Centro Hotel Residence

The location of this modern hotel, close to the city centre, but also next door to the bus and train stations, is great. There are more pittoresque locations in Bonn, but few as well located, if, like us, you're also travelling within the region. Alright, it may not win any prizes for architecture, as perhaps you've already noted from the photographs; moreover, fixtures and furnishings are beginning to show their age. However, the staff could not be more helpful and friendly, every part of the hotel is impeccably clean, the beds are comfortable and the rooms, even those that face the bus station, are very quiet. It's a perfect location from which to get out and explore.

This hotel bills itself as four-star, but don't be misled by this. The facilities are quite basic and there is nothing in the location, design or furnishings that said 'four-star' to me. Perhaps the small spa suite (pool & sauna) in the basement increased the star rating, but it still felt like a good, three-star hotel. Hence, we felt the cost of our stay and of breakfast (€14 - summer 2019) a little expensive.

Location is excellent near the center and main station.

Small pool.

The decor was old and not up to the standard expected. Carpets were badly marked and the chair in the room was disgusting as all the fake leather was peeling off.
