Hotels near Heiligkreuz-Kapelle, Trier

Since all the attractions were closed the day before yesterday, I didn't see the former residence of Marx, who had the highest expectations for the trip to Germany. I was not reconciled and returned! The hotel’s breakfast is good and rich, as well as instant noodles. When checking in, the front desk asked the hotel to email the reservation form received when booking the hotel, and emphasized the importance. This 20-day trip to Germany is the only one that needs to send a reservation form to the hotel. Please pay attention to check-in

The Holiday Inn Express in Trier is a newer hotel in a city without a lot of hotels. It's an easy walk (about 15 minutes) from the historic city center with most of the tourist attractions. If I had to guess I would say the hotel has been open for about a year. There is still a fresh paint smell. Some of the walls by the front desk are also missing paint as if construction or decorating isn't done yet. There's a lot to like about the hotel, including a full bar, fast and free wifi, a good TV, and huge walk-in showers. However, there are some big issues. The hotel advertises free parking. While parking is free, there are NOT enough spaces for all guests. I was told to park in a muddy, dirty field between the parking lot and main road. I had to make an illegal turn from the road, drive over the sidewalk and risk damage to my car and tires. Why was this hotel allowed to build a parking lot that did not have one space for every room? The breakfast is typical by German continental breakfast standards. However, Holiday Inn Express advertises a hot breakfast. There were no hot eggs or anything that adhered to the hot breakfast standard. There is no gym. I have never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express anywhere without a gym, even a small gym. Why does a newly built not have a gym? Guest rooms are very, very small with nothing but a closet, small table and shelve. I had a king-sized room. It would be very crowded if there were two people in the room. My room did not feature the usual Holiday Inn Express amenities. No lotion, no bar of soap, no shampoo, no conditioner and no body wash. Instead, there was one dispenser of Dove soap and one dispenser of Dove shampoo-conditioner. That's it. That is not consistent with my experience at Holiday Inn Express hotels everywhere else. Also, there was no clock, no refrigerator and no coffeemaker, despite coffeemakers being advertised. I did get a kettle with tea and instant coffee. My IHG Spire status recognition at check-in consisted of getting a voucher for a free drink. When I redeemed the voucher at the full bar I was told it didn't cover the cost of a glass of wine. What's the point of the voucher? The bar has several regional wines, but the bartender did not speak English beyond basic words. It was difficult to confirm what wines were dry. Staff were few and far between. On a Saturday night when the hotel seemed 100% sold-out, there was only one front desk employee and one bartender. When issue arose the front desk employee had to leave and go to guest rooms, forcing the bartender who didn't speak fluent English to work both the bar and the front desk. This resulted in wait times of 10 minutes for a drink. After a week of staying in local German hotels I was really looking forward to the consistent chain experience of a Holiday Inn Express. Next time I'm in Trier, I will book the Mercure instead.

When you go to a 4* hotel, you expect a certain level of quality such as having a fridge in the room and air con (all requirements for an international 4* . We were in the best room possible (bar the suite) and had none of the above, nor a kettle. The lack of amenities is disappointing and misleading (although I do not know if the star classification for Germany says that there needs to be aircon/fridge/tea/coffee making facilities.) When we arrived we were disappointed to find that this hotel is located in an industrial area. You have to drive between 2 car garages to get there. It does overlook a nice park but I pity the people who had car park view and view of the job centre opposite (approx half the hotel.) It seems the rooms are very hit and miss. A huge proportion will be on the car park side/job centre) side and the more expensive rooms will overlook the park. But the ones in the souterrain (basement) overlooking the park look like they might be quite dark. Our room had a nice balcony and was nicely furnished but we paid a lot to have this. The spa area is nice but lots of it is outdoors (i.e. to get to the relax room and one of the saunas you have to go outside.) We did not try breakfast. I feel the management should manage expectations and downgrade it to a 3* (at least for non-German travellers).

The staff are great here - upon checkin the Manger helped contact Enterprise for our rental car pickup. This was so helpful. we chose the hotel to be close to the rental car. The hotel feels modern and room were a pretty good size. Only drawback is the hotel is far into town. We did walk it - took about 20 minutes one way. so good to get exercise, but a little far. but it is easy to navigate - down one street to Porta Nigra. The hotel was great for one night, but if you want to spend more time in old town Trier, this might be a bit far.

We had a fab two day visit here. We arrived late afternoon and the check in was swift and friendly. We were advised the Brasserie was opening at 6pm so we sat outside and had delicious food and drink. Great service. Lovely breakfast in the mornings and same attentive service for hot drink choice and cooked foods on the weekday. Room was large, comfortable and clean with great extras like soft drinks, Haribo, toiletries and kettle. Really glad we changed from a Lux city centre hotel to here as it meant we visited local villages like Remich and Echternach. Also close enough for us to go to Lux city for dinner. Great place!

Perfect stay. Arrangement booked including breakfast, dinner and access to Vitalis. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent. Daily use of the pool and saunas in Vitalis. In your bathroom from hotel via lift and bathroom, the swimming pool is in such a way. Nasty towels and bathrooms are daily to exchange. Friendly and helpful staff. In the surrounding area are fun excursions. Beautiful walks to start right from the hotel. Saarburg is a nice city with workshops, waterfalls and castle. Tree top path at the Saarschleife. Saarpolygon is a beautiful view tower.

It's almost perfect, Just one thing and this Hotel deserves a 10/10 The pillows could be better...too flat...for people who are sentitive with their neck or suffer from headache it could be an issue because the next day you rellly feel your neck. For the rest, nothing to say... rooms are great, very good isolated, breakfirst is one of the best iI saw here in Luxembourg (for a 4star hotel) parking is easy to find and the restaurant has deliscious meals too.

The staff were friendly and the surrounding countryside was nice, but the hotel location couldn't take advantage of that. We had a recently refurbished small ground floor room, but it was directly on a very busy, noisy road. There was no air conditioning, so it was a choice of a lot of noise, or a hot, stuffy room. On a hot summer night it would be IMPOSSIBLE. Luckily the bed was comfortable, so eventually able to sleep. The charge of €17 each for breakfast we felt FAR overpriced. It was definitely not a rich choice breakfast that could command that level charge. Only 2 warm items, they were not too good either, poor filtered coffee, no espresso etc... It was all minimum, minimum. It was definitely not worth more than 10€. We have stayed in many hotels and this was the least value for money breakfast we have had. However when you considered the €105 room price and €34 for breakfast, the €139 total was quite an overcharge comparing it to a similar room, in similar hotels in Luxemburg. We were somewhat disappointed.
