Reviews
Clean and tidy rooms
Excellent staff
Thank you
The Malerwinkel Hotel is a charming ensemble of traditional timber framed buildings and a newer guest house - all draped around a leafy courtyard. It oozes charm, character, history and the promise of a very personal hotel guest experience.
On that the Malerwinkel fully delivers: all staff are very welcoming and go out of their way yo male guests feel welcome and at home very quickly. The room I stayed in at the Kuemstlerhaus was spacious and decorated as the "Juan Miro" room. Amenities and furnishings are very nice and I had a great view towards the courtyard and the historic city centre.
Breakfast service is of high quality and served in the maun house with the option to sit outside: the ambience is picturesque and the service is very personal, friendly a d efficient.
Parking is free, and since the hotel sits above the city centre, there is an abundance of shopping & dining options. I even found time to see a movie one evening. Connections to Cologne via public transportation (S1) are close by, fast and easy to use. The A4 highway gets you to Cologne in 20 minutes or do - depending on traffic.
The hotel was a great choice - with many small "touches" making my stay special & enjoyable (i.e. free coffee, tea, water, and ice cream!). What really stood out were the staff though: they were fantastic! The only room for improvement are the towels for the shower (larger would be nice), and the curtains (not easy to operate). But this is small stuff and overall I was happy!
The hotel itself is super charming. The girl at reception had superb English and was very friendly at check-in, showing me to my room. (Not sure I would have ever found it!) My room was simple with a single bed and bathroom en suite - at a very good price. Breakfast was only 9€, but I had to leave early to catch a train.
The town of Bensberg is an interesting mix of traditional fachwerke and modern brutalist architecture - like many resort towns from the 70s and 80s. But since the U-1 goes right from Bensberg to center Köln, it’s an excellent alternative for getting away from the city, especially if you love a good sauna! (See my review of Mediterana.) 😍
I look forward to returning for a longer stay with my wife. 😊
