In spring the menu features great Asparagus dishes (grown and picked local) and in autumn lots of game dishes. The cuisine is refined and consistent. Try the Düsseldorfer Rostbraten, a big sirloin with onions on top, local speciality. The service is friendly and relaxed.

Check in is effective and we are upgraded to a beautiful suite with Parkview! Reservations for dinner are made and time for us to hit the town! Dinner in a lovely ambience and the waiters are hardly noticed, only when needed they are there in a jiffy. Vegetarian food is lovely and folks: go for the chef's signature dessert, it's killing! Nice local wines. The surroundings of the hotel are great for a stroll or a decent walk. And so nice and quiet for a good night sleep. In Bonn the Beethoven week kept us busy with concerts and visiting the museum. There a lots of markets, and stores (non retail chain) very worth your visit. The wellness environment in the hotel is outstanding, you practically have the place to yourself. Rooms are very nice kept (hooray for house keeping) and provided with all the necessities.

Whilst the rooms rates were very reasonable, the restaurant was overpriced - the food was fairly good, aimed at fine dining style, however the menu choice was limited - heavy or heavy food - not much inspiration, and execution was a little off in places (e.g. over salting, over cooking, presentation) which you expect to be far better for the price.

It feels like this hotel is still living off of it's acclaimed history, rather than putting in the effort right now to make the stay as good as it should be. Go if you are travelling by car for either business or pleasure, though factor in the extra costs of the restaurant and bar etc. Don't go if you want to be close to the local attractions/people/etc, or if you are on a budget.
