takes ages for one person. Hotel was not busy at all. It is a bit of dated hotel, no room service, restaurant closes at 9pm limited choices. The room was basic no fridge and ask for amenities. The bed was a strange low bed, not European standard with thin layer of sheet and duvet. No taxi service available if or airport pick up. Just did not seem 4* experience at all. No Accor member benefits. ( no water provided). Breakfast- basic but at least some vegetarian options and some labelled and some not. Checkout was a lot smoother and done well by the staff.

I booked this hotel on a business trip, the environment is very good, the location is also good, the transportation is convenient, the service is warm and thoughtful, the room is clean and tidy, and I am very satisfied.
