This 3-star hotel suits rail travellers and short-stay visitors. Guests say it is a short walk to the train station and the city centre, yet quiet. If you are arriving by train for a night or two, that combination is hard to beat at this price.
Pets appear among the hotel's tags, which may help if you travel with one, but rules and fees are not confirmed.
Skip it if you want more than the basics. The facilities listed are free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace. The score of 8.1 put it fifth of the 6 eligible hotels we compared, so this is a price pick first.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in Aachen. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice is reserved, and this ibis had it.
The large price gap to the other two, plus a walkable location rated 8.9, made it the clear budget choice despite a middling review score.
