Where to Stay

There are many lodging options available in Bonn. You'll find the most variety in places to stay throughout the city center, Bad Godesberg and, further afield, in the area around the Siebengebirge mountains.

City Center

If centrally located hotels are your preference, then Hotel Bristol by the Poppelsdorf Palace is ideal. There is a swimming pool and comfortable, well-appointed rooms. The Hotel Residence on the Kaiserplatz is also a good option, with a sauna, solarium and complimentary breakfast buffet available to guests. The Savoy Hotel and the Hotel Beethoven both offer guests easy access to the bustling pedestrian zone. The view of the Siebengebirge from the balcony at the Beethoven is also a major draw. Don't miss the traditional German offerings created by the remarkable staff at the Savoy's bistro. Be sure to look into the centrally-located Hotel Collegium Leoninum, which features stunning neo-classical architecture and sleek and modern refurbished rooms.

The Holiday Inn is always a good choice for those looking to save some money, and the Hotel Europa is a nice option if you want to stay in the city center. You can also take advantage of a package stay, with options like travel tickets to Phantasialand in Brühl or a three day cycling tour. The Ibis Hotel and the Hotel Consul are popular with business travelers, while the Hotel Baden evokes an elegant, 18th century decor that couples and families appreciate.

Bad Godesberg

Deluxe accommodation can be found at the Maritim Hotel in Bad Godesberg, where an entire fitness area is at your disposal. If you can live without lavish amenities, you'll definitely be able to find a room in a four-star hotel in Bonn. The Rheinhotel Dreesen has been around for the last 100 years. Like the Best Western Kaiserhof, which has been around since 1902, the house has a great view of the Siebengebirge mountains. The Hotel Burgblick offers comfortable rooms equipped with water-beds, and a little something extra: a free three-day public transit pass with their rooms. The hotel is located in a secluded area, and so is a popular alternative to the accommodation that can be found in the city center, since it is still just steps away from the central station.

One hotel that comes highly recommended is the Hotel Eden, which is situated on the Redoute close to the Godesburg. The Hotel Flora is just as good a choice. Emphasis here is placed on exquisite furniture and the atmosphere is in keeping with the building: a Jugendstil villa. The cafe on the outdoor terrace at the Insel Hotel offers a haven of relaxation for those looking to kick back and relax. Check their website for route planning services, to ensure you get the most out of your stay.

Poppelsdorf and Old Town

The Amber Hotel President is close to the Botanical Gardens and the Poppelsdorf Palace. Tourists will find it convenient, as many major transit lines are located just a few blocks away. The Kaiser Karl Hotel is situated in a central location and decorated with classic Jugendstil furniture. Guests also enjoy the traditional English-style bar and indulge in the gourmet cuisine at the in-hotel restaurant. The elegant courtyard at the Hotel Avalon features a lush garden, perfect for taking a relaxing stroll through. Balconies come with every room, which are decorated with 17th century-style furnishings.
